I'd rather see this sort of gimmick than the you-must-cook-steak-for-700-people-because-some-festival-paid-a-promontional-fee-to-Bravo. There is more opportunity for creativity when the challenges are smaller scale.
Brandon's looks remind me of the Brady Bunch Movie, where Mike keeps submitting the same design over and over, no matter what the assignment; except in this case, the judges fawn all over him.
If this was Project Runway, they would cut to a talking head of Blue Hair whining about lack of respect. Since it's Face Off, she made a joke about saving the best for last, and they all focused on the challenge.
I have always loved that the contestants on this show help each other (and that there are no talking heads where they are encouraged to insult each other), and this episode demonstrated that once again.
Ve looked rather pretty.
I think the Cig and George show will be fun to watch.
I liked most of the creatures, but that crab was awful.
During his exit interview, Katsugi said that he was the first cook ever to be sent home in a RW challenge. I suspect his strategy was to let John, as EC, be the fall guy if their team should lose. If so, I'm glad it bit him in the ass.
Here in Denver, they just cut into JJ with breaking news. Terrorist attack? High speed chase? Nope. Live footage of the Broncos' plane landing at DIA. Now they are split-screen showing Bronco fans hanging out at the training facility.
Sigh.
