Face Off Season 9 episode 12 recap: Death Becomes Them

Face Off Season 9 episode 12 begins with Ben, Nora and Evan rehashing the previous challenge. But it’s not long before we’re on the Universal Studios backlot. We’re standing in front of the Desperate Housewives house & learn that it used to be The Munsters house.

There’s a mini-graveyard in front of the house. The artists have to pick a headstone & create the character who lies there. Nora goes with Black Sheep Cousin; Ben goes Inappropriate Uncle; Evan goes with Bully Older Brother; Jordan selects Spinster Aunt and Scott goes with Stern Father.

After selecting, the artists learn that 2 will be going home this week. It’s the semi-final. Surprise!

Thankfully everyone seems to be having fun with this challenge.

Nora’s Black Sheep is from a family of goat & sheep Satanists, but she’s super happy & bubbly.

Ben creates gross pustules on the nose of his Inappropriate Uncle.

Scott’s doing Walking Dad instead of Walking Dead.

Evan gets into the douchey-ness of his Bully Older Brother.

Jordan decides to create a little nephew to terrorize his Spinster Aunt and sew her mouth shut.

As Evan is painting his bull, he realizes that the paint job looks almost exactly like his paint job in the wedding episode. Whoops. Thankfully he realizes this before last looks & makes some adjustments.

This challenge makes me so glad Ben got through last week. When he’s on, he’s really on. He’s created such an Inappropriate Uncle. Creepy. And hilarious. It made Glenn look like this:

Time for the judging! Really, there’s only one makeup to look at multiple times.

First person going to the finale is Ben. Inappropriate Uncle has put him over the edge. He needs to take his model out to dinner or something for being so committed. Oh, let’s see him again.

Nora’s the next artist in to the finale. Her makeup wasn’t inappropriate, but it was good.

For the 3 guys lefts, they are given 1 hour of last looks to improve their paint jobs based on the judges feedback. Kinda like Skin Wars re-paint or Project Runway‘s tear a dress apart & remake it challenges.

Scott gets rattled & starts second guessing himself.

Jordan changes the proportions of his model.

Evan completely redoes the paint job & removes the wig.

It’s pretty clear from the judge’s discussion that Jordan is out. So will it be Evan or Scott?

In the end, it’s Evan. Although Scott’s makeup was good, Evan made the most of the extra hour and is rewarded for that.

We’ve got Nora, Ben and Evan in the Face Off Season 9 finale. Who’s your pick to take it all? Who should’ve been here? Sound off below!
