No, today's post has nothing to do with the NCAA Tournament; I'm talking about the remaining contestants on the SyFy reality-tv show Face Off. The season finale airs tonight at 10 P.M., and by the end of that hour one special effects make-up artist will have won $100,000 in prize money--plus a year's worth of make-up from Alcone. In anticipation of tonight's episode, I would like to offer my prediction here of who will be declared the winner of the season-long competition.
Of the final four, Conor (the most experienced and technically-proficient of the group) and Tate (the most creative) are the clear favorites. But Sam--the last female standing--has quietly excelled all season long, and Gage might possess the right combination of demeanor and know-how to pull off the win. All four contestants have proven themselves to be talented make-up artists, and are certainly deserving of their spot on the final episode. If I were to single out one maestro of lifecasting (and molding, and applying...), though, it would have to be:
Tate. Throughout the show's run, he has displayed the greatest artistic vision, and his work his accordingly been the most eye-catching. I can easily see him earning laurels for his make-up skills tonight (But I select him with one reservation: the number of times he has said "Thank you so much" to the panel of judges this season is the stuff of drinking-game legend, and should he happen to win tonight, there could be massive inebriation in TVland).
Face Off has strained credulity at times this season by conforming to the reality-tv mold (loft living, romantic entanglement, rivalry and backbiting), but its weekly make-up challenges have made for fantastic viewing. Here's hoping for a terrific finale tonight (in T-minus two hours...)
