Is It Too Horrible?

Last time on “FaceOff”: McKenzie took the remaining 13 contestants on a field trip to the aquarium. Sadly, Ms. Frizzle and the Magic School Bus was not involved. The contestants were paired up with Brea (as the previous week’s winner) allowed to chose her team. They had to turn a model into a fish that was waterproof. Beki butted heads with her partner Miranda but they were ultimately safe. Rayce wins for the week while Nix and his ringmaster mustache are sent home. Twelve contestants remain, who gets sent home tonight? Find out!

We open at the house. Brea asks others who should’ve gone home. Matt thinks it should’ve been Jerry. He calls him a virus who saps people’s creativity. Sue thinks he’s a control freak.

Under Da Sea, Under Da Sea!

Last time on “FaceOff”: Fourteen contestants competed to be the next big thing in SXF makeup. McKenzie Westmore came back and brought Glenn, Patrick and Ve with her! Conor even stopped by to help judge the foundation challenge. Jerry won, granting him immunity. For the spotlight challenge, the contestants were divided between men vs. women and then split into teams. They had to reimagine characters from the classic movie “The Wizard of Oz.” Some lackluster Tin Men followed and a few scarecrows that didn’t appear in my nightmares as thankfully, my dream catcher worked. Brea was determined the winner for her work on the Wicked Witch while Nix and Greg fell in the bottom two. In the end, Greg was sent home. Thirteen contestants remain, who will pack up tonight? Find out!

LA! We start off in the house as Nix and Beki talk. Nix feels bad over Greg’s dismissal and is still upset about Jerry’s behavior. Beki feels angry that she allowed Brea to take credit and thus win last week.

We’re Off to See the…WHAT THE HELL?

Face Off returns!

Sheridan Crane welcomes us back to Season 2, saying the casting brought several wannabe contestants. And they’ve gotten bigger guest judges. But we still have Ve Neill (Pirates of the Caribbean), Patrick Tatopolous (Rise of the Lycans), and Glenn Hetrick (Lady Gaga). The contestants will get makeup, a car and $100,000.

Marshall’s Ultimate New Year’s Cemetery Tailgating Party

Happy New Year, everyone! Let’s start off 2012 right with a new “How I Met Your Mother.”

In our framing device, Marshall travels to Minnesota to watch the Vikings-Bears game at his dad’s grave. He even brought the grill, the cooler and the TV to do so. He tells his dad about New Year’s Eve in NYC.

Nostalgia Nook—Kids, Incorporated

When I was little, I used to watch the Disney Channel. Aw, heck, I still do. Some of the shows that used to air on old-school Disney included the New Mickey Mouse Club, which launched the careers of some luminaries such as Keri Russell, Ryan Gosling, JC Chavez, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Shown with the Mickey Mouse Club was a show called “Kids, Incorporated.”

Yes, “Kids, Incorporated.” The show that launched the careers of Mario Lopez, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Stacey Ferguson AKA Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas.

So, sit back and let’s sing our way down Nostalgia Lane.
