I am really split on Ben and Evan this season. I mean, they're personable enough, but it seems like they really only come through when it's an elimination challenge (though their skeleton girl in the Monster High challenge was really good). It's a little 'here we go again' when they got Jekyll/Hyde and gold puppet that they were like 'we have NO ideas' and just kind of muddle through it. I'm thinking Tyler and Emily are taking the whole thing, but it also seems like it can come down to luck of the draw with the topic.

It probably sounds ridiculous, but I shouted 'yes!' and slapped my knee when they announced Adam. I thought he was the weaker of the Logan-Adam team. The Circus Freak family was goddamn awesome. TV jumped right to the Cosplay show. Anybody know if the teams stay the same next week and Tyler/Emily/Logan are down a man, or will there be some kind of reshuffling or going down to individuals now?

I assumed the drool was some kind of makeup effect, like how SFX artists make slime for creatures, but I dunno. Missed about the first 20 mins last night, hahaha Adam totally hosed himself/screwed the team. E: Evan still wearing the Ben shirt/all of them wearing shirts w/their own faces at elimination was both hilarious and sadsack. I had a dream the other night related to this show. My boyfriend and I were on the show and our draw for the challenge was 'electric skeleton'. Pretty much all of it was 'how the gently caress have we not been eliminated yet?!'

Dr Zaius posted:I was hoping Evan would go home I really hate that loving brain hat. I'm wondering if that stupid hat is like a good luck charm or something. It looks dumb, but c'mon, all of Team Sadsack's judging phase fashion choices were hilariously sad. I was bummed to see Ben out this week, especially after he did such an amazing job on the hydrocephalus sculpt/makeup last week. It seemed like the team sadsack curse still holds; Ben and Evan can nail it one week, but not the next. I kinda hope they split off the superteams and just go 'Logan and Evan, you're never gonna win, but have fun!'

Cosplay Melee is more like Chopped. Four different contestants each episode; one gets cut after the first round, and after the second round they announce a winner. The one thing I'm not clear on, is the show self-contained every episode, or will they take the winners from each episode and later in the season have them compete? I like both Faceoff and CM, not only because it's interesting to see people make cool stuff, but a lot of the contestants seem really good-matured and helpful to one another. I haven't seen every season of Faceoff, did Syfy try to insert false drama on the show in early seasons? I feel like the most critical thing people have said about other contestants is like 'He spent too much time making a prop'

My boyfriend asked me if any contestants from previous seasons ever didn't complete a look for a challenge? Not things like Ben covering the rat-witch hands with fingerless gloves or a not so stellar paint job, but like a catastrophic gently caress-up. Nothing's coming to mind except that one guy from season 5(?) that threw a fit and left on the first episode. I'm betting Evan, Logan, or Emily is getting the axe tonight. But at the same time, with Adam gone, Logan had a pretty good showing on his own last week.

I hadn't seen Cig and George before, and at the start of the season, I just immediately thought 'my God they look insufferable'. But they showed me how wrong I was...

I hope the grand prize they've been advertising the whole season has just been a ruse, and the actual prize is a lifetime supply of those Ben shirts.

Finally saw the episode. Emily's was great all around, but I absolutely loved loved loved Cig's. Tyler did a good job too, but it didn't look Victorian, and the judges were right it looked super derivative of his past several weeks of challenges. George's head sculpt was great, but I did a little sympathy cringe for him every time they showed the full silhouette of the model on the reveal stage. His little happy dance when he found out he was in the finals was completely  though.

Yay Cig!  Great finale all around.Though, now I just want a show where Cig and George hang out and... do stuff. Doesn't even have to be makeup related. Season one episode two: They go to PF Chang's because Cig got coupons for half priced appetizers. Special guest stars: Ben and Evan.

Mywhatacleanturtle posted:Is there a link to the preview of next season? My dvr cut it off, and it seems like two makeup companies will be competing? What? Yeah, I had a preview with no audio, so I had no clue what the gently caress. By two make up companies, do they mean like, half the contestants get strictly Ben Nye, and half get strictly Kryolan or something?

Miz Kriss posted:Is no one gonna acknowledge that someone thought giving a werewolf six boobies was a good idea? I mean, I could roll with it from a whole 'mix of wolf/human attributes' (I honestly have zero clue how many teats canines have), but then again I don't recall how prominently they were sculpted. That 'white wolf team' (it'll take me a few weeks to keep names straight) Omega that got green hair eliminated was an absolute clunker. The whole makeup didn't look like a werewolf, it looked like a slightly confused dog.

CommaToes posted:Naw, I'd prefer if the one team kept losing people until it was 1 person vs 6 people and the judges were not fair to the one person. "You seemed to have some issues with time management." Considering 'Twisted Six' aside from Nick seem kind of hopeless, by God I hope we see that. The thread title for this season ought to be 'FACE OFF: Goofus and Gallant edition'. The queen termite was a bungle by the winning team, but if you're making wasp people, dear god don't give them bug eyes and also just leave their actual eyes there. The worst I thought was the wasp drone; Neville said it looked more beak-like, but from the black mouth on yellow face, all I could think of was 'Holy poo poo, they made Bee Al Jolson'. The queen face matched with that amazing cowl Nick made really brought it down too. Was a little bummed by the elimination though. I found Al rather charming. Plus, it seemed like such a poo poo reason. 'You guys need to do three makeups and a prop. Guy tasked with making the prop, you didn't do enough make up. Go home.'

Beer_Suitcase posted:Who was the foreperson on Joseph's team? Why didn't anyone tell him a frozen lump head wasn't the way to go? I think it was KC. But at that point, he still had absolutely nothing planned so Twisted Six's newest transfer (I can never remember his name) tried to help him come up with something that wasn't just dicking around making snowflakes. If you're in such a creative hole that another team member has to Hail Mary a concept on the second day, things aren't looking good before the finished product. The rose-head make up and Faina's autumn one were great. Every week I'm surprised Phil doesn't get sent packing (those cowl seams were so glaring) but it's like his saving grace is somebody managing to bungle things worse than him every week.

Honestly, it's barely a team/shop thing anymore. At most, the past two episodes have been like 'hey our team's models will have coordinating outfits/ will all be holding bouquets'. There may have been a way to make this season's concept interesting but the way T6 keeps bleeding members each challenge probably threw it off the rails. I'm kind of interested in the behind the scenes stuff for coming up with this season, like how they decided who would be placed initially on which team, and if they realized things would roll so ridiculously lop-sided.

Wow, this week it's like Phil got possessed by a competent artist. Andrew definitely deserved the win, his makeup was cool and he had time enough to spare to make that baby prop. I didn't really pay him much mind in the earlier episodes, but now that it's basically just individual challenges, it looks like him and Faina are the two to beat. Suzanne and Kiersten though, jeez...

I love how this show just gives up on its own rules when it feels like it. 'Twisted Six you totally trashed the other team, but go home Phil.' I spent so much of the season ragging on the guy but once they announced Kiersten was safe, he seemed like he knew it was coming. I actually found him pretty affable. While I hope that they never try this type of season again, did any of artists actually get kicked off for doing a lousy job as the foreman? E: I also said it early on this season, but I don't understand how judges make their decisions; sure Phil's face might not have evoked the infection as well as the other two, but he also sculpted Andrew's chest piece and a prop (I have no idea if they take past performance into consideration or if they just go 'eh gently caress it; that one goes home') LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Aug 3, 2017 |

Miz Kriss posted:I think one of the main problems is that they were trying to get the best of both worlds in the aspect of a team competition vs an individual competition. If they ever tried some sort of team thing again, the only thing I think might be more 'manageable' would be some sort of remix of how they did All-Stars' pairs. Like, say you get to pick one or two teammates depending on the challenge. The top look is safe, but the teams don't carry over from episode to episode. So say we have a team consisting of A and B. They win a challenge, and the next week they get to pick their teammate first, but it can't be each other. So A can pick C or D as their partner the next ep. If done in a non-stupid way, I think that sort of format could work, adding a strategic element to it. So, if they have to make I dunno, succubi for a challenge, does A want to pick C who is better at beauty-makeup and detail work to partner with, or D whose paint skills might not be so sharp, but he can sculpt and fabricate like a madman? It could just be editing/length, but I agree with what you said about 'not on your guy, doesn't count'. At least last season they'd ask the squads 'yeah, hey so who worked on what?'. This season it seemed to drop off when it devolved into 'individuals but on a team'.

Andrew and KC were definitely going into the finals unless something catastrophic happened to them; goofy space-turkey or not. While Kiersten's pant job looked really good, given how badly she's been bungling on several of the challenges (starfish head, spooky radio ghost with like zero prosthetics) I felt Faina would have overall been a stronger choice to have put into the finals. Nelson was just... Nelson. Good at what he did, but he always just seemed like he was just 'there' during the whole season; chilling decidedly in the 'doesn't stand out, but doesn't screw up' range. I thought the paint job on his eyes was really good though.

I'm not sure if regular Face Off is going away, but while I was watching, there was an ad for a 'new' show called Game Face. According to SyFy's website, it's going to be four different returning contestants in three elimination rounds every episode. So it sounds like they're mashing together Face Off with Cosplay Melee's progressive elimination style.
