Face Off (2011) s02e05 Episode Script

Previously on Face Off The artists were asked to create an original horror villain.
Don't do that! Ian claimed victory, but Brea's villain failed to impress, and she was sent home.
Now ten artists remain.
And tonight The artists face their most dangerous challenge yet.
Oh, my gosh.
And tempers flare like never before.
It looks too clean.
That looks like [Bleep.]
.
I'm filled right now with revenge.
Leading to a dramatic showdown onstage.
That's really [Bleep.]
that you're throwing her under the bus.
Like all of that was just working for me.
I'm going to be brief: Shameful.
It's one of the best I've ever seen.
And to make it to the top, they'll have to impress our award-winning panel of judges.
Ve Neill, three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist whose work includes Beetlejuice, and The Amazing Spiderman.
Patrick Tatopoulos, production designer on this summer's Total Recall and director of Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans.
And Glenn Hetrick, cutting-edge makeup artist on The Hunger Games and custom designer for Lady Gaga.
Who will be the next great name in movie magic and earn $25,000 in makeup supplies from Alcone, the reinvented 2012 Toyota Camry hybrid, and $100,000? Only one will win Face Off.
Brea's gone, and I'm so upset.
She's my best friend at the house.
I love her.
Makes it real.
Now I feel very lonely.
As long as I'm here, I'm always gonna be here for you.
It was always us against them, and now it's just me and Matt.
Just say that you wanna win the next one.
I wanna win the next one.
Victory would mean a lot to me, and my dad as well.
'Cause before he passed away, he always used to tell me, "I'm gonna get you back to California someday.
" And I think that my being here is him keeping his promise.
My dad's been pulling strings since this whole thing started.
Right, talking to God.
Him and God have coffee every morning.
"Let's talk about my son RJ.
He's a good boy, a good boy!" You have him down.
Are you sure you didn't know him? We're walking through this very dense woods, and it feels like huge forests.
It's a big, intense atmosphere.
We see a bunch of wild animals.
It's creepy and woodsy, and we're looking around like, "what the heck are we gonna do?" Hey, guys.
Good morning.
Please welcome our guest judge, Sam Huntington.
He's currently starring as the werewolf character, Josh, on SyFy's smash hit series Being Human.
Hi, guys.
Oh, my God, it's Sam Huntington.
We're in the woods, and he plays a werewolf.
There has to be something up here.
Sam has worn a tremendous amount of special effects makeups and also has a very unique perspective on today's foundation challenge, which is to create an original trauma makeup-- Wounds that would have been inflicted by a werewolf.
In your opinion, what do you think it takes to make a great trauma makeup? Well, there's a lot.
Realism of placement, where on the body the werewolf would attack? How old the wound is, timeframe, how long ago did it happen? Maybe it's started to heal.
If that's the case, maybe the person is starting to transform themselves.
There's been a million werewolf movies, so a different approach is what I'm looking for.
- Thank you, Sam.
- Yeah.
All right, guys, you got Your models and your workstations have been randomly assigned to you.
The winner of this challenge will receive immunity and cannot be eliminated this week.
Good luck, because your time starts now.
Now! Go! Go! Run! No, I'm sorry.
I get excited.
- Gonna get me some cuts.
- Excuse me.
So we all run to the table, and we see a bunch of foam appliances, and so I immediately grab three of them.
How open to getting disgusting are you? Whatever you want.
I see some tubing and some syringes, and I thought, oh, this is awesome.
We're gonna do a blood tube gag.
I love the foundation challenges.
Being fast is one of my assets.
I've worked on some projects where we had to do traumas really fast.
Are you ready to be bitten by the werewolf? I'm doing a lot of 3rd degreeing, which is the skin-safe silicone.
And then I'm going to use some vinyl gloves to dangle some skin down.
- Can you take your shirt off? - Sure.
Yay.
Creating wounds is a fundamental aspect of special effects.
You have to know the underlying anatomy if you're gonna create huge tears.
All right, guys, you have an hour left.
Pulling back the lip is something that no one else is gonna do.
I liked Sam Huntington's suggestion about transitioning into a werewolf.
So I'm gonna go with hair spreading out from his wound.
First I put down the tubing and make it stick out a little bit so it looks like a severed jugular vein.
Then I have this idea, okay, I'm gonna make an eyeball hang out of her face.
And that's what I wanted to see.
Werewolf snack.
Argh! All right, 15 minutes left.
I'm doing a werewolf that he's been bitten or he's fighting, and as he's still trying to fight for his life he's starting to change already.
We're running out of time.
We only have one minute.
Lift your arms up.
Beki's model is bloody.
She's gonna need several showers.
Time is up, everybody.
Stop your work.
Sam and I are going to see how you did.
- Hi, Tara.
- Hi, Sam.
Tell us about your werewolf attack.
He was putting up a good fight.
First he got hit, and then he starts turning, he starts healing up.
- And you hand-laid the hair.
- Mm-hmm.
It looks very nice.
What we've got going on is a laceration across the throat, and then on the right side we've got a claw mark across the eyes.
I love that it's over her eye.
The only critique I would have is there's no hint of her eye underneath there.
Exactly, that's what-- It looks like she never had an eye.
I like that you made his ear pointy with the hair.
Yeah, there weren't any ears, so Yeah, and I like the transformation.
It's all focused around the wound too.
That's neat.
So if I was the werewolf, argh! - Nice! - Grabbed her.
Oh, my God, that's disgusting.
It's pretty awful.
Oh, man, she definitely gross.
I really like that you incorporated the bite mark in there, and it's really successful.
It looks really great.
Thank you, thank you.
This is lunch.
She's not even gonna turn into a werewolf.
She's just a snack.
And I put these little guys in the back.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah.
I'm no doctor, but I can tell you right now that's gonna be an issue for you.
Yes.
People don't realize how much actors know about the special effects industry.
Sam is constantly in makeup all the time, and he's surrounded by this, so he's an expert.
So that is a completely original prosthetic right there, this piece right here? Yes.
Gross.
All right, Sam, so what did you think? I think you guys are amazing.
Doing what you did in 90 minutes, mind-blowing.
Who do you think did the best? Heather, very, very cool.
I loved how the transformation that you had started was localized around the wound and how the depth changes from the ear down to the chest.
Bravo.
I'm one of the top makeups, so that's pretty exciting.
It's my first time to really get called out for good things.
And, uh, and Beki.
Beki, of course.
It's always Beki.
Really cool.
The depth of all your wounds.
Really like the concept.
I loved your bite mark.
I thought it was really, really cool.
And who is our winner? The winner is Beki.
- Thank you very much.
- Beautiful job.
Yes, yes, it was tremendous.
I really, really enjoyed all of it.
Going into the spotlight challenge with immunity, I'm gonna be here for another week.
That's awesome.
Beki, congratulations.
You have won immunity this week and cannot be eliminated.
All right, everybody, I will meet you back at the lab for your spotlight challenge.
Oh, my gosh.
Everything's changed.
All our tables are moved, and there's animals and plants everywhere.
There's aquariums with lizards.
There's an owl.
There's a bunch of really big wolves.
There's not a big barrier between me and any of them.
At any point, they can just rip our heads off.
There's a bear and a guy with a gun.
Hey, guys.
As you can see, we've made a few changes to the lab this week.
You are now standing amongst some of the most beautiful plants and animals on earth.
But don't let that fool you, because this is nature's way of warning you, of luring you into a trap.
Because all of these things are extremely dangerous.
Some of these things can even kill you.
That is this week's spotlight challenge, to create something not only stunningly beautiful but also extremely deadly.
You'll be working in teams of two.
Each team will select a plant and an animal and use elements from them to make your final creature makeup.
Your teams have been randomly selected, and they are Heather and Rayce.
RJ and Ian.
Jerry and Matt.
Athena and Tara.
And Beki and Sue.
My partner is Beki, and I'm not thrilled at all, because she thinks too highly of herself and she has immunity.
Now if you would please stand next to your team members.
Obviously we're standing amidst an incredible array of animals, but I do have one more for you.
Guys.
- Oh, my God.
- No way.
So today is the spotlight challenge.
McKenzie's introducing all these different plants and animals.
They are some of the most beautiful and some of the most deadly.
And there's something moving around behind this green wall.
Guys.
Oh, my God.
No way.
That is awesome.
- Damn.
- Oh, my goodness.
I'll be damned if there's not a rhinoceros in the shop.
Wow.
That is a southern white rhino.
- Holy crap.
- It looks like a dinosaur.
Its head is as large as me.
It's insane.
- Pretty amazing, huh? - It's cool.
You will now select a plant and an animal and use elements from them to make your final creature makeup.
Heather, Rayce, make your choice.
The water monitor's right in front of us, and we loved the wrinkles in his skin and his pattern, so don't even look at the others.
All right.
Shoot.
Yeah.
Slipper orchid I really like.
Look at the face.
Oh, my God, this is so neat.
Athena really likes the bright colors of the snake.
Her paint jobs have been so phenomenal that if she has a plan, I'm gonna go with it.
What do you say? You afraid of it? Uh What goes with that color? Yellow iris.
That's what I was thinking.
Oh, wow.
This is pretty incredible.
I want to do the white rhino.
Sue thinks that it might not translate, and I've got immunity.
I should really let her do what she wants to do.
And the bird of paradise, right? Let's do it.
All right, so it looks like you have everything that you need.
You will have half an hour to look at your plants and animals to draw inspiration for your designs.
Good luck, everybody.
Your time starts now.
I'm letting Rayce do the sketching.
I don't wanna sketch next to him - because that man's amazing.
- Good grief.
We have no appendages.
What will we do with his arms and legs? Do we wanna go for realistic or do we wanna go for, like-- It's gotta be subtle.
It can't be this overdone Halloween [Bleep.]
.
That's really cool.
I'm thinking, what if the chameleon camouflages itself as the orchid? - It's up to here.
- Exactly.
Beki and I were sketching, and I'm surprised it's going so well.
We both want to have a female tarantula just to give that beautifully dangerous aspect.
Yes, perfect.
Right on the same page.
Crazy.
At the end of the day, I'm a little worried about our creature.
I feel like we have some ideas, but it doesn't feel like a complete picture.
Time's up, we gotta go, guy so I'm hoping we'll still be able to pull it out.
- We start our 12-hour lab day, which is all we've got for this challenge.
What if we make it a Mayan Aztec warrior? My goals today are to sculpt, mold, and cast in foam the cat face.
For the sculpt, you take clay and work on the stone positive of the model.
Your sculpture is going to be what your prosthetic will end up looking like.
Our concept is 80% lizard and 20% firestick.
I was gonna make some holes too so we could, like, put some stuff in front.
Oh, yeah, I agree.
Rayce and I are working really well together, and we decide that he will sculpt the face, and I'll do the headpiece and the tail.
I like the profile.
Yeah, I'm liking the profile too.
All right, you take over on this sculpture.
I'm gonna work on the flowers.
The orchid has those three leaves.
There's a big main leaf and two leaves off to the side.
And then there's a couple at the bottom.
So I go ahead and I start fabricating the back piece out of vacuform plastic and a heat gun.
And I'm making the shapes of the petal as I go.
We come up with what I consider to be a great concept.
It's got this spider face and an exoskeleton and arms with these petaled leaves.
Sue is very adamant about just sculpting the face.
I just wanna make sure that we have a costume for our creature.
You think the petal is not a good idea? - Yeah, no.
- Okay.
I think it should be a spike like, psh, psh, psh, psh.
I'm getting apprehensive about her direction style.
One of the ideas that I came up with was to put petals on the back.
And if he, like, curled up into a ball, it would, like, spike out from the curve of his back.
Hey, guys.
I'm here with ve to do a little walkthrough today.
I'm always excited to see ve.
I'm very starstruck when she comes in the room.
It's a chameleon, right? So he's camouflaging himself as the flower.
And it secretes, like, a poison ivy kind of rash thing, yeah.
- Poison Ivy, I did her.
- Yeah, I know you did.
You have immunity, right? That's true.
Are you worried about that? Um, I believe that Beki always puts 110%.
And what's his tail gonna be made out of? Foam latex.
It's a big piece.
You guys are so bloody brave.
- I know.
- Wow.
Is this gonna be something fabricated - or is this gonna be-- - It's gonna be foam latex.
- It's gonna be foam.
- Yes.
Okay, let's talk about Heather and Rayce.
She's got that big old tail in there.
That freaks me out.
Why does that make you nervous? 'Cause it's a big mold, especially to do out of foam.
But I think with Tara and Athena, it might have looked really cool to do the snake in silicone.
Foam has a tendency to give things - a very matte look.
- Matte, dull.
And the silicone would have given it that creepy, shiny effect, you know? All right, Sue and Beki.
I think they have some really cool ideas as far as the design of it goes.
As long as they remember to incorporate the flower, it should be really cool.
All right, well, I cannot wait for tomorrow.
Me too.
Hey, Rayce.
I'm making pincers out of foam, and I'm gonna make it look textured.
But I look over and I see Beki is already painting her suit, so I realize that we're diverging off of different styles.
Are you gonna shave it? No, I'm not.
What kind of texture are you going for then? Not that texture.
That looks like [Bleep.]
.
I thought you were gonna make those a lot smoother.
Hey, do you think that this would look more real or this would look more real? I would say if you're gonna go with this, then your whole spider needs to have that.
Right.
Sue comes over and she wants some advice from Rayce.
And I'm thinking, maybe you should go ask your partner these things.
He said that this looks a little bit too clean, but maybe we can put flocking on it.
To tie in her two elements, she wants me to texturize the entire exoskeleton of this creature.
My opinion doesn't matter.
Sure, no problem.
I'm about to lose it.
I cannot handle that Sue is so unaware of how terrible this is going to look.
That looks like [Bleep.]
.
Beki is working on a full-body creature suit, but it looks too clean and suity.
I'm sorry, what were you discussing with Rayce? Oh, I was just asking him what would look better.
So my opinion doesn't matter.
- Dude, I need your advice.
- Huh? Beki's not cooperating.
I feel like she's slowing down.
I think you should just do what you need to do to get it done, even if you have to downsize it a little bit.
Okay.
I think we are creating a big pile of [Bleep.]
.
When the sculpture is finished, it's time to make the mold.
You do this by putting cement on top of the sculpture.
Once it hardens, you fill it with foam or silicone, which eventually becomes the prosthetic.
My creature's flower petal is painted from the back so that the paint's foggy matte finish doesn't cloud the plastic, and then that way the inside is still glossy and shiny and looks very wet and plant-like.
I really want to impress the judges.
So instead of just doing regular body painting, I'm going to make every single scale any apply them all on the body.
To cut all these and glue all these individually, you know, I think they should go on in sheets, not one by one.
It's gonna kill us.
I know Athena gets carried away in the lab, she happens to regularly put all this effort into a project that she doesn't end up using.
Like, I see where you're going with it, and I like it, but I think it needs to have, like, a little bit of the smoothness with it.
I just wish that we were on the same page.
After this, I mean, it's gonna be cohesive anyway.
I hope that I didn't offend you or anything.
Oh, my God, she won't stop talking.
This one thing's not being cooperative and I hope that-- I think I am being cooperative, am I not? I'm adding texture.
You went over and asked somebody else their opinion.
That's not working with me.
That's working with somebody else.
I'm feeling like Sue has misdirected me.
Sue wanted it to match with the two little pincers that she made.
I'm regretting the fact that I allowed her to take the alpha role in this situation.
It's the end of the day.
I look up and I'm like, ugh! This could turn out horrible.
I know Ian isn't really enthused about this, but I have been the underdog this entire time, so I have to step it up a notch.
If it doesn't work out, send me packing.
One minute, everyone.
One minute.
That's time, everyone.
So it's application day.
We only have four hours with our models and one hour of last looks onstage.
That come out okay? I'm a little worried about Beki.
- It came out all right.
- Yeah.
Risking my staying in this competition on her is a little scary.
What's up, Ticia? Whoo-Whoo.
Oh, ladies.
At least we got a tail.
I'm pretty nervous.
We have so much to do today.
Immediately I get started on the application.
I do the bald cap, I apply the face, apply the head.
All this time, Rayce is trimming up the tail, painting the tail.
Going as fast as we can.
Do you want to pre-paint while I'm putting the bald cap on? I could start, yeah.
I can throw a piece down like nobody's business in about 20 minutes.
So Ian took over the paint.
But I was getting concerned because he was taking more time than he should be.
Hour and 20 minutes.
The application is taking way too long.
With the fully body to paint, we need a lot of time.
Look way, way up.
We have the cowl piece and the prosthetic piece and palm pieces to apply.
But our model seems very irritated.
She has really dry skin.
While applying the prostate on under her eye, she's twitching and moving her body repeatedly.
It's really stressing Jerry and myself out.
And we're just wondering if we can get this done in time.
I have to go to the bathroom.
I'm in this panic mode, and I'm thinking, oh, my God, are we gonna get done in time? I'm franticly rolling up these spines while she's painting.
And I barely get them done, and I'm like, oh, God, I hope these things stick.
What do you think about this so far? It's all right.
This is not going to be a pretty thing when it gets done.
I think her face looks like blue mud.
I feel like I just made like a Disney character spider or some [Bleep.]
.
Sue and Beki, theirs is-- It's just not looking good.
She spent, you know, two hours pre-painting it, and that's what it looks like.
- No.
- Yeah.
Beki's spent all day in the spray room, and we still have to get the entire body suit on during last looks.
Time's up.
Gotta go.
I honestly believe Beki's sabotaging the project 'cause she has immunity.
Coming up - Please welcome Vivica A.
Fox.
- Wow.
It's one of the best I've ever seen.
It's got rubber barf all over it.
I'm going to be brief.
Shameful.
It's last looks, or the last 60 minutes of doom if I like to put it.
This might be a little painful.
We are so far behind that I don't even have time to breathe in this next 60 minutes.
Are you gonna cover it with leaves? No, we only have three more leaves, so paint it up with as much blue as possible.
I don't think we should do this hard of lines.
What? The one thing I'm worried about is it can't be body paint.
It's beautiful, but less body paint and more real.
Body painting is just a different type of look.
It's a little less realistic, but luckily the spines are gonna make this look good.
His eyes are mean-looking.
You're ready for a spidey mardi gras right now.
Everything looks like it's coming together.
I looks good for how much time we had.
It's a full-- Full-length makeup.
These things are falling out.
Can't get the spines to stick.
Ian, Ian, Ian, come on.
Turn, turn, turn.
Well, guys, that's it.
Time's up! Welcome to the Face Off reveal stage.
Tonight one of you will be eliminated.
Say hello to your judges.
Owner of Optic Nerve makeup effects studio, Glenn Hetrick.
Good evening.
Three-time Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill.
Hi, everybody.
And creature designer and director, Patrick Tatopoulos.
Hi, guys.
And our guest judge this week.
You know her from her blockbuster films Independence Day, Kill Bill Volume One, where she was the beautiful but deadly assassin Vernita Green, AKA Copperhead.
Please welcome Vivica A.
Fox.
Hi, guys.
Vivica A.
Fox is on our stage this week.
Vivica, thank you so much for joining us tonight.
I'm very happy to be here, McKenzie.
And I've had the pleasure of working with Ve on Batman & Robin where I played Ms.
B.
Haven.
Another beautiful but deadly creature.
Absolutely, she was.
All right, guys, this week your spotlight challenge was to work in teams and create a creature that was not only stunningly beautiful but also deadly.
Let's see what you came up with.
Little guy comes out and he sells this thing.
Turns out exactly the way I conceptualized it.
It's beautiful and deadly.
And we're like, "yes.
" I feel like he definitely has a presence.
But I feel like we missed an opportunity to really take advantage of the plant.
Our model is the only one that has painting.
It's a complete look.
Compared to everybody else's, who just decided to do half a body and just put some sheets on the bottom.
I'm really happy about our collaboration because it's a very innovative design and very cool to look at.
Our leopard woman is pretty.
Her character is the only one that might be in a real movie.
The rest of them are Halloween costumes.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look.
Why don't you go ahead and open your arms up so we can look at everything and just keep them open.
Can you move your mouth up a little bit, yeah? Don't put your fingers in there.
- That's right.
- Might miss one.
This is pretty tight.
For the time that they had, that's a lot of detail.
We've had to really cut a lot of corners, so I'm really worried about what the judges are gonna think.
The hair fascinates me more than anything else.
I like the hair.
I was worried that this tail wasn't gonna come out.
- It did.
- It came out good.
It's all stencils and it repeated over and over and over again.
The judges walk up, and it's just no smiles.
The judges walk up, and it's just no smiles.
Oh, God.
I feel awful.
And the paint job, it's not popping.
We shouldn't have chosen a snake.
I get this whole thing that's going on right here.
Open and close your mouth.
Thanks for the cat noise.
It helps.
It does help.
I don't know what to say.
The judges have scored your creations and would like to speak with each of you to learn more about your work.
Athena, Tara, you are up first.
Let's start with who did what.
I sculpted the face.
I did the chest, the shoulders, the legs, and the back.
I think you both know that you're in some trouble - here on this one.
- Yeah.
I've seen you sculpt better.
I've seen you paint better, so I expected more.
The colors are one of the biggest problems.
Very disharmonious.
We had talked about putting pants on him so that we didn't have to cover so much body.
But now he looks like he has underoos on, right? This is comical.
Why in the heck didn't you use silicone? It would have given it that slimy look to him, you know? It's really flat.
It's nothing, you guys.
You totally blew it.
I'm gonna be honest with you, I love the color.
But then when we got up close, especially along the back, you guys could have used a little bit more iridescence to make it look wet.
I wish we'd had more time.
Well, you don't.
It's a challenge.
Yep.
Athena, Tara, please step back.
Heather, Rayce, please step forward.
This is another good design from you, Rayce, and I'm actually very impressed with the mouth.
I think it's one of the best reptilian mouths I've ever seen, because this mouth does not look human at all.
It's stunning.
Thank you.
I wanna compliment you on that rock star hair style right there.
That is very modern.
Yes, rock on, babe.
However, my biggest complaint is gonna be them toga pants.
You coulda figured out some kinda way to spray paint 'em, to do something, instead of them being so bright white.
I know.
Heather, Rayce, will you please step back? Matt and Jerry, you're next.
Tell me a little bit about your concept.
Why did you decide to dress it with floral elements rather than integrating the creature? We didn't want to go mutant.
We thought beautiful, leopard.
It was different from everybody else, and it just felt right.
I see what you've done, but in the front it looks like someone in a bathing suit.
And maybe not introducing white on the face, because it feels a bit more cartoony because of that.
I have to agree with Patrick that you guys missed on using more of the yellow iris.
This thing that's going on around the neck, is this something that you sculpted? It's supposed to be an armor mantelpiece.
I get it, but it seems like that time would have been better spent finding a way to sculpt something that had to do with the plant and the animal, yeah? Jerry, Matt, please step back.
Sue and Beki, you are next.
I'm going to be brief.
Shameful.
I think you both know that.
The safety pylons on his arms and big, giant floaty tubes coming out of his back.
I really don't think that could have won a costume contest at a third grade Halloween party.
It looks like it's got rubber barf all over it.
At the last moment, Sue suggested that we texturize the entire piece.
What, you have a gorgeous model under there.
Where's the beauty in this? I'm so bummed out, 'cause I was really expecting it to be so cool.
Unfortunately, I did take heavy direction from my partner.
That's really [Bleep.]
that you're throwing her under the bus 'cause you have immunity this week.
Well, I disagreed with this, so I have to defend the fact-- That is the least of your worries.
All right, Beki, Sue, step back.
I didn't work this hard to be thrown under the bus and be thrown out this competition unfairly.
That's not right.
I want to win this competition more than ever.
RJ, Ian, please step forward.
Could you guys start by explaining who did what? I sculpted and painted the piece as well.
I did all the preform with the heat gun and the sculpted piece over the forearms.
Overall, I really was not thrilled about anybody's work in this challenge.
That said, I think that this was extremely successful in combining the plant and the animal.
The thing I like about it the most is solid direction.
It came out arms together.
You've got this flower shape that then opens up and reveals your animal's head underneath it.
And it was very simple, but oftentimes things that work best on set are exactly that, just clever and simple.
- Thank you.
- Thanks.
It's very reminiscent of another one of those Batman films I did or poison ivy where she opens up out of the orchid, and I know that's what you were going for.
And you did a great job.
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
The successful aspect of this piece for me is the fact that he doesn't look like a human, and that is key for me.
If I was to play this as a character, I would love to open it up, blow out some dust, hittin' with them tentacles.
Like, all of that was just working for me.
Thank you.
Ian, RJ, you can step back.
All right, the judges have heard what you had to say.
Please head back to the makeup room while they make their decisions.
Well, that was interesting.
Talk about being dangerous and beautiful.
I'm filled right now with revenge.
Thanks for throwing me under the bus there.
I don't think I threw you under the bus.
I think you gave me such heavy direction, and I followed your direction.
Okay, so let's talk about all of tonight's looks.
Why don't we start with some of the better ones.
I did like RJ and Ian's.
That is absolutely this week, for me, the only one that if developed further would have succeeded as a character.
What I really like is when you saw that piece unfolding there was not much of a human left.
That was cool to me.
I also thought that Heather and Rayce, I thought they did a really good job with the rock star hairdo that they did on top.
Yeah.
Okay, so let's move on to some of the ones that weren't quite so successful tonight.
Why don't we start with Tara and Athena.
I don't know, she's had a lot of chances to show us her body painting, and there's always been an excuse why it hasn't come off the way she wanted it.
I don't get it.
They failed miserably.
I mean, I don't know how they couldn't look around and see how much any of the other teams, they all at least did more.
All right, let's move on to Sue and Beki.
Your thoughts there? That's a team that didn't seem to work well together, that's for sure.
She looked like a mean old walrus.
I really can't understand how anyone who wants to be in this business could have looked at that and not done something.
Both teams were directionless.
All right, judges, have you made your decisions? Yeah.
Let's bring 'em back out.
All right, Glenn, who is the winner of this challenge? The top team tonight is All right, Glenn, why don't you tell us which team came out on top.
The top team tonight is RJ and Ian.
For successful integration of the plant and animal concept, which was the point to our challenge.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Great job, guys.
But we can only have one winner.
So, Glenn, who's that? Our winner tonight is RJ.
For providing the driving concept and also the successful fabrication of all the plant elements.
Winning this validates my entire life.
And I just keep thinking about my dad.
I know he's here for me.
And this feels amazing.
- Congratulations, RJ.
- Thank you.
You and Ian can now head back to the makeup room.
Heather, Rayce, Jerry, and Matt, you guys are also safe.
Please head back to the makeup room.
Thank you.
So that means the rest of you were on the bottom this week, and one of you will be eliminated.
Beki, you have immunity.
Please head back to the makeup room.
The rest of you, please step forward.
Sue, the decision making with your creation was just crippling.
And, Athena, Tara, quite simply, there's a profound lack of quality in the work that you put out this week.
All right, so who's going home tonight? The person that's going home tonight is Athena.
This was your third opportunity to show off your skills as a body painter, which we do believe that you have, but we're just not seeing it and we can't go any further.
Athena, I'm sorry that you've been eliminated.
If you would please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
- We wish you the best.
- Thank you.
- No! No way! - Yep.
I am definitely proud of myself, 'cause I have not been doing special effect makeup for a long time.
And I'm a little bummed that I didn't get a chance to really show off my full potential, but every rejection makes me stronger.
- Hey, guys.
- What are you doing here? - We are not quite done yet.
- No.
- Ooh.
- What? Oh, hell, what's going on? I think somebody else is going home tonight.
Come on with me.
