Face Off

    Last night I was channel surfing through the awesomeness that is dorm room cable trying to find something to fall asleep to when I stumbled upon something new and different. It was a new TV show called Face Off. I had seen shows like this before. A group of contestants trying to create something good enough to make it through each elimination and eventually win the show and whatever prize came along with it. Shows like this would include Project Runway, Top Chef, and Shear Genius. All of these shows have the same plot but with different attributes. Project Runway is where the contestants have to make the best outfit. As you can guess, in Top Chef the contestants have to have the best food dish. The show Shear Genius has contestants fighting to have the best haircut.
    So what exactly was it that intrigued me about this new show, Face Off? It may not have been an original idea, but I had not seen anything like it. In this show the contestants are fighting to be the best makeup artist. I am not just talking about putting eyeshadow on a girl and calling it good. I am talking about making a cilicon mask and applying it to a model to completely transform them into an entirely different person. The episode I watched last night was about horror movies. The contestants had to make up there own horror movie and then turn their model into the main killer in that movie. All the killers were completely different and actualy pretty original. My favorite was a man that grew up away from everyone in a closet and starts killing people. Needless to say I think I might be tuning in more often.
