Major thumbs down on that from me, too. Klingons don't give a shit about living long or prospering. That fish creature was horrible. I couldn't believe it made the top 3, let alone got so much praise. It wasn't just the mask, but I didn't even really read it as a fish.

Dave has his spent his time there crawling up Chris's ass and being part of a stupid "alliance" meant to target other artists. And Matt and Katie (because she's Matt's apprentice) have been targets of that. So, no, I don't agree that he's kept his head down and worked. He has been a stooge for Chris for weeks now, and I can see Katie being pleased with him or any other of that group getting sent packing. Of course, that's taking the "reaction" shots at face value, as mentioned above.

Any dude who needs to be told he is acting like a misogynistic piece of shit shouldn't be working with women. Or anyone else. It's really not a woman's job to tell him how to act like a professional. Anyway, I should have skipped this episode. It wasn't even how bad the bottom looks were. It was that the top looks were atrocious, yet received incredible praise from the judges.

, The fact remains that being paired with Meg means there is one fewer person who could possibly be sent home. Also, it's usually someone from the worst team who does go home. It's never good to be paired with someone who has immunity, especially if they are not really into helping, as Meg didn't appear to be. Meg really didn't need to worry about the one she was doing so much at the end when Libby asked for help. They all essentially did their own make-up. If you're not going home no matter what you do, help your teammate. It's not like her focus on her own model improved that look all that much, anyway. Anyway, didn't really care that Libby left, but I would be happy to see Meg go soon. Her teary-eyed look is getting to me. That "snake" was also seriously fucked up, and I would have been fine with it going. I didn't see much grasp of anatomy there, either. Does the dude even know what a snake looks like? The statue wasn't as horrible as the other three in the bottom. Since Meg couldn't be sent packing, either Libby or the duck-faced snake were equally okay choices.

The way he talked in front of his canvas was inexcusable. Telling Marissa that he was "over" the tattoo and how much he hated it? Way to instill confidence in the person you're putting that ink on, asshole. I truly hate Chris more every week. Dave is the worst follower ever. If you're an actual tattoo artist, you don't need an alliance. This isn't Survivor, ffs.

He's been like that for a while, though. It's just getting more attention now that Marq's bullshit isn't there to take away the focus. I also wonder if they haven't given Chris a positive edit prior to this because of the pro-military "I'm a Marine" line.

You can use a female model and have it be a female Holmes. There's no reason to have it be a daughter. That's what I'm getting at.

I originally thought she was doing a sort of rip-off of Elementary, but with a female Holmes instead of Watson. When she mentioned daughter, I wondered why she went that direction.

It was obvious who the safe artists were, since they were ignored the entire episode. I didn't hate the vegetable Scarlet Letter make-up. I thought it was really creepy and kind of cool. I would have put that awful King Arthur old man monstrosity in the bottom instead. It was horrid.

Chris is an asshole. After his little speech about how he took out SM for himself (no shit, dude) did he really think he had the moral high ground? Tyler flipping off his canvas? Also an asshole. I actually liked Duffy's tattoo.

Most of them probably do have an official policy that says something of the sort. Doesn't mean they actually care, or that they can tell all the time. Not everyone is stupid enough to take so many painkillers that they fall out in front of people. Besides, a lot of the better artists I have known don't work in shops. They work on their own.

The way the judges slobbered over him makes me wonder about that. They seemed completely impressed in a way that I couldn't justify. If he stayed, I could see it coming down to him and Chris at the end.

My husband and I were talking about it the other night. She probably brought pills in and popped them in the bathroom before they started. From the way she looked, I don't think she had taken them too much in advance. I'm sure the canvasses are there for quite a while before they actually sit for the tattoo. They probably didn't know what she had done until it was too late. Maybe they need to keep a bettter eye on the on-air talent in the future. To be honest, it would not surprise me if many of the "good sitters" who appear as canvases were on something. It's something most tattoo artists are used to. Just most of them aren't stupid enough to OD in the process.

You take a bunch of drugs beforehand and take yourself to the edge of overdose. Probably benzos or some sort of opiate. I've known stupid people who did just that to deal with the pain or nerves before tattoos. Really stupid people.

Production does drive the drama and always has. Heather Sinn commented on that the first season. The screaming matches have been there since the start. Any contestant who claims it was his doing is just trying to build up his rep.

That's the bigger problem for me. Not only did he not follow the rules, making the challenge easier for him, but his tattoo was complete garbage even after making it easier on himself. There was really nothing redeeming about that tattoo, even if you don't consider the challenge.

You mean a complete and utter asshole? I agree, Dale is a complete and utter asshole. And I didn't think much of Kelly trying to make excuses for him, either. Didn't find that pair any more endearing than Missy and Baylor.

She's a woman, and there always needs to be something to bash a woman about on this show. Consider the demo of the channel this is on...
