Face Off (2011) s10e05 Episode Script

This is a really successful character.
That's a rough one, man.
It's such a well-synthesized character.
Previously on Face Off Rob's realistic makeup brought him his first win, but Njoroge missed the mark and was sent home.
And tonight the artists face an intergalactic shock.
Slime.
I like that.
I'm getting claustrophobic 'cause I'm so stressed.
Hey, guys, I need you to stop working.
This is just really fucking scary.
I think it's pretty damn good.
This doesn't quite make it.
In the end, only one will win a VIP trip from Kryolan Professional Make-Up to one of their a brand-new 2016 FIAT 500, and $100,000.
This is Face Off.
Creepy.
- What? - Ooh, scary.
So we come into the lab, and there's all kinds of glasses and chemicals, and it looks like a mad scientist was in a crazy mood.
What the hell now? I like crazy.
Science-- I like that.
Hey, guys, you ready to find out about your next Spotlight Challenge? Yes.
Let's get to it.
So films like Aliens, The Thing, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, introduced audiences to parasitic aliens that feed off of and burst out of their human hosts.
This chilling combination of horror and sci-fi is at the core of this week's challenge.
That's awesome.
Now, behind me are five microscopes, each one with a different real-world microorganism.
Working in teams of two, your Spotlight Challenge is to choose one of them and use it as inspiration for your very own alien entity that is bursting out of its host.
Yes.
I have an obsession with aliens, so I'm really excited about this.
Everyone, pick a teammate and go stand next to them.
- Kaleb? - Yes.
Go, team Mel! All right, it's time to choose your microorganisms.
Mel and Melissa, you're first.
Please be good.
- Ooh! - Nice.
- Oh, nice! - Yes! Eenie, meenie, miny, mo.
- Yeah.
- All right.
Ooh! - We can do that.
- That's a good one.
All right, I brought in an expert to help advise you this week.
He has starred in over 150 films, including Pumpkinhead, The Terminator, and Aliens.
Please welcome Bishop himself, Lance Henriksen.
What? Oh, my God! Aliens is one of my favorite films.
I'm just like, "Aah! I get to see him!" Thank you so much for being here.
- Thank you.
- It's an honor.
Thank you.
All right, so you know this world extremely well.
What do you think makes these types of aliens so terrifying? Like a jack-in-the-box, the anticipation of it popping up is what people got excited about.
It's so true.
So how can these guys capture that fear in their makeups? To really create fear and stuff that's legitimate, it has to come from your life experiences.
Use that in your work.
All right, guys, it's time to get working on your designs.
I'll be by later on with my dad to check in and see how you're doing.
Good luck.
Thank you.
There's just so much cool stuff happening - in this parasite.
- I know.
Our microorganism is Lepidonotopodium piscesae.
It looks frightening, so we want it to be gruesome.
This parasite is kind of starting to, like, bust out of this skin.
We decide that our alien microorganism will take over its host, but we want our alien to be bursting out of one side of the face.
This is exactly what I was thinking.
This thing is very wormy.
I've worked with Robert once before, and I'm a little hesitant this time around.
No, no, don't paint any more of that.
I'm worried that we're going to butt heads.
I think this thing is starting to grow like a tumor growing on her head.
Our microorganism is a Taenia taeniaeformis.
It's got little tentacles, and it's wormlike.
We are doing a food-poisoning infestation story.
The host develops tumorlike formations on their skull, and eventually the worms explode out in slimy, bloody glory.
That'll look pretty cool and sets us apart from anyone else.
I want it to seem like it grew inside of him, and then it's bursting out at several places.
So, if the head is in the back of the head-- Our microorganism is Nereis sandersi.
Lance Henriksen tells us that what's scary about it is the anticipation leading up to that moment where you see the alien.
So we decide we want the alien to be bursting out the back of the head, so you only see it once he turns around.
That's really cool.
I like that idea.
Hey, guys! I need you to stop working.
Oh, my goodness.
Come gather on up over here with us.
McKenzie, what are you doing to me? McKenzie and Lance come back out, but Mr.
Westmore isn't with her.
We're like, "What's going on? This is just really fucking scary.
" All right, so there's another element of this challenge that we haven't told you about.
Lance, what is the one thing that every good alien makeup needs? Slime.
That's right-- slime.
All of your final creations must have some kind of slime, but we need to see the goods right now.
What? What is happening? Your first Foundation Challenge starts now.
Oh, no.
I'm a little nervous, but I'm ready to get messy and really bring this home to our design.
You'll have two hours to create custom slime for your alien creations.
When time is up, we're gonna test it out.
So, Lance, what are you gonna be looking for? I'm looking at texture, color, and does it work in the way you intended it to? Before we begin, let's see what materials you'll be working with.
Oh, my God.
I need my apron.
Well, as you can see, you have a little bit of everything here for you.
Now, before we begin, I'm sure you're assuming that immunity is on the line.
Yes.
It is, but for the first time ever, the winning team will win immunity.
That's awesome.
We want this really bad, but there's only five teams.
So, if one team is already safe, you really have to do a good job.
All right, well, let's make some slime.
On Lance's "go," I want you to grab your supplies and get started.
On your mark, get set, go! I will follow your lead here.
Oh, I wish you wouldn't.
I've never made slime before, so I hope Mel knows how to make slime.
All right, so this definitely goops up quickly.
We get this cool-looking nematode.
So our concept is the alien is bursting out of the model's head, and then she'll have this flayed skin that was formerly her face, resting on her shoulders.
Melissa and I want the slime to have that Sticky, gooey quality.
So I'm grabbing cornstarch and glycerin 'cause we have no idea what we're doing.
I'm trying to make it less liquid, I feel like.
That one's pretty nice.
I stumble upon the magic ingredient, which is veterinary lube.
It creates that snap-back that we've been looking for.
Science.
What-- Oh, that's nice.
This mixture creates like, boogers.
Johnny and I get the tardigrade.
We want the host shedding the human skin, and this alien organism will also be bursting from the chest, and the slime will be shooting from the chest.
That's cool.
The laundry detergent has some kind of chemical property that's making it form all of these, like, gelatinous blobs.
To add a little bit of texture, I add some flocking to it.
Flocking is, like, little fibers.
I think this is, like, the best idea anyone's ever had, so I'm making sure that nobody's looking and ditch the evidence immediately.
I think with my idea, we might take this one.
Yeah.
Our concept is disgusting.
So Rob and I know that we want our slime to be mucus-y and chunky.
So I start with applesauce.
Then I put cornstarch in it to make it thicker.
I think I want a little more yellowy-green.
And it turns into this nasty, snotty, gross, chunky stuff, and I'm like, "Perfect.
" Mmm.
Oh, that's good.
I like that.
Our slime is a corn-syrup base.
It's runny but stringy.
It's right in line with our concept.
Highlighters are good, 'cause you can soak the highlighters in it - and make them-- - Make them shiny? Yeah.
I want a bright slime because it'll catch the light and look awesome and nasty and gooey.
Gross, but I love it.
I think it's, like, booger-y.
Anna and I do a test batch of detergent, a corn syrup, glycerin, and a lot of glue.
Look at that.
But it's still too watery, and we want a slow-moving slime because it's not stringy coming out.
It's more of a vomit.
We'll just keep playing with it until it gets there.
We just keep on adding more methylcellulose, more glycerin.
We're hoping that with a little bit of time to settle, it'll come around.
Ten minutes! Time's up! Let's test some slime.
Ah, that's so gross.
All right, ready to try out your slime? - Yeah, absolutely.
- Have at it.
Three! - There we go.
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh! - Yeah.
It's got some strength too.
Really cool.
- Look at that.
- Yeah, look at the stretch.
Look at the stretch of this thing.
Wow.
Oh! That's good stuff.
Good work.
There, that's better.
Yay! Oh! Oh, my God.
Yeah! Do you want gloves? Yeah.
No, I didn't.
I didn't.
It's still there.
All right, Lance, so which teams made the best slime today? This is really hard 'cause you all did such a great job, but I'll say Johnny and Walter.
I love what you did.
You mastered the chunk.
Usually, the stuff is so thinned out, so it has a use that I haven't quite seen before.
Mel and Melissa, it was beautiful.
It could be either very sinister and catch the light, or it could be very childlike.
Really quite wonderful.
All right, well, it is time to crown a winning team, so who is it, Lance? The winning team is Alright, well it is time to crown a winning team.
So who is it, Lance? The winning team is Mel and Melissa.
I could see this in a film so easily with the lighting.
So I'm really happy for you.
You've created something wonderful.
Thank you.
I could not be more grateful for the immunity.
Sometimes having fun really does pay off.
Mel and Melissa, congratulations.
Neither of you can be eliminated in this week's Spotlight Challenge.
So, Lance, thank you so much for being here with us today.
- This was so much fun.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
I had a great time.
All right, guys, it's time to get back to work on your Spotlight Challenge.
Good luck.
Bye.
Thank you.
It's time to get to work, and Anna's gonna sculpt the face, and I'm gonna sculpt the cowl.
I'm taking reference from the organism to add to my cowl, and I want to bring it all the way across, adding the horns and the folds.
Our angle is to really scare the judges.
We want to be scared by it.
We want everybody to be scared by it.
It looks awesome.
I love it.
So this side, jaw, is hard.
- Does that work? - Yeah.
While Rob is doing the cowl, I want to get my shoulder piece completely sculpted and start the arm appliance.
For the shoulder piece, I want it to look like the tentacles are moving in and out of the body with bigger ones and smaller ones just bursting out.
- So these are here? - Like this.
- Like, in one big thing.
- Okay.
Hey, guys, here to check in on you.
Hi.
- Hey, everybody.
- Hi.
All right, so you have immunity, so you're pretty much on your own.
- You ready? - Yeah, let's go.
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
Kidding.
Kidding, kidding.
All right, so tell us about your microorganism that's bursting out of its host.
So I'm sculpting the face, and she's sculpting the cowl.
Right now I'm feeling very unhappy with the face.
I think the first thing you need to do is change this.
They don't have to be the same height.
I wouldn't break it open right down the middle of the nose like that.
It could also be opened up, I think, a little bit more.
It's got a long way to go.
Yeah, you need to make it look like this thing is really forcing its way out through the face.
Tell us what you got going on.
- Alien worms.
- All right.
So he's causing tumors building in her - Mm-hmm, right.
- head.
I want to incorporate that bloody-pustule, tumor look to them.
You don't really need to do most of them.
Don't overdo it.
Be selective with it, instead of just doing-- - Just a few, then? - Yeah.
Kind of break it up.
- Got ya.
- Yep.
Yep.
The face of the parasite will be popping out of the back of the head here, and then his tentacles will be underneath his skin.
You know, any place you start putting rips in the skin, you've got to make it a little bit more flipped, maybe raised around the edges so it looks like it's stretching that's going on as it's going into the head.
Okay.
We wanted to go with a pretty classic chest-bursting monster.
We can spin it with a drill motor.
He's thinking of doing a little bit of a gore makeup around it.
Well, if you're gonna do that, then you ought to take and actually put some skin around that.
Otherwise it's gonna look like a piece that's just put-- Especially if the costume moves or something.
Sure.
I was a little concerned with how I'm gonna make it transition from the lip into broken skin.
You need to be bursting out of here.
Right now it doesn't look like it's bursting out.
It looks like a mouth, and she's going like this, you know? I think you're just gonna have to take and pull that up and give yourself that torn skin.
Okay.
Bury it right over the lower lip and around there.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
All right, guys, we're heading out.
- Can't wait to see these.
- Good luck to everybody.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
It's just frustrating 'cause I've started over three times.
I know.
As the day goes on, I'm still hating the face.
I know that we have immunity, but I don't want to put out anything that I'm gonna be embarrassed by, and what's happening now, I feel terrible about.
I hate it so much.
Like, it doesn't look like our thing.
Should I just take this off really quick? Yeah, sure.
Go ahead.
I feel, like, very stressed out.
I feel like my hands are broken, like I'm-- What's wrong with you? Fourth time's the charm.
I'm just trying to build up, like, where it's gonna start.
I decide to go more for a sense of inspiration from the microorganism, rather than literally replicating it, and now I'm finally feeling like I have a direction.
So that's looking better, I think.
I think right now it's looking a lot better.
That is time, everyone! Man, I totally checked my ego about being like, "We don't need the immunity.
" I finally have a direction I'm happy with, and time's up.
It didn't feel very close.
Today feels like a huge waste, but I'm excited that I can come in tomorrow and get this done and just be done with this face.
Yeah! We got this.
Mel and I have a lot to do today.
We need to finish both of our sculptures, and then we need to mold everything.
I feel like I was, like, so in my own head yesterday.
I'm, like, looking at yours now, like, "This looks really cool.
" I'm glad you approve.
At this point, all I really need to do is finish some basic forms in the face, and then add all the texture, 'cause texture's what's gonna sell this as a real organism.
While Katie is doing one big cowl, I will just concentrate on the alien and make, like, a pretty cool-looking worm/alien thingy.
It's not easy being a brain worm.
It just eats people's brains because of rejection.
Hans likes to burrow into peoples' brains.
He's not particularly a bad worm, but it's just his nature.
He just wants love, you know? Revenge.
- Oh, he's eating his feelings? - Yeah.
Hans the brain worm first he eats your brain then you go insane I just came up with that.
I go over and check on my poly foam chest piece.
I open the mold, and it doesn't work.
It didn't really fill.
There was nothing remotely usable, which is extremely frustrating.
Here's what we got.
That didn't expand at all.
Wow.
Yeah.
What I thought was gonna work isn't working, and it's kind of a big part of the makeup.
The challenge was a bursting creature, which we don't have right now.
And now we have to start over.
I open the mold, and it doesn't work.
We didn't use enough poly foam, and now we have to start over.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
I know there's a lot to do, and I feel like I'm letting Walter down, and I'm disappointed, and so I'm going to make it work.
The first try was a waste, so we need to do it all over again, and this time we tripled the amount of self-skinning poly foam that we're going to be using, and hopefully that's enough to get what we need.
Look at you in here all fancy.
Mm-hmm.
Now I'm freaking out.
Why? 'Cause I'm running out of time.
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed.
I really like the way it looks, but if I don't get it molded, then it doesn't really matter.
I just decide-- got to mold it.
So I immediately go into "super-fast rushing to get this mold done" mode.
What's up? I just took my sweet-ass time, didn't I? I'm just mad at myself.
Here, come use this area.
Hopefully nothing goes wrong.
I'm getting claustrophobic 'cause I'm so stressed.
I don't want to crowd into a corner.
Oh.
This is only the second cowl I've ever molded and the only cowl I've ever molded alone.
So I've mixed up enough plaster for both sides at a time, and it goes super fast.
This mold needs to turn out perfect so my sculpture, which I'm in love with now, comes out, and I really don't want to mess it up 'cause that would totally ruin everything.
We're all so quiet.
We're all focused.
- Help me.
- Okay.
Yvonne and I start working on our slime.
We decide to not go with our slime from the Foundation Challenge.
We didn't really like the way it turned out.
So we find some caramel food coloring.
It looks disgusting, which is exactly what we wanted.
We're going to use it all over our alien and for the drool coming out of our host's mouth.
Yes.
Mmm.
Yeah, I wouldn't want that bursting out of my chest or anywhere for that matter.
That's it, people! Zero minutes left! I am so relieved today is over.
We got a lot done, but it was so stressful.
All is well, but tomorrow I'm really gonna have to manage my time well and paint like a madman.
You're gonna leave me hanging this whole time? How are those beautiful edges? - Oh, yes.
- Pretty good.
I'm gonna make today my bitch.
We need to get the cowl on, face piece on, attach the monster to the chest and paint the whole thing.
Yeah, I like that.
Where's Hans? I want to get these out.
All right.
Meh, meh.
This is gonna look so scary.
Here's the models.
I'm Mel.
Kaleb.
Nice to finally meet you.
This is Hans the brain worm.
He's gonna come out of your head.
I'm starting to paint this guy now.
Okay.
We need to finish pre-painting first.
So I focus on getting all the vein work applied to the cowl.
And I'm really liking this.
- More.
- More? Okay, thank you.
I brush five-minute epoxy right onto the beak.
It gives it that shiny, wet look, but it also makes it harder, so it actually is looking like our organism's mouth.
It's time to get these pieces on him, start bringing our character to life.
I'm just gonna finish up the last of this, and then we'll apply.
- Sound good? - Perfect.
I don't know if the shoulders should blend onto the cowl or the cowl onto the shoulder.
Kaleb and I need to apply as many prosthetics as we can and then paint everything all at once.
We have a lot to do, but it's definitely not impossible to get it all done.
Oh, that's foul as hell.
- That's disgusting.
- I love it.
I want to get this thing made, get it on, get it working, like, now.
I'm worried about time at this point.
We need to put this monster together.
All right, hit it.
After we get the chest rigged up, we test the drill, we see that it's working.
The makeup is coming together, and I think the blood spray and the initial shock that it's gonna cause will show the judges that we're really going for it.
Yeah.
Cool.
You okay with what's happening - with the paint job? - Yeah.
I still haven't added the yellow.
The yellow's gonna lighten it up.
We basically have two separate paint jobs.
So she's painting around the face.
I'm painting around the cowl, and we're just circling our poor model, but it looks great.
Oh, that's so horrifying.
Next, I lay hair on the head, and it just turns up the creep factor, like, a million.
It's awesome and gross.
It just, like, draws your attention to the fact that it's a human head on her shoulder.
It was a human head.
No.
The forehead is starting to press underneath the weight of the cowl.
Okay.
The more we patch it, it's just making the edge thicker instead of making it better.
Our time is almost next to nothing, and that's when I start panicking.
How much time is left? Time! This is my cowl.
It's my application of it, and that's a lot of weight for me as a makeup artist.
It's just disappointing.
I've got to find a way to fix it.
Here we go.
We get to the stage for Last Looks I'm trying to figure out how to get the face on here.
And the face doesn't fit over the cowl.
So we've cut the chin part out and make sure it fits on the face, but now we have to reattach her little chin flap, where we've cut the appliance.
We got to get moving.
I'm gonna start.
We really want our makeup to look as disgusting as possible.
So we put on slime, and then we put on more slime because you can never have enough slime.
Okay, do you see here? Maybe hide this edge.
Time is running out, and I don't like it.
I think that looks really dumb 'cause it doesn't serve a purpose.
We have a big freaking ridge over the whole thing.
I mean, that's even worse.
It looks like the San Andreas Fault in the middle of her head.
Ten minutes! That's time, everyone! I'm really frustrated the ridge is there.
It's very prominent.
I know we're gonna get fucked for that.
So I expect to be in the bottom looks.
Welcome to the Face Off Reveal Stage.
Say hello to our lovely series judges.
Owner of Alchemy Studio, Glenn Hetrick.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Oscar and Emmy award-winning makeup artist, Ve Neill.
- Hi, guys.
- Hi, Ve.
And creature and concept designer Neville Page.
- Hello.
- Hi, Neville.
All right, let's get to it.
For this week's Spotlight Challenge we asked you to choose a microorganism and use it as inspiration for an alien entity bursting out of its host.
So let's take a look at your creations.
It's so gross and delightful, and I'm proud of this one.
Even though we had immunity, we still brought it.
We still put out a really good look.
This is what we were going for.
It's gross.
It's scary.
It's shocking.
I think we pulled it off.
We have accomplished the alien entity coming out.
I feel like we nailed that part, but I can definitely see the edge from where I'm standing, and I know that's a terrible sign.
I really love this character.
He looks awesome and gross and scary, and I'm hoping that it's gonna scare the judges.
Our alien's bursting out in a completely different way than everyone else's.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but I like it.
Judges, why don't you take a closer look? I like the blue slime.
It's kind of pretty, actually.
This is a really great opportunity to play with colors to make it look more interesting, and they took advantage of that.
This one really capitalizes on the busting-out idea.
This is much better up close.
When you get in a little closer, you can see that the skin is actually peeling back.
Shape's kind of weird.
It's just lumpy.
It doesn't feel specific enough.
- Ugh.
- I think you got slimed.
Oh, yeah.
There's not much going on with the front, and it's just like a bald-cap transition.
That whole thing is, like, slipping forward.
This whole thing isn't put on her.
So soft in its detail.
It should be more defined.
Turn the other way.
I do like this concept that the nose is split in half.
I just wish it wasn't bifurcated almost perfectly.
As the judges start to touch the middle of the face, I start getting nervous, 'cause that's the most important part of the makeup.
Never split a makeup right down the middle.
I'm thinking they could possibly hate it.
All right, guys, it's time to get on Twitter and tell us who made your favorite creation tonight, using #FaceOff I just wish it wasn't bifurcated almost perfectly.
Never split a makeup right down the middle.
I'm thinking they could possibly hate it even though I'm happy with what I've done.
To me, it doesn't look like it's coming out of him.
It looks like he's transforming.
Mm-hmm.
This feels more appropriate in terms of separation of the tones between the victim and the alien organism.
Can you turn that way, come around? This one is so cool.
It's coming out in so many different areas.
Thanks.
Okay, the judges would like to speak with each of you to find out more about your work.
Walter and Johnny, please step forward.
Tell us about your concept.
Our creature was the tardigrade, so it is messing with his DNA, as well as physically leaving his body.
I definitely think it's a great concept.
How did you break up the work? I did the facial-appliance sculpt and the cowl sculpt.
I sculpted the monster and the mouth.
I love the drill motor.
That's awesome.
But I unfortunately think that you leaned a little too heavy into working out the gags and didn't spend enough time developing the form.
I loved your little spinning goodie and the squirting, but one of my main concerns about this makeup is, from afar, it looks like he's wearing an orange, floppy beret that's hanging over his eye.
The top piece is growing out of him, and the belly piece is bursting out of him.
I think that's a problem because you've got two very different things occurring at the same time.
So there's some really cool things about this.
I just don't know if the payoff is what you had hoped for.
Understood.
Walter and Johnny, please step down.
Thank you.
Mel and Melissa, please step forward.
Ladies, tell us about your concept.
This lab technician was working with an unknown sample when it infected her.
It gradually took over her interior anatomy, and it burst through her mouth.
I think you ladies did a terrific job.
You really spent a long time sculpting all the detail into it.
There's lots of form.
Great paint job.
Really nicely done.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Who did what exactly on this? Melissa was responsible for sculpting this, which is part of the cowl, and I sculpted the face.
There's some really nice stuff here, particularly of the labial radula of this creature.
And the fact that you've used human teeth-- it makes it feel like it's got traces of her DNA still.
There's a beautiful transition coming off of the cowl into the face, so not only do I really like the shapes of your alien creature, I love the way that you handled the color.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Mel and Melissa, you can head back.
Katie and Robert, you're up next.
So tell us about your microorganism-inspired alien.
Our microorganism was very wormlike, and we wanted to turn it into a food-poisoning story.
It starts to incubate beneath the skin, and they start to emerge when they're fully formed.
His name is Hans.
Hans.
Hans the brain worm.
Ah.
That's how we named him.
Of course it is.
You have to.
So who did what? I did the worm.
I sculpted the cowl and painted it and applied it.
You could've done something much more with this headpiece.
The cowl looks like lumps, and it's not implying something is growing under the flesh.
It feels like the whole thing is a bit of missed opportunity.
- I know.
- Fair enough.
It looks like a face sticking out of a hood.
It's not just the shapes.
It's the color.
Her skin tone is her skin tone with a little makeup on it, and the rest of it is something completely different.
Katie and Robert, please head back.
Rob and Kaleb, you're up.
Tell me about your alien-organism concept.
Our organism is a prehistoric parasite that uses the mucus to slide under the skin and eventually make its way out.
I sculpted the face piece and the cowl, and Kaleb sculpted the shoulder and arm appliance.
I think it's pretty damn good.
Thank you.
The delineation between the flesh and the organism, is really well done.
The shapes coming out of the side of the face give it a really cool, creepy look.
Could you have him turn around for us? This large tubular thing going down into his collarbone is so amazing.
I love everything that you've got going on - on this creature.
- Thank you.
The back is more interesting than the front, but in this case, that's alluring.
Lance Henriksen said the fear is in the anticipation, so we decided to put the monster bursting out the back, and the reveal is what brings the fear.
And I love it for that, because that reveal on the back is so good.
Thank you.
Rob and Kaleb, please step back.
Anna and Yvonne.
Would you please tell us about your concept? Matt here was a patient in a hospital where this microorganism outbreak happened, so we had it bursting out of the side of the face.
This doesn't quite make it.
It doesn't look like anything has really burst out of him, and it looks like you just have a big line of demarcation down the front of his face, which is always a bad decision.
This layering of flesh, it's just stacks of this fatty tissue, and then it stops.
It doesn't really transition in an interesting way.
The end result is contrived and boring.
Anna and Yvonne, please head back.
Thanks, guys.
Please head back to the makeup room while the judges deliberate.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Okay, judges, that one-time special immunity is still available if you'd like to use it tonight.
So, with that, let's talk about tonight's makeups.
Let's begin with Melissa and Mel.
You know, everybody else was mainly fleshy colors, and they took it into those blue tones which really helped separate the alien from the human.
Yeah, the color was beautiful.
Out of everything tonight, it felt the most what it was that we were asking for.
All right, let's move on to Rob and Kaleb.
Oh, this was a bitchin' makeup.
They did a great paint job.
At any moment, you thought this thing was just gonna start squirming around.
It looked so great.
Kaleb did a really beautiful job on the shoulder and the arm, but the pièce de résistance is what Rob had done with the face and the cowl.
All right, let's move on to Katie and Robert.
There was nothing happening on the surface, and the Hans parasite was almost a direct take off of their source material.
I'm a lot happier with Robert's worm than the rocks in the sock that Katie put on her head, and the seam is one of the worst I've ever seen on the show.
Okay, how about Anna and Yvonne? To me, it looked more like a transformation.
It did not look like a bursting out.
It just looked like a sick guy on one side, and some strange lumpy thing on another.
All right, judges, have you made up your mind? - Yes, we have.
- Yes, we have.
Let's bring 'em back out.
All right, Glenn, tell us about the top teams.
Melissa and Mel, we love that you guys used so much color in your character, and you did a very good job of transitions, both in the sculpture and the paint work.
Rob and Kaleb, you made great choices with all of your shapes in the unique way that they broke through the skin.
We also really liked the way that you used color throughout the whole piece.
All right, which team came out on top? The top team tonight is All right, Glenn, tell us about the top team.
The top team tonight is Rob and Kaleb.
Your sculpture gave us a fantastic sense of movement, which made your alien entity feel almost alive.
Very well handled, gentlemen.
Thank you.
Rob and Kaleb, fantastic job.
But as you know, we can only have one winner.
Glenn? The winner of tonight's challenge is Rob.
The back side of that cowl was just amazing.
Those varying shapes, some plant, some animal, they were just phenomenal.
And congrats on the back-to-back wins.
Thank you very much.
I feel pretty damn good, to be honest.
I feel like it's giving me the energy boost that I need.
Rob, congratulations.
Thank you.
You, Kaleb, Melissa, Mel, Johnny, and Walter are all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
Thank you.
All right, guys, that means the rest of you are on the bottom tonight, and one of you will be going home.
Please step forward.
Glenn, tell us about the bottom teams.
Katie and Robert, your cowl lacked the proper forms to convey your story, and though the worm mechanism was a fun idea, it didn't quite come together.
Anna and Yvonne, this read as more of a transformation makeup than something bursting from within, and the cowl really lacked detail.
So who is going home tonight? The person going home tonight is Katie.
It was the lumpy cowl and the mismatched paint job that stood out as the most problematic elements - of this makeup.
- Fair enough.
Katie, I'm sorry, but you have been eliminated.
That means, Robert, Yvonne, and Anna, you're all safe and can head back to the makeup room.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Katie, we've all had a chance to see some great work come out of you, and we've also had a chance to see a great attitude, so thank you very much.
- It's been a pleasure.
- Thank you very much.
Katie, it's been great having you here with us, but if you'd please head back to the makeup room and pack up your kit.
Thank you very much, guys.
- Thank you.
- Good luck, Katie.
I am sad, but I'm very proud of what I've done here.
I'm going home.
No! I feel like it was a big success.
Some of the makeups may not have been successes, but I'm proud of myself for the effort and my attitude.
I think I'm a better make-up artist now.
I feel like total fire.
This is life-changing for me.
