Face Off Season 8: Franchise Finale

Our Face Off finale starts much like last year’s—instantaneously, on the reveal stage, seconds after Julian was eliminated. That’s because, much like last year, it was faster to just have him turn around and rejoin the eliminated cast that returning to play assistants to the finale three. The entire cast, in fact. So not only is this a test of makeup, but with an entire squadron of helpers…

Face Off Season 8: The Wild Wild West

It’s the last episode before the finale. Our final four meet up with McKenzie, who is, as pointed out, is dressed completely inappropriately for the “western town” Universal Studios backlot they’re standing on.

Barker agreed to appear via…

This week, Face Off remind us of Southern California’s water problems by having the contestants meet McKenzie under the bridge of the LA river, which never seems to have any water in it. No matter, if it did it would wash McKenzie’s bank of televisions away. Said bank of TVs (six in all) has images of iconic bridges on them for the contestants to pick–to design the Troll that hangs out under…
