Nora's horseman should have won the competition. Evan's was good but it didn't read as Death to me and looked more like War, if anything. I think it was the overuse of red in the entire character. LOL at Ben staying with that off the rails War make-up.

Shneak posted:I was a fan of a lot of the makeups this week, perhaps because this theme is right up my ally. Definitely the strongest showcase so far though it's not saying much. It's nice to have the breakthrough. I agree it was a strong week. I really thought the death mummy sculpt was excellent... he really captured that shrinking wrinkly look. I was not a huge fan of Meg's execution but the concept was interesting.

I think that McKenzie's awesome silver crocodile skin dress was more freakshowy than most of the makeup entries this week.

Starting to feel like Nora is the chosen one for this season. A lot of her stuff is really meh but the judges are always gushing over it. All the safe make-ups looked way better than lobster-man, which was probably the laziest thing on stage.

I liked Evan's? I mean, the concept wasn't great but I didn't mind the execution. I don't know how much more you can make a moon out of a person unless you're not doing it physically. The judges don't seem to like any moon ladies. I'd say Meg deserved to get booted (finally, apparently). Last week was a good place to pull ideas and execution techniques but her gore looked like wax or crystallized.

Ben's looked like a poor application. And the peacock part was supposed to be carnie costume and not actual growing feathers, right? Kind of odd the judges were so happy. Also it finally clicked who Ben reminds me of: Shay's Dad in Broken Age

"Did you notice that it looks a little simian?" "No" "Because it's holding a hurdy gurdy, you know, the organ grinder/monkey thing." "Where am I" "Like you could use this, organ grinder got flesh ripped off by monkey, monkey disease, yadda yadda" "Why do my hands always look kind of red" Ben's character has such a Joel Grey as Emcee from Cabaret vibe.

Man is it just me or has the judging been VERY funky for the last few episodes? Usually I agree with the judges for defined reasons, but now it feels like I'm going "WHAAAAT" more than anything. I like Ben, I think he does good stuff but.. winner? Really? I pegged him for being back on bottom looks. And I thought the one that lost was possibly the strongest on stage; it might not have fit the challenge but by God it was better than the other crap. That worm-parasite looking ice should have landed the other girl on the bottom too. What the gently caress is going on? It feels like people are getting bumped for good stuff, and being lauded for producing poo poo. I kept hearing them talk about how great Ben's was as the only upper look, and every time it panned back to his I was like "... what the hell are you guys talking about?"

I disagree, Ben was on of the few that actually understood the challenge, the point was to do carnival freaks and Ben did that perfectly. It was not over the top like most of the others, and it was also done very well. Meg's poorly done skinless gorilla deserved to be at the bottom. Scott and Ben are my favourites to win the competition.

I just got to the horseman episode and holy gently caress Evan straight-up ripped off Attack on Titan and was pretending it was his own, which is itself a ripoff of poo poo like Hellraiser III. gently caress that guy. I don't care if every artist steals concepts, gently caress that noise. I was especially disappointed in Glenn for gushing over it, as he's the kind-of guy I would expect to have at least seen some Attack on Titan imagery at some point via an intern or whatever and definitely seen Hellraiser III if not outright worked on it to some capacity. Evan:  Attack on Titan:  Hellraiser III:

Also skinless Frank in the original Hellraiser and skinless Julia In Hellraiser 2 There is no loving way that Glenn hasn't seen those three movies. Edit: I just googled and one of his first tattoos was the Lament Configuration box from Hellraiser.

Yeah I still like the show but the Producer interference is really smelly this season. The sound clips are much more obviously edited than usual, and I smell some fishiness in helping out some of the contestants on the d/l. At least they got rid of that bald actor rear end in a top hat right away. You could smell that he was full of himself and wasn't on the show's wavelength at all and is basically why they booted him first chance they got after realizing he wasn't going to be a team player.

It's Focus Challenge night! Let's see how many disastrous faces we can count. Tonight's another SyFy synergy theme by promoting some show called The Expanse. Kind of like Defiance back in season five. I have no idea what happened to that show. Interestingly the challenge isn't "make an alien" but instead "make a human that evolved in the wrong natural disaster." Then again, that's wide open for aliens.

mind the walrus posted:Yeah I still like the show but the Producer interference is really smelly this season. I'm strongly getting this feeling, and the show is worse for it. I loving hate focus challenges. 2 day challenges are a waste and everyone's work turns out like poo poo, yet they've been cranking them out constantly. Then the eliminations lately have gone totally off the rails. Face/Off usually felt pretty fair before, though you'd get an edge if you had done well in the past. I never found myself going "What the gently caress?" after the judge decisions, maybe but once a season, if that.... this season has been constant. The ratings I noticed took a hit this season too, from it's consistent norm. What the hell happened? VendaGoat posted:How did Ben now get sent home? I was pulling for Ben but it feels like his stuff has been rear end for a few episodes now. Then again, 2 day challenges would have utterly ruined most of the previous competitors, too. And because there's so many 2 day ones, when the 3 day ones DO hit, nobody's in the groove; usually you have a season begin with a few 3 day challenges and everyone's stuff gets better as they adjust to the tempo. gently caress, these 2 day things aren't even a full two days. It's really a day + last looks. I'm not SFX expert but I DO recall them talking about how much they need that extra day so they don't have to use lovely foam over latex and stuff; has anyone noticed how they NEVER mention that this season? Yeah, nobody has time to make the right call. Coyote Ugly posted:Again, more focus on the face and not fabrication. I imagine this is going to be a wonderful disaster. To me, focus challenges are coming off as "We slashed your makeup budget and maybe also slashed your filming budget, make loving do assholes."

He has been on the bottom a few times, but he has also made some of the best work this season, and i don't think he was the worst this week. Something really lacking this season is that there is no one who really stands out, in the past there have almost always been 2-3 people who were consistently excellent, but it hasn't happened this time around.

Speaking of Ben, this could just be a random person on reedit but the name was "benplowguy", and it has some interesting info in it if it's actually coming from someone who worked on the show.quote:you correct about the time crunch. our season was probably the shortest in regards to shoot days. we only had 2 months to complete the season when most have 2.5 to 3 months. we barely had days off. it got pretty rough at times. as for the focus challenges and the gauntlet, i agree with you. i didnt really like either one of them. les than 3 days was just to little time to conceptualize, in my opinion. and focus challenges i hated. but i hate them for my own inadequacy. i just didnt do well with them. i dont know this officially, but its been suggested that the focus challenges were specifically designed to shorten our shoot days. also, every season the budget is cut. this goes for pretty much every show on television.

This would explain a lot. I wonder why the show would be on such a time crunch. If anything the show needs to take much longer breaks between seasons. They're produced almost 10 seasons in half a decade, that is ridiculous output even for a reality show. Clamknuckle posted:The first thing I saw was Freddy's redesign in New Nightmare. That was it.

Based on that reddit post I don't think Ben's going to make the finale. It would be weird to have a winner not be happy with their work/consider it mediocre. Two people are eliminated tonight and he's been close recently, though he seemed to start the competition well and I considered him a candidate to win. Evan's edit has picked up since the gauntlet and Nora's got the whole 'conceptual meltdown turned into top looks makeup' going. Jordan's a sleeper who's not bad but hasn't been considered amazing. Scott's the guy with experience and the resume to pull it off. I'm predicting 1. Evan 2. Nora 3. Scott 4. Jordan 5. Ben

Yeah that was great but I can't see them pulling it out too often, it probably doubled the amount of time the judges had to sit around in the studio. Having said that I can imagine that if there's a future episode where everyone fucks up their paint jobs they might go "You all suck, get back to Last Looks and fix this poo poo"
