The show starts with Todd who is on the hunt for the most rare specimen in a sideshow, a two-headed baby. In order to find one, he must travel to see Bobby Reynolds, also known as The King of the Sideshow, the owner of a two-headed baby boy preserved in a jar. Todd claims to have the largest collection of two-headed animals in history, but this one particular object has eluded him. He sees this as a representation of a transition from an older era […]

Tonight we have the Challenger, Mike “Mac” McCullough, going up against the Immortalizer, Takeshi Yamada. McCullough, from Ft. Louden, Pennsylvania, has been in taxidermy for 32 years and he calls his work art. He started more traditional, but over time has become more artistic. He’s completed around 5,000 pieces during his career. Yamada, from Osaka, Japan, is a former rogue taxidermy grand champion with a fear-inducing battle cry of, “Shazam!” He resembles a carnival barker with his suit and hat, and his unique accessory. He […]

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 really cool challenge: each team of two contestants has to make like 20 people into zombies in two and a half hours. I am very happy to see Face Off […]

Picking up where episode five left off, “The Fall” starts off with an unhinged Paul holding a gun to Hardy’s head just as he had found Joey. Jacob and Emma bust in and are obviously losing their cool as they try to formulate a plan to leave. Hardy calmly tells them that the police, FBI, and other enforcement are all outside and that they will not make it out alive. Meanwhile, Charlie Mead takes Claire to a large building where she hopes to see her […]

On Walking Dead, the Prison vs. Woodbury war simmers while Andrea attempts to arrange a peace treaty. Everyone chooses sides, and Beth sings a Tom Waits song. This was a pretty slow and terrible episode. Everyone talked at each other a lot. A ton of a lot. Then some people walked around a lot so they could go talk to other people. Even when Andrea gets a car, she drives around very slowly and sensibly and doesn’t even run over any zombies. So the plot […]

It’s sword swallower’s day on Freakshow’s second episode, “Swords a Plenty”, and Todd’s daughter, Asia, is going to give it a shot. It turns out that sword swallowing goes back thousands of years ago, according to Todd. For the special occasion, Murrugun has a rocket powered sword he’s going to swallow that he has to use very carefully, biting down on the blade before it is propelled too far and pierces his stomach. Brianna is planning on swallowing three swords. Dan Meyer, the head of […]

This week on “Immortalized”, host Zach Selwyn introduces the Challenger, CJ Fegan, a multiple award winning and second generation taxidermist from Maryland that wants to prove he is the best, and the Immortalizer, Page Nethercutt, also a second generation and award winning taxidermist, from North Carolina, is a former taxidermist of the year who is familiar with Fegan through his taxidermist father. Nethercutt has judged Fegan’s father and vice versa, allowing for a little extra competition and raised stakes between the two guys. This week’s […]

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 that Jenna’s gone?” someone asks expectantly. “I wonder who will be eliminated this week?” someone ponders ponderously. There’s no field trip this week, and the special guest judge for the […]

A cheeky beginning to tonight’s episode titled, “The Siege,” has Paul, Emma and Jacob sharing a bed after their shower scene in the last episode. Paul and Emma have really hit it off now, but Jacob isn’t handling the previous night’s situation so well. In the meantime, Joey sneaks the phone and calls his mom. Claire is elated to hear from him and begins asking him many questions, gaining an insight to his whereabouts. In a spooky moment, Joey admits to being scared of Paul, […]

On Lost Girl, we learn where the real Kenzi is, Bo and Tamsin make out, and a lot of feelings get hurt. The action begins immediately where last week ended, with Bo accusing Kenzi of not being the real Kenzi and everyone else acting like Bo is crazy. They lock Bo up, worried that she’s being affected by the darkness within her and possibly even killing when she feeds. Bo is weak, partly because she hasn’t fed lately, partly because some kind of weird disease […]
