she's the dumpy, frumpy 3 who they keep giving prefabricated, shade-throwing B-roll cutaways to, because A SEASON WITH STAKES THIS LOW NEEDS A VILLAIN RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE That "You Choose" special was loving comedic in its narrowness of scope. The only lipservice Craig got (aside from the only footage of him at all being when he was eliminated) was a corner feedtweet of support from Kyle. This only further bolsters the notion producers did not hesitate to remove him for being "too boring" for a proper clownshow.

lmao I always cackle throughout the pinup challenge episode because it objectively confirms everyone who is not good. This roster has literally no standouts. If JOSHUA OF THE USED CAR DYNASTY performs anywhere near as well as he did in S3 he's going to win by default TheRationalRedditor fucked around with this message at 08:17 on Sep 10, 2014 |

I said this last week but if Josh performs as well as he did in S3, he's a strong bet to win this time. There really are no heavy hitters in the cast overall this season. That's what the results of the pinup challenge revealed.

Instead of useless bugs or tweets it would be way funnier to see a color coded label in a corner classifying the chronology of each talking head/couch yelling segment one after another so you could see exactly how manufactured it all was.Power of Pecota posted:Am I the only one getting the impression that Aaron/Emily don't even dislike each other?

It's a safe bet in saying they kept Julia because she provided them with a the storyline of an entire episode which they will flash back to incessantly during the "greatest hits" montages to come, as well as the fact her tattoo wasn't dogshit. I realized the driving reason Craig got criminally voted off in his season is because he gave the producers virtually nothing dramatic/wacky to work with whatsoever. What self-respecting reality company needs a soft spoken black guy they can't rely on for campy reaction shots or INCENDIARY TALKING HEADS

Honestly I don't think the "Ink Master Sample" could be too egregiously far off in its representation of proportionate skill strata of tattooists the world over. Like any artform there's going to be an extremely small crust of truly talented stand-outs and and endless number of well-meaning/jerkass scrubs. That's life

My favorite part of the rampant unapologetic "live mas'ing" was how every single critique for the flash challenge was over the top in its unconditional positivity so as not to associate doritos and beef substrate with bad, unchill feelings. They never do this about anything, so you knew the segment was basically commissioned. The "GOLDEN GORDITA AWARD" went to a lousy watch tattoo with flowers that looks bad!

Ahahaha, that was the most embarrassing, limp-dick attempt to force a "DRAMABOMB" in the history of the show. They ended up portraying half the remaining cast as shrill, emasculated clucks & part-time D.A.R.E snitches, and as a result the competition is now just running out the clock until Cleen wins, making it somehow even less interesting of a season.

he did a lot better this season, but it's impossible to say if he shut his mouth drastically more because of the countless hours of unseen footage they can't fabricate exchanges out of. I did not stop laughing at the recurring "CHEATER!" jibes by the simpering, pissy-eyed dopes who couldn't have been happier to see a weakness in the frontrunning artist. " 'reefer madness' was a documentary, furthermore the only thing we're more interested in that winning are upholding the proud principles & sanctity of a reality production company's stringent contract law"

Mark has been a non-factor nearly the entire season, benefiting repeatedly from Nunez's unsubtle friendship & favortism, but no other competitor has shown any personality at all compared to when he got the skull picks 2 episodes ago. It was actually amusing on purpose, for all 70 seconds it lasted.

I did agree with him about Erik's tattoo being better than Clean's though. I thought Clean's was just a bad design that looked like Eddie in old-lady drag, while Erik gave his dude the badass, evil design he wanted, plus he pulled it off on the dude's back head & neck area that looked like it had nasty pockmarks and fatrolls. I also thought Cleen's skull looked like some 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' cornball poo poo

Chris May from S3, the beardo with the hat who cried a lot on camera. He seemed alright but he disappeared for good after posting like 3 times. Before that Sarah "Stinkface" Miller from S2 was reputedly some goon's girlfriend, which is still funny in retrospect. He probably died after having his balls gnawed off during a likely breakup.  She's probably been the best performing female artist in the show's run, though.

Hey, what do you know. That was probably the most entertaining finale yet, despite the glaring omission of drawing any attention of Josh's troubles during the awkward, clipped competitor segments. It was somehow steeped with actual suspense despite how foregone the conclusion has seemed the entire back half of the season. Jason's win was actually really energizing to see, and his piece was drat good considering he's probably had next to no new school prowess. I enjoyed watching Cleen's entire reserve of assured confidence instantly evaporate out of his body language the moment he didn't win AMERICA'S "LIVE MAS" VOTE. This one actually came down to the wire for once, and for all the wasted time it did what it intended better than ever before. Also weird was the unspoken omission of Scott Marshall (though one of those pointless tweets at the beginning was his), and the silent ignorance of other past INK MASTERS in the background. But hey, have the coronation of Sausage as officially sanctioned LIVE MAS "fan favorite", drawing a cute anime Xmas elf any canvas will almost certainly regret by the time June rolls around and it's shorts weather. It's interesting that he's teaming up with Joey Hamilton to open their own shop, whatever that means. Above all, big shoutout to Dave Navarro for being "most improved" and "least buffoonish staff member". There's a handful of times this season where he's called out inexplicable nonsense from Peck and Nunez, actually playing the voice of reason. And he's finally got this "live hosting" thing down pat after 5 whole attempts. The only truly embarrassing thing he was embroiled in was that stretch of episodes where he wouldn't stop wearing a fat black grandma's church hats to work. Gotta give credit where it's due after justifiably beating up on him for so long! detectivemonkey posted:This fake live deliberation is just embarrassing for everyone..

detectivemonkey posted:Seriously? You watched that and thought "this is very realistic and certainly genuine"? Besides the fact that I don't buy for a second the idea that they knew what the tattoos looked like before they went on stage but didn't figure out who won. Also, was it weird how desaturated Cleen and Eric's tats appeared to be? Is a side-effect of color realism looking kind of faded a months or two after completion? Odd that they singled out Jason for a critique on background saturation when his was the only one that was vivid while pleasingly contrasting (new school style or not). I figure they dodged around Josh because it's a litigious matter, but notice also that they reinvited him for one of the specials which shows just how much the producers care about rule violations defying the SPIRIT OF INK MASTER (it was probably more of a spike tv/viacom legal concern) TheRationalRedditor fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Dec 17, 2014 |

Josh definitely would been in the final showdown, which is what makes them willfully ignoring his situation all the more silly. Still, nothing is ever going to be as memorably heinous as them booting Craig, who I doubt has attended any Ink Master event after that season since it's reasonable to assume his shop is actually quite successful.

Probably, and it's even funnier because I have a feeling a flighty flake would actually be bothered by the revelation that their prospective tattoo won the competition and they missed out on a ton of attention and an icebreaker anecdote for life, while being left with something too big to feasibly cover up.
