   A whole lot of Creature from the Black Lagoon ripoffs and terible misuse of UV paint. I would have sent all three of those in the bottom home, and threatened those that were left.

   Can anyone on this show do something other than horror? Or mock-horror, as the case may be?

   Also, “I ran out of time” is not a valid excuse this late in the game. By now they know the time limits. WORK WITHIN THEM OR GO HOME.

   All of the ‘creatures’ except Anthony’s were just awful. There is just something about a majority of these final products all this season that make them look dirty. I don’t know if it is the finish of the molding product or the paint they are using, but they look like they are on their fifth and final year of being a Halloween costume and will be thrown out after this one last party.

   It’s too bad someone already did a firefly/lightning bug, because a riff of that would have been awesome for this challenge.

   I now fully understand why Davey Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean) was 100% digital. Also, maybe that is the reason all of these finished products this season seem really bad. Even Avatar was 100% digital and those were very human-ish creatures.

   IMO, House should have been sent packing! His creation was a horrible Creature rip-off painted blue. I agree that this season seems thrown together. I keep feeling that any of this seasons competitors would be blown away by the cast from season one. Aside from Anthony, the designs all look sooo sloppy and Halloween costume-y… just messy and usually falling apart when the judges take their closer looks. I really do enjoy the show, but I hope that next season, the producers take a little time to find the most skilled competitors rather than the first 16 that apply.

   Gotta agree, Megan’s time was up. How did she expect the judges to “get it” when it didn’t sound like she really got it herself? Did she ever really have a concept?

   Glad Anthony got his mojo back! His was the most impressive to me. The UV paint actually looked like something.

   Oh, EricF, why do you keep doing this to yourself? I still think there’s a lot of talent there but… Bless his heart. He just can’t seem to stop himself! I did like how chirpy he was when Ve complemented the legs of his creature – cracked me up!

   So… Has anyone else noticed that House seems to create creatures that kinda look like him? The mouth on this weeks creature looked just like his mouth to me. I’ve noticed it before but maybe it’s just me?

   As usual, great recap. Mac avoiding the edge of the cliff slipped right by me! Nice catch.

   So glad Meagan’s gone. I was exhausting myself picking up all the G’s the girl dropped. Really, what a bizarre and annoying speech pattern.

   Anthony and Eric are the 2 in the top for me although Kris and Wayne aren’t bad either. I really liked Waynes sculpt on his crab man. But I wish most hadn’t stuck to sea creatures.

   @Kristen R., I agree, I thought House was toast, but I should have known that Eric was getting the loser edit, as I actually started to like him.

   I’m usually so pro-woman on these shows, but it really was Meagan’s time to go.

   @timgunnsister, I agree with your top two, and also rans . . . we’re almost there.

   Just wanted to let you know your recaps got me watching this show. I had honestly never heard of it before and I checked out the recap and was intrigued. I love the monster make up stuff. I am several epis behind though because they don’t put them up till way late on the website. I just watched the candy one.

   Anthony has won like every challenge of the ones I have watched. I think it is in the bag that he will win it.
