The Face Off season finale is an acrobatic, aquatic affair that brings out the best in the final three contestants. There’s no nonsense in setting up the challenge – each finalist has to create a pair of creatures for Le Rêve – The Dream, a pretentiously titled Vegas show. It’s basically a slightly damp version [...]
The final cut for the Face Off finale tasks the remaining four contestants with the creation of a hybrid alien based on species from SyFy’s upcoming space opera/western Defiance. Before we jump into tonight’s recap, congrats to Face Off on the announcement of their fifth season, which SyFy announced this week. I’ll discuss the prospects [...]
Face Off gives us a very cool Evil Dead themed challenge, all five remaining contestants do killer mummy designs, and then I lose all faith in the judges completely and forever. At the increasingly empty house, we find that Meagan left everyone notes scrawled on mirrors as a parting gift. That’s such a perfect combination [...]
It’s lights out on Face Off, and two contestants are eliminated. Plus, food poisoning! Last week I made fun of the weekly, “I’m so sad that {person who was eliminated last week} is gone,” that starts off every episode. When Autumn was eliminated, I kind of wondered if it would hold true this week. It [...]
There are only two words you need to know about this week’s Face Off: interplanetary werewolves. Back at the house, everyone is doing the, “It’s so sad around here without Alam.” They say this every single week, no matter who’s been eliminated. We meet at a farm house for an immunity challenge. This is a [...]
A bug-themed challenge gives everyone the creeps, something “which has never before occurred” occurs, and the judges seriously blow it for the first time this season on this week’s Face Off. Things begin with the fakest of fake reality show conversations as some people relax back at the apartment. “What will things be like now [...]
On Face Off, the contestants create multi-headed giants out of foam and paint to promote a movie that’s so packed with CGI it looks like a cartoon. Everyone heads off to the Magic Mountain theme park (promotion!) where they run around, have fun, then run into McKenzie near a giant fake redwood tree. Bryan Singer [...]
Anthony attempts to keep his unprecedented winning streak alive on a candy-themed Face Off. Almost being eliminated last week still didn’t seem to reduce Autumn’s arrogance in any way, as she starts this week’s episode remarking that the judges must just have higher expectations of her. Yes, that’s it. There’s a foundation challenge this week [...]
Face Off presents us with a tried and true horror challenge – design a demon. Then, like meddling studio executives, they throw a curveball at the contestants after they’ve already begun their designs. Hell has frozen over. Last season, Face Off liked to do this foreshadowing thing where they’d start off an episode with a [...]
Face Off tries to create superheroes again, this time meeting up with some actual comic book artists at San Diego Comic Con to give the contestants a creative nudge. Last season, the superhero episode used cars as inspiration. This time, the contestants have no real directives, but they meet with DC Comics publishers Dan Didio [...]
