Day 1 starts with model selections and Nicole making a last minute switch to a female character in order to stand out and make a more unique werewolf. Apparently they only have 6 hours on Day 1 so everyone gets working on trying to create their molds. Roy, Roy, Roy. This man’s experience shines in every competition because of all his little tricks like taking fishnet pantyhose to create scales on his face mold. Laura is having a rough time and isn’t able to get out of her head. She doubts her sculpt and design and gets a little homesick. Day 2 starts and after some rest, Laura is ready to start the day and is happy with the work she made the day before. She admits that when you have the wrong frame of mind everything will be wrong.

Roy starts working on his body sculpt but is unsure of how to design it while Derek works on his cowl making holes to insert feathers later on. Mac walks in with a Barney Merman who is the make-up designer for Grimm. Is there really one of those because I’m pretty sure all the monster on that show are CGI. They start with Derek who explains his concept and then the trouble he is having deciding on the mouth. Barney suggests he should make the mouth larger or he will need to do a big paint job to compensate. Roy discusses using silicon and foam to create movement while Laura discusses her paint job. Both are well received by Barney. Barney leaves and Laura starts working on some spider webs but she is unsure of how to create them. Roy shows her a neat trick of blowing glue over an air compressor which she freaks out over. The day ends with Nicole and Roy discussing the finale and how it could be anyone’s game at this point.

Day 3 begins and Roy says the pressure of 4 hours makes it seem like they only have 4 minutes to finish everything. Nicole, for some reason, picked the big chested model that Sarah had last week and of course her chest piece doesn’t fit right. Roy is also having chest problems which he plans to fix with costuming while Laura didn’t do much sculpt-wise so she has to nail her paint job. Derek figures out how difficult it is to do all his feathers so he ends up having to glue them and fan them out. Roy for some reason decides to do a really ugly red wig on his model which he ends up pushing through holes in the ear sculpt. His character is starting to look like the snake version of Monroe’s previous girlfriend (Grimm reference). Derek wants to include his talon but has steel toe boots so he ends up gluing the claw on the boot even though it looks less than stellar. This week’s guest judge is Grimm producer Richard Hatem.

    I was so sad that Roy didn’t make it to the final three! His wig was horrible and the fangs not positioned in the mouth did him in. I guess now I’m routing for Nicole to take it all. I loved the crime scenes (big Grimm fan myself).

    Roy was off his game. That leather outfit was so Village People.

    Roy may have been off his game, but he has been the most consistent performer, IMHO. I really wanted him to be in the final. I like Laura a lot as well. Derek has had great weeks and poor weeks and I could have seen him being eliminated. I have mixed feelings about Nicole. I thought she went home too soon, but I am not happy that she made the final three after basically getting a break.

    Derek has been way too inconsistent for me – I thought he should have been out and Roy been in. And I’m rooting for Laura.

    Some species of snakes give live birth, but most do lay eggs. Seems like the typical pet-snakes, like cornsnakes an boas, don’t lay eggs though.

    Roy should definitely not have gone home. Like mentioned above, Derek has had his ups and downs while Roy has been in the top two basically every week. Plus Nicole has been good, but not great, and missed several challenges while on “vacation”. If anyone but Laura wins the finale with these three in it, I’m going to be a bit p*ssed.

    Roy should have gone thru to the finals he was the most consistent. This episode is the only time he was in the bottom. Eric has been in the bottom numerous of times he seems to do only men makup he is not verstile. I am rooting for Laura she has been the best of whos left.

    I will be voting for Laura regardless for a few reasons.

    Besides Roy, Laura has;
    1: Never been on the bottom.
    2: Her work has been consistent.
    3: Oh right, Laura never got kicked, went home and practiced for about 2 weeks while everyone else stayed at the coal mines… Unlike *cough* Nicole.

    Just to name a few. ;-)

    On a side note – I like Derek, he does OK work and he does deserve to be part of the final 3… But, he has not been as consistent as Laura by a long shot.

    Laura and Roy have been my favorites since the beginning with Derek in 3rd. Nicole I never liked (other than her fab hair). At first I thought, oh they are playing with us and all 4 are going thru. Yes Roy’s wig was an unfortunate decisson but it was still way better than Nicole’s ears that were glued to her wig. I love that Roy was such a gentleman always offering his help and expert tricks. I know they are letting fans vote for winner but is there going to be a fan favorite? Roy would win in a landslide.

    I agree with prairie. If not for Roy AND Rod, a number of contestants final makeups would not have been as good as they were. Unfortunately, this makes the case for why contestants on these reality competition shows should not help their castmates. While I was not surprised at Rod going home (he made his own face over and over and over…….) Roy should still be there. And if there is a fan favorite, he gets my vote.

    I am SO angry that Roy didn’t make it through! Like Prairie and Timgunnssister, my household was asking how many contestants wouldn’t have made it if not for Roy. Grrrr.

    My jaw literally dropped when I heard Nicole was in the finale. Yes, she got better, but Roy did MORE than her and for the most part was more consistent. He was robbed.
    Laura for the win!

    My theory is they want Laura to win, so they put her against inconsistant Derek, and “back in” Nicole. Laura deserves it, I have liked her and her work, but I too cry for Roy . . . and I blame Glenn!!!

    I do think Grimm is mainly CGI, but there are fight scenes sometimes where they make up the stunt person to resemble the CGI. You can tell if you look close . . . I find the FX just ok on Grimm . . . you all should check out the recaps for it . . . so dry, so funny, so snarky!!! Go Madelyne27 !!!

    So disappointed at the loss of Roy! He did great work, challenged himself, and was really nice about helping his fellow contestants (his advice to Laura about webbing this week being just one example). His creature this week was a little disappointing the in the hair and fangs, but the makeup was great. I would’ve picked him over Derek judging on overall work and him over Nicole for this week: werewolves are very done, even if the crime scene clues pointed that way, her ears weren’t even glued down, and the costuming didn’t make sense.

    That said, Roy did get a lot of exposure, which hopefully will help him in his career.

    I am sure like Jennifer Hudson on Idol ROY will be the breakout star and go further in his career…Nicole was allowed to cheat her way thru and everyone else was always asking Roy for his opinion or help…GO ROY! Wish I could have seen your creation i the finale…how about an allstars version of Face/Off???
