Face Off Recap: Monster Twist


Laura and Roy are the top looks with Laura taking the win in shock. It takes her a bit to realize that she really is the winner and then she gets some great news. As the winner, a donation will be made in honor for art supplies to City Hearts. Glenn tells Rod that there is a love/hate relationship with his decisions, Alana’s paint job was detrimental to the entire design while Derek had a good idea but the lack of texture worked against him. I keep waiting for Glenn to drop the bomb on Alana but it’s Roy who gets blown out of the water. He says his thank yous while Derek and Alana tear up and cry. Ve tells Rod that she loved all his characters and that he needs to take care of his arm. I’m going to miss Rod but mostly because he was such a likeable guy. Let’s face it, his work wasn’t that great and it got really repetitive towards the end. Next week is the Dr. Seuss challenge with Brian Grazer as guest judge. Are we surprised that Alana and Sarah are still sticking around or were they lucky every week someone was a little bit worse than they were? How come Alana hasn’t gotten called out on her cone head designs yet? Are you excited that Nicole is back or should someone else have come back instead? Who are you going to vote for as the winner at this point?

Next week it’s double duty on Tuesdays with Ink Master coming back!

    like Roy said, it’s not fair to the others that Nicole gets a bye to the final 5 or 6 when she hasn’t competed in the last 2 or 3 challenges since she left. I am never a fan of letting eliminated contestants come back.

    It’s about time Rod went home. Every one of his creations looked the same.

    I, too, am not a fan of letting auf’d contestants come back but if it had to be, I’m glad it was Nicole.

    Sad to see Rod go but he did seem to be a bit of a one-trick pony (or one trick monkey if you’re named Dmitry). He definitely had the technical skills and was a genuinely nice guy but the creative spark was weak in him. I have not been a fan of either Eric or Derek – their work can be sloppy and their color choices are off. I think Laura is the real ‘sleeper’ here and I’m so glad she finally won. Her ideas are great, she’s got the technical skills and she handles color really well. Hopefully, she takes it all.

    Oy. *hangs head in shame* That would be a one WAY monkey. Wondering if I’ll be kicked out of the Dmitry fan club now.

    good point about the kids not being there for the reveal! I hadn’t even noticed that…hopefully they showed it off-camera.

    Although I love Ncole and I am happy she’s back (hell, I dont think she should have been out in the first place), I dont think she should have had the opportunity to come back. Like Josh with “Master Chef”. BUT now that I think of it, they probably did that because of the mess that crazy dude Jason (?) left behind when he took off the first day. They were short one person.

    I thought Laura’s monster was bad-ass, everytime it was on screen I cracked up!!! Good win for her. I am bummed to see Rod go….he was a great dude, unfortunatley all his creations did look alike. But they weren’t BAD, they were really really good actually.
    So basically the Judges are picking Alana’s ” always different yet shitty” creations over Rod’s “same old thing, yet always great” creations? Ehhhh……

    You know I have to wonder if Roy would have said the same thing about contestants coming back if it was him in that situation and not Nicole.

    @annie- actually they weren’t short a person when Joe (?) left. They ended up not eliminating anyone else, so he would count as the eliminated contestant. I don’t agree with bringing back eliminated contestants, just my opinion for what it’s worth. I don’t think it’s fair to the ones already there.

    Someday that model will be mine. It’s criminal what they do to his face. And by that I mean they keep covering it up. That hotness is the reason it takes me an hour and a half to watch an episode. I need at least 30 minutes to stare…..

    Anyway! I’m glad Nicole is back and as much as I loved Rod, the guy had to go. Now we just need to get rid of Sarah and Alana.

    @timgunnssister: you’re not kicked out of the fan club but Dimitry is probs very dissappointed.

    I agree with it not being fair, but I also agree, I’m glad Nicole is back.

    Roy is really super talented and fast, I think it may be him and Laura in the final.

    I thought this was a pretty hard challenge . . . and in a lot of ways, not good at all. Love the program for the arts and their support, but kids pictures of monsters is so random.

    @SG, I too noticed Mac’s lack of a great look this time.

    @Annie, it is Joe, Feather head had it right.

    I have to agree that Rod was REALLY repetitive – but as he pointed out this week, it seems unfair to hold the big head against him this week, BECAUSE it’s what his client wanted! Wasn’t that part of the point of the challenge? To do what the client wanted?

    And wtf with not having the kids there? Their opinion should have counted for something, because they helped design them from their drawings.

    I’m a huge fan of Roy, so i’m just glad he’s still there. :-)
