My Reality Television Weakness: Face Off

I'm not a big fan of "reality" t.v.  Far to often it omits the reality.

I do tend to watch the contest oriented shows, like Face Off.

These shows don't pretend to be something they're not.  Plus they can be useful in launching the careers of talented individuals that just need a little publicity.  (Case in point, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson from American Idol.)

For those of you that aren't familiar with the show, Face Off is the SyFy channel's contest show centered around special effects makeup contestants.  Each week the contestants are challenged to create a character using SFx makeup, props and costumes based on the parameters of the challenge.

Yesterday's challenge was to create a creature based on creatures from Cryptozoology.

The show airs 8:00 pm Central on Tuesday night.  Older episodes can be seen on SyFy's website.  (The show's website is here.)
