Everyone’s creations walk across the stage and I’m not really impressed with any of them to be honest. The one that looks the closest to Grimm would probably be Derek’s character. Derek’s character is liked by Glenn for his interesting color choices and that he didn’t overwork one single element to the detriment of the others for once. Ve also thought it was successful but wasn’t happy that the back wasn’t as detailed as the front while Neville calls him out on the weird claw on the boot. Everyone agreed that Laura’s character was a weird choice but ended up working very well. Richard liked the details that normally shouldn’t work together but do. Glenn said that he would have fought against doing it if he had been hired to do it and that it blew his mind. Roy’s creature is called out for the hair and his finishing decisions which crippled the overall look. Neville does compliment his sculpting and Glenn did like pieces of it. Nicole’s character is very well received by Richard while Glenn is distracted by the terrible costuming. Seriously what was with those shoes? Ve liked that she paid attention to the gray fur at the crime scene and incorporated it into her creature.


Nicole


Laura


Derek


Roy

The winner of the challenge and the first person heading into the finale is Laura! The judges were impressed with her huge risks and she feels validated. The next person is Derek who the judges have felt has evolved throughout the competition. So it is down to Nicole and Roy and we all are thinking that Roy has it in the bag, right? Nah, Nicole is in and Joe Castro’s theory strikes again! I’m actually kind of sad to see Roy go because I felt like he was such a seasoned veteran who should have had this in the bag. I do like Nicole though and Laura I banked on from the beginning. Derek was a wild card for me and I never saw him as finale material.

Did the right three go through to the finale? Seems like some of you are pissed that Nicole was let back into the competition. I know I can’t be the only person who was slightly confused with the way the ending is going to play out so let me try to dumb it down. Next Tuesday the final episode is going to air like normal and then I assume we have 24 hours to cast our votes for the live finale/reunion type show that will air on Wednesday aka Halloween. Are you pretty set on who you will be voting for or do you need to see next week’s creations to decide? What would you like the finale challenge to be?

    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???
