Face Off: Werewolves of (Insert Planet Here)

Last time on “Face Off:” The contestants had to do a challenge re-imagining famous fairy tale heroines as bad girls. Which meant monsters! Then they had to design bugs! Kris and Wayne rose to the top but a technicality gave the win to Kris. Wunderkind Anthony ended up with Meagan and Alam the bottom two. He was spared as Alam was sent home. Eight contestants remain, who will be eliminated tonight? Find out!

Face Off!


LA! Everyone misses Alam over breakfast. Anthony says he and Meagan are nervous after being in the bottom while Meagan knows she can’t put forth any more bad work.

McKenzie greets them outside a barn. It’s time for the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE! Remember to double tap, people. Autumn is excited as McKenzie introduces Gale Ann Hurd, a make up artist and producer of “The Walking Dead.” She tells them to think about how their zombie died to help create a make up. The nearby zombie walk come out to swarm the contestants, sans makeup. McKenzie talks about having to make up the extras. Working in teams of two:

Eric F and Wayne
Meagan and Anthony
House and Eric Z
Kris and Autumn

They have to makeup all the zombies using whatever’s in the house. She sets them off. House is apparently a zombie master. Kris thinks Autumn is taking too long with her makeup. Eric Z announces one hour left. Meagan starts an assembly as Eric F. declares twenty minutes. Autumn is out of sponges and she’s complaining. He tells her to use her hands. There’s a cup of blood going around in the last five minutes…And TIME!

Gale praises House and Eric Z for their attention to detail. She tells Kris and Meagan the back of the extras matter. Gale likes the uniformity of Eric F and Wayne’s team as does Meagan and Anthony. She likes they did something on the back.

Gale picks out House and Eriz as well as Meagan and Anthony. And the winning team is…

After the COMMERCIALS!

Anthony and Meagan win the challenge! She likes their attention to detail. And the winner is Meagan. She has immunity and Gale says she can start working on “The Walking Dead.” The zombie horde chases the contestants away.

To an empty field at night. McKenzie talks about the full moon which leads to werewolves. She points out other planets have moons. So working in teams, they have to create an alien werewolf. The teams are:

House and Meagan (Mars)
Eric Z. and Autumn (Jupiter)
Eric F. and Anthony (Saturn)
Wayne and Kris (Neptune)

McKenzie leaves them to work on their designs as they crank up the fog machine. Anthony says they will work the surface of Saturn into their design. House and Meagan is an astronaut who gets bitten while Autumn wants to do their werewolf in mid-transformation. Kris and Wayne work easily together.

Day One! Everyone starts sculpting. Eric F. says he and Anthony have a game plan. Eric Z takes over sculpting the face when he sees a repeat of the Gummy Bear Cat. Autumn is pissed off. You should thank him!

Michael shows up to guide the contestants. It goes by quick. Michael notes the face is not very far for Team Jupiter. Autumn notes that Eric Z resculpted it. Team Saturn thinks that was bad while Eric Z goes to take a breather outside. Autumn says he’s given up on her.

COMMERCIALS!

Eric Z comes back in and talks to Meagan about the sculpt. She says Autumn will throw him under the bus. For the project’s safe, he remains silent. He needs to get tips from Anthony.

Day 2! They move on to the molding phase. Eric Z. decides to just work, maybe with Autumn. Eric F. howls at the stage light? House notes Meagan’s hair work is taking too long and she notes he’s a bit strict. Team Neptune is pleased with their mold. House is worried because Meagan has immunity and there is a lot to do. TIME!

Day 3! Everyone returns to get ready for application day. Wayne runs the head while Kris works on a leg. The models arrive and get instructions. Team Saturn is worried about running things on application day. Anthony hopes they get everything done by Last Looks. Autumn bosses Eric Z. around. House realizes the mask doesn’t fit properly at TIME! He’s worried about the makeup…

Coming Up: Eric Z explains!

Last Looks! Everyone tries to finish up their werewolves. Kris says it’s very stressful while House still works on his face. He does say he’ll take the heat on it. Anthony is worried about a wig hiding sculpture. TIME! Anthony is proud, Eric Z isn’t sure about his project.

McKenzie welcomes them to the stage. There are judges: Glenn, Ve and Neville. She reminds them of their challenge. Then they bring out the werewolves.

Team Mars: I like the red and the face doesn’t look too bad.
Team Saturn: The wings look cool. Not so great from far away.
Team Jupiter: Anyone else feel the face is Gummy Bear Cat 2.0? It looks better from far away.
Team Neptune: Is frickin’ amazing. Wayne and Kris for the win!

The judges take their closer looks. Glenn thinks Team Mars’ werewolf tells a story. The back of Team Saturn split open. They say it’s a lot of work but they aren’t sure. Neville and the judges focus on Autumn’s head. Eric Z is scared.

COMMERCIALS!

Eric Z is still concerned. Ve loves Team Neptune’s werewolf. So do the other judges.

Team Mars steps up first. Glenn likes their concept and that there is a backstory. Ve likes the model can use her mouth. Neville calls it classic werewolf. They step back as Meagan also thanks their model. Team Saturn is next. Ve praises how much work they did but doesn’t like the head. Did Ve just say “bitchin”? Neville doesn’t like the backwards aspect. Glenn says the head is too big and other things don’t work.

Team Neptune is next. Neville praises the detailing on the spine, neck and skull. Glenn praises the work and Ve loves it. They thank their model and shake hands. Last is Team Jupiter. Autumn explains it and Glenn calls it a nightmare. As Autumn talks about the sculpting thing so Eric Z speaks up. Glenn just knocks the work. Neville notes they don’t seem to be a team. Glenn calls it a match made in hell. He notes Autumn walks all over him and Eric Z. let her. Autumn doesn’t think she’s bossy but the judges clearly do. Send her home!

The judges deliberate. Team Mars: Glenn liked the work they did while Neville liked their head sculpture. They just loved Team Neptune’s. Team Saturn: Needed to do more thinking. Glenn thinks Eric F needs to be humbled. Team Jupiter: Awful. Neville calls it a “ludicrous” concept. Ve thinks Autumn was bossy but Neville doesn’t like that Eric Z didn’t speak up. Spare him and send her home.

Anyway, Team Neptune and Team Mars are our top looks. But the winner is…

COMMERCIALS!

Anyway, top team is Team Neptune! Naturally. As for the one winner, it is…Kris! Wayne smiles and applauds. The judges loved the back. Team Neptune and Team Mars are sent back to the makeup room. Can we just send Team Saturn back and eliminate Autumn now? No? Okay. The judges tear down the final products. Going home tonight is…Autumn. FINALLY! THANK YOU! He tells her it was her concept and her work but she didn’t take credit at the awful work. They dismiss her without another word. She says she’s out and no one is really sad.

Autumn says everything lobbied against her was wrong. Oh, sweet delusions! Goodbye, Autumn!

She’s gone! Let’s celebrate! And to quote myself from my Get Glue check in—Autumn: Gets eliminated and still blames her partner. She won’t be missed. Meanwhile, I hope Anthony isn’t on downward spiral. I do like him, though if Kris wins, I’ll be happy as well.
