WELCOME TO SKIN WARS.
[upbeat music]
- OH.
- GOING INTO TODAY,
THERE'S ONLY SEVEN OF US LEFT,
AND EVERYONE'S
JUST KIND OF LIKE,
LOOKING AROUND,
LIKE, THIS IS COMPETITION NOW.
IT'S GETTING MORE
AND MORE BRUTAL.
- WELCOME, PAINTERS.
WE HAVE ROBIN SLONINA.
- HI, GUYS.
- HI, ROBIN.
- WHOO-HOO.
- AND RU.
- [laughs] HELLO.
- AS YOU CAN SEE,
THE ROOM LOOKS
A LITTLE DIFFERENT TODAY.
- YES. YES, IT DOES.
WE ALL HAVE, LIKE,
A LIT-UP VANITY MIRROR
SITTING AT OUR STATIONS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
THE CHALLENGE IS GONNA BE TODAY.
- THE PAST FEW CHALLENGES
HAVE REALLY PUSHED YOU
OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONES.
BUT TODAY, WE'RE TAKING THINGS
TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
THE FIRST CHALLENGE IS GOING TO
FORCE YOU TO FACE YOUR FEARS.
LITERALLY.
THE BEST WAY
TO OVERCOME YOUR FEARS
IS TO FACE THEM HEAD-ON.
THAT'S WHY,
FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
YOU WILL BE PAINTING
YOUR BIGGEST FEAR
ON YOUR OWN FACE.
- BOO.
- [laughs]
- [laughs]
- HEE HEE.
YES, YES, YES.
THIS IS GONNA BE SO COOL.
[laughs]
- I'M LIKE, "DAMN IT," I'VE
NEVER HAD TO FACE-PAINT MYSELF.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE
OF THOSE FIRST-TIME THINGS.
- PAINTERS, THE WINNER
OF THIS CHALLENGE
WILL GET A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR THE UPCOMING
CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
YOU HAVE TWO HOURS
TO PAINT YOUR FACE AND NECK
TO COMPLETE THIS CHALLENGE.
YOUR TIME STARTS...
NOW.
- ALL RIGHT, DON'T BE SCARED.
- GOOD LUCK.
[upbeat rock music]
- I REALLY CAN'T
COME UP WITH ANYTHING
THAT I'M REALLY AFRAID OF.
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT
THE MAJORITY COULD RELATE TO?
AND I'M THINKING
HORROR FILMS.
AND I NEED
A CLEAN SURFACE.
YOU KNOW, I NEED TO GET RID
OF THIS BEARD AND MUSTACHE
AND HAIR.
- YOU'RE SHAVING YOUR HEAD?
- THIS IS FOR $100,000.
- I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO
BE PAINTING A REPRESENTATION
OF AN EVIL BEING
FROM MY NIGHTMARES AS A KID.
- I'M AFRAID
OF LOSING MY HUMANITY
AND BECOMING A MONSTER.
EACH OF THE PIECES
THAT I PUT ON MY FACE
REPRESENTS SOMETHING THAT'S
ACTUALLY GOING ON WITH ME.
- I'M A FATHER, AND SO I FEAR
FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN,
BUT THE ONLY THING THAT TRULY
TERRIFIES ME IS SPIDERS.
ONE HOUR, FOLKS.
ONE HOUR.
GET IT ON!
- MY BOYFRIEND
IS AN OUTDOOR GUIDE.
HE HAS
A DANGEROUS PROFESSION.
MY FEAR IS
IF HE'S OUT ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND HE GETS STUCK.
THAT'S WHY I DECIDE
THAT I'M GONNA PAINT MYSELF
AS MY LOVED ONE,
BUT DEAD.
- MY BIGGEST FEAR
IS TURNING INTO AN OLD LADY,
GETTING WRINKLY,
AND NOT BEING FLEXIBLE
ANYMORE.
- BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS
TRYING TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
WITH MY HAND, WHICH IS BLOCKING
MY VISION FROM THE MIRROR.
IT'S NOT AS EASY AS PAINTING
ON SOMEONE ELSE'S FACE.
- I CAN HANDLE RATS, CATS,
SNAKES,
BUT IF I THINK
THERE'S A SPIDER ON ME,
IT'LL JUST MAKE ME SQUEAL
LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.
- WOW, DUTCH
IS AFRAID OF SPIDERS.
THIS, LIKE, BIG DUDE
FEELS THE SAME WAY THAT I DO.
I GO OUT
ON A LOT OF INTERNET DATES.
MY MOM ALWAYS SAYS,
"PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
DON'T COME HOME
IN A BODY BAG."
MY PIECE IS ABOUT
A WORST-CASE SCENARIO.
I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED
AND LEFT FOR DEAD
IN A FOREST.
- NOT TRYING
TO SCARE EVERYBODY,
BUT WE HAVE
30 MORE MINUTES.
- THE ONE THING THAT I KNOW
THAT I CAN DO
THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN DO
IS PAINT THE BACK OF MY HEAD.
- MYTHICA'S PROSTHETIC
IS NOT PAINTED VERY WELL.
SHE'S PAINTED HER PROSTHETIC
ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD,
INSTEAD OF PAINTING IT
ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF HER
AND THEN APPLYING IT
TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD.
[laughs]
- AAH!
- I MAKE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE
NOT TO DO ANYTHING WITH MY NECK.
I DON'T THINK
THAT ADDING ANYTHING HERE
IS GOING TO ENHANCE
WHAT I'VE DONE HERE.
- OH, MY GOD,
36 SECONDS!
- I'VE NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
- I SACRIFICED MY BEARD,
YOU KNOW, MY--MY MUSTACHE,
MY HAIR.
I BETTER WIN THIS ONE.
- OKAY, PAINTERS,
YOUR TIME IS UP.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
WOW!
- ARTISTS HAS ISSUES.
[laughter]
- HELLO. I'M SEEING
SO MANY MOVIE ICONS--
FREDDY, PINHEAD,
AND THAT--THERE'S THE JOKER.
YOU'RE A BIG FAN
OF SCARY MOVIES.
- I AM ENTERTAINED
BY HORROR MOVIES.
- HE JUST TOOK IT
VERY LITERALLY.
WHAT ARE
PEOPLE AFRAID OF?
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID
OF HORROR MOVIES.
IT WAS AN EASY WAY OUT.
- WOW.
- MY BIGGEST FEAR
IS LOSING MY HUMANITY
IN THIS COMPETITION.
I TOOK TIME TO MONSTERIZE
MY BLIND SPOT BASICALLY.
- AND, SIR,
WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
- [laughs]
- THE BIGGEST FEARS
COME FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
THE CALLS ARE COMING
FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
- SO TELL US ABOUT YOUR FEAR.
- I AM AN ARACHNOPHOBE.
- DID YOU KNOW
THAT YOU'RE NEVER MORE
THAN 6 FEET AWAY FROM A SPIDER?
- [screams]
THAT'S AWESOME. THANKS.
- HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?
- I'M LOVING
THE FOUR PAIRS OF EYES.
- THANK YOU.
- THIS CHALLENGE
WAS FROM THE NECK UP.
- MM-HMM.
- WAS IT A CHOICE
TO LEAVE YOUR NECK EMPTY?
- YEAH. I REALLY COULDN'T
COME UP WITH ANYTHING ELSE
THAT REALLY SAID "SPIDER,"
BELOW THE CHIN.
- THANK YOU, DUTCH.
- THANK YOU.
- HEY, NICOLE.
- WOW.
THIS CHALLENGE WENT LONGER
THAN I THOUGHT.
- I KNOW.
MY BIGGEST FEAR IS GETTING OLD.
AND WHEN I'M OLD,
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.
all: OOH!
- WOW, GRANNY'S GOT
A GIMMICK.
- YOU DID
A REALLY BEAUTIFUL JOB
BLENDING THOSE PROSTHETICS.
- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU, NICOLE.
- THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH.
- I DATE VIA THE INTERNET.
THE NEWS IS FLOODED WITH STORIES
OF GIRLS WHO'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED.
THIS PROSTHETIC
IS ACTUALLY A CHIN PIECE
TO KIND OF MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
I'VE BEEN PUNCHED OUT.
- CAN YOU LEAN YOUR HEAD BACK
A LITTLE SO WE CAN SEE?
all: OOH.
- THAT'S BAD.
- YIKES.
- PROFILE PIC. THERE IT IS.
- HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
- WOW.
- SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE
IS A REPRESENTATION
OF CREATURES DURING DREAMS
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID.
IT'S THIS BLUE LIGHT
THAT'S INSIDE THEM,
BUT YET, ON THE OUTSIDE,
IT'S VERY FIERY AND EXOSKELETON.
- SO THAT'S ALL LIGHT
COMING FROM THE INSIDE.
- YEAH, YEAH.
YEAH.
- OKAY. THANK YOU, GEAR.
- WOW.
- IS THAT REALLY YOU?
- IT'S ME.
MY BOYFRIEND WORKS
IN THE OUTDOORS PROFESSION.
MY FEAR IS THAT
HE FREEZES TO DEATH.
- AND HAVE YOU EVER DONE
ANYTHING THIS ELABORATE
ON YOURSELF?
- I'VE NEVER DONE
THE BEARD THING, AND WE DIDN'T
HAVE ANY, LIKE, BEARD HAIR,
SO I ENDED UP USING THIS STUFF,
WHICH WAS JUST LIKE...
- MOSS.
- MOSS, YEAH.
SO, LIKE, YOU KNOW,
EVERYONE'S LIKE,
"NATALIE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S GOING DRAG."
- YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BORN NAKED
AND THE REST IS DRAG.
- [laughs]
- THANK YOU, NATALIE.
- THANKS, GUYS.
- [sighs]
- OH, BOY. SCARY.
- YEAH, SCARY.
- AND REVEALING, TOO.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MORE INSIGHT
INTO THE PAINTERS NOW.
- SHANNON.
- OH, MY GOD.
- I MEAN, TO SHOW HERSELF
JUST HIDEOUS AND DECOMPOSING
IS PRETTY BRAVE.
- IT'S PRETTY BRAVE.
- WHAT ABOUT NATALIE?
- TALK ABOUT CREATIVE.
SHE'S GRABBING A WIG.
SHE'S GRABBING MOSS.
- YEAH.
- AND GEAR.
HIS WHOLE AESTHETIC WAS FORMED
WITH THIS CRAZY DREAM HE HAD
AS A KID.
- MM-HMM.
- HOW ABOUT NICOLE?
- WOW.
THAT'S A REAL FEAR.
- CREATING THOSE WRINKLES
AND THE LIVER SPOTS,
LIKE, I WAS BUYING IT.
- WHAT ABOUT DUTCH?
- THERE'S A GUARDED ASPECT
TO DUTCH.
AND I REALLY FELT LIKE
I GOT TO KNOW HIM BETTER.
I WISH THAT HE HAD DONE
HIS NECK, THOUGH.
- I KNOW.
- ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WELL, YOU HAVE A TOUGH DECISION
ON YOUR HANDS.
LET'S FIND OUT
WHICH THREE PAINTERS
CONQUERED THEIR FEARS
THE MOST.
NATALIE.
SHANNON.
DUTCH.
PLEASE STEP FORWARD.
- I SEE A LOT
OF REALLY CONTRIVED PIECES,
SO I'M THINKING,
I GOT THIS IN THE BAG.
- DUTCH HAS LEFT
HIS WHOLE NECK BLANK.
THEY DIDN'T SAY,
"PAINT JUST YOUR FACE."
I DON'T THINK
THAT HE DESERVES TO WIN.
- DUTCH, IT WAS
THE PERFECT COMBINATION
OF CREATIVITY AND TECHNIQUE.
- THANK YOU.
- SHANNON,
GIRL, YOU SCARE ME.
WELL DONE.
- THANK YOU.
- NATALIE, YOU WERE SO CREATIVE
WITH YOUR USE OF MATERIALS.
AWESOME JOB.
- THANK YOU. [laughs]
- THE WINNER
FOR THIS CHALLENGE IS...
SHANNON.
- WHOO-HOO!
- THANK YOU.
- CONGRATULATIONS.
- BRAVO, SHANNON.
- I'M SUPER EXCITED.
THIS ACTUALLY MEANS THAT I HAVE
SOME TYPE OF AN ADVANTAGE
OVER THE OTHER PAINTERS.
- WELL DONE.
- THANKS SO MUCH.
- SO YOU READY TO HEAR
ABOUT YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE?
- OH, YEAH.
- YES.
- SO NOW THAT YOU'VE FACED
YOUR DEEPEST FEARS,
IT'S TIME TO FOCUS
ON YOUR INNER STRENGTHS.
FOR THIS CONCEPT CHALLENGE,
YOU'LL BE CREATING
YOUR OWN PERSONAL SUPERHERO.
- YEAH!
OH, MY GOSH,
I LOVE SUPERHEROES.
- FREAKIN' COOL, MAN.
THIS IS GONNA BE BADASS.
- THIS CHALLENGE ISN'T
JUST ABOUT ANY SUPERHERO.
THIS SUPERHERO
NEEDS TO BE BASED ON YOU.
AND THIS TIME AROUND,
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR CHOICE
OF A MALE OR FEMALE MODEL
SO YOUR SUPERHERO
CAN BE EITHER SEX.
YOU WILL HAVE FOUR HOURS
TO CREATE
THIS CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
- FOUR HOURS IS NOT
A LOT OF TIME TO DO ANYTHING.
- THE WINNER
OF THIS CHALLENGE
WILL WIN
$5,000 OF GLITTER
FROM GLIMMER BODY ART...
- [gasps]
- TO BRING OUT THAT SPARKLE
AND SHINE.
NICOLE IS FREAKING OUT
RIGHT NOW.
- OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD, $5,000 WORTH
OF FREAKING GLITTER.
OH, MY GOD.
- SHANNON, YOU HAVE
A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR WINNING
THE FIRST CHALLENGE.
TECHNICALLY, IT'S LESS
OF AN ADVANTAGE FOR YOU
AND MORE OF A DISADVANTAGE
FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
- DUDE, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
COME THE [bleep] ON, MAN.
- SHANNON, YOU HAVE
A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR WINNING
THE FIRST CHALLENGE.
TECHNICALLY, IT'S LESS
OF AN ADVANTAGE FOR YOU
AND MORE OF A DISADVANTAGE
FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE
30 MINUTES OF TIME
AWAY FROM ONE
OF YOUR COMPETITORS.
- I WOULD NOT WANT
THAT ADVANTAGE.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE
THAT DECISION.
IF IT WAS ME, I PROBABLY
WOULD JUST FORFEIT IT.
- YOU HAVE
UNTIL THE 2-HOUR MARK
TO DECIDE WHO GETS 30 MINUTES
TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM.
- SWEET.
- WOW.
- OH, THAT'S HORRIBLE.
- I HAVE ONE OF TWO OPTIONS.
I CAN EITHER TAKE 30 MINUTES
OFF OF THE STRONGEST PAINTERS,
OR I CAN WAIT TO TAKE 30 MINUTES
OFF THE WEAKEST PAINTER'S PIECE.
I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
[upbeat dance music]
- GUYS, I HAD
A LOT OF FUN TODAY.
- I COULD REALLY SEE YOU IN THE
WOODS, LIKE, ALL JUST LIKE...
- I KNOW, IT WAS SCARY.
- OKAY, WHO WAS SURPRISED
BY STUFF ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD?
- IT'S LIKE THE ONE THING--
- I WASN'T--
- LIKE, IT'S MY ONE LITTLE
COOL THING THAT I CAN DO.
- HERE COMES MYTHICA
WITH THE MYTHICA SHOW.
- IF I'M GONNA SHOW
MY MAD SKILLS,
I'M GONNA SHOW
MY MAD SKILLS.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU PAINT IT
BEFORE YOU PUT IT
ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD?
- I KNOW, BUT I ONLY--
I COULD ONLY SACRIFICE
SO MUCH TIME, YEAH.
- IT WAS REALLY CREATIVE.
- WELL, APPARENTLY
NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH.
OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE MADE--
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE MADE
TOP THREE.
- IT JUST WASN'T
THE BEST CREATIVE.
- YOU KNOW WHY
YOU DIDN'T MAKE TOP THREE?
YOU DIDN'T REALLY DIVE
DEEP INSIDE OF MYTHICA.
YOU--IT WAS, LIKE,
VERY, LIKE SURFACE.
- THE PAINT DIDN'T MATCH
YOUR DESCRIPTION.
- RIGHT.
- RIGHT.
- WELL, YOU'VE GOT
THAT FREAKIN' ADVANTAGE.
- I DON'T--I REALLY DON'T KNOW
UNTIL TOMORROW. IT JUST DEPENDS.
I'M OBVIOUSLY GONNA TRY TO PLAY
THAT MOVE STRATEGICALLY
SO THAT I GET TO STAY.
- I DON'T WANNA GO HOME
AND BE HOMELESS AGAIN.
- IT'S NOT
A FINANCIAL COMPETITION.
I'M JUST AS FREAKIN' BROKE
AS THE NEXT PERSON.
WE'RE ALL ARTISTS.
I AM SO SICK OF HER SAYING,
"I SLEEP IN A LAUNDROMAT,
AND I HAVE NO MONEY."
IT'S LIKE, "I DON'T HAVE
ANY MONEY EITHER."
- I DON'T WANNA HAVE
A PISSING CONTEST...
- RIGHT.
- OF--OF WHO'S--
- I DON'T EITHER.
- I'VE HAD IT.
I FEEL THAT TOTAL DISCONNECT
FROM THE ENTIRE GROUP.
THAT'S WHEN THE SWITCH
JUST FLIPS IN ME.
ALL MY ANGER, RAGE, FRUSTRATION,
EVERYTHING COMES OUT.
AAH!
- WHOA.
- [crying]
- OH, YEAH.
THE CONCEPT CHALLENGE TODAY
IS TO CREATE A SUPERHERO
THAT REPRESENTS US.
- [sighs]
AFTER LETTING THE DEMON OUT
LAST NIGHT,
I ACTUALLY FEEL REALLY GOOD.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
I'M GONNA BUILD MY ENTIRE
SUPERHERO AROUND THE POSSIBILITY
THAT I'M GONNA GET THE 30
MINUTES TAKEN AWAY FROM ME.
- GOOD MORNING, PAINTERS.
all: GOOD MORNING.
- AS YOU CAN SEE,
I HAVE ONE
OF OUR ESTEEMED JUDGES, RU.
- GOOD MORNING, RU.
- GOOD MORNING.
- AND I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO OUR VERY SPECIAL
GUEST JUDGE.
- OOH.
- SHE TWIRLED HER WAY
INTO OUR LIVING ROOMS
AND INTO OUR HEARTS
AS ONE OF AMERICA'S
MOST ICONIC SUPERHEROES.
PLEASE WELCOME
WONDER WOMAN HERSELF...
- AAH!
- LYNDA CARTER.
[cheering]
- HI!
- OH, MY GOD!
- [laughs]
- THAT JUST ROCKED MY WORLD.
- HELL YEAH.
- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
THAT'S LYNDA CARTER.
IT'S WONDER WOMAN.
THAT'S IT.
MY BUCKET LIST IS FULL.
- [laughs]
- YOU OKAY, SHANNON?
- OH.
I'M BARELY HANGING BY A THREAD.
- IT'S GOOD, THOUGH.
IN A GOOD WAY, RIGHT?
- YEAH.
LYNDA, YOU HAVE BEEN MY HERO
FOR YEARS.
A SYMBOL OF WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT
AND, YOU KNOW...
- AW.
- GRACE.
- THAT'S SO SWEET.
- SO, LYNDA,
WHAT MAKES
FOR A GREAT SUPERHERO?
- I THINK IT COMES
FROM THE INSIDE,
WHAT YOUR OWN IMAGINATION IS
ABLE TO BRING TO THAT CHARACTER.
THAT IS REALLY
WHAT WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOU.
- YOU WILL HAVE FOUR HOURS
TO CREATE THIS SUPERHERO.
BUT REMEMBER,
SHANNON HAS THE POWER
TO TAKE 30 OF THOSE MINUTES
AWAY FROM YOU.
SHANNON, WE'LL CHECK IN
WITH YOU LATER
TO SEE WHAT YOUR STRATEGY IS.
- OKAY.
- YOUR TIME STARTS NOW.
- HELLO.
- HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.
- WE'RE GONNA BE PINK
AND PURPLE GLITTER GALORE.
- I'M NATALIE.
THE SUPERHERO
IS ME AS A SUPERHERO.
I WANT MINE
TO LOOK LIKE SUPERMAN,
SO I DECIDE TO GO WITH A MAN.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING
A FEMALE SUPERHERO?
- UM, OKAY.
- COOL! OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED.
- VERY COOL.
- [bleep]
JUST STAY RIGHT THERE.
DON'T MOVE.
MY SUPERHERO IS GOING TO BE
A SYMBIOTIC UNITY
OF MY WIFE'S TECH
AND MY CREATIVITY.
MY WIFE IS PART JAPANESE,
AND SHE LOVES HER HERITAGE,
SO I CHOOSE TO GO WITH
A RISING SUN MOTIF.
- YOU GOTTA BE FAST.
SO TODAY'S CHALLENGE,
I'M THINKING SUPER DADDY.
BE FOCUSED.
- UH-HUH.
- SUPER DAD HAS TO BE
A MAN OF STEEL.
DO ME A FAVOR,
STEP TO THE LEFT FOR ME.
SO MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE
FOR THIS PIECE
IS ACHIEVING THE METAL LOOK.
- I FEEL LIKE
I'M DIPPED IN SILVER.
- IT'S KIND OF HARD CREATING ALL
OF THE LINES IN THE STRUCTURE.
THAT'S A LOT OF WORK.
- YEAH.
both: [laugh]
- [indistinct]
- AND THAT EDGER.
- I HAVEN'T SEEN MY BOYFRIEND
IN A WHILE,
AND MY MALE MODEL
IS BEAUTIFUL.
- I WAS LIKE, "YOUR HANDS ARE
[indistinct]."
- PROBABLY MORE MUSCLES
THAN I'VE EVER BODY PAINTED ON.
GIVE ME THAT FLEX.
YEAH!
IT'S YUMMY-LOOKING.
[laughs]
I'M SORRY I KEEP GETTIN' ALL,
LIKE, SILLY.
- CALM DOWN, NATALIE.
CALM DOWN.
- EVERYTHING TODAY IS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROPHECY.
MY SUPERHERO IS PRISMATICA.
SHE IS A CELESTIAL BEING
THAT HEALS
AND FIGHTS DEMONS.
I'M DOING CELESTIAL GOLD.
MY STRATEGY FOR TODAY
IS TO GO SIMPLE.
THESE PROSTHETIC FLOWERS
ARE GOING TO HELP ME SAVE TIME,
BECAUSE I WON'T HAVE TO PAINT
AS MUCH DETAIL.
- I'M DEFINITELY WORRIED
ABOUT SHANNON'S ADVANTAGE,
BECAUSE SHANNON AND I
HAVE VERY SIMILAR STYLES.
IT BETTER NOT BE ME.
I WILL BE LIVID.
- THERE WE GO.
- GET OUTTA HERE!
[chuckles]
- HELLO.
SHANNON.
- HI.
- WOW. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
GOING ON THERE.
- YEAH.
- TELL ME ABOUT IT.
- THE RESCUE THAT I DO WORK FOR
IS CALLED SECOND CHANCE RESCUE.
IT'S SUCH A HUGE PART
OF MY LIFE.
SO THIS IS RESCUER ROSIE,
AND HER JOB IS
TO SEEK OUT ANIMALS
THAT NEED ASSISTANCE...
- WOW.
- AND PROTECT THEM.
- I LOOK AT SHANNON'S PIECE.
THAT DOESN'T SAY SUPERHERO
TO ME, WHATSOEVER.
IT LOOKS LIKE A COLLAGE
OF LITTLE ANIMALS.
- THANK YOU, SHANNON.
- SURE. SURE.
- HI, MYTHICA.
- HI.
- CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT
HER SPECIAL SUPERPOWERS ARE?
- CHANNELING THE DIVINE.
IT'S LIKE IF YOU AREN'T
CONNECTED TO THE DIVINE,
YOU HAVE NO POWER.
- I DON'T THINK MYTHICA'S
LOOKS LIKE A SUPERHERO.
IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE,
LIKE, HIPPIE PAINTINGS
THAT YOU'D SEE AT,
LIKE, A FESTIVAL IN OREGON.
- NOW, ARE YOU
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
ABOUT POTENTIALLY GETTING
30 MINUTES TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU?
- YES.
THAT'S WHY I'VE WRITTEN IT
INTO MY PLAN,
MADE A SAFEGUARD FOR THAT.
- I'D LOVE TO GIVE IT
TO MYTHICA,
BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY ONE
IN THE HOUSE
THAT I DON'T
REALLY JIVE WITH.
BUT DUTCH IS REALLY
MY BIGGEST COMPETITION TO BEAT,
BECAUSE HE CAN REALLY
PAINT THE [bleep] OUT OF STUFF.
- HELLO, DUTCH.
- OH, HI.
- HI.
- SO WHO IS YOUR SUPERHERO?
- WELL, HER NAME
IS KAMIKAZE.
SHE'S AN INDESTRUCTIBLE ROBOT.
I WANTED TO REPRESENT
THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN MY WIFE AND I.
SHE IS MY HERO,
AND WE ARE A PERFECT...
- AW.
- TEAM.
- WITH SHANNON HAVING
THAT EXTRA POWER,
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THAT?
- I'M A LITTLE WORRIED.
I MEAN, IF I WERE UP AGAINST ME,
I WOULD PROBABLY WANT
TO TAKE SOME TIME AWAY FROM ME.
- I DO LIKE YOUR CONFIDENCE.
- WOMANIFESTO
IS MY SUPERHERO'S NAME.
- WAIT, EXSQUEEZE ME?
SO LET ME
GET THIS STRAIGHT.
YOU CHOSE A MAN
TO BE YOUR FEMALE SUPERHERO.
- I DID.
WE ARE ALL EQUAL,
SO MY MODEL KIND OF JUST,
LIKE, REPRESENTS THAT.
- WELL, I THINK THAT
YOUR CREATIVITY IS OUTSTANDING.
- THANK YOU, NATALIE.
- THANKS, GUYS.
- THIS IS VAUDEVILLAIN.
HER SUPERPOWERS ARE BEING ABLE
TO POSE AS A VILLAIN
TO DISTRACT THE VILLAIN
BY THROWING A FISTFUL OF GLITTER
IN THE AIR
AND PERFORMING, SINGING,
AND DANCING FOR THEM.
- INFILTRATE THE VILLAIN'S LAIR.
- EXACTLY.
- YES.
- EXACTLY.
- NICOLE, IT'S A WOMAN. SHE
SHOULD BE MORE BADASS THAN THAT.
- WHILE SHE IS DISTRACTING
THESE VILLAINS,
HER OTHER SUPERHERO FRIENDS
ARE CLEANING UP
WHAT THEY'VE DESTROYED.
- ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT TIME?
- I AM, ESPECIALLY
IF SHANNON DECIDES TO...
- GO AFTER YOU?
- TAKE THE GLITTER FOR HERSELF
AND TAKE AWAY MY 30 MINUTES.
- THANK YOU, NICOLE.
HI, GEAR.
- HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
- IS THIS INSPIRED
BY YOUR DEMON
FROM THE LAST CHALLENGE?
- NO.
THIS ONE IS BASED ON
THE TETRAHEDRON.
- TETRA WHO?
- TETRA-- [laughs]
TETRAHEDRON.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
- YEAH, THIS IS A TETRAHEDRON.
- OH.
SO WHAT ARE HER SUPERPOWERS?
- WELL, SHE'S GOT THE POWER
TO INCREASE MY POWERS
OF CREATIVITY,
YOU KNOW, TRANSFORMATION
AND ENERGY.
- I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE EVER
GONNA DECIDE ON THIS ONE.
GOD.
- YOU WAIT.
- HELLO, FELLE.
WHO'S YOUR SUPERHERO?
- HE'S SUPER DADDY.
I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST
PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD TODAY
IS LITTLE GIRLS DON'T HAVE,
YOU KNOW, FATHERS.
YOU KNOW, I WAS 14
WHEN MY SON WAS BORN.
- WOW.
- I WAS EXTREMELY YOUNG,
AND I JUST WASN'T THERE LIKE
I THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
BUT GOD GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE
WHEN I HAD MY DAUGHTER.
REALLY ONE
OF THE HARDEST THINGS
THAT I'VE EVER HAD TO DO
IN LIFE--
RELEASE MY DAUGHTER
INTO THE WORLD.
- SO THIS IS THE SUPERHERO THAT
WILL PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER?
- PROTECT ALL
THE LITTLE GIRLS
THAT DON'T HAVE A FATHER.
- AW.
- WOW.
- SHANNON,
ARE YOU READY TO TELL US
WHICH ONE OF YOUR COMPETITORS
WILL BE LOSING 30 MINUTES?
- YES.
- I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS
BECAUSE I KNOW
I'M GOING TO NEED THAT TIME
TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER.
- NO OFFENSE.
- IT BETTER NOT BE ME,
BECAUSE I NEED THAT TIME.
[suspenseful music]
- MYTHICA,
YOU WILL BE LOSING 30 MINUTES.
- THE WAY THAT SHANNON SAYS IT
IS PAINFUL.
NO HESITATION.
"YEP, I KNOW EXACTLY
WHO I'M GONNA DO THIS TO."
- OKAY, MYTHICA, PLEASE
TAKE A SEAT FOR 30 MINUTES.
- I'M SAD.
I'M ANGRY.
I'M FRUSTRATED.
THIS COULD BE MY LAST DAY
AND NO ONE CAN EVEN LOOK AT ME.
I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK
TO A LIFE
WHERE I HAVE TO BEG
FOR MY SURVIVAL.
- SHANNON, WHICH ONE
OF YOUR COMPETITORS
WILL BE LOSING 30 MINUTES?
- NO OFFENSE.
MYTHICA, YOU WILL BE LOSING
30 MINUTES.
- OKAY, MYTHICA, I'M SORRY.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN
AND TAKE A SEAT FOR 30 MINUTES.
- I DECIDED THAT I'M GOING
TO GIVE IT TO MYTHICA
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I AM HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH HER.
THAT COULD BE THE KILL BLOW
FOR HER
AND HELP ME
GO ONE MORE WEEK.
- I WANT SHANNON TO GO HOME
AT THIS POINT
BECAUSE THE TENSION
IS JUST SO BIG.
FOR THE 30 MINUTES,
I KNOW
I HAVE TO SHUT OUT THE WORLD
AND MEDITATE.
- AWESOME.
- I'M FEELING
REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
I'M LOOKING AT WHAT
I'VE ACCOMPLISHED TO THIS POINT,
AND I FEEL I HAVE
MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME
TO PULL OFF
WHAT I HAD ENVISIONED.
- THIS IS MY CHALLENGE,
AND IT IS DESTINED FOR ME.
IT IS DESTINED FOR ME TO WIN
$5,000 WORTH OF GLITTER.
ALL RIGHT,
TURN THAT WAY FOR ME.
I DECIDE TO DO
A FULL SUIT OF GLITTER.
THERE IS SO MUCH GLITTER
ON HERE RIGHT NOW.
I WANT TO WIN THE GLITTER
SO BAD!
IF SOMEBODY ELSE WINS IT,
I'M PROBABLY GONNA CRY.
[laughs]
- OKAY, MYTHICA,
YOUR 30-MINUTE TIME-OUT IS UP.
YOU CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
- THE 30 MINUTES
REALLY HURTS ME
BECAUSE I HAVEN'T DONE
ANY DETAIL WORK ON THE WINGS
AT THIS POINT.
AND I WAS GOING TO GO BACK AND
WORK SOME MORE ON THE FLOWERS
ON THE FRONT,
AND I HAVE TO STOP DOING THAT
AND WORK ON THE ARMS
AND LEGS.
YOU CAN'T BE PRISMATICA
WITHOUT PRISMS.
- CHECK IT OUT.
WE GOT 45 MINUTES.
PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL.
LET'S DO THIS!
I'M LOOKING AROUND,
AND I'M LIKE,
"ALL RIGHT,
ME, FELLE, AND DUTCH."
WE GOT SOME PRETTY STRONG PIECES
OVER HERE,
SO I THINK THEY'RE MY BIGGEST
COMPETITION IN THIS ONE.
- WE GOT TEN MINUTES LEFT.
TEN MINUTES.
- PUT A LITTLE GLUE ON HIM,
LET HIM COOL OFF.
I'VE BEEN IN THE TOP
A FEW TIMES.
IT'S KIND OF
GETTING FRUSTRATING.
I NEED A WIN TO FEEL LIKE
I'M IN THE GAME.
FIVE MINUTES LEFT.
- I'LL PUT THE GLUE ON ONE
AND THEN LET YOU WORK ON THAT,
AND THEN I'LL PUT THE GLUE
ON THE OTHER ONE.
- THE FLOWERS THAT MYTHICA
PASTED, THEY'RE ALREADY PREMADE.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO
CREATE THEM,
AND I DON'T THINK THE JUDGES
ARE GONNA LIKE THAT.
- ONE MINUTE LEFT!
- WHOO-HOO!
- TURN TO THE FRONT.
I'M WORRIED BECAUSE I MIGHT BE
PUTTING TOO MANY IDEAS
ON MY ONE CONCEPT.
- FIVE, FOUR, THREE,
TWO, ONE.
[timer beeps]
- OKAY, PAINTERS,
YOUR TIME IS UP.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
- YOU FEEL THIS KIND OF
SICK FEELING IN MY STOMACH.
NATALIE HAS
AN AMAZING PIECE
AND SO DOES NICOLE, AND THEY
ALL LOOK LIKE SUPERHEROES,
AND MINE DOESN'T.
I'M REALLY CONCERNED THAT
I COULD GO HOME AT THIS POINT.
- WELCOME, PAINTERS.
FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
YOU HAD FOUR HOURS
TO CREATE A SUPERHERO VERSION
OF YOURSELF.
I WANT TO WELCOME BACK
OUR ESTEEMED JUDGES--
CRAIG TRACY,
ROBIN SLONINA,
RUPAUL CHARLES,
AND OUR VERY SPECIAL GUEST JUDGE
FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
WONDER WOMAN HERSELF,
LYNDA CARTER.

THE JUDGES ARE GONNA WANT
TO TALK
TO EACH
AND EVERY ONE OF YOU.
NATALIE, COME ON UP.
TELL US ABOUT
YOUR SUPERHERO.
- THIS IS WOMANIFESTO.
- I LOVE THOSE PALETTES
ON THE BACK.
- THANKS.
- THEY'RE FANTASTIC.
LOVE ALL THE COLORS, AND I LOVE
THE POWER OF THE PIGTAIL.
- NATALIE, I THINK MAYBE YOU HAD
A LITTLE TOO MUCH FUN.
IT'S HARD TO TAKE IT SERIOUS
FOR ME,
AND I WANT A LITTLE BIT OF THAT
IN A PIECE LIKE THIS.
- OKAY.
- NICOLE, I LOVE THE HEART
ON THE BACK.
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE WEAR
THEIR HEART ON THEIR SLEEVE.
SHE WEARS HER HEART
ON HER ASS.
[laughter]
- SHE DOES.
IT WAS THE PERFECT SHAPE.
- BUT IT FEELS A LITTLE CHEAP
AND CHEESY
AND, YOU KNOW, BURLESQUEY.
- I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED
ABOUT HER POWER.
IT DOESN'T SEEM EMPOWERING.
- THAT'S KIND OF
WHAT I READ INTO IT.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED
THAT SHE LEFT THE DIRTY WORK
FOR THE REST OF US.
- VISUALLY, I FIND THIS
REALLY STUNNING.
I THINK THAT IT HAS A REALLY
BEAUTIFUL BACKSTORY, TOO.
TECHNICALLY, I THINK THIS IS
A GREAT PIECE.
- I THINK IT IS BRILLIANT.
THERE'S DEPTH,
AND I'M SO IMPRESSED.
SHE COULD DEFINITELY BE
ON A MOVIE POSTER.
- THANK YOU.
- I LOVE
HOW YOU'VE INTEGRATED YOURSELF
AND A FEMALE CHARACTER.
I THINK THIS WAS
A PERFECT CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
- GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SHANNON, YOU GOT
A MEGA-CONCEPT HERE.
I FEEL THAT IT'S JUST
A LITTLE TOO MUCH
OF A BUNCH OF PIECES...
- MM-HMM.
- INSTEAD OF A UNIFIED WHOLE.
- MM-HMM.
- THE EXECUTION OF THE PAINT
FEELS MORE LIKE A NARRATION
OF THE EXPERIENCE
OF RESCUING,
RATHER THAN ROSIE BEING
A SUPERHERO.
- MM-HMM.
- MOTOWN FELLE.
- YES.
- I LOVE THIS.
- THANK YOU.
- I THINK
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
I KEEP DISCOVERING INTRICATE
DETAILS TO THIS
THAT REALLY TELL THE STORY.
WELL DONE.
- THANK YOU.
- FELLE,
YOU CONTINUE TO WORK
MONOCHROMATICALLY...
- MM-HMM.
- IN THIS COMPETITION.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
A LITTLE BIT OF POP.
- RIGHT.
- I THINK YOU DID
DIG DEEP HERE,
AND YOU CAME UP WITH A BEAUTIFUL
PIECE IN THE PROCESS.
- THANK YOU.
- I GOT CHILLS.
- YES.
- I'M REALLY JUST BLOWN AWAY.
- THANK YOU, LYNDA.
IT WAS A VERY PERSONAL CHALLENGE
FOR ME.
TO ANY FATHER
THAT'S OUT THERE
THAT'S NOT TAKING CARE
OF THEIR KIDS,
YOU NEED TO INVEST
AND CREATE AS MANY MEMORIES
AS YOU CAN WITH YOUR CHILD.
[voice breaks]
WHOO!
[laughs]
- OOH,
PREACH THIS EVENING.
- OKAY,
THANK YOU, FELLE.
- OH, THANK YOU.
- MYTHICA,
I WAS SURPRISED
AT HOW MUCH
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PIECE.
- BUT WHEN I REALIZED THAT THOSE
FLOWERS ARE ACTUALLY APPLIQUÉS,
I WAS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED,
BECAUSE AT THIS STAGE OF THE
COMPETITION IT'S GETTING TOUGH.
I'M JUST WONDERING
IF YOU JUST KEPT THE PAINTING
A LITTLE TOO SIMPLE
ON THIS.
- I HAD
A LITTLE BIT LESS TIME
THAN I THOUGHT
I WAS GOING TO HAVE.
- BUT IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING
THAT WAS IN YOUR SKETCH
IS--IS REPRESENTED HERE.
- YES. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT--THAT, YOU KNOW,
I GOT THE BASICS.
I KNEW THAT SOME PIECES
WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPROMISED.
- GEAR, I THINK YOUR WORK
IS BEAUTIFUL.
I WOULD DEFINITELY PUT IT
IN THE GENRE
OF SUPERHERO.
- THANK YOU.
- NOW, WERE YOU
AT ALL INSPIRED
BY DUTCH'S HAIR?
- NO RELATION.
I KNOW THEY'RE VISUAL, BUT NO.
- IT SO REPRESENTS
YOUR PERSONALITY...
- RIGHT.
- WILD AND FULL OF LIGHT
AND THE COLORS
REALLY SPEAK TO ME.
- THANK YOU.
- THIS DOES LOOK
A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR...
- GOTCHA.
- TO THE FEAR CHALLENGE.
WHAT OTHER COLORS
ARE IN YOUR BOX OF CRAYONS?
- THANK YOU, GEAR.
PAINTERS, YOU'VE GIVEN
THE JUDGES A LOT TO THINK ABOUT.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF YOU
WILL BE GOING HOME TODAY.
- I COULD WIN GLITTER,
OR I COULD GO HOME.
AND I DON'T WANNA GO HOME.
- SO, JUDGES, WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT THE PAINTINGS?
- I LOVED FELLE'S WORK.
WE FINALLY SAW FELLE.
- HIS NARRATIVE
WAS JUST AS DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL
AS HIS WORK.
- AND WHAT A GREAT MESSAGE
TO THE WORLD
THAT HE'S TRYING TO EXPRESS.
- EVERY TIME I SEE A BUTTERFLY
FROM NOW ON,
I'M GONNA THINK OF FELLE.
- AND WHAT ABOUT
DUTCH'S SUPERHERO?
- THE DETAIL THAT HE GOT
ON THE ARMS...
- YES!
- LIKE, JUST THAT HANDPIECE,
THAT LOOKED LIKE
IT WAS JUMPING OFF HER SKIN.
- YOU'RE SO RIGHT.
- THAT'S A SUPERHERO I WANT
TO LAND WHEN THERE'S A CRISIS.
RIGHT?
- BUT WHICH OF THE TWO
IS MORE CREATIVE?
FELLE OR DUTCH?
I MEAN, THEY'RE REALLY
NECK AND NECK HERE.
- AND HOW ABOUT GEAR?
- I THINK THAT
HIS WORK IS PHENOMENAL.
I'M IMPRESSED
WITH THE WHOLE THING.
- ULTIMATELY,
HE FULFILLED THE CHALLENGE.
I MEAN, THAT CHARACTER
COULD HAVE POPPED...
- YEAH, SURE.
- RIGHT OUT OF A COMIC BOOK.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- NICOLE'S PIECE WAS
DISTRACTING.
- THAT WAS KIND OF WEIRD
THAT SHE WOULD SAY...
- YEAH.
- I'M THE DISTRACTER,
BUT THEN THE OTHER ONES COME IN
TO CLOSE THE DEAL.
- THERE'S A THING ABOUT LETTING
SOMEONE ELSE DO YOUR WORK.
- YES! YEAH.
- THAT--
- IT WAS A BIT WEAK.
- WHAT KIND OF SUPERHERO
IS THAT?
- NATALIE'S WORK--
SHE GOT A LITTLE LOST.
- I ENJOYED THE RISK
THAT SHE TOOK
TO TRY TO MAKE THAT WORK.
- I THOUGHT NATALIE'S PIECE
WAS A LOT OF FUN.
LISTEN, I'M A SUCKER
FOR A CROSS-DRESSER.
both: [laugh]
- SHANNON WANTS TO PUT
EVERYTHING INTO HER DESIGN.
IF SHE HADN'T EXPLAINED
THAT PIECE,
I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN...
- RIGHT.
- WHAT THAT THING WAS.
- RIGHT.
- AS A NARRATIVE,
IT WAS FANTASTIC.
BUT THE CHALLENGE
WAS TO CREATE A SUPERHERO.
- AND HOW ABOUT MYTHICA?
- OVERALL,
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS MAGICAL.
BUT IT WAS JUST
TOO SIMPLY PAINTED
FOR THIS POINT
IN THIS COMPETITION.
- MM-HMM.
- WOULD IT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT
FOR YOU IF SHE WOULD HAVE
PAINTED THOSE CHAKRAS?
- YES.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- YES.
- SO, JUDGES, HAVE YOU MADE
YOUR DECISION?
- YEAH.
- I THINK SO.
- YEAH.
- DONE.
- IN FOUR HOURS, YOU ALL MANAGED
TO CREATE A SUPERHERO
THAT WAS BOTH PERSONAL
AND OUT OF THIS WORLD.
EVEN THOUGH ALL OF YOU
DID GREAT WORK,
ONLY ONE OF YOU
CAN BE THE WINNER,
AND ONE OF YOU
WILL BE GOING HOME TONIGHT.
NATALIE,
YOU ARE SAFE.
YOU CAN GO TO THE LOUNGE.
- THANKS.
- SHANNON, MYTHICA, NICOLE,
PLEASE STEP FORWARD.
YOU ARE
THE BOTTOM THREE.
PLEASE STEP TO THE SIDE.
- THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
BEING IN THE BOTTOM THREE,
AND IT IS THE WORST FEELING
IN THE WORLD.
- IT FEELS REALLY HORRIBLE TO BE
IN THE BOTTOM THREE AGAIN.
- DUTCH, GEAR, FELLE.
CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU ARE THE TOP THREE.
WELL DONE, GENTLEMEN.
YOU REALLY ROSE TO THE TOP
THIS WEEK.
- THIS IS SO EXCITING FOR ME
JUST TO WITNESS
YOUR IMMENSE TALENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- EACH OF YOU WERE JUST
THE CONSUMMATE STORYTELLERS
HERE.
YOU'RE ALL SUPERHEROES.
- THANK YOU.

CREATED GREAT SUPERHEROES,
BUT ONE SOARED HIGHER
THAN THE REST.

IS...
FELLE.
- YAY!

- YOU'VE JUST WON
$5,000 WORTH OF GLITTER

AND SHINE IN YOUR FUTURE WORK.

OF THAT--ALL THAT GLITTER.
- GOOD.

HONESTLY, THANK YOU.
IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.
- ALL THREE OF YOU ARE SAFE.
YOU MAY HEAD BACK
TO THE LOUNGE.
- THANK YOU.
NOW WE TALKIN'. NOW WE FINALLY,
YOU KNOW, GETTING TO IT.
I WON THIS CHALLENGE.
I REALLY PULLED IT OFF.
- BOYS, CONGRATS.
CONGRATS!

I'M A COMPETITOR,

JUST EVEN BEING ASKED
TO BE A PART OF THIS COMPETITION
HAS CHANGED ME.
I'M NOW WORTHY.
I'VE BEEN VALIDATED.
I'VE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED.
I TOTALLY ACCOMPLISHED
WHAT I SET OUT TO DO
WHEN I CAME HERE
TO SKIN WARS.
I REALLY WANTED
TO SHOW PEOPLE
THAT BODY PAINTING,
REALLY, IT'S SO MUCH DEEPER
THAN THE SKIN
AND JUST ART, BUT THAT THERE'S
A SPIRITUAL COMPONENT TO IT.
AS BODY PAINTERS,
WE HELP HEAL PEOPLE.
AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU GUYS
HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF ME.
THERE'S NO WAY.

WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER LAYER
TO THIS CHALLENGE.
- WHAT?!
- YEAH!
- THIS PROSTHETIC STUFF
IS AMAZING.
- FELLE'S CONCEPT IS
NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO.

LOOK AT THIS--TOO SMALL.
- TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN.
THERE ARE WEAK SPOTS
IN NATALIE'S TECHNIQUE.
- IF I GO HOME
BECAUSE THESE BOYS ARE BASTARDS,
I'M JUST GONNA HATE MYSELF.
- IT'S THE WEAKEST THING YOU'VE
PAINTED IN THIS COMPETITION.

IS THE LOSING TEAM,
WHICH ONE OF YOU
WOULD GO HOME?

- YES. YES, IT DOES.
WE ALL HAVE, LIKE,
A LIT-UP VANITY MIRROR
SITTING AT OUR STATIONS.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
THE CHALLENGE IS GONNA BE TODAY.
- THE PAST FEW CHALLENGES
HAVE REALLY PUSHED YOU
OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONES.
BUT TODAY, WE'RE TAKING THINGS
TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
THE FIRST CHALLENGE IS GOING TO
FORCE YOU TO FACE YOUR FEARS.
LITERALLY.
THE BEST WAY
TO OVERCOME YOUR FEARS
IS TO FACE THEM HEAD-ON.
THAT'S WHY,
FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
YOU WILL BE PAINTING
YOUR BIGGEST FEAR
ON YOUR OWN FACE.
- BOO.
- [laughs]
- [laughs]
- HEE HEE.
YES, YES, YES.
THIS IS GONNA BE SO COOL.
[laughs]
- I'M LIKE, "DAMN IT," I'VE
NEVER HAD TO FACE-PAINT MYSELF.
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE
OF THOSE FIRST-TIME THINGS.
- PAINTERS, THE WINNER
OF THIS CHALLENGE
WILL GET A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR THE UPCOMING
CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
YOU HAVE TWO HOURS
TO PAINT YOUR FACE AND NECK
TO COMPLETE THIS CHALLENGE.
YOUR TIME STARTS...
NOW.
- ALL RIGHT, DON'T BE SCARED.
- GOOD LUCK.
[upbeat rock music]
- I REALLY CAN'T
COME UP WITH ANYTHING
THAT I'M REALLY AFRAID OF.
WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT
THE MAJORITY COULD RELATE TO?
AND I'M THINKING
HORROR FILMS.
AND I NEED
A CLEAN SURFACE.
YOU KNOW, I NEED TO GET RID
OF THIS BEARD AND MUSTACHE
AND HAIR.
- YOU'RE SHAVING YOUR HEAD?
- THIS IS FOR $100,000.
- I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO
BE PAINTING A REPRESENTATION
OF AN EVIL BEING
FROM MY NIGHTMARES AS A KID.
- I'M AFRAID
OF LOSING MY HUMANITY
AND BECOMING A MONSTER.
EACH OF THE PIECES
THAT I PUT ON MY FACE
REPRESENTS SOMETHING THAT'S
ACTUALLY GOING ON WITH ME.
- I'M A FATHER, AND SO I FEAR
FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN,
BUT THE ONLY THING THAT TRULY
TERRIFIES ME IS SPIDERS.
ONE HOUR, FOLKS.
ONE HOUR.
GET IT ON!
- MY BOYFRIEND
IS AN OUTDOOR GUIDE.
HE HAS
A DANGEROUS PROFESSION.
MY FEAR IS
IF HE'S OUT ON THE MOUNTAIN
AND HE GETS STUCK.
THAT'S WHY I DECIDE
THAT I'M GONNA PAINT MYSELF
AS MY LOVED ONE,
BUT DEAD.
- MY BIGGEST FEAR
IS TURNING INTO AN OLD LADY,
GETTING WRINKLY,
AND NOT BEING FLEXIBLE
ANYMORE.
- BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS
TRYING TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR
WITH MY HAND, WHICH IS BLOCKING
MY VISION FROM THE MIRROR.
IT'S NOT AS EASY AS PAINTING
ON SOMEONE ELSE'S FACE.
- I CAN HANDLE RATS, CATS,
SNAKES,
BUT IF I THINK
THERE'S A SPIDER ON ME,
IT'LL JUST MAKE ME SQUEAL
LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.
- WOW, DUTCH
IS AFRAID OF SPIDERS.
THIS, LIKE, BIG DUDE
FEELS THE SAME WAY THAT I DO.
I GO OUT
ON A LOT OF INTERNET DATES.
MY MOM ALWAYS SAYS,
"PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
DON'T COME HOME
IN A BODY BAG."
MY PIECE IS ABOUT
A WORST-CASE SCENARIO.
I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED
AND LEFT FOR DEAD
IN A FOREST.
- NOT TRYING
TO SCARE EVERYBODY,
BUT WE HAVE
30 MORE MINUTES.
- THE ONE THING THAT I KNOW
THAT I CAN DO
THAT NOBODY ELSE CAN DO
IS PAINT THE BACK OF MY HEAD.
- MYTHICA'S PROSTHETIC
IS NOT PAINTED VERY WELL.
SHE'S PAINTED HER PROSTHETIC
ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD,
INSTEAD OF PAINTING IT
ON THE TABLE IN FRONT OF HER
AND THEN APPLYING IT
TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD.
[laughs]
- AAH!
- I MAKE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE
NOT TO DO ANYTHING WITH MY NECK.
I DON'T THINK
THAT ADDING ANYTHING HERE
IS GOING TO ENHANCE
WHAT I'VE DONE HERE.
- OH, MY GOD,
36 SECONDS!
- I'VE NEVER LOOKED BETTER.
- I SACRIFICED MY BEARD,
YOU KNOW, MY--MY MUSTACHE,
MY HAIR.
I BETTER WIN THIS ONE.
- OKAY, PAINTERS,
YOUR TIME IS UP.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
WOW!
- ARTISTS HAS ISSUES.
[laughter]
- HELLO. I'M SEEING
SO MANY MOVIE ICONS--
FREDDY, PINHEAD,
AND THAT--THERE'S THE JOKER.
YOU'RE A BIG FAN
OF SCARY MOVIES.
- I AM ENTERTAINED
BY HORROR MOVIES.
- HE JUST TOOK IT
VERY LITERALLY.
WHAT ARE
PEOPLE AFRAID OF?
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID
OF HORROR MOVIES.
IT WAS AN EASY WAY OUT.
- WOW.
- MY BIGGEST FEAR
IS LOSING MY HUMANITY
IN THIS COMPETITION.
I TOOK TIME TO MONSTERIZE
MY BLIND SPOT BASICALLY.
- AND, SIR,
WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
- [laughs]
- THE BIGGEST FEARS
COME FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
THE CALLS ARE COMING
FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
- SO TELL US ABOUT YOUR FEAR.
- I AM AN ARACHNOPHOBE.
- DID YOU KNOW
THAT YOU'RE NEVER MORE
THAN 6 FEET AWAY FROM A SPIDER?
- [screams]
THAT'S AWESOME. THANKS.
- HOW DO YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW?
- I'M LOVING
THE FOUR PAIRS OF EYES.
- THANK YOU.
- THIS CHALLENGE
WAS FROM THE NECK UP.
- MM-HMM.
- WAS IT A CHOICE
TO LEAVE YOUR NECK EMPTY?
- YEAH. I REALLY COULDN'T
COME UP WITH ANYTHING ELSE
THAT REALLY SAID "SPIDER,"
BELOW THE CHIN.
- THANK YOU, DUTCH.
- THANK YOU.
- HEY, NICOLE.
- WOW.
THIS CHALLENGE WENT LONGER
THAN I THOUGHT.
- I KNOW.
MY BIGGEST FEAR IS GETTING OLD.
AND WHEN I'M OLD,
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE.
all: OOH!
- WOW, GRANNY'S GOT
A GIMMICK.
- YOU DID
A REALLY BEAUTIFUL JOB
BLENDING THOSE PROSTHETICS.
- THANK YOU.
- THANK YOU, NICOLE.
- THANK YOU, GUYS, SO MUCH.
- I DATE VIA THE INTERNET.
THE NEWS IS FLOODED WITH STORIES
OF GIRLS WHO'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED.
THIS PROSTHETIC
IS ACTUALLY A CHIN PIECE
TO KIND OF MAKE IT LOOK LIKE
I'VE BEEN PUNCHED OUT.
- CAN YOU LEAN YOUR HEAD BACK
A LITTLE SO WE CAN SEE?
all: OOH.
- THAT'S BAD.
- YIKES.
- PROFILE PIC. THERE IT IS.
- HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
- WOW.
- SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE
IS A REPRESENTATION
OF CREATURES DURING DREAMS
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID.
IT'S THIS BLUE LIGHT
THAT'S INSIDE THEM,
BUT YET, ON THE OUTSIDE,
IT'S VERY FIERY AND EXOSKELETON.
- SO THAT'S ALL LIGHT
COMING FROM THE INSIDE.
- YEAH, YEAH.
YEAH.
- OKAY. THANK YOU, GEAR.
- WOW.
- IS THAT REALLY YOU?
- IT'S ME.
MY BOYFRIEND WORKS
IN THE OUTDOORS PROFESSION.
MY FEAR IS THAT
HE FREEZES TO DEATH.
- AND HAVE YOU EVER DONE
ANYTHING THIS ELABORATE
ON YOURSELF?
- I'VE NEVER DONE
THE BEARD THING, AND WE DIDN'T
HAVE ANY, LIKE, BEARD HAIR,
SO I ENDED UP USING THIS STUFF,
WHICH WAS JUST LIKE...
- MOSS.
- MOSS, YEAH.
SO, LIKE, YOU KNOW,
EVERYONE'S LIKE,
"NATALIE LOOKS LIKE
SHE'S GOING DRAG."
- YOU KNOW, YOU'RE BORN NAKED
AND THE REST IS DRAG.
- [laughs]
- THANK YOU, NATALIE.
- THANKS, GUYS.
- [sighs]
- OH, BOY. SCARY.
- YEAH, SCARY.
- AND REVEALING, TOO.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MORE INSIGHT
INTO THE PAINTERS NOW.
- SHANNON.
- OH, MY GOD.
- I MEAN, TO SHOW HERSELF
JUST HIDEOUS AND DECOMPOSING
IS PRETTY BRAVE.
- IT'S PRETTY BRAVE.
- WHAT ABOUT NATALIE?
- TALK ABOUT CREATIVE.
SHE'S GRABBING A WIG.
SHE'S GRABBING MOSS.
- YEAH.
- AND GEAR.
HIS WHOLE AESTHETIC WAS FORMED
WITH THIS CRAZY DREAM HE HAD
AS A KID.
- MM-HMM.
- HOW ABOUT NICOLE?
- WOW.
THAT'S A REAL FEAR.
- CREATING THOSE WRINKLES
AND THE LIVER SPOTS,
LIKE, I WAS BUYING IT.
- WHAT ABOUT DUTCH?
- THERE'S A GUARDED ASPECT
TO DUTCH.
AND I REALLY FELT LIKE
I GOT TO KNOW HIM BETTER.
I WISH THAT HE HAD DONE
HIS NECK, THOUGH.
- I KNOW.
- ALL RIGHT, GUYS,
WELL, YOU HAVE A TOUGH DECISION
ON YOUR HANDS.
LET'S FIND OUT
WHICH THREE PAINTERS
CONQUERED THEIR FEARS
THE MOST.
NATALIE.
SHANNON.
DUTCH.
PLEASE STEP FORWARD.
- I SEE A LOT
OF REALLY CONTRIVED PIECES,
SO I'M THINKING,
I GOT THIS IN THE BAG.
- DUTCH HAS LEFT
HIS WHOLE NECK BLANK.
THEY DIDN'T SAY,
"PAINT JUST YOUR FACE."
I DON'T THINK
THAT HE DESERVES TO WIN.
- DUTCH, IT WAS
THE PERFECT COMBINATION
OF CREATIVITY AND TECHNIQUE.
- THANK YOU.
- SHANNON,
GIRL, YOU SCARE ME.
WELL DONE.
- THANK YOU.
- NATALIE, YOU WERE SO CREATIVE
WITH YOUR USE OF MATERIALS.
AWESOME JOB.
- THANK YOU. [laughs]
- THE WINNER
FOR THIS CHALLENGE IS...
SHANNON.
- WHOO-HOO!
- THANK YOU.
- CONGRATULATIONS.
- BRAVO, SHANNON.
- I'M SUPER EXCITED.
THIS ACTUALLY MEANS THAT I HAVE
SOME TYPE OF AN ADVANTAGE
OVER THE OTHER PAINTERS.
- WELL DONE.
- THANKS SO MUCH.
- SO YOU READY TO HEAR
ABOUT YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE?
- OH, YEAH.
- YES.
- SO NOW THAT YOU'VE FACED
YOUR DEEPEST FEARS,
IT'S TIME TO FOCUS
ON YOUR INNER STRENGTHS.
FOR THIS CONCEPT CHALLENGE,
YOU'LL BE CREATING
YOUR OWN PERSONAL SUPERHERO.
- YEAH!
OH, MY GOSH,
I LOVE SUPERHEROES.
- FREAKIN' COOL, MAN.
THIS IS GONNA BE BADASS.
- THIS CHALLENGE ISN'T
JUST ABOUT ANY SUPERHERO.
THIS SUPERHERO
NEEDS TO BE BASED ON YOU.
AND THIS TIME AROUND,
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR CHOICE
OF A MALE OR FEMALE MODEL
SO YOUR SUPERHERO
CAN BE EITHER SEX.
YOU WILL HAVE FOUR HOURS
TO CREATE
THIS CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
- FOUR HOURS IS NOT
A LOT OF TIME TO DO ANYTHING.
- THE WINNER
OF THIS CHALLENGE
WILL WIN
$5,000 OF GLITTER
FROM GLIMMER BODY ART...
- [gasps]
- TO BRING OUT THAT SPARKLE
AND SHINE.
NICOLE IS FREAKING OUT
RIGHT NOW.
- OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD, $5,000 WORTH
OF FREAKING GLITTER.
OH, MY GOD.
- SHANNON, YOU HAVE
A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR WINNING
THE FIRST CHALLENGE.
TECHNICALLY, IT'S LESS
OF AN ADVANTAGE FOR YOU
AND MORE OF A DISADVANTAGE
FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
- DUDE, ARE YOU SERIOUS?
COME THE [bleep] ON, MAN.
- SHANNON, YOU HAVE
A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR WINNING
THE FIRST CHALLENGE.
TECHNICALLY, IT'S LESS
OF AN ADVANTAGE FOR YOU
AND MORE OF A DISADVANTAGE
FOR EVERYONE ELSE.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE
30 MINUTES OF TIME
AWAY FROM ONE
OF YOUR COMPETITORS.
- I WOULD NOT WANT
THAT ADVANTAGE.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE
THAT DECISION.
IF IT WAS ME, I PROBABLY
WOULD JUST FORFEIT IT.
- YOU HAVE
UNTIL THE 2-HOUR MARK
TO DECIDE WHO GETS 30 MINUTES
TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM.
- SWEET.
- WOW.
- OH, THAT'S HORRIBLE.
- I HAVE ONE OF TWO OPTIONS.
I CAN EITHER TAKE 30 MINUTES
OFF OF THE STRONGEST PAINTERS,
OR I CAN WAIT TO TAKE 30 MINUTES
OFF THE WEAKEST PAINTER'S PIECE.
I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
[upbeat dance music]
- GUYS, I HAD
A LOT OF FUN TODAY.
- I COULD REALLY SEE YOU IN THE
WOODS, LIKE, ALL JUST LIKE...
- I KNOW, IT WAS SCARY.
- OKAY, WHO WAS SURPRISED
BY STUFF ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD?
- IT'S LIKE THE ONE THING--
- I WASN'T--
- LIKE, IT'S MY ONE LITTLE
COOL THING THAT I CAN DO.
- HERE COMES MYTHICA
WITH THE MYTHICA SHOW.
- IF I'M GONNA SHOW
MY MAD SKILLS,
I'M GONNA SHOW
MY MAD SKILLS.
- WHY DIDN'T YOU PAINT IT
BEFORE YOU PUT IT
ON THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD?
- I KNOW, BUT I ONLY--
I COULD ONLY SACRIFICE
SO MUCH TIME, YEAH.
- IT WAS REALLY CREATIVE.
- WELL, APPARENTLY
NOT CREATIVE ENOUGH.
OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE MADE--
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE MADE
TOP THREE.
- IT JUST WASN'T
THE BEST CREATIVE.
- YOU KNOW WHY
YOU DIDN'T MAKE TOP THREE?
YOU DIDN'T REALLY DIVE
DEEP INSIDE OF MYTHICA.
YOU--IT WAS, LIKE,
VERY, LIKE SURFACE.
- THE PAINT DIDN'T MATCH
YOUR DESCRIPTION.
- RIGHT.
- RIGHT.
- WELL, YOU'VE GOT
THAT FREAKIN' ADVANTAGE.
- I DON'T--I REALLY DON'T KNOW
UNTIL TOMORROW. IT JUST DEPENDS.
I'M OBVIOUSLY GONNA TRY TO PLAY
THAT MOVE STRATEGICALLY
SO THAT I GET TO STAY.
- I DON'T WANNA GO HOME
AND BE HOMELESS AGAIN.
- IT'S NOT
A FINANCIAL COMPETITION.
I'M JUST AS FREAKIN' BROKE
AS THE NEXT PERSON.
WE'RE ALL ARTISTS.
I AM SO SICK OF HER SAYING,
"I SLEEP IN A LAUNDROMAT,
AND I HAVE NO MONEY."
IT'S LIKE, "I DON'T HAVE
ANY MONEY EITHER."
- I DON'T WANNA HAVE
A PISSING CONTEST...
- RIGHT.
- OF--OF WHO'S--
- I DON'T EITHER.
- I'VE HAD IT.
I FEEL THAT TOTAL DISCONNECT
FROM THE ENTIRE GROUP.
THAT'S WHEN THE SWITCH
JUST FLIPS IN ME.
ALL MY ANGER, RAGE, FRUSTRATION,
EVERYTHING COMES OUT.
AAH!
- WHOA.
- [crying]
- OH, YEAH.
THE CONCEPT CHALLENGE TODAY
IS TO CREATE A SUPERHERO
THAT REPRESENTS US.
- [sighs]
AFTER LETTING THE DEMON OUT
LAST NIGHT,
I ACTUALLY FEEL REALLY GOOD.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
I'M GONNA BUILD MY ENTIRE
SUPERHERO AROUND THE POSSIBILITY
THAT I'M GONNA GET THE 30
MINUTES TAKEN AWAY FROM ME.
- GOOD MORNING, PAINTERS.
all: GOOD MORNING.
- AS YOU CAN SEE,
I HAVE ONE
OF OUR ESTEEMED JUDGES, RU.
- GOOD MORNING, RU.
- GOOD MORNING.
- AND I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO OUR VERY SPECIAL
GUEST JUDGE.
- OOH.
- SHE TWIRLED HER WAY
INTO OUR LIVING ROOMS
AND INTO OUR HEARTS
AS ONE OF AMERICA'S
MOST ICONIC SUPERHEROES.
PLEASE WELCOME
WONDER WOMAN HERSELF...
- AAH!
- LYNDA CARTER.
[cheering]
- HI!
- OH, MY GOD!
- [laughs]
- THAT JUST ROCKED MY WORLD.
- HELL YEAH.
- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
THAT'S LYNDA CARTER.
IT'S WONDER WOMAN.
THAT'S IT.
MY BUCKET LIST IS FULL.
- [laughs]
- YOU OKAY, SHANNON?
- OH.
I'M BARELY HANGING BY A THREAD.
- IT'S GOOD, THOUGH.
IN A GOOD WAY, RIGHT?
- YEAH.
LYNDA, YOU HAVE BEEN MY HERO
FOR YEARS.
A SYMBOL OF WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT
AND, YOU KNOW...
- AW.
- GRACE.
- THAT'S SO SWEET.
- SO, LYNDA,
WHAT MAKES
FOR A GREAT SUPERHERO?
- I THINK IT COMES
FROM THE INSIDE,
WHAT YOUR OWN IMAGINATION IS
ABLE TO BRING TO THAT CHARACTER.
THAT IS REALLY
WHAT WILL MAKE OR BREAK YOU.
- YOU WILL HAVE FOUR HOURS
TO CREATE THIS SUPERHERO.
BUT REMEMBER,
SHANNON HAS THE POWER
TO TAKE 30 OF THOSE MINUTES
AWAY FROM YOU.
SHANNON, WE'LL CHECK IN
WITH YOU LATER
TO SEE WHAT YOUR STRATEGY IS.
- OKAY.
- YOUR TIME STARTS NOW.
- HELLO.
- HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING.
- WE'RE GONNA BE PINK
AND PURPLE GLITTER GALORE.
- I'M NATALIE.
THE SUPERHERO
IS ME AS A SUPERHERO.
I WANT MINE
TO LOOK LIKE SUPERMAN,
SO I DECIDE TO GO WITH A MAN.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING
A FEMALE SUPERHERO?
- UM, OKAY.
- COOL! OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED.
- VERY COOL.
- [bleep]
JUST STAY RIGHT THERE.
DON'T MOVE.
MY SUPERHERO IS GOING TO BE
A SYMBIOTIC UNITY
OF MY WIFE'S TECH
AND MY CREATIVITY.
MY WIFE IS PART JAPANESE,
AND SHE LOVES HER HERITAGE,
SO I CHOOSE TO GO WITH
A RISING SUN MOTIF.
- YOU GOTTA BE FAST.
SO TODAY'S CHALLENGE,
I'M THINKING SUPER DADDY.
BE FOCUSED.
- UH-HUH.
- SUPER DAD HAS TO BE
A MAN OF STEEL.
DO ME A FAVOR,
STEP TO THE LEFT FOR ME.
SO MY BIGGEST CHALLENGE
FOR THIS PIECE
IS ACHIEVING THE METAL LOOK.
- I FEEL LIKE
I'M DIPPED IN SILVER.
- IT'S KIND OF HARD CREATING ALL
OF THE LINES IN THE STRUCTURE.
THAT'S A LOT OF WORK.
- YEAH.
both: [laugh]
- [indistinct]
- AND THAT EDGER.
- I HAVEN'T SEEN MY BOYFRIEND
IN A WHILE,
AND MY MALE MODEL
IS BEAUTIFUL.
- I WAS LIKE, "YOUR HANDS ARE
[indistinct]."
- PROBABLY MORE MUSCLES
THAN I'VE EVER BODY PAINTED ON.
GIVE ME THAT FLEX.
YEAH!
IT'S YUMMY-LOOKING.
[laughs]
I'M SORRY I KEEP GETTIN' ALL,
LIKE, SILLY.
- CALM DOWN, NATALIE.
CALM DOWN.
- EVERYTHING TODAY IS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROPHECY.
MY SUPERHERO IS PRISMATICA.
SHE IS A CELESTIAL BEING
THAT HEALS
AND FIGHTS DEMONS.
I'M DOING CELESTIAL GOLD.
MY STRATEGY FOR TODAY
IS TO GO SIMPLE.
THESE PROSTHETIC FLOWERS
ARE GOING TO HELP ME SAVE TIME,
BECAUSE I WON'T HAVE TO PAINT
AS MUCH DETAIL.
- I'M DEFINITELY WORRIED
ABOUT SHANNON'S ADVANTAGE,
BECAUSE SHANNON AND I
HAVE VERY SIMILAR STYLES.
IT BETTER NOT BE ME.
I WILL BE LIVID.
- THERE WE GO.
- GET OUTTA HERE!
[chuckles]
- HELLO.
SHANNON.
- HI.
- WOW. THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
GOING ON THERE.
- YEAH.
- TELL ME ABOUT IT.
- THE RESCUE THAT I DO WORK FOR
IS CALLED SECOND CHANCE RESCUE.
IT'S SUCH A HUGE PART
OF MY LIFE.
SO THIS IS RESCUER ROSIE,
AND HER JOB IS
TO SEEK OUT ANIMALS
THAT NEED ASSISTANCE...
- WOW.
- AND PROTECT THEM.
- I LOOK AT SHANNON'S PIECE.
THAT DOESN'T SAY SUPERHERO
TO ME, WHATSOEVER.
IT LOOKS LIKE A COLLAGE
OF LITTLE ANIMALS.
- THANK YOU, SHANNON.
- SURE. SURE.
- HI, MYTHICA.
- HI.
- CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT
HER SPECIAL SUPERPOWERS ARE?
- CHANNELING THE DIVINE.
IT'S LIKE IF YOU AREN'T
CONNECTED TO THE DIVINE,
YOU HAVE NO POWER.
- I DON'T THINK MYTHICA'S
LOOKS LIKE A SUPERHERO.
IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE,
LIKE, HIPPIE PAINTINGS
THAT YOU'D SEE AT,
LIKE, A FESTIVAL IN OREGON.
- NOW, ARE YOU
A LITTLE BIT NERVOUS
ABOUT POTENTIALLY GETTING
30 MINUTES TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU?
- YES.
THAT'S WHY I'VE WRITTEN IT
INTO MY PLAN,
MADE A SAFEGUARD FOR THAT.
- I'D LOVE TO GIVE IT
TO MYTHICA,
BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONLY ONE
IN THE HOUSE
THAT I DON'T
REALLY JIVE WITH.
BUT DUTCH IS REALLY
MY BIGGEST COMPETITION TO BEAT,
BECAUSE HE CAN REALLY
PAINT THE [bleep] OUT OF STUFF.
- HELLO, DUTCH.
- OH, HI.
- HI.
- SO WHO IS YOUR SUPERHERO?
- WELL, HER NAME
IS KAMIKAZE.
SHE'S AN INDESTRUCTIBLE ROBOT.
I WANTED TO REPRESENT
THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN MY WIFE AND I.
SHE IS MY HERO,
AND WE ARE A PERFECT...
- AW.
- TEAM.
- WITH SHANNON HAVING
THAT EXTRA POWER,
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT THAT?
- I'M A LITTLE WORRIED.
I MEAN, IF I WERE UP AGAINST ME,
I WOULD PROBABLY WANT
TO TAKE SOME TIME AWAY FROM ME.
- I DO LIKE YOUR CONFIDENCE.
- WOMANIFESTO
IS MY SUPERHERO'S NAME.
- WAIT, EXSQUEEZE ME?
SO LET ME
GET THIS STRAIGHT.
YOU CHOSE A MAN
TO BE YOUR FEMALE SUPERHERO.
- I DID.
WE ARE ALL EQUAL,
SO MY MODEL KIND OF JUST,
LIKE, REPRESENTS THAT.
- WELL, I THINK THAT
YOUR CREATIVITY IS OUTSTANDING.
- THANK YOU, NATALIE.
- THANKS, GUYS.
- THIS IS VAUDEVILLAIN.
HER SUPERPOWERS ARE BEING ABLE
TO POSE AS A VILLAIN
TO DISTRACT THE VILLAIN
BY THROWING A FISTFUL OF GLITTER
IN THE AIR
AND PERFORMING, SINGING,
AND DANCING FOR THEM.
- INFILTRATE THE VILLAIN'S LAIR.
- EXACTLY.
- YES.
- EXACTLY.
- NICOLE, IT'S A WOMAN. SHE
SHOULD BE MORE BADASS THAN THAT.
- WHILE SHE IS DISTRACTING
THESE VILLAINS,
HER OTHER SUPERHERO FRIENDS
ARE CLEANING UP
WHAT THEY'VE DESTROYED.
- ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT TIME?
- I AM, ESPECIALLY
IF SHANNON DECIDES TO...
- GO AFTER YOU?
- TAKE THE GLITTER FOR HERSELF
AND TAKE AWAY MY 30 MINUTES.
- THANK YOU, NICOLE.
HI, GEAR.
- HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?
- IS THIS INSPIRED
BY YOUR DEMON
FROM THE LAST CHALLENGE?
- NO.
THIS ONE IS BASED ON
THE TETRAHEDRON.
- TETRA WHO?
- TETRA-- [laughs]
TETRAHEDRON.
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
- YEAH, THIS IS A TETRAHEDRON.
- OH.
SO WHAT ARE HER SUPERPOWERS?
- WELL, SHE'S GOT THE POWER
TO INCREASE MY POWERS
OF CREATIVITY,
YOU KNOW, TRANSFORMATION
AND ENERGY.
- I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE EVER
GONNA DECIDE ON THIS ONE.
GOD.
- YOU WAIT.
- HELLO, FELLE.
WHO'S YOUR SUPERHERO?
- HE'S SUPER DADDY.
I THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST
PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD TODAY
IS LITTLE GIRLS DON'T HAVE,
YOU KNOW, FATHERS.
YOU KNOW, I WAS 14
WHEN MY SON WAS BORN.
- WOW.
- I WAS EXTREMELY YOUNG,
AND I JUST WASN'T THERE LIKE
I THOUGHT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
BUT GOD GAVE ME A SECOND CHANCE
WHEN I HAD MY DAUGHTER.
REALLY ONE
OF THE HARDEST THINGS
THAT I'VE EVER HAD TO DO
IN LIFE--
RELEASE MY DAUGHTER
INTO THE WORLD.
- SO THIS IS THE SUPERHERO THAT
WILL PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER?
- PROTECT ALL
THE LITTLE GIRLS
THAT DON'T HAVE A FATHER.
- AW.
- WOW.
- SHANNON,
ARE YOU READY TO TELL US
WHICH ONE OF YOUR COMPETITORS
WILL BE LOSING 30 MINUTES?
- YES.
- I'M A LITTLE NERVOUS
BECAUSE I KNOW
I'M GOING TO NEED THAT TIME
TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER.
- NO OFFENSE.
- IT BETTER NOT BE ME,
BECAUSE I NEED THAT TIME.
[suspenseful music]
- MYTHICA,
YOU WILL BE LOSING 30 MINUTES.
- THE WAY THAT SHANNON SAYS IT
IS PAINFUL.
NO HESITATION.
"YEP, I KNOW EXACTLY
WHO I'M GONNA DO THIS TO."
- OKAY, MYTHICA, PLEASE
TAKE A SEAT FOR 30 MINUTES.
- I'M SAD.
I'M ANGRY.
I'M FRUSTRATED.
THIS COULD BE MY LAST DAY
AND NO ONE CAN EVEN LOOK AT ME.
I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK
TO A LIFE
WHERE I HAVE TO BEG
FOR MY SURVIVAL.
- SHANNON, WHICH ONE
OF YOUR COMPETITORS
WILL BE LOSING 30 MINUTES?
- NO OFFENSE.
MYTHICA, YOU WILL BE LOSING
30 MINUTES.
- OKAY, MYTHICA, I'M SORRY.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN
AND TAKE A SEAT FOR 30 MINUTES.
- I DECIDED THAT I'M GOING
TO GIVE IT TO MYTHICA
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE
I AM HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH HER.
THAT COULD BE THE KILL BLOW
FOR HER
AND HELP ME
GO ONE MORE WEEK.
- I WANT SHANNON TO GO HOME
AT THIS POINT
BECAUSE THE TENSION
IS JUST SO BIG.
FOR THE 30 MINUTES,
I KNOW
I HAVE TO SHUT OUT THE WORLD
AND MEDITATE.
- AWESOME.
- I'M FEELING
REALLY, REALLY GOOD.
I'M LOOKING AT WHAT
I'VE ACCOMPLISHED TO THIS POINT,
AND I FEEL I HAVE
MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME
TO PULL OFF
WHAT I HAD ENVISIONED.
- THIS IS MY CHALLENGE,
AND IT IS DESTINED FOR ME.
IT IS DESTINED FOR ME TO WIN
$5,000 WORTH OF GLITTER.
ALL RIGHT,
TURN THAT WAY FOR ME.
I DECIDE TO DO
A FULL SUIT OF GLITTER.
THERE IS SO MUCH GLITTER
ON HERE RIGHT NOW.
I WANT TO WIN THE GLITTER
SO BAD!
IF SOMEBODY ELSE WINS IT,
I'M PROBABLY GONNA CRY.
[laughs]
- OKAY, MYTHICA,
YOUR 30-MINUTE TIME-OUT IS UP.
YOU CAN GET BACK TO WORK.
- THE 30 MINUTES
REALLY HURTS ME
BECAUSE I HAVEN'T DONE
ANY DETAIL WORK ON THE WINGS
AT THIS POINT.
AND I WAS GOING TO GO BACK AND
WORK SOME MORE ON THE FLOWERS
ON THE FRONT,
AND I HAVE TO STOP DOING THAT
AND WORK ON THE ARMS
AND LEGS.
YOU CAN'T BE PRISMATICA
WITHOUT PRISMS.
- CHECK IT OUT.
WE GOT 45 MINUTES.
PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL.
LET'S DO THIS!
I'M LOOKING AROUND,
AND I'M LIKE,
"ALL RIGHT,
ME, FELLE, AND DUTCH."
WE GOT SOME PRETTY STRONG PIECES
OVER HERE,
SO I THINK THEY'RE MY BIGGEST
COMPETITION IN THIS ONE.
- WE GOT TEN MINUTES LEFT.
TEN MINUTES.
- PUT A LITTLE GLUE ON HIM,
LET HIM COOL OFF.
I'VE BEEN IN THE TOP
A FEW TIMES.
IT'S KIND OF
GETTING FRUSTRATING.
I NEED A WIN TO FEEL LIKE
I'M IN THE GAME.
FIVE MINUTES LEFT.
- I'LL PUT THE GLUE ON ONE
AND THEN LET YOU WORK ON THAT,
AND THEN I'LL PUT THE GLUE
ON THE OTHER ONE.
- THE FLOWERS THAT MYTHICA
PASTED, THEY'RE ALREADY PREMADE.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO
CREATE THEM,
AND I DON'T THINK THE JUDGES
ARE GONNA LIKE THAT.
- ONE MINUTE LEFT!
- WHOO-HOO!
- TURN TO THE FRONT.
I'M WORRIED BECAUSE I MIGHT BE
PUTTING TOO MANY IDEAS
ON MY ONE CONCEPT.
- FIVE, FOUR, THREE,
TWO, ONE.
[timer beeps]
- OKAY, PAINTERS,
YOUR TIME IS UP.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
- YOU FEEL THIS KIND OF
SICK FEELING IN MY STOMACH.
NATALIE HAS
AN AMAZING PIECE
AND SO DOES NICOLE, AND THEY
ALL LOOK LIKE SUPERHEROES,
AND MINE DOESN'T.
I'M REALLY CONCERNED THAT
I COULD GO HOME AT THIS POINT.
- WELCOME, PAINTERS.
FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
YOU HAD FOUR HOURS
TO CREATE A SUPERHERO VERSION
OF YOURSELF.
I WANT TO WELCOME BACK
OUR ESTEEMED JUDGES--
CRAIG TRACY,
ROBIN SLONINA,
RUPAUL CHARLES,
AND OUR VERY SPECIAL GUEST JUDGE
FOR THIS CHALLENGE,
WONDER WOMAN HERSELF,
LYNDA CARTER.

NATALIE, COME ON UP.
TELL US ABOUT

- THIS IS WOMANIFESTO.
- I LOVE THOSE PALETTES
ON THE BACK.
- THANKS.
- THEY'RE FANTASTIC.
LOVE ALL THE COLORS, AND I LOVE
THE POWER OF THE PIGTAIL.
- NATALIE, I THINK MAYBE YOU HAD
A LITTLE TOO MUCH FUN.
IT'S HARD TO TAKE IT SERIOUS
FOR ME,
AND I WANT A LITTLE BIT OF THAT
IN A PIECE LIKE THIS.
- OKAY.
- NICOLE, I LOVE THE HEART
ON THE BACK.
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE WEAR
THEIR HEART ON THEIR SLEEVE.
SHE WEARS HER HEART
ON HER ASS.
[laughter]
- SHE DOES.
IT WAS THE PERFECT SHAPE.
- BUT IT FEELS A LITTLE CHEAP
AND CHEESY
AND, YOU KNOW, BURLESQUEY.
- I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED
ABOUT HER POWER.
IT DOESN'T SEEM EMPOWERING.
- THAT'S KIND OF
WHAT I READ INTO IT.
I WAS DISAPPOINTED
THAT SHE LEFT THE DIRTY WORK
FOR THE REST OF US.
- VISUALLY, I FIND THIS
REALLY STUNNING.
I THINK THAT IT HAS A REALLY
BEAUTIFUL BACKSTORY, TOO.
TECHNICALLY, I THINK THIS IS
A GREAT PIECE.
- I THINK IT IS BRILLIANT.
THERE'S DEPTH,
AND I'M SO IMPRESSED.
SHE COULD DEFINITELY BE
ON A MOVIE POSTER.
- THANK YOU.
- I LOVE
HOW YOU'VE INTEGRATED YOURSELF
AND A FEMALE CHARACTER.
I THINK THIS WAS
A PERFECT CHALLENGE FOR YOU.
- GREAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- SHANNON, YOU GOT
A MEGA-CONCEPT HERE.
I FEEL THAT IT'S JUST
A LITTLE TOO MUCH
OF A BUNCH OF PIECES...
- MM-HMM.
- INSTEAD OF A UNIFIED WHOLE.
- MM-HMM.
- THE EXECUTION OF THE PAINT
FEELS MORE LIKE A NARRATION
OF THE EXPERIENCE
OF RESCUING,
RATHER THAN ROSIE BEING
A SUPERHERO.
- MM-HMM.
- MOTOWN FELLE.
- YES.
- I LOVE THIS.
- THANK YOU.
- I THINK
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.
I KEEP DISCOVERING INTRICATE
DETAILS TO THIS
THAT REALLY TELL THE STORY.
WELL DONE.
- THANK YOU.
- FELLE,
YOU CONTINUE TO WORK
MONOCHROMATICALLY...
- MM-HMM.
- IN THIS COMPETITION.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
A LITTLE BIT OF POP.
- RIGHT.
- I THINK YOU DID
DIG DEEP HERE,
AND YOU CAME UP WITH A BEAUTIFUL
PIECE IN THE PROCESS.
- THANK YOU.
- I GOT CHILLS.
- YES.
- I'M REALLY JUST BLOWN AWAY.
- THANK YOU, LYNDA.
IT WAS A VERY PERSONAL CHALLENGE
FOR ME.
TO ANY FATHER
THAT'S OUT THERE
THAT'S NOT TAKING CARE

YOU NEED TO INVEST

AS YOU CAN WITH YOUR CHILD.
[voice breaks]
WHOO!
[laughs]
- OOH,
PREACH THIS EVENING.
- OKAY,
THANK YOU, FELLE.
- OH, THANK YOU.
- MYTHICA,
I WAS SURPRISED
AT HOW MUCH
I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PIECE.
- BUT WHEN I REALIZED THAT THOSE
FLOWERS ARE ACTUALLY APPLIQUÉS,
I WAS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED,
BECAUSE AT THIS STAGE OF THE
COMPETITION IT'S GETTING TOUGH.
I'M JUST WONDERING
IF YOU JUST KEPT THE PAINTING
A LITTLE TOO SIMPLE
ON THIS.
- I HAD
A LITTLE BIT LESS TIME
THAN I THOUGHT
I WAS GOING TO HAVE.
- BUT IT LOOKS LIKE EVERYTHING
THAT WAS IN YOUR SKETCH
IS--IS REPRESENTED HERE.
- YES. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT--THAT, YOU KNOW,
I GOT THE BASICS.
I KNEW THAT SOME PIECES
WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPROMISED.
- GEAR, I THINK YOUR WORK
IS BEAUTIFUL.
I WOULD DEFINITELY PUT IT
IN THE GENRE
OF SUPERHERO.
- THANK YOU.
- NOW, WERE YOU
AT ALL INSPIRED
BY DUTCH'S HAIR?
- NO RELATION.
I KNOW THEY'RE VISUAL, BUT NO.
- IT SO REPRESENTS
YOUR PERSONALITY...
- RIGHT.
- WILD AND FULL OF LIGHT
AND THE COLORS
REALLY SPEAK TO ME.
- THANK YOU.
- THIS DOES LOOK
A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR...
- GOTCHA.
- TO THE FEAR CHALLENGE.
WHAT OTHER COLORS
ARE IN YOUR BOX OF CRAYONS?
- THANK YOU, GEAR.
PAINTERS, YOU'VE GIVEN
THE JUDGES A LOT TO THINK ABOUT.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF YOU
WILL BE GOING HOME TODAY.
- I COULD WIN GLITTER,
OR I COULD GO HOME.
AND I DON'T WANNA GO HOME.
- SO, JUDGES, WHAT DID YOU THINK
ABOUT THE PAINTINGS?
- I LOVED FELLE'S WORK.
WE FINALLY SAW FELLE.
- HIS NARRATIVE
WAS JUST AS DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL
AS HIS WORK.
- AND WHAT A GREAT MESSAGE
TO THE WORLD
THAT HE'S TRYING TO EXPRESS.
- EVERY TIME I SEE A BUTTERFLY
FROM NOW ON,
I'M GONNA THINK OF FELLE.
- AND WHAT ABOUT
DUTCH'S SUPERHERO?
- THE DETAIL THAT HE GOT
ON THE ARMS...
- YES!
- LIKE, JUST THAT HANDPIECE,
THAT LOOKED LIKE
IT WAS JUMPING OFF HER SKIN.
- YOU'RE SO RIGHT.
- THAT'S A SUPERHERO I WANT
TO LAND WHEN THERE'S A CRISIS.
RIGHT?
- BUT WHICH OF THE TWO
IS MORE CREATIVE?
FELLE OR DUTCH?
I MEAN, THEY'RE REALLY
NECK AND NECK HERE.
- AND HOW ABOUT GEAR?
- I THINK THAT
HIS WORK IS PHENOMENAL.
I'M IMPRESSED
WITH THE WHOLE THING.
- ULTIMATELY,
HE FULFILLED THE CHALLENGE.
I MEAN, THAT CHARACTER
COULD HAVE POPPED...
- YEAH, SURE.
- RIGHT OUT OF A COMIC BOOK.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- NICOLE'S PIECE WAS
DISTRACTING.
- THAT WAS KIND OF WEIRD
THAT SHE WOULD SAY...
- YEAH.
- I'M THE DISTRACTER,
BUT THEN THE OTHER ONES COME IN
TO CLOSE THE DEAL.
- THERE'S A THING ABOUT LETTING
SOMEONE ELSE DO YOUR WORK.
- YES! YEAH.
- THAT--
- IT WAS A BIT WEAK.
- WHAT KIND OF SUPERHERO
IS THAT?
- NATALIE'S WORK--
SHE GOT A LITTLE LOST.
- I ENJOYED THE RISK
THAT SHE TOOK
TO TRY TO MAKE THAT WORK.
- I THOUGHT NATALIE'S PIECE
WAS A LOT OF FUN.
LISTEN, I'M A SUCKER
FOR A CROSS-DRESSER.
both: [laugh]
- SHANNON WANTS TO PUT
EVERYTHING INTO HER DESIGN.
IF SHE HADN'T EXPLAINED
THAT PIECE,
I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN...
- RIGHT.
- WHAT THAT THING WAS.
- RIGHT.
- AS A NARRATIVE,
IT WAS FANTASTIC.
BUT THE CHALLENGE
WAS TO CREATE A SUPERHERO.
- AND HOW ABOUT MYTHICA?
- OVERALL,
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
IT WAS MAGICAL.
BUT IT WAS JUST
TOO SIMPLY PAINTED
FOR THIS POINT
IN THIS COMPETITION.
- MM-HMM.
- WOULD IT HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT
FOR YOU IF SHE WOULD HAVE
PAINTED THOSE CHAKRAS?
- YES.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- YES.
- SO, JUDGES, HAVE YOU MADE
YOUR DECISION?
- YEAH.
- I THINK SO.
- YEAH.
- DONE.
- IN FOUR HOURS, YOU ALL MANAGED
TO CREATE A SUPERHERO
THAT WAS BOTH PERSONAL
AND OUT OF THIS WORLD.
EVEN THOUGH ALL OF YOU
DID GREAT WORK,
ONLY ONE OF YOU
CAN BE THE WINNER,
AND ONE OF YOU
WILL BE GOING HOME TONIGHT.
NATALIE,
YOU ARE SAFE.
YOU CAN GO TO THE LOUNGE.
- THANKS.
- SHANNON, MYTHICA, NICOLE,
PLEASE STEP FORWARD.
YOU ARE
THE BOTTOM THREE.
PLEASE STEP TO THE SIDE.
- THIS IS MY FIRST TIME
BEING IN THE BOTTOM THREE,
AND IT IS THE WORST FEELING
IN THE WORLD.
- IT FEELS REALLY HORRIBLE TO BE
IN THE BOTTOM THREE AGAIN.
- DUTCH, GEAR, FELLE.
CONGRATULATIONS,
YOU ARE THE TOP THREE.
WELL DONE, GENTLEMEN.
YOU REALLY ROSE TO THE TOP
THIS WEEK.
- THIS IS SO EXCITING FOR ME
JUST TO WITNESS
YOUR IMMENSE TALENT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
- EACH OF YOU WERE JUST
THE CONSUMMATE STORYTELLERS
HERE.
YOU'RE ALL SUPERHEROES.
- THANK YOU.

[suspenseful music]
- NICOLE,
SHANNON,
MYTHICA,

SICK-TO-MY-STOMACH FEELING.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO,
I COULD GO HOME
AT THIS POINT.
- SHANNON, MYTHICA, NICOLE,
UNFORTUNATELY, ONE OF YOU
WILL BE GOING HOME TODAY.

♪ ♪
NICOLE, THE JUDGES WISHED
THAT YOUR CREATION FELT MORE
LIKE A SUPERHERO
AND LESS LIKE
YOUR ALTER EGO.
SHANNON, THE JUDGES LOVED
THE STORY BEHIND YOUR CONCEPT,
BUT YOUR WORK SHOULD SPEAK
FOR ITSELF
AND NOT HAVE TO BE
EXPLAINED.
MYTHICA, YOUR CONCEPT
WAS CREATIVE
AND DEFINITELY REPRESENTED YOU
AS AN ARTIST,
BUT THE JUDGES FELT
THAT IT WAS JUST TOO SIMPLE.
MYTHICA,
YOUR TIME HERE IS UP.
- I KNOW.
- NICOLE, SHANNON,
YOU ARE SAFE.
- LOVE YOU.
- I FEEL RELIEVED
THAT I'M STILL HERE.
I'M THINKING THAT WAS
A REALLY GOOD STRATEGY.
- MYTHICA,
YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING SO GRACIOUS
AND SO GIVING
WITH YOUR TALENT
AND YOUR HEALING ENERGY
AND YOUR LOVE.
- YES!
- MYTHICA IS LOVE.
- LOVE!
[laughter]
- THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST
SPIRITUALLY CHALLENGING THINGS
I'VE EVER DONE.
I LEARNED SO MUCH
FROM ALL OF YOU
IN YOUR FEEDBACK,
IN YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT,
IN YOUR LOVE.
MY LIFE IS NEVER
GONNA BE THE SAME.
THERE'S JUST NO WAY
THAT IT CAN BE.
- ALL RIGHT, MYTHICA.
PLEASE GO WASH OFF
YOUR CANVAS.
- I'M AT PEACE
WITH GOING HOME.
JUST EVEN BEING ASKED
TO BE A PART OF THIS COMPETITION
HAS CHANGED ME.
I'M NOW WORTHY.
I'VE BEEN VALIDATED.
I'VE BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED.
I TOTALLY ACCOMPLISHED
WHAT I SET OUT TO DO
WHEN I CAME HERE
TO SKIN WARS.
I REALLY WANTED
TO SHOW PEOPLE
THAT BODY PAINTING,
REALLY, IT'S SO MUCH DEEPER
THAN THE SKIN
AND JUST ART, BUT THAT THERE'S
A SPIRITUAL COMPONENT TO IT.
AS BODY PAINTERS,
WE HELP HEAL PEOPLE.
AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT YOU GUYS
HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF ME.
THERE'S NO WAY.
- NEXT TIME ON SKIN WARS...
WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER LAYER
TO THIS CHALLENGE.
- WHAT?!
- YEAH!
- THIS PROSTHETIC STUFF
IS AMAZING.
- FELLE'S CONCEPT IS
NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO.
- IT'S ACTUALLY--
LOOK AT THIS--TOO SMALL.
- TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN.
THERE ARE WEAK SPOTS
IN NATALIE'S TECHNIQUE.
- IF I GO HOME
BECAUSE THESE BOYS ARE BASTARDS,
I'M JUST GONNA HATE MYSELF.
- IT'S THE WEAKEST THING YOU'VE
PAINTED IN THIS COMPETITION.
- NATALIE WAS THE WEAKEST LINK.
- IF YOUR TEAM
IS THE LOSING TEAM,
WHICH ONE OF YOU
WOULD GO HOME?
