Dying at 3 of them doing the "spike talons" gimmick. Would be amazing if Tyler chokes here and gets sent home when Niko's been on the bottom practically every loving episode.

Wait...was that Turk in the preview for JHCSC?

Niko doesn't have the right mindset for this. When you're making a werewolf and the ear is hosed up you just make it battle damage, duh.

That's what I was thinking. He made a far better chupa than Cat and Daran's ChupAbomination from episode 6.

Of course, I'm not sure how well that's gonna fly in the werewolf competition... :v:

Honestly, I kinda like Niko's idea, it just looks terrible. Shooting spines out at surrounding vampires sounds like a pretty good attack. That's kind of awesome that George managed to fix the lips to the point that the judges were impressed with how he applied that mouth.

Hey, remember back in season 1, when they just had to make two characters that stood in front of a backdrop? Remember how great that was, because the artists could do whatever without having to worry if the make-up would fall off during the dubstep dance? I miss that.

I actually like watching dance routines, but theirs suck. Crappy music that they may or may not actually be dancing to, since I don't know if they dance to the royalty free music or if they dance to something pleasant to listen, and the dancers have to work around the make-up. See my bitch about dancers not being able to spot during last season's finale.

Like, I don't mind that the artists have to make sure their make-up holds up to a bunch of abuse. But they aren't dancers and it looked like they had to design without talking to the dancers/choreographer before in the previous seasons. It just seemed like a really bad set-up to create anything that didn't look stupid while dancing.

Edit: drat, Russ. Glad you're so concerned about everyone else loving up. You sure are a nice guy. :haw:
I hope that "concerned catiness" that I'm getting from that s just a product of editing.

I noticed that for all his whining and bitchiness he was also the only contestant we saw trying to help the others without being asked.


Wow, a lot of the contestants in JHCSC this week were really out of their depth. Why the gently caress do they even have contestants who don't know how to do mechanizations when that's going to be a huge part of most of the challenges? At least on Face Off if they don't know how to do one technique they can swap in another technique they're familiar with because they're pretty much just going for the look and nothing else, here they need to know all about sculpting and painting and then mechanization on top of that and now they also have to write skits for their characters.

Its especially weird because they clearly didn't expect them to know how to mold anything, they brought in the mold team to do all that. So why not bring someone in to help them with the mechanization stuff? I'm sure if I was an expert molder I'd be pissed that I didn't get to use that to my advantage in this competition.

If I hadn't seen the show and I didn't know what the topic had been there's no way I would have identified that as a werewolf.

I still can't comprehend how Niko managed to make it almost to the final three. The only explanation I can think of is the producers want a minority to win (which had me worried last week that they'd use some bullshit excuse to get rid of Tyler) so they were trying to get as many through to the end as possible. But I don't get the impression that Face Off has that level of producer interference.

I'm still not getting much out of Jim Henson. It seems like the process of creating not-muppets requires a much wider range of skills than doing makeup, so the contestants are generally not as strong as on Face Off. I'm not seeing a Roy or Laura or Anthony in any of the contestants. Most of the creatures on the last episode looked pretty rough/unfinished. Donald Faison really sold what could have been a lot of interminable "comedy", though, so at least there was that.

I wish the show was able to cast more pro's like Laura and fewer people like... everyone from the first half of this season who I have already totally forgotten. When their names come up in the intro I totally draw a blank. I feel like for whatever reason this season's cast just wasn't particularly talented, except for these last five or so people except Niko.
