GOOD MORNING, PAINTERS.

OUR ESTEEMED JUDGES--
ROBIN SLONINA...

YOU WILL BE WORKING IN TEAMS.
I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU ALL LOVE
WORKING IN TEAMS.

ME TRUSTY PAINT CAN.
LET'S DO THIS.
THE FIRST TWO NAMES I PICK
WILL BE TEAM ONE.
SHANNON AND GEAR.
- YEAH.
- TEAM TWO--
DUTCH AND NATALIE.
- OH, BOY.
SHE'S A SCORPIO.
I'M A LEO.
I'M A MAN. SHE'S A WOMAN.
SHE'S EMOTIONAL, I'M NOT.
THIS COULD BE BAD.
- YAY.
[laughs]
- AND THAT MEANS,
NICOLE AND FELLE,
YOU TWO ARE TEAM THREE.
- I GOTTA GET USED
TO THIS GLITTER THING NOW.
YOU KNOW, NICOLE
IS A GLITTER GIRL.
I DON'T LOOK AT HER
AS A STRONG PARTNER FOR ME.
- I SAW HOW HARD IT WAS
FOR SHANNON TO WORK WITH FELLE.
I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
- PLEASE MEET YOUR INSPIRATION
FOR TODAY'S CHALLENGE.
- OH, NICE.
- OH, MY GOSH!
- WOW!
- OH, MY GOD!
- ALL RIGHT, YEAH!
- YEAH.
- OH, IT'S AN IGUANA.
- ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO SALSA THE PARROT,
FELICIA THE LEMUR,
AND IGGY THE IGUANA.
- AW.
- AW.
[upbeat calypso music]
- EACH TEAM MUST CREATE
ONE PAINTING
THAT REFLECTS THE LOOK,
MOVEMENT AND SPIRIT
OF YOUR ANIMAL.
SHANNON AND GEAR, SINCE YOU WERE
THE FIRST TEAM TO BE CHOSEN,
YOU GET TO PICK
YOUR INSPIRATION FIRST.
- I'VE PAINTED IGUANAS BEFORE.
- OKAY, COOL.
ALL RIGHT, I THINK
WE ARE GONNA CHOOSE THE IGUANA.
- IGGY IS YOURS.
DUTCH AND NATALIE.
- COLOR?
- YEAH,
WE'LL GO FOR THE COLOR,
DEFINITELY.
- WE'RE GOING WITH SALSA.
- SALSA.
THAT MEANS,
FELLE AND NICOLE,
YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH
FELICIA THE LEMUR.
EACH TEAM WILL HAVE TWO HOURS
TO PAINT ONE HEAD-TO-TOE,
FRONT-TO-BACK
CREATURE CREATION.
- WHOA.
I'M STOKED,
'CAUSE I HAVE A REAL ANIMAL
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME,
BUT TWO HOURS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME
TO DO THIS.
- THE WINNER
OF THIS CHALLENGE
WILL GET A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR THE UPCOMING
CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
- EXTRA POINTS IF YOU
INCORPORATE POO INTO YOUR PIECE.
- EW.
- YES!
- YOU GUYS READY TO GET WILD
WITH THIS?
- YES.
- OH, YEAH.
- THE CLOCK STARTS NOW.
- GOOD LUCK, EVERYBODY.
- THIS WING COMES
ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE THIS.
- IT'S FUN TO HAVE ANIMALS
IN THE ROOM.
DUTCH AND SALSA
SUPER RESEMBLE EACH OTHER.
[laughs]
- BIRD, BIRD.
- I'M KEEPING MY EYE ON THE
THING THAT I THINK IS A LEMUR,
LIMER.
ONLY LIMER I'M FAMILIAR WITH
IS LIMER BEANS IN DETROIT.
IF HE JUMPS,
I'M OUTTA HERE.
- HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
THAT IS IGGY.
I HAVEN'T WON JACK[bleep]
AT THIS POINT.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN
A LITTLE UNDERAPPRECIATED.
- I'M GONNA USE YOUR HIP BONE
AS THE ELBOW.
- SHANNON AND I,
OUR ARTISTIC STYLES
ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
FROM ONE ANOTHER.
IT CAN EITHER REALLY WORK
OR REALLY CLASH.
- OKAY, SO TWO PARROTS
ON EACH SIDE.
HAVE, ACTUALLY, THE FEET RIGHT
HERE, LIKE THEY'RE STANDING
ON THE COLLAR BONES.
- AND THEN THE TAILS
COME DOWN HERE?
- THE TAILS COMING DOWN HERE.
- DUTCH IS
TECHNICALLY AMAZING.
AND I HAVE SOME REALLY COOL,
WEIRD IDEAS SOMETIMES.
AND SO LET'S TRY AND MARRY
THE TWO OF THOSE.
I KNOW THIS IS KINDA SILLY,
BUT AS FAR AS THE FEET,
I THINK WE SHOULD DO
BIRD [bleep].
- OKAY.
- RU IS LIKE,
"BONUS POINTS
IF YOU CAN INCORPORATE POO
INTO YOUR PAINTING."
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
[laughs]
- I WAS THINKING OF MAKING
A HOOD WITH THE EARS ON IT.
- MM-HMM.
NICOLE'S SKETCH,
IT'S LOOKING LIKE
A CAVEMAN OUTFIT.
I REALLY CAN'T GET COMFORTABLE
FOLLOWING THAT LEAD.
I WAS THINKING ABOUT
TAKING THE FOAM
AND CREATING THE LEMUR.
- BUT THAT'S VERY LITERAL.
FELLE'S CONCEPT
IS TOTALLY LITERAL,
NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO
AT ALL.
- I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET
CAUGHT UP IN MAKING AN OUTFIT.
- YEAH.
BUT I CAN'T SPEND
15 MINUTES ARGUING,
SO I CAVE IN AND I SAY THAT
WE CAN DO FELLE'S FOAM LEMUR
SITTING ON THE SHOULDER
OF OUR MODEL.
- I'M GONNA HAVE TO ATTACH
PROBABLY TO YOUR EAR
OR SOMETHING.
- NIGHTMARE.
NIGHTMARE!
- SEE IF YOU CAN FIND
A PROSTHETIC FOR HER FACE,
FOR HER MOUTH AND--
- WELL, I THINK
WE SHOULD DO BLACK LIPS
AND BLACK AROUND HER EYES
AND STUFF,
INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW, MAKING HER
INTO A LITERAL LEMUR FACE.
- I GOTCHA.
- I AM GONNA START
COLOR-BLOCKING IN
THAT KINDA COPPERISH TAIL.
YES?
- UM, YEAH.
- I STARTED TO ADD DETAIL
AND GEAR IS NOT SUPER PLEASED
WITH WHAT I'VE DONE.
- START BLOCKING IN THIS BODY,
JUST BLOCK--
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU DO.
HE GETS A LITTLE BIT
EXASPERATED.
- [sighs]
GO AHEAD AND JUST FREAK IT,
AND I'LL JUST START
WORKING WITH IT.
- I DON'T GET IT.
- WHAT IF WE DID A WATERFALL
ON THE BACK?
- WHATEVER.
I JUST DON'T WANNA SPEND
A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT IT.
LIKE, WHATEVER WE'RE GONNA DO,
LET'S DO IT.
NICOLE DECIDES
TO GO AROUND THE BACK
AND START PAINTING
A WATERFALL.
I'M OKAY WITH THAT.
I WANT NICOLE OUT OF MY WAY
SO I CAN ATTEMPT TO DO
MY THING.
THIS PROSTHETIC STUFF
IS AMAZING.
I'M JUST RIDING WITH MY VISION
OF USING A PROSTHETIC
TO MAKE MY MODEL A LEMUR.
SWEET.
- I AM COMPLETELY LOST
IN MY PAINTING,
AND I TURN AROUND
AND SEE
THAT FELLE HAS PUT
THIS HORRENDOUS PROSTHETIC
ON THE MOUTH OF OUR MODEL.
DIDN'T ASK ME AT ALL.
HE JUST PUT IT ON THERE.
I GIVE UP.
I DECIDE TO JUST DO
SOMETHING GREAT ON THE BACK
SO THAT I'M NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR THAT HIDEOUS FACE.
[upbeat dance music]
- LOOK.
- YES.
MORE SOLID TOWARDS THE CENTER.
- SHOW ME WHAT HE WANT.
- TRIMMIN' DOWN YOUR BUSH.
I PAINTED THE NEST AND LEFT,
LIKE, AN EMPTY SPACE FOR DUTCH
TO PAINT THE BABY BIRDS.
ALL RIGHT, DUTCH, NINE MINUTES,
BABY BIRDS.
- ALL RIGHT, I'M COMING
AROUND THE FRONT IN A SEC.
- WE CAN ALSO JUST DO EGGS
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME.
- NO, NO. I'LL DO IT.
I'LL DO IT.
NATALIE IS GETTING ANXIOUS, BUT
I COULD BANG OUT THESE CHICKS
IN NO TIME FLAT.
- I DON'T REALLY KNOW
WHAT THEIR TEETH LOOK LIKE.
I WANT TO ADD THE MOST DRAMA
TO OUR REPRESENTATION
OF THIS IGUANA,
SO I'M GOING TO PAINT ON
SOME DRAGON-ESQUE TEETH
JUST TO GIVE THAT EXTRA POW.
DO THEY HAVE SHARP TEETH?
- NOT REALLY.
- THEY'RE VEGETARIANS.
- BUT THEY'RE
KIND OF LIKE POINTED?
- YES.
- FIVE MORE MINUTES,
EVERYBODY!
FINAL TOUCH-UP.
- BLOW THOSE LITTLE TEARS AWAY.
- [laughs]
- THERE'S NO CRYING
IN BODY PAINT!
- WE'RE GONNA HAVE TROUBLE
WITH THIS.
- ARE WE?
- THERE REALLY IS NO PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN NICOLE AND I.
SHE JUST SAID,
"TO HELL WITH IT,"
AND JUMPED ON THE MODEL'S BACK,
LIKE, "I'M GONNA DO MY THING
AND LET HIM DO HIS THING AND LET
THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY."
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE CLUES.
AT THIS POINT,
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO TRY
TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.
- CLOSE YOUR EYE TIGHT. TIGHT.
SQUISH, SQUISH, SQUISH.
- IT'S, LIKE,
CLOSE TO YOUR HAIR. I KNOW.
WHATEVER.
[timer beeps]
- OKAY, PAINTERS! TIME IS UP.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
- TIME'S UP.
WE'RE SCREWED.
- WOW.
I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT
YOU GUYS GOT DONE IN TWO HOURS.
- SEVERE.
IT'S SEVERE UP IN HERE.
- [laughs]
- HI, DUTCH. HI, NATALIE.
- HI.
- HELLO.
- HOW YOU DOING?
- GOOD. GOOD.
- WAIT A MINUTE.
I ISSUED A CHALLENGE--
EXTRA POINTS IF YOU USED POO...
- WHOO-HOO!
- AND IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU GUYS ACCEPTED.
- WE ACCEPTED.
- CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
- ACCEPTED!
- I LOVE IT.
- SO THIS IS MOTHER AND FATHER
UP TOP
OVER THEIR BABY BIRDS.
- IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN
BABY PARROTS,
THEY ARE THE CUTEST UGLY THINGS
YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE.
- WOW.
- YOU DEFINITELY CAPTURED
CUTE AND UGLY.
- WANNA DO A TWIRL FOR US?
all: OOH.
- THIS IS SALSA.
- THAT'S SALSA.
- OKAY. THANKS, GUYS.
both: THANK YOU.
- LOOK AT FELICIA UP THERE.
- WOW. SHE'S JUST A SHOW PONY,
ISN'T SHE?
- YEAH.
- WE DECIDED TO DO
TWO LEMURS ON TOP
AND THEN THE ENVIRONMENT BELOW,
AND ON THE BACK,
DID A LOVELY WATERFALL.
- AND THERE'S GLITTER!
- AND THERE'S GLITTER!
GUESS WHO DID THE BACK.
- NOW, HOW DID YOU TWO
WORK TOGETHER?
- SHE WAS DOING HER THING.
I WAS DOING MY THING.
YOU KNOW,
WE HAD SO LITTLE TIME.
- I ACTUALLY HAD A DIFFERENT
DIRECTION THAT I WANTED TO GO...
- RIGHT.
- INSPIRED BY THE--THE FUR.
- DID HE GIVE YOU A HARD TIME
ABOUT THAT?
- WE--WE BOTH HAD OUR IDEAS
HASHED OUT,
BUT WE DEFINITELY HAD TO
AGREE ON SOMETHING
AND JUST GET IT DONE.
- WOW!
- OOH.
- YOUR MODEL'S WORKIN' IT.
- MM-HMM.
- MM-HMM, YES.
- LOOK AT THOSE LEGS MOVE.
WAS IGGY MODELING THIS WELL
FOR YOU
THE ENTIRE TIME
YOU WERE PAINTING?
- IGGY WAS A PERFECT MODEL.
- YES, PERFECTLY STILL.
- IGGY IS A WAY BETTER MODEL
THAN I EVER WAS.
JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE
RIGHT NOW.
- AND ARE THOSE TEETH
ANATOMICALLY CORRECT?
- WE WANTED HIM TO BE
REALLY EXPRESSIVE.
SO WE WANTED TO SHOW
THE DRAMATIC TEETH.
- OKAY.
- SO LET'S TALK ABOUT DUTCH
AND NATALIE.
- YOU KNOW, WITH HIS TECHNICAL
STRENGTH AND HER CREATIVITY,
IT WAS LIKE
A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
- AND THEN
THEY INCORPORATED POOP.
- I KNOW, IT'S SO LIKE NATALIE
TO TAKE A JOKE
AND, LIKE, INCORPORATE IT IN.
- YEAH.
- YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH
IT WAS A JOKE--
OF COURSE SOMEBODY'S GETTING
EXTRA POINTS FOR THAT--
BUT SHE'S JUST
SUCH A HUMOROUS PAINTER.
- OKAY, LET'S TALK ABOUT GEAR
AND SHANNON.
- I LOOKED AT THAT IGUANA
AND I THOUGHT,
A FASHION DESIGN PRINT.
I COULD SEE A GORGEOUS GOWN
MADE OUT OF THAT.
- DO YOU KNOW WHAT DID BOTHER ME
ABOUT THAT PIECE WAS--
IT'S THE TEETH.
HE WENT FROM IGGY TO GODZILLA.
- I HAVE TO AGREE.
THE TEETH SEEMED CARTOONISH.
- HOW ABOUT
NICOLE AND FELLE?
- LOOKING AT
THE OVERALL COMPOSITION,
WHAT CONFUSED ME WAS THEN
THE FACE IS A SECOND LEMUR,
BUT THEN,
WHERE'S THE BODY?
AND THE LITTLE GUY
ON THE SHOULDER,
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT'S JUST
A BENDY PIECE OF CARDBOARD.
- THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD
EACH DO THEIR OWN THING.
AND THEN,
FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED,
THAT ULTIMATELY
IT WOULD ALL COME TOGETHER.
- JUST DIDN'T QUITE
COME TOGETHER FOR ME.
- RIGHT.
- SO HAVE YOU MADE UP YOUR MIND?
- I THINK SO.
- YEAH.
- OKAY, PAINTERS,
TIME TO FIND OUT
WHICH TEAM'S CREATURE
WAS LIVELY ENOUGH
TO TAKE THE TOP SPOT.
THE WINNERS OF THIS CHALLENGE
ARE...
- THIS WAS A REALLY TOUGH
DECISION FOR RU AND ROBIN,
BUT IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT
WHICH TEAM'S CREATURE
WAS LIVELY ENOUGH
TO TAKE THE TOP SPOT.
THE WINNERS OF THIS CHALLENGE
ARE
NATALIE AND DUTCH.
- GOOD JOB, YOU GUYS.
- GOOD JOB.
- GOOD JOB.
- BIG SURPRISE.
- THANK YOU.
- CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS.
both: THANK YOU.
YOU JUST WON A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR THE NEXT CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
- AWESOME.
- FIRST MINI CHALLENGE
TO WIN.
SUPER EXCITED. I CANNOT WAIT
TO HEAR WHAT MY ADVANTAGE IS.
- YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK
WITH CREATIVITY,
DETAIL, HUMOR,
AND IT'S SO MUCH FUN.
- EVERYBODY DID A GREAT JOB
WITH THE TIME YOU HAD,
SO CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE.
WELL DONE.
all: THANK YOU.
- AND THANK YOU, MODELS.
YOU CAN HEAD BACK
TO YOUR NATURAL HABITAT NOW.
- THANK YOU!
- WHOO! AWESOME, MODELS! WHOO!
- FOR THIS TEAM
CONCEPT CHALLENGE--
THAT'S RIGHT,
I SAID, "TEAM."
- OH, MY GOD, I BETTER NOT
BE ON A TEAM WITH FELLE.
- YOU WILL HAVE FIVE HOURS
TO CREATE A GROUP
OF MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
- HELL YEAH.
- YOU WILL BE WORKING
IN TEAMS OF THREE.
EACH TEAM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR CREATING THREE PAINTINGS,
AND THESE PAINTINGS
MUST COME TOGETHER
TO TELL A STORY.
- I'M STOKED.
I'M ECSTATIC, ACTUALLY,
'CAUSE IT'S RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
I'M VERY FAMILIAR
WITH MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
- NATALIE AND DUTCH,
YOU'VE PROVEN AS A TEAM
YOU CAN CREATE MAGIC.
NOW, YOU GET TO TURN YOUR PAIR
INTO A THREESOME.
- AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE
A THREESOME?
- NO ONE.
- WORD UP,
NICKI MENAGE A TROIS.
- I LOVE IT
WHEN YOU SPEAK FRENCH.
- YEAH.
- THAT'S RIGHT, YOUR ADVANTAGE.
YOU GET TO CHOOSE
WHICH THIRD PAINTER
YOU WANT TO ADD
TO YOUR ALREADY DOMINANT TEAM.
THAT MEANS,
WHOEVER YOU DON'T CHOOSE
WILL BE YOUR COMPETITION
TOMORROW.
- I WANNA WORK WITH SHANNON
OR GEAR.
- SO WHO'S IT GONNA BE?
- WE'RE GONNA GO WITH FELLE.
- FELLE.
- YES.
- [sings ethereal note]
- THAT MEANS,
SHANNON, GEAR, AND NICOLE,
YOU ARE A TEAM.
- I THINK THIS TEAM ROCKS.
- OH, YEAH.
- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT, YOU HAVE A LOT
TO DO TOMORROW.
COME READY FOR ANYTHING,
BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT WILL BE REVEALED
IN THE LIGHT OF DAY TOMORROW.
- UH-OH.
- COME ON!
WHAT THE HELL
IS THIS GONNA BE ABOUT?
ONCE AGAIN,
THE PLOT THICKENS.
- DO YOU GUYS NOT WANT US
TO KNOW WHAT YOUR CREATURES ARE?
- WE'RE DOING, UM...
- NO, SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
- OKAY.
- THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW.
- THE GENERAL VIBE
AROUND THE HOUSE
IS A LITTLE MORE STRESSED OUT
AND EMOTIONAL THAN USUAL.
- FELLE, I HATED
THAT FACE PROSTHETIC.
I HATED IT!
- YOU KNOW, I HATE IT WHEN
YOU FIRST GRABBED THE AIRBRUSH,
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S WHAT I NORMALLY DO.
- I DON'T FEEL LIKE
IT WAS AS COLLABORATIVE
AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
THE MISCOMMUNICATION
BETWEEN FELLE AND I
LOST THE COMPETITION
FOR US TODAY.
- LET ME TALK TO MY PARTNERS
THAT WIN CHALLENGES,
AND QUIT TALKIN' TO LOSERS.
- FELLE, NOT THE ATTITUDE
TO HAVE.
- I DIDN'T SAY NOTHIN' WRONG.
- FELLE, DON'T--DON'T PULL THAT.
WE ALL HAVE WON CHALLENGES.
- WE DON'T--
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE
THAT CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW.
THAT WASN'T WHAT
I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT.
- YOU JUST SAID,
"I'M GONNA GO WITH MY TEAM..."
- IT WAS A JOKE.
- "WHO WIN CHALLENGES."
- IT WAS A JOKE, NICOLE.
- THAT WASN'T A JOKE.
- FELLE'S GONNA
HANG IT ALL OUT THERE
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
HE KNOWS THAT
IT'S A COMPETITION,
AND HE'S PLAYING THE GAME.
[upbeat rock music]
♪ ♪
- HELLO. HOW ARE YOU?
- I GET TO WORK WITH YOU TODAY.
- I KNOW.
- GOING INTO TODAY,
I'M FEELING
SUPREMELY CONFIDENT.
ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN,
I WOULD SAY MY GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
OF MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES
IS PROBABLY ABOUT A NINE.
- WHAT ARE WE DOING?
- IT'S KINDA HARD TO EXPLAIN.
WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING
MYTHICAL GODS.
OUR CONCEPT CHALLENGE IS TO
CREATE MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT MYTHOLOGY
SO I'M DEFINITELY
AT A DISADVANTAGE,
BUT I'M TRUSTING
IN MY PARTNERS.
- I'M SO EXCITED!
- [laughs]
- SIREN, PEGASUS...
- SIREN--
- DRAGON, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
- YEAH, I'M GOOD
WITH THAT.
OUR TEAM'S
THE BLONDETOURAGE.
- NICOLE, CAN I SEE
YOUR SKETCHBOOK REAL QUICK?
- YES.
WE COME UP WITH A STORY.
SHANNON IS DOING THE PEGASUS,
AND SHE HAS GOTTEN
HER HORN BROKEN OFF
BY AN EVIL SIREN,
AND I'M DOING THE SIREN.
GEAR IS DOING
GANNON THE DRAGON,
WHO IS OUR HERO
OF THE STORY.
HE COMES IN
AND SAVES THE DAY.
LET'S SEE WHAT GEAR THINKS.
- I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
- EVERYONE IS EXPECTING DUTCH,
NATALIE, AND FELLE
TO DOMINATE THIS CHALLENGE.
BUT WE'RE REALLY GONNA BRING
SOMETHING AMAZING
TO THE TABLE TODAY.
- OKAY,
SO YOU GUYS WILL HAVE, LIKE,
A GREEK MYTHOLOGY
KIND OF STORY
FLOWING ACROSS YOUR BACKS.
BUT ON THE FRONT,
YOU'RE GONNA BE THESE--
YOU'RE GONNA BE
THESE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS
ON THE FRONT.
WE ARE TEAM AWESOME.
OUR CONCEPT IS A HERO
GOES ON A LONG JOURNEY
AND IS CHALLENGED
BY CREATURES
SENT BY DIFFERENT GODS.
SO I'M IN CHARGE
OF THE MINOTAUR
AND POSEIDON.
FELLE IS DOING MEDUSA
AND DUTCH'S SKETCH OF HADES.
AND THEN DUTCH IS DOING
THE 3-HEADED FATES,
AND THEN HE ALSO
REALLY WANTS TO DO ZEUS.
ONE OF US
WILL BE DOING YOUR FRONT,
AND ONE OF US
WILL BE DOING YOUR BACK.
SO IT'LL BE--IT'LL SWITCH.
WE ALL HAVE A COLOR SCHEME
THAT WE'RE GOING FOR,
AND WE'RE SWITCHING.
- I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHY WOULDN'T I DO MEDUSA
ON HER BACK?
WHY WOULDN'T I JUST DO
THE WHOLE THING?
- BECAUSE MEDUSA IS HIS
ON THE BACK, THE COLOR SCHEME.
- OH, OKAY.
- REMEMBER?
- OKAY.
- FELLE, COME ON.
IN A TEAM CHALLENGE,
WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER,
OR THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
- I LOVE IT. GO, TEAM.
- OKAY. I'M EXCITED.
COMING IN WITH SOME SCISSORS.
I WON'T CUT YOU, I PROMISE.
- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT, DUTCH MASTER.
DUTCH, LOOK AT THIS.
TOO SMALL?
- TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN.
- HOW YOU DOIN', SHANNON?
- GOOD.
- IT'S LOOKIN' PRETTY SWEET,
DUDE.
- THANK YOU.
TODAY, NICOLE IS
IN CHARGE OF THE PROPS.
GEAR IS GOING TO PAINT
THE BACKGROUNDS,
AND I'M GOING TO DO
THE MURAL.
- IF YOU BLOCK IT IN, THEN
I COULD GO IN THERE AND GO...
[makes funny noise]
- WORKING WITH GEAR,
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT
OF A LANGUAGE BARRIER AT FIRST.
WELL, I MEAN,
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT...
[makes funny noises]
BUT I'M USED TO IT
AT THIS POINT.
- GO, YOW-OW-OW!
- WE'RE GOING BLUES,
LIGHT BLUES.
- OKAY.
- JUST LEAVE THAT GREEN ON.
DON'T TAKE IT OFF.
- NO, I WON'T TAKE IT OFF.
- JUST PUT A LIGHT BLUE OVER IT.
- ONE OF THE CRITIQUES
THAT I'VE RECEIVED IN THE PAST
IS THAT I'M IN THE HABIT
OF DOING THE MONOCHROMATIC,
AND I'M PAINTING MEDUSA,
JUST USING THE BLUE TONES.
BUT I FIGURE SINCE
IT'S A TEAM CHALLENGE,
IF THERE'S AN ISSUE,
THE MONOCHROMATIC
WAS NOT MY DECISION.
- YES.
I'M DOING VERY STRATEGIC
PLACEMENT OF PROSTHETICS.
I MEAN, IT'S GONNA HAVE SOME
VISUAL SICKNESS, IF YOU WILL.
- PAINTERS.
I'M HERE WITH CRAIG TRACY
AND ROBIN SLONINA.
WE HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT
TO TELL YOU.
THE THING ABOUT MYTHICAL BEINGS
IS AT FIRST GLANCE
THEY APPEAR
TO BE ONE THING,
BUT WHEN PUT
IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT,
THEY REVEAL ANOTHER SIDE
OF THEMSELVES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ADDING
ANOTHER LAYER
TO THIS CHALLENGE.
- THERE IS NOTHING GOOD
ABOUT HAVING THIS TWIST.
ARE THEY NUTS?
ARE THEY ABSOLUTELY NUTS?
- WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER LAYER
TO THIS CHALLENGE.
- WHAT?!
- YEAH, BUDDY!
- OH, MY GOD.
- OH, COOL!
- YOU'LL BE USING
UV PAINTS
TO ENHANCE YOUR CREATURES
FOR THE REVEAL ONSTAGE.
- ULTRAVIOLET IS ONE
OF THE MOST DYNAMIC TECHNIQUES
IN BODY PAINTING.
I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH.
- THIS COULD GIVE YOUR PAINTS
THAT EXTRA PUNCH,
SO HAVE FUN WITH IT.
- WE KNOW THAT BY SIMPLY PUTTING
THE PAINT ON THE BODY
IT'S GOING TO GLOW
WHEN THE BLACK LIGHT'S ON IT.
BUT TO IMPLEMENT THIS,
I'M A LITTLE MORE NERVOUS
AT THIS POINT.
- GOOD LUCK.
- THANK YOU.
- ON THE AQUATIC PART,
I'M GONNA PUT THESE, LIKE,
SORT OF LIKE ATLANTEAN,
SUMERIAN RUINS,
LIKE, SCRIPT--CHH, CHH, CHH--
GLOWING AND THEN BUBBLES,
LIKE, UV BUBBLES GLOWING FROM
THE BOTTOM, LIKE, COMING UP.
THE UV LIGHT,
NOT MY FIRST RODEO.
ALL THESE IDEAS
ARE LIGHTING UP IN MY HEAD.
THIS IS MY ARENA.
- EACH CHARACTER CAN HAVE
SOMETHING SMALL LIKE THAT.
- EXACTLY.
- GEAR USES UV
ALL THE TIME.
THE OTHER TEAM
IS GONNA KILL US
IF WE DON'T STEP IT UP.
DAMN, WE SHOULD HAVE
PICKED GEAR.
- WE JUST HAVE TO IMPLEMENT
THE UV TO--FOR OUR CHARACTERS.
OKAY?
- BUT ON THE BACK--
- I DON'T THINK WE NEED
TO INCORPORATE THE BACK.
- YEAH, OF COURSE WE DO.
- FELLE HAS NO EXPERIENCE
IN UV.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT
NATALIE'S BACKGROUND IS IN UV.
SO NOW,
WE'RE IN A TIME CRUNCH.
THE BACK IS THE MURAL.
- I KNOW.
- I DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD MESS WITH IT.
- I THINK WE SHOULD USE
A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT.
- I JUST DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN
PULL THAT OFF EFFECTIVELY.
- OKAY.
[electronic music]
♪ ♪
- HOW YOU DOIN', NICOLE?
- I'M FREAKIN' OUT A LITTLE...
- OKAY.
- BECAUSE WE DON'T
HAVE TIME.
LIKE, MY WHOLE BACK IS OPEN
RIGHT NOW.
- CAN I HAND-PAINT SOMETHING
FOR YOU ON YOUR MODEL?
- YEAH, THERE'S FIRE
WHERE THE DRAGON IS ON THE BACK.
- I TRY TO MAKE MY UNICORN
NOT CARTOONY
BECAUSE THIS IS SKIN WARS.
THIS IS NOT STORYBOOK
ILLUSTRATION TIME.
BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO RENDER THINGS
TO LOOK REALISTIC.
POP DOWN. DOLCE, WILL YOU PLEASE
COME OVER TO ME?
- FELLE?
- YES.
- MY GIRL'S PRETTY MUCH READY.
I MEAN, I DON'T HAVE
ANY, LIKE, UV ON HER YET.
- OKAY.
- BUT IF YOU WANNA START THE
BACK--BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR BACK,
RIGHT?
- OKAY.
- I TELL THEM WE HAVE TO SAVE
THE LAST HOUR
TO COMBINE ALL THE GIRLS
AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE THAT LOOK
LIKE A TAPESTRY.
DUTCH TAKES AN HOUR
MAKING THOSE HEADS.
[sighs]
- HEY, DO YOU WANT ME TO FIND
A PROSTHETIC SORT OF PIECE
THAT WILL BE YOUR
BROKEN-OFF HORN ON THE TOP?
- ♪ YES ♪
YOU WANT THIS TO BE FIRE,
HONEY BUNNY?
- YES. ABOVE THE DRAGON? YES.
- OKAY, I GOT IT. OKAY.
- I LOOK OVER AT DUTCH,
FELLE, AND NATALIE.
THEY HAVE
VERY LITTLE DETAIL.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE
WORKING A LOT ON PROSTHETICS
INSTEAD OF BODY PAINTING,
AND I GET A LITTLE BIT
MORE CONFIDENT.
- ONE HOUR LEFT.
LET'S HUSTLE!
- WITH ME NOT KNOWING MUCH
ABOUT MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES,
I'M REALLY GOING TO DEPEND
ON DUTCH'S SKETCH
TO GET THE WIN ON THIS ONE.
- WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DOVETAIL
AND GET ALL THAT...
- YEP.
- BLENDING DONE PRETTY QUICK.
- I JUST WANTED
A LITTLE BIT MORE OVERLAPPING
THAN JUST THE COLORS.
- I MEAN, IF OUR BACKS
AREN'T EVEN COMPLETE--
- I SAY, ONCE EVERYBODY
FINISH THEIR BACK,
WE PUT 'EM TOGETHER
AND WE JUST TIE 'EM IN.
- THE COHESIVENESS OF WHAT
WE WERE PLANNING TO DO AS A TEAM
NOW IS
SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL.
NATALIE'S PANICKING.
- CAN WE COME TOGETHER?
I CAN WORK ON SOME OF THE THINGS
ON THE FRONT,
AND YOU GUYS CAN WORK ON SOME
OF THAT UV PAINT IN THE BACK.
YES, NO, ANYTHING?
GENTLEMEN?
I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS
ABOUT HOW TO INCORPORATE
THE UV,
AND THE BOYS KEEP TELLING ME,
"JUST WAIT. JUST WAIT.
WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
IT'LL COME TO US. JUST WAIT."
WE'RE ALREADY
RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
IF I GO HOME BECAUSE THESE
FRICKIN' BOYS ARE BASTARDS,
I AM JUST GONNA HATE MYSELF.
- PLEASE DON'T BE MAD AT US,
NATALIE.
ME AND DUTCH, WE'RE TRYING
TO STAY FOCUSED,
BUT NATALIE IS GETTING
REAL FLUSTERED,
AND IT'S FOOLISH.
- 30 MINUTES!
- I'M EXCITED
TO USE THE ULTRAVIOLET,
BECAUSE I'VE WORKED
WITH ULTRAVIOLET PAINT BEFORE.
SO I START TO PAINT
THESE BIG FAST AND EASY FLAMES,
GIVING KIND OF
A 3-D CHROMADEPTH FEEL.
- GEAR.
- YES.
- I HAVE ABSOLUTELY
NO BLACK LIGHT ON MINE.
- ANYTHING YOU WANT
TO REALLY, REALLY POP,
PUT A WHITE UNDERLAY
DOWN FIRST.
SEE WHATEVER IS...
- AWESOME.
- TALKING TO YOU OVER THERE.
- WE'RE SO FORTUNATE
THAT GEAR HAS EXPERIENCE
DOING UV PAINT.
HE WHIPS OUT HIS SKILLS
IN THE LAST TEN MINUTES
OF THE CHALLENGE.
I HOPE IT'S GOOD ENOUGH,
BECAUSE WE ARE
RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
- I GOT THE FLASHLIGHT
OVER MY AIRBRUSH.
IT'S LIKE
CLOSE-QUARTERS COMBAT.
IT'S LIKE GUN OVER KNIFE.
- 15 MINUTES LEFT!
- GUYS, HOW IS IT LOOKING
BACK THERE?
DUTCH IS BEING SO SELFISH.
HIS FREAKIN' ZEUS, THAT'S ALL
HE'S SPENDING TIME ON.
DRAWLING A FREAKIN' ILLUSTRATION
BOOK ON THE BACK OF HIS GIRL
AND I SAY, "BOYS,
GET THE GIRLS OVER HERE.
LET'S GET 'EM TOGETHER."
ALL RIGHT, CAMILLA--
BRING HER OVER HERE.
DID YOU DO ANY UV
ON THE FRONT OF YOUR GIRL?
- YEAH. OH, NO, I DIDN'T.
- BETTER GET ON THAT, MAN.
- OKAY.
- [bleep] DAMN IT.
- OKAY, I NEED SOMEONE
TO SHINE A UV SPOTLIGHT.
- HERE, HERE,
HERE, HERE, HERE.
- I NEED TO GET IN THE MIDDLE.
- CAN YOU DO THAT NOW?
HAVE YOU GOT TIME?
- 60 SECONDS, FELLAS.
SPEED IT UP!
- TURN TO THE FRONT, PLEASE.
- NO, NO, NO. TURN AROUND.
YEAH, YEAH. RIGHT THERE.
- BADASS JOB.
KICK ASS, DUDE.
WE DID SUCH A GOOD JOB.
[timer beeps]
- ALL RIGHT, GUYS, IT'S TIME!
- THAT'S IT!
TIME IS UP, PAINTERS.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
[gasps]
[cheers and applause]
- AMAZING.
I HOPE YOU'RE ALL PLEASED
WITH YOUR CREATURES.
THE JUDGES ARE REALLY EXCITED
TO SEE THE MAGIC YOU'VE CREATED.
- THE OTHER TEAM, LOOKING
AT THEM FROM ACROSS THE ROOM,
THEY'RE SHAKIN'
IN THEIR BOOTS.
- I'M NERVOUS.
WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT OUR FULL CONCEPT LOOKS LIKE
UNDER THOSE BLACK LIGHTS.
- LET'S DO IT.
all: ALL RIGHT.
- FOLLOW ME.
MODELS, TOO.
- WELCOME, PAINTERS.
FOR THIS TEAM CHALLENGE,
YOU HAD FIVE HOURS
TO CREATE A GROUP
OF THREE MYTHICAL CREATURES
THAT LOOKED ONE WAY
IN THE DAYLIGHT
AND REVEALED AN ENHANCED SIDE
IN ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT.
ONE MEMBER OF THE TOP TEAM
WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER.
AND ONE MEMBER
OF THE LOSING TEAM
WILL BE GOING HOME.
BEFORE WE START THE SHOW,
THE JUDGES WOULD LIKE TO HEAR
THE STORY YOU CREATED
FOR YOUR INSPIRATION.
TEAM AWESOME.
- OUR HERO
IS FACED WITH ALL
OF THESE DIFFERENT CREATURES
SENT BY THESE MEAN GODS
TO TRY AND HOLD HIM DOWN.
- SOUNDS KIND OF FAMILIAR.
ARE WE MEAN GODS?
[laughter]
- IT'S LACED WITH METAPHOR.
- IT IS.
- RIGHT.
- TEAM BLONDETOURAGE.
- SERENA THE SIREN
SNAPS OFF THE HORN OF
THE UNICORN GETTING ITS POWER.
AND GANNON THE DRAGON
SETS OUT ON A QUEST
TO KILL SERENA
AND GET BACK THE HORN.
- WELL DONE.
WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE.
- THANK YOU.
- LET'S START THE SHOW.

- SO, BLONDETOURAGE,
WHO DID WHAT
IN TERMS OF THE WORK?
- THE UNICORN IS MINE.
GEAR DID
A REALLY BEAUTIFUL DRAGON.
- AND SIREN IS NICOLE.
- YES.
- NICOLE, SINCE SHE'S REALLY
BADASS AT GLAMOUR MAKEUP,
YOU KNOW, I FIGURE I'M GONNA
DELEGATE THE FACE TO HER.
- SO NICOLE DID THE FACES
ON ALL OF THE MODELS?
- YES.
- YEAH.
- WHEN GEAR'S PIECE
WALKED OUT,
I WAS INTRIGUED,
AND I LOVED THE CHARACTER.
- THANK YOU.
- AND THAT SIREN THERE,
SHE IS DARK NIGHT OF THE SPIRIT.
- THANK YOU.
- SIREN AND THE DRAGON
ARE, LIKE, BADASS
AND POWERFUL.
AND I'M NOT SURE WHERE
SHANNON'S PEGACORN FITS IN.
IT FEELS CARTOONISH.
- THAT UNICORN,
THE WEAKEST THING YOU'VE PAINTED
IN THIS COMPETITION.
AND IT'S THE CENTERPIECE
OF THIS WHOLE GROUP PAINTING.
SO IT--IT HURTS
THAT MUCH MORE.
- MM.
- MODELS, CAN I ASK YOU
TO TURN AROUND, PLEASE?
- I MEAN, I DO LOVE THE IDEA
OF THIS COMING TOGETHER,
BUT IT'S A BIT JUMBLED,
AND IT DID CONFUSE MY EYE.
- ALL RIGHT, SO IF YOUR TEAM
WERE THE LOSING TEAM,
WHICH ONE OF YOU WOULD GO HOME?
- DEFINITELY, I THINK ME.
OVERALL, I DON'T FEEL LIKE
IT'S THE STRONGEST PIECE.
- WHAT GEAR DID TODAY,
REALLY, SADLY, OVERSHADOWS
WHAT SHANNON DID.
I HAVE TO SAY SHANNON.
- ALL RIGHT, GEAR.
YOU'RE UP.
- [sighs]
I MEAN,
I'M SORRY, BUT I'M NOT GONNA PUT
EITHER ONE OF MY FRIENDS
ON THE GUILLOTINE.
I'M GONNA CHOOSE MYSELF.
- HE'S GOT A HEART OF GOLD,
FOR SURE.
- SERIOUSLY.
- I REALLY ADMIRE
THE CAMARADERIE.
YOU DID GENUINELY WORK
VERY WELL TOGETHER.
- I REALLY COULDN'T
HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT THEM,
ESPECIALLY THE UV.
GEAR DID A LOT
OF THE UV.
- THERE WAS THE FULL SPECTRUM
OF UV COLORS.
THAT'S REALLY HARD TO DO,
SO CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT.
- [imitates explosion]
- THANK YOU, TEAM BLONDETOURAGE.
TEAM AWESOME.
- I'M INTERESTED IN KNOWING
WHO DID WHAT.
- I CREATED OUR MINOTAUR.
THEN I ALSO DID THE BACK SIDE
OF THE FATES.
- MY FRONT PIECE
WAS THE FATES
AND THE BACK SIDE
OF THE MEDUSA,
WHERE WE HAVE ZEUS WITH OUR HERO
FIGHTING THE HYDRA.
- I DID THE FRONT
OF THE MEDUSA
AND THE BACK
OF THE MINOTAUR.
- FELLE'S RENDERING ON THE BACK
WAS RENDERED GORGEOUSLY,
DIRECTLY OFF OF MY SKETCH
THAT I DID FOR HIM.
- DID YOU INDEED
COPY HIS WORK, FELLE?
- COPY IS A BAD WORD,
BUT DUPLICATE SOUNDS BETTER.
- WHO CAME UP WITH
THE THREE HEADS?
- THAT WAS ME.
- WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT,
IT GAVE ME THAT, "WOW."
BUT THIS IS
A BODY-PAINTING COMPETITION.
AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF MAYBE
THAT WAS TIME
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
SPENT ON MORE DETAIL
ON THE ACTUAL PAINT.
NATALIE, I THINK YOU ACTUALLY
DID THE MOST DRAMATIC JOB
USING THE BLACK LIGHT.
- I DISAGREE.
I REALLY LIKED WHAT DUTCH DID
IN THE BLACK LIGHT.
- THANK YOU.
- SO IF YOUR TEAM
IS THE LOSING TEAM,
WHO'D GO HOME TONIGHT?
- I FEEL LIKE
I DID A GOOD JOB,
AND I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE
DUTCH DID A GOOD JOB.
SO HANDS DOWN,
DEFINITELY NATALIE.
- I DID ALL
OF MY OWN SKETCHES.
I DIDN'T COPY
ANYBODY ELSE'S,
SO I WOULD SAY FELLE.
- ALL RIGHT, DUTCH.
- FELLE'S TECHNIQUE
WITH THE AIRBRUSH
IS VERY, VERY STRONG,
AND NATALIE'S TECHNIQUE WITH
THE BRUSH LOOKS VERY RUSHED.
SO I WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE
NATALIE.
- TEAM TECHNICAL WOULD SAY THAT,
YOU KNOW?
- JUST BEING
BRUTALLY HONEST.
- BUT I WORKED MY ASS OFF
ON THIS.
- I'M NATALIE'S ROOMMATE,
AND SHE STAYED UP
ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT
COMING UP
WITH THE CONCEPT.
THIS IS HER PIECE.
THERE'S NO WAY SHE SHOULD
GO HOME ON THIS CHALLENGE.
- [chuckles]
- THE BOYS FREAKIN' THREW ME
UNDER THE FREAKIN' BUS,
THE HUGE 18-WHEELER BUS.
WITHOUT ME AND DUTCH,
THIS WHOLE THING
WOULDN'T EVEN FREAKIN' EXIST.
- OH, NO.
SHUT THE HELL UP,
'CAUSE I'M NOT GOIN' HOME.
- THIS IS GONNA BE
A REALLY TOUGH DECISION.
- SO, GUYS, WHAT'D YOU THINK
ABOUT TEAM BLONDETOURAGE?
- YOU KNOW, I LOVED
THE DIVERSITY OF THEIR PIECE,
BUT THERE WAS
A COHESIVE BLEND TO IT.
- THE UV WAS POWERFUL.
AND I LOVED
THE SPECTRUM OF COLOR.
- FOR ME, YOU KNOW, THE BACK,
I LIKED THE IDEA
OF ALL THOSE THINGS
COMING TOGETHER,
BUT I COULDN'T QUITE
MAKE SENSE OF IT.
- MM-HMM.
- BUT GEAR OUTDID HIMSELF.
HE REALLY MOVED AWAY FROM
THAT STEREOTYPICAL GEAR LOOK
- IT FELT LIKE
A MATURE PAINTING.
- AND HE HAD
THE UV ACCENTS
THAT REALLY
PULLED THE PIECE TOGETHER.
- LET'S ALSO
GIVE NICOLE CREDIT
FOR THE FACES THAT SHE DID.
- OH, YEAH.
YEAH, SHE WAS THE LEADER.
THERE WAS A DYNAMIC QUALITY
TO ALL OF THE MODELS,
AND NICOLE IS THE ONE
THAT HELPED BRING THAT PACKAGE
TOGETHER.
- THAT POSE THEY DID--DRAMATIC.
- I LOVED IT. OH, MY GOD.
- AND THAT'S NICOLE, AGAIN.
- YEAH.
SHANNON, FOR ME,
WAS THE WEAK LINK.
- HERS FELT VERY AMATEURISH
AND STREET FAIR.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- AND WHAT ABOUT
TEAM AWESOME?
- NOT SO AWESOME.
- NOT SO MUCH.
IT WAS TOO SIMPLE,
BUT I THINK THEY GOT CAUGHT UP
ON THE ACCESSORIES.
AND THEY REALLY FELT HURT
BY THE UV CHALLENGE.
- MM-HMM.
DUTCH'S PIECE
WITH THE THREE HEADS,
YOU KNOW, GIMMICKY.
- I'M LIKE, "REALLY?"
YOU SPENT ALL YOUR TIME
ON THESE DETAILED, CRAZY HEADS.
AND THEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA
THROW AWAY

OF YOUR CENTERPIECE.
- FELLE FELT LIKE
THE WEAKEST LINK.
- REALLY?
- HE CONTINUES TO STAY
IN THE MONOCHROMATIC REALM.
AND HE HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE CREATIVITY
OF THIS DESIGN.
- I FEEL LIKE NATALIE
WAS THE WEAKEST LINK.
TO ME, IT LOOKED LIKE
A HALLOWEEN COSTUME
THAT SOMEBODY'S MOM MADE.

NATALIE WAS
DEFINITELY MORE CREATIVE
THAN FELLE.
- SHE IS A CREATIVE FORCE.
- TEAM AWESOME,
I STILL LOVE YA,
EVEN THOUGH WE TURNED INTO
TEAM THROW UNDER BUS.

FOR DOING THAT.

AT THIS POINT,
WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO TRY
TO FIGURE THINGS OUT.
- CLOSE YOUR EYE TIGHT. TIGHT.
SQUISH, SQUISH, SQUISH.
- IT'S, LIKE,
CLOSE TO YOUR HAIR. I KNOW.
WHATEVER.
[timer beeps]
- OKAY, PAINTERS! TIME IS UP.
PLEASE PUT YOUR TOOLS DOWN.
- TIME'S UP.
WE'RE SCREWED.
- WOW.
I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT
YOU GUYS GOT DONE IN TWO HOURS.
- SEVERE.
IT'S SEVERE UP IN HERE.
- [laughs]
- HI, DUTCH. HI, NATALIE.
- HI.
- HELLO.
- HOW YOU DOING?
- GOOD. GOOD.
- WAIT A MINUTE.
I ISSUED A CHALLENGE--
EXTRA POINTS IF YOU USED POO...
- WHOO-HOO!
- AND IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU GUYS ACCEPTED.
- WE ACCEPTED.
- CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
- ACCEPTED!
- I LOVE IT.
- SO THIS IS MOTHER AND FATHER
UP TOP
OVER THEIR BABY BIRDS.
- IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN
BABY PARROTS,
THEY ARE THE CUTEST UGLY THINGS
YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN YOUR LIFE.
- WOW.
- YOU DEFINITELY CAPTURED
CUTE AND UGLY.
- WANNA DO A TWIRL FOR US?
all: OOH.
- THIS IS SALSA.
- THAT'S SALSA.
- OKAY. THANKS, GUYS.
both: THANK YOU.
- LOOK AT FELICIA UP THERE.
- WOW. SHE'S JUST A SHOW PONY,
ISN'T SHE?
- YEAH.
- WE DECIDED TO DO
TWO LEMURS ON TOP
AND THEN THE ENVIRONMENT BELOW,
AND ON THE BACK,
DID A LOVELY WATERFALL.
- AND THERE'S GLITTER!
- AND THERE'S GLITTER!
GUESS WHO DID THE BACK.
- NOW, HOW DID YOU TWO
WORK TOGETHER?
- SHE WAS DOING HER THING.
I WAS DOING MY THING.
YOU KNOW,
WE HAD SO LITTLE TIME.
- I ACTUALLY HAD A DIFFERENT
DIRECTION THAT I WANTED TO GO...
- RIGHT.
- INSPIRED BY THE--THE FUR.
- DID HE GIVE YOU A HARD TIME
ABOUT THAT?
- WE--WE BOTH HAD OUR IDEAS
HASHED OUT,
BUT WE DEFINITELY HAD TO
AGREE ON SOMETHING
AND JUST GET IT DONE.
- WOW!
- OOH.
- YOUR MODEL'S WORKIN' IT.
- MM-HMM.
- MM-HMM, YES.
- LOOK AT THOSE LEGS MOVE.
WAS IGGY MODELING THIS WELL
FOR YOU
THE ENTIRE TIME
YOU WERE PAINTING?
- IGGY WAS A PERFECT MODEL.
- YES, PERFECTLY STILL.
- IGGY IS A WAY BETTER MODEL
THAN I EVER WAS.
JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE
RIGHT NOW.
- AND ARE THOSE TEETH
ANATOMICALLY CORRECT?
- WE WANTED HIM TO BE
REALLY EXPRESSIVE.
SO WE WANTED TO SHOW
THE DRAMATIC TEETH.
- OKAY.
- SO LET'S TALK ABOUT DUTCH
AND NATALIE.
- YOU KNOW, WITH HIS TECHNICAL
STRENGTH AND HER CREATIVITY,
IT WAS LIKE
A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
- AND THEN
THEY INCORPORATED POOP.
- I KNOW, IT'S SO LIKE NATALIE
TO TAKE A JOKE
AND, LIKE, INCORPORATE IT IN.
- YEAH.
- YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH
IT WAS A JOKE--
OF COURSE SOMEBODY'S GETTING
EXTRA POINTS FOR THAT--
BUT SHE'S JUST
SUCH A HUMOROUS PAINTER.
- OKAY, LET'S TALK ABOUT GEAR
AND SHANNON.
- I LOOKED AT THAT IGUANA
AND I THOUGHT,
A FASHION DESIGN PRINT.
I COULD SEE A GORGEOUS GOWN
MADE OUT OF THAT.
- DO YOU KNOW WHAT DID BOTHER ME
ABOUT THAT PIECE WAS--
IT'S THE TEETH.
HE WENT FROM IGGY TO GODZILLA.
- I HAVE TO AGREE.
THE TEETH SEEMED CARTOONISH.
- HOW ABOUT
NICOLE AND FELLE?
- LOOKING AT
THE OVERALL COMPOSITION,
WHAT CONFUSED ME WAS THEN
THE FACE IS A SECOND LEMUR,
BUT THEN,
WHERE'S THE BODY?
AND THE LITTLE GUY
ON THE SHOULDER,
IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT'S JUST
A BENDY PIECE OF CARDBOARD.
- THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY WOULD
EACH DO THEIR OWN THING.
AND THEN,
FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED,
THAT ULTIMATELY
IT WOULD ALL COME TOGETHER.
- JUST DIDN'T QUITE
COME TOGETHER FOR ME.
- RIGHT.
- SO HAVE YOU MADE UP YOUR MIND?
- I THINK SO.
- YEAH.
- OKAY, PAINTERS,
TIME TO FIND OUT
WHICH TEAM'S CREATURE
WAS LIVELY ENOUGH
TO TAKE THE TOP SPOT.
THE WINNERS OF THIS CHALLENGE
ARE...
- THIS WAS A REALLY TOUGH
DECISION FOR RU AND ROBIN,
BUT IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT
WHICH TEAM'S CREATURE
WAS LIVELY ENOUGH
TO TAKE THE TOP SPOT.
THE WINNERS OF THIS CHALLENGE
ARE
NATALIE AND DUTCH.
- GOOD JOB, YOU GUYS.
- GOOD JOB.
- GOOD JOB.
- BIG SURPRISE.
- THANK YOU.
- CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS.
both: THANK YOU.
YOU JUST WON A HUGE ADVANTAGE
FOR THE NEXT CONCEPT CHALLENGE.
- AWESOME.
- FIRST MINI CHALLENGE
TO WIN.
SUPER EXCITED. I CANNOT WAIT
TO HEAR WHAT MY ADVANTAGE IS.
- YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK
WITH CREATIVITY,
DETAIL, HUMOR,
AND IT'S SO MUCH FUN.
- EVERYBODY DID A GREAT JOB
WITH THE TIME YOU HAD,
SO CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE.
WELL DONE.
all: THANK YOU.
- AND THANK YOU, MODELS.
YOU CAN HEAD BACK
TO YOUR NATURAL HABITAT NOW.
- THANK YOU!
- WHOO! AWESOME, MODELS! WHOO!
- FOR THIS TEAM
CONCEPT CHALLENGE--
THAT'S RIGHT,
I SAID, "TEAM."
- OH, MY GOD, I BETTER NOT
BE ON A TEAM WITH FELLE.
- YOU WILL HAVE FIVE HOURS
TO CREATE A GROUP
OF MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
- HELL YEAH.
- YOU WILL BE WORKING
IN TEAMS OF THREE.
EACH TEAM WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR CREATING THREE PAINTINGS,
AND THESE PAINTINGS
MUST COME TOGETHER
TO TELL A STORY.
- I'M STOKED.
I'M ECSTATIC, ACTUALLY,
'CAUSE IT'S RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
I'M VERY FAMILIAR
WITH MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
- NATALIE AND DUTCH,
YOU'VE PROVEN AS A TEAM
YOU CAN CREATE MAGIC.
NOW, YOU GET TO TURN YOUR PAIR
INTO A THREESOME.
- AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE
A THREESOME?
- NO ONE.
- WORD UP,
NICKI MENAGE A TROIS.
- I LOVE IT
WHEN YOU SPEAK FRENCH.
- YEAH.
- THAT'S RIGHT, YOUR ADVANTAGE.
YOU GET TO CHOOSE
WHICH THIRD PAINTER
YOU WANT TO ADD
TO YOUR ALREADY DOMINANT TEAM.
THAT MEANS,
WHOEVER YOU DON'T CHOOSE
WILL BE YOUR COMPETITION
TOMORROW.
- I WANNA WORK WITH SHANNON
OR GEAR.
- SO WHO'S IT GONNA BE?
- WE'RE GONNA GO WITH FELLE.
- FELLE.
- YES.
- [sings ethereal note]
- THAT MEANS,
SHANNON, GEAR, AND NICOLE,
YOU ARE A TEAM.
- I THINK THIS TEAM ROCKS.
- OH, YEAH.
- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT, YOU HAVE A LOT
TO DO TOMORROW.
COME READY FOR ANYTHING,
BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT WILL BE REVEALED
IN THE LIGHT OF DAY TOMORROW.
- UH-OH.
- COME ON!
WHAT THE HELL
IS THIS GONNA BE ABOUT?
ONCE AGAIN,
THE PLOT THICKENS.
- DO YOU GUYS NOT WANT US
TO KNOW WHAT YOUR CREATURES ARE?
- WE'RE DOING, UM...
- NO, SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
- OKAY.
- THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW.
- THE GENERAL VIBE
AROUND THE HOUSE
IS A LITTLE MORE STRESSED OUT
AND EMOTIONAL THAN USUAL.
- FELLE, I HATED
THAT FACE PROSTHETIC.
I HATED IT!
- YOU KNOW, I HATE IT WHEN
YOU FIRST GRABBED THE AIRBRUSH,
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
THAT'S WHAT I NORMALLY DO.
- I DON'T FEEL LIKE
IT WAS AS COLLABORATIVE
AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.
THE MISCOMMUNICATION
BETWEEN FELLE AND I
LOST THE COMPETITION
FOR US TODAY.
- LET ME TALK TO MY PARTNERS
THAT WIN CHALLENGES,
AND QUIT TALKIN' TO LOSERS.
- FELLE, NOT THE ATTITUDE
TO HAVE.
- I DIDN'T SAY NOTHIN' WRONG.
- FELLE, DON'T--DON'T PULL THAT.
WE ALL HAVE WON CHALLENGES.
- WE DON'T--
WE DON'T EVEN HAVE TO HAVE
THAT CONVERSATION RIGHT NOW.
THAT WASN'T WHAT
I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT.
- YOU JUST SAID,
"I'M GONNA GO WITH MY TEAM..."
- IT WAS A JOKE.
- "WHO WIN CHALLENGES."
- IT WAS A JOKE, NICOLE.
- THAT WASN'T A JOKE.
- FELLE'S GONNA
HANG IT ALL OUT THERE
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
HE KNOWS THAT
IT'S A COMPETITION,
AND HE'S PLAYING THE GAME.

- GOING INTO TODAY,
I'M FEELING
SUPREMELY CONFIDENT.
ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN,
I WOULD SAY MY GENERAL KNOWLEDGE
OF MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES
IS PROBABLY ABOUT A NINE.
- WHAT ARE WE DOING?
- IT'S KINDA HARD TO EXPLAIN.
WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING
MYTHICAL GODS.
OUR CONCEPT CHALLENGE IS TO
CREATE MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT MYTHOLOGY
SO I'M DEFINITELY
AT A DISADVANTAGE,
BUT I'M TRUSTING
IN MY PARTNERS.
- I'M SO EXCITED!

- SIREN--
- DRAGON, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
- YEAH, I'M GOOD
WITH THAT.
OUR TEAM'S
THE BLONDETOURAGE.
- NICOLE, CAN I SEE
YOUR SKETCHBOOK REAL QUICK?
- YES.
WE COME UP WITH A STORY.
SHANNON IS DOING THE PEGASUS,
AND SHE HAS GOTTEN
HER HORN BROKEN OFF
BY AN EVIL SIREN,
AND I'M DOING THE SIREN.
GEAR IS DOING
GANNON THE DRAGON,
WHO IS OUR HERO
OF THE STORY.
HE COMES IN
AND SAVES THE DAY.
LET'S SEE WHAT GEAR THINKS.
- I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
- EVERYONE IS EXPECTING DUTCH,
NATALIE, AND FELLE
TO DOMINATE THIS CHALLENGE.
BUT WE'RE REALLY GONNA BRING
SOMETHING AMAZING
TO THE TABLE TODAY.
- OKAY,
SO YOU GUYS WILL HAVE, LIKE,
A GREEK MYTHOLOGY
KIND OF STORY
FLOWING ACROSS YOUR BACKS.
BUT ON THE FRONT,
YOU'RE GONNA BE THESE--
YOU'RE GONNA BE
THESE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERS
ON THE FRONT.
WE ARE TEAM AWESOME.
OUR CONCEPT IS A HERO
GOES ON A LONG JOURNEY
AND IS CHALLENGED
BY CREATURES
SENT BY DIFFERENT GODS.
SO I'M IN CHARGE
OF THE MINOTAUR
AND POSEIDON.
FELLE IS DOING MEDUSA
AND DUTCH'S SKETCH OF HADES.
AND THEN DUTCH IS DOING
THE 3-HEADED FATES,
AND THEN HE ALSO
REALLY WANTS TO DO ZEUS.
ONE OF US
WILL BE DOING YOUR FRONT,
AND ONE OF US
WILL BE DOING YOUR BACK.
SO IT'LL BE--IT'LL SWITCH.
WE ALL HAVE A COLOR SCHEME
THAT WE'RE GOING FOR,
AND WE'RE SWITCHING.
- I HAVE A QUESTION.
WHY WOULDN'T I DO MEDUSA
ON HER BACK?
WHY WOULDN'T I JUST DO
THE WHOLE THING?
- BECAUSE MEDUSA IS HIS
ON THE BACK, THE COLOR SCHEME.
- OH, OKAY.
- REMEMBER?
- OKAY.
- FELLE, COME ON.
IN A TEAM CHALLENGE,
WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO EACH OTHER,
OR THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK.
- I LOVE IT. GO, TEAM.
- OKAY. I'M EXCITED.
COMING IN WITH SOME SCISSORS.
I WON'T CUT YOU, I PROMISE.
- OKAY.
- ALL RIGHT, DUTCH MASTER.
DUTCH, LOOK AT THIS.
TOO SMALL?
- TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN.

- GOOD.
- IT'S LOOKIN' PRETTY SWEET,
DUDE.
- THANK YOU.
TODAY, NICOLE IS
IN CHARGE OF THE PROPS.
GEAR IS GOING TO PAINT
THE BACKGROUNDS,
AND I'M GOING TO DO
THE MURAL.
- IF YOU BLOCK IT IN, THEN
I COULD GO IN THERE AND GO...
[makes funny noise]
- WORKING WITH GEAR,
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT
OF A LANGUAGE BARRIER AT FIRST.
WELL, I MEAN,
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT...
[makes funny noises]

AT THIS POINT.
- GO, YOW-OW-OW!
- WE'RE GOING BLUES,
LIGHT BLUES.
- OKAY.
- JUST LEAVE THAT GREEN ON.
DON'T TAKE IT OFF.
- NO, I WON'T TAKE IT OFF.
- JUST PUT A LIGHT BLUE OVER IT.
- ONE OF THE CRITIQUES
THAT I'VE RECEIVED IN THE PAST
IS THAT I'M IN THE HABIT
OF DOING THE MONOCHROMATIC,
AND I'M PAINTING MEDUSA,
JUST USING THE BLUE TONES.
BUT I FIGURE SINCE
IT'S A TEAM CHALLENGE,
IF THERE'S AN ISSUE,
THE MONOCHROMATIC
WAS NOT MY DECISION.
- YES.
I'M DOING VERY STRATEGIC
PLACEMENT OF PROSTHETICS.
I MEAN, IT'S GONNA HAVE SOME
VISUAL SICKNESS, IF YOU WILL.
- PAINTERS.
I'M HERE WITH CRAIG TRACY
AND ROBIN SLONINA.
WE HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT
TO TELL YOU.
THE THING ABOUT MYTHICAL BEINGS
IS AT FIRST GLANCE
THEY APPEAR
TO BE ONE THING,
BUT WHEN PUT
IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT,
THEY REVEAL ANOTHER SIDE
OF THEMSELVES.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ADDING
ANOTHER LAYER
TO THIS CHALLENGE.
- THERE IS NOTHING GOOD
ABOUT HAVING THIS TWIST.
ARE THEY NUTS?
ARE THEY ABSOLUTELY NUTS?
- WE'RE ADDING ANOTHER LAYER
TO THIS CHALLENGE.
- WHAT?!
- YEAH, BUDDY!
- OH, MY GOD.
- OH, COOL!
- YOU'LL BE USING
UV PAINTS
TO ENHANCE YOUR CREATURES
FOR THE REVEAL ONSTAGE.
- ULTRAVIOLET IS ONE
OF THE MOST DYNAMIC TECHNIQUES
IN BODY PAINTING.
I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH.
- THIS COULD GIVE YOUR PAINTS
THAT EXTRA PUNCH,
SO HAVE FUN WITH IT.
- WE KNOW THAT BY SIMPLY PUTTING
THE PAINT ON THE BODY
IT'S GOING TO GLOW
WHEN THE BLACK LIGHT'S ON IT.
BUT TO IMPLEMENT THIS,
I'M A LITTLE MORE NERVOUS
AT THIS POINT.
- GOOD LUCK.
- THANK YOU.
- ON THE AQUATIC PART,
I'M GONNA PUT THESE, LIKE,
SORT OF LIKE ATLANTEAN,
SUMERIAN RUINS,

GLOWING AND THEN BUBBLES,

NOT MY FIRST RODEO.
ALL THESE IDEAS
ARE LIGHTING UP IN MY HEAD.
THIS IS MY ARENA.

SOMETHING SMALL LIKE THAT.
- EXACTLY.
- GEAR USES UV
ALL THE TIME.
THE OTHER TEAM
IS GONNA KILL US
IF WE DON'T STEP IT UP.
DAMN, WE SHOULD HAVE
PICKED GEAR.
- WE JUST HAVE TO IMPLEMENT
THE UV TO--FOR OUR CHARACTERS.
OKAY?
- BUT ON THE BACK--
- I DON'T THINK WE NEED
TO INCORPORATE THE BACK.
- YEAH, OF COURSE WE DO.
- FELLE HAS NO EXPERIENCE
IN UV.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT
NATALIE'S BACKGROUND IS IN UV.
SO NOW,
WE'RE IN A TIME CRUNCH.
THE BACK IS THE MURAL.

- SO IF YOUR TEAM
IS THE LOSING TEAM,
WHO'D GO HOME TONIGHT?
- I FEEL LIKE
I DID A GOOD JOB,
AND I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE
DUTCH DID A GOOD JOB.
SO HANDS DOWN,
DEFINITELY NATALIE.
- I DID ALL
OF MY OWN SKETCHES.
I DIDN'T COPY
ANYBODY ELSE'S,
SO I WOULD SAY FELLE.
- ALL RIGHT, DUTCH.
- FELLE'S TECHNIQUE
WITH THE AIRBRUSH
IS VERY, VERY STRONG,
AND NATALIE'S TECHNIQUE WITH
THE BRUSH LOOKS VERY RUSHED.
SO I WOULD HAVE TO CHOOSE
NATALIE.
- TEAM TECHNICAL WOULD SAY THAT,
YOU KNOW?
- JUST BEING
BRUTALLY HONEST.
- BUT I WORKED MY ASS OFF
ON THIS.
- I'M NATALIE'S ROOMMATE,
AND SHE STAYED UP
ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT
COMING UP
WITH THE CONCEPT.
THIS IS HER PIECE.
THERE'S NO WAY SHE SHOULD
GO HOME ON THIS CHALLENGE.
- [chuckles]
- THE BOYS FREAKIN' THREW ME
UNDER THE FREAKIN' BUS,
THE HUGE 18-WHEELER BUS.
WITHOUT ME AND DUTCH,
THIS WHOLE THING
WOULDN'T EVEN FREAKIN' EXIST.
- OH, NO.
SHUT THE HELL UP,
'CAUSE I'M NOT GOIN' HOME.
- THIS IS GONNA BE
A REALLY TOUGH DECISION.
- SO, GUYS, WHAT'D YOU THINK
ABOUT TEAM BLONDETOURAGE?
- YOU KNOW, I LOVED
THE DIVERSITY OF THEIR PIECE,
BUT THERE WAS
A COHESIVE BLEND TO IT.
- THE UV WAS POWERFUL.
AND I LOVED
THE SPECTRUM OF COLOR.
- FOR ME, YOU KNOW, THE BACK,
I LIKED THE IDEA
OF ALL THOSE THINGS
COMING TOGETHER,
BUT I COULDN'T QUITE
MAKE SENSE OF IT.
- MM-HMM.
- BUT GEAR OUTDID HIMSELF.
HE REALLY MOVED AWAY FROM
THAT STEREOTYPICAL GEAR LOOK
- IT FELT LIKE
A MATURE PAINTING.
- AND HE HAD
THE UV ACCENTS
THAT REALLY
PULLED THE PIECE TOGETHER.
- LET'S ALSO
GIVE NICOLE CREDIT
FOR THE FACES THAT SHE DID.
- OH, YEAH.
YEAH, SHE WAS THE LEADER.
THERE WAS A DYNAMIC QUALITY
TO ALL OF THE MODELS,
AND NICOLE IS THE ONE
THAT HELPED BRING THAT PACKAGE
TOGETHER.
- THAT POSE THEY DID--DRAMATIC.
- I LOVED IT. OH, MY GOD.
- AND THAT'S NICOLE, AGAIN.
- YEAH.
SHANNON, FOR ME,
WAS THE WEAK LINK.
- HERS FELT VERY AMATEURISH
AND STREET FAIR.
- ABSOLUTELY.
- AND WHAT ABOUT
TEAM AWESOME?
- NOT SO AWESOME.
- NOT SO MUCH.
IT WAS TOO SIMPLE,
BUT I THINK THEY GOT CAUGHT UP
ON THE ACCESSORIES.
AND THEY REALLY FELT HURT
BY THE UV CHALLENGE.
- MM-HMM.
DUTCH'S PIECE
WITH THE THREE HEADS,
YOU KNOW, GIMMICKY.
- I'M LIKE, "REALLY?"
YOU SPENT ALL YOUR TIME
ON THESE DETAILED, CRAZY HEADS.
AND THEN YOU'RE JUST GONNA
THROW AWAY
THE WHOLE FRONT
OF YOUR CENTERPIECE.
- FELLE FELT LIKE
THE WEAKEST LINK.
- REALLY?
- HE CONTINUES TO STAY
IN THE MONOCHROMATIC REALM.
AND HE HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE CREATIVITY
OF THIS DESIGN.
- I FEEL LIKE NATALIE
WAS THE WEAKEST LINK.
TO ME, IT LOOKED LIKE
A HALLOWEEN COSTUME
THAT SOMEBODY'S MOM MADE.
- I HAVE TO SAY THAT
NATALIE WAS
DEFINITELY MORE CREATIVE
THAN FELLE.
- SHE IS A CREATIVE FORCE.
- TEAM AWESOME,
I STILL LOVE YA,
EVEN THOUGH WE TURNED INTO
TEAM THROW UNDER BUS.
- WELL, I DON'T FEEL ANY REGRET
FOR DOING THAT.
- BUT IF I GO HOME TONIGHT...
- I DID--
I DID WHAT THEY ASKED ME TO DO.
- IT SUCKS TO GO HOME
IN A GROUP CHALLENGE.
- SO YOU'VE MADE
YOUR DECISION?
- I GUESS SO.
[suspenseful music]
- WELCOME BACK, PAINTERS.
- HI.
- HEY.
- TONIGHT, THE JUDGES
WERE DIVIDED.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
SOMEONE HAS TO GO HOME.
TEAM BLONDETOURAGE,
PLEASE STEP FORWARD.
THIS WAS BY FAR
THE TOUGHEST DECISION YET.
