It’s the last episode gasmii! Nicole, Derek and Laura have all made it to the finale and they comment on how odd it is to be in the empty-ish house. Everyone gets some time to skype with loved ones and holy cow Nicole looks exactly like her sister. Is it really fair that she gets to skype and reconnect with her family that she saw a few weeks ago? The artists walk into lab and find Mackenzie in the middle of a cornfield with gargoyles and other goodies. The finale consists of the artists creating two original characters inspired by Halloween. One has to be a demon that is determined to cause chaos while the other is a good witch sent to banish the demon away and both have to be based on an element. Laura selects Earth, Nicole selects Water and Derek chooses Fire.

Sigh. Can we PLEASE stop bringing past contestants back? These assholes keep showing up randomly and it’s like at least stop bringing back CC cause no one cares about her. I’m pretty sure some people are like whose the badly dressed black girl that keeps popping up? Nicole selects Roy and Sarah (dummy), Derek picks Jason and Eric (duh) and Laura gets Rod and Tommy (stupid). You know what though, I would rather get Tommy than Alana or CC. Speaking of, I laughed so hard when Alana wasn’t selected and she still fed that fake “good luck, love youse guys” bullshit line to the artists. The challenge starts immediately so everyone starts sketching out ideas and designs for both characters.

Nicole’s characters consist of a demon that has fish elements but also other animal characteristics because she feels that is what a demon is. The head piece for her witch will be elaborate but the face applications will be minimal because she wants her witch to be soft and pretty. Laura’s demon is anti-nature and wants to pollute the world while her witch is based off cherry blossom or birch white oak trees. Derek’s witch will feature molten rock that cracks on her face while the demon has been banished underground and held with molten rock chains. Rod starts to work on different aspects but he questions everything with Laura which makes her sort of lose focus. Day 2 begins and they all walk into the lab where a Prius V sits waiting for them. I guess it’s incentive for them to work harder for the car. Can I just go ahead and rant about how much I fucking HATE the Prius?

Nicole is ready to cry because she doesn’t know what she did to piss off Roy who interviews that he should be winning the money for himself. Wow, I know you were robbed and all but don’t be a dick to someone that doesn’t deserve it. Michael Westmore is in the building and he goes around giving advice to all the contestants. He tells Nicole to gradually get darker with her colors and to start light because if it gets too dark you can’t go back. Derek is told to use more colors to stand out while Laura is told to pre-paint as much as he can to get prepared. Michael is worried about the cracks in the head disappearing for Derek and that Laura’s idea to incorporate branches and vines might not provide enough texture. So before we count out Roy as being an asshole he explains that he isn’t mad with Nicole but looking at her reminds him that she was chosen over him. I get that and he understands that he needs to be professional so he tries to make amends by making her a badass staff since everyone else has one. Nicole falls in love with it and I’m just glad that Roy isn’t an undercover asshole. LOL at Laura making those cobwebs in the background.

    I have to say (especially cause I live in Sacramento, CA) I’m glad Nicole won. Everyone only sees California as Los Angeles and southern California and I’m glad Nicole proved us in Norther Cali have talent! I called her win from episode one (probably only cause she was from my city) but dammit I’m glad she won! She gave the best finale looks and that’s all America cares about!

    Hopefully the better Presidential candidate follows suit and gives the best finale performance! (Go Jill Stein!)

    Laura’s demon wants too pollute the world? Was her story written by a fourth grade class studying the environment? I guess it’s appropriate when you’re trying to win a Prius.

    You had the same reaction to Derek’s witch that I did: it looked too much like Darth Maul.

    No problem with Nicole winning.

    Please…don’t drag politics into this. If I see or hear one more lying political ad, I will have to accidentally break something.

    I was rooting for Laura. In terms of consistency of applications, color choices and beautiful sculpts, she was the hands-down winner – even Glenn said she was possibly the best makeup artist they’d ever had on the show. And she lost?

    Yes, she tripped in the finale, but her body of work should have made her a winner. Nicole did not trip in the finale but, unlike Laura, who was not only never in the bottom, had NEVER BEEN SENT HOME, Nicole had some sorry makeups this season. Enough to send her home.

    Laura got robbed. And yes, Derek reads too many comic books and has seen Star Wars way too many times. He’s good, but not as good as either of the ladies.

    Here’s hoping Laura makes that solo career she has been wanting (as oppossed to working at *cough* Univeral Disney SeaWorld) ‘theme’ parks.

    Laura’s idea for a toxic demon was a little too “Captain America” for me. It made me sad, because I was rooting for her ALL SEASON. But Nicole’s honestly was the best so I did have to vote for her.

    Also: Bootleg Britney Spears LMAO!

    Yay! I wanted Nicole to win since the very beginning. But I thought everyone did really well!
    And lo fucking l at no one wanting to use Alana and CC. I probably laughed for like, 5 mins cuz of that.
    Also I never had a problem with Nicole coming back, despite my bias, it happens in competition shows a lot and if you’re good enough at what you do, it should only drive you to work harder to win. Would people have reacted the same way if CC came back? No.

    I’m ok with Nicole winning. If people didn’t think it was fair she came back, she wouldn’t have won.

    I can see that Roy would have some hurt feelings coming back so soon after having his chances ripped from him. He should have been mad at Derek tho, JMHO . . .

    My friend distracted me the whole episode, I wanna go back and watch the bitch fight with Glenn . . . hee

    Thanks SG!!!! xoxoxo

    Hmmm, I voted for Laura, but still happy Nicole won. I don’t think she should have ever been voted out for that Alice in Wonderland costume in the first place.
    Good for her :P

    Might I add, Mackenzie Westmore is the nicest, prettiest host in all of reality TV compettion. Seriously, I am developing a crush on her :) haha

    I thought other than the usual filler and repetitious flashbacks, last night’s finale was good. I laughed my ass off at all the backstage jokes, Glenn vocab montages, and Ve’s comments. I can’t belive the next season is a mere 2 months away!

    I’m am so happy happy happy that Nicole won, and am very proud of her. She should have never gone home to begin with, so the fact that she got to not only come back but also ended up winning the whole shebang is so awesome.
    Plus, she earned it fair and square. Her finale stuff was definitely the best. And as you mentioned, her witch was doing most of the work. Derek’s helped a little at the end, but Laura’s was a lazy betch, didn’t help at all.
    The only thing is I wonder if it’s gonna be awkward for her to be lecturing at MUFE when she’s a MAC betch.

    I lolled mad hard when Tommy broke the staff and when Alana was left standing there when the teams were being picked. CC is just a non-entity…I’m sure the producers realized that Alana wouldn’t be chosen, so they asked CC to come to spare Alana from having to stand up there by herself. She is the human equivalent of a cardboard cutout.

    Ian got chubby. When I saw him in the audience, I was like who is that…holy shit that’s Ian.

    They need to bring Michael Westmore every week. Let him be Face Off’s Tim Gunn, because he was actually giving some good advice up there. Some visitors don’t really give very good feedback to the artists, but then they’ll talk mad shit with Mack in the corner. Glen.
    Plus he’s so adorable and I think it’s cute that he’s Mack’s dad.

    Patrick is such a sexy beast…totally wanted to reach into my screen and rip his suit off at the finale.
    I hope he is there for the whole time next season, because this one was not the same without his delicious presence.

    I think it’s weird that Nicole went home in the first place, and weird that she improved so much. She didn’t seem much better than Alanna at first. I don’t know. I thought this season was great until Rod went home. Not that I didn’t agree with that, but it seemed that around that time the judges’ comments got really edited, sometimes to the point that they made no sense, and I didn’t get over Roy going home, even though I wanted Laura to win. I think they were determined to have a girl win it; they probably thought it would be Laura. But that was not fair to Roy.
