Face Off Season Six: Finale Raving
Face Off Season Six: Finale Raving
We’ve had a two full extra weeks of episode, what with Judge’s Saves and surprise two-part Top Fours. But we’re finally to the end of the season. Our final three meet McKenzie in the lab for the last time, only to find a lighting company was allowed to go insane in their absence.
McKenzie tells us the show delivered on their “promise of extreme.” (Actually that’s for us to judge, and no, they…

Face Off Season Six: Howl Wolf
Our final four contestants were given a reprieve last week as the show founds a way to extend its Jim Henson’s Creature Shop Challenge lead in by making Top Four Week take two episodes. Part one had them making Vampires. Tonight starts exactly where we left off at the end of the last episode. No really, it’s so right where we left off that McKenzie hasn’t even changed clothes. They’ve been…

We’ve reached our final four. This is it–last episode before the finale! I hope everyone is as stoked as I am for that. They meet McKenzie and former judge of the show Patrick Tatopoulos in this gorgeous Mausoleum, filled with minarets and Moorish style architecture and tile work. Gorgeous enough that I first thought it was a Mosque, or a museum. But nope, it’s the Angeles Abbey Mausoleum.
Patri…

We’ve finally reached our Top Five and are rounding towards the finale. If we ever get that double elimination that Judge’s Save should have caused, we could be there by next week.
Our five guys seem oblivious to this fact as they meet up with McKenzie at Union Station. They are here at what McKenzie calls “one of the last great rail stations” to observe that all the ticketing stations once…

We’re down to six contestants, and Face Off‘s tendency to favor men has once again reared its head. We have no women left, and we’re still weeks away from the finale.
Our sausage-fest meets McKenzie and judge Neville Page at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects. Turns out Neville is an alum of the school, as well as on the board. There’s a computer station set up for each of them in the room as…

I’m impressed. By this time last year in season four we were a week out from the finale. But the need to fill more programming weeks on Syfy has done a number on them. This week we still have seven contestants left. They meet McKenzie at kidspace, which is LA’s Children’s Museum. This is because this week’s challenge is Children’s literature, and I suppose no one was going to pay to show to film…

Last week, Face Off took their Top Eight to Japan, and then decided not to eliminate anyone at the end of it because the experience was so special. (Also, they had to use up the judges save.) How can they top this? Well, they can’t. We’re back to the LA grind, meeting McKenzie in the exotic locale of…the lab.
There are horror props all over the place and yellow lighting. McKenzie pretends this…

Face Offis going to Japan! Where the hell did they find the budget? Did the producers increase it in response to this being one of Syfy’s most popular shows? Did Syfy give them a bonus or something? Does it matter? The remaining contestants are IN JAPAN for heaven’s sake. They are shown hitting up touristy spots like Tsukiji Fish Market, Shibuya Crossing and Rikugien Gardens. The next morning at…
