Last time, Season 2 began
with the artists taking each other on in a very wicked
game of chess. Lana, the Russian native, made like her
mental-gladiator forebearers and walloped the
competition. Meanwhile Marcio was caught with checkmate
in one. Now 11 artists remain. The next round, Rebecca comes out of a cake. My dream. FIRST CHALLENGE: Sweet Dreams - A waist-up dessert-themed design topped with edible ingredients. - Winner gets an advantage in the Concept Challenge - Three hours to complete All of the models are coming in in colored tutus and fishnet stockings. And little else. Because Skin Wars, damn it. Today is Rio's son's birthday, which serves as added motivation. A lot of the contestants are dwelling upon their family for mental support. So these should be some tasty confections. Fernello has never utilized candy in his creations, so whatever doesn't stick to his model is going into his mouth. Uh... ew? Let's see what you did. - AVI: Cupcake corset with lollipop back - LANA: "Childhood Sweets" - RACHEL: "Lilly Lollipop" - DAWN MARIE: a drive-in with cotton candy - RUDY: A bag of candy with her head as a jawbreaker - CHERYL ANN: Lollipop and on the back... Rebecca popping out of the cake from the top of the show. - RIO: "Candy Land Can Go To Hell"... says the Candy Apple Bandit. - KYLE: "Little Miss Lolly, princess of the Candy Kingdom" - SAMMIE: inspired by her daughter's tutu. - FERNELLO: "Tastes as Good as It Looks". - ARYN: Katy Perry meets high fashion. Top 3: Lana, Cheryl Ann, Avi. WINNER: CHERYL ANN! She will have a crucial advantage in the next challenge. At the low-rent-even-for-basic-cable loft, Cheryl Ann is getting on Fernello's nerve. He's one to talk. Meanwhile Rudy admits to 1) having a fiancee waiting for him at home, and 2) living life polyamorously. Bad news for him, as the apple of his eye in this competition - Aryn - is already spoken for. And I hear he's a nice fellow. So there. *raspberries* CONCEPT CHALLENGE: Skin Wars Buffet (with celebrity guest judge, Iron Chef Cat Cora) - Five hours to finish. There are 11 buffet stations in the room, one for each painter. You'll be tested on the ability to camouflage your model. - SUSHI: Aryn - CHAMPAGNE: Sammie - PASTA: Cheryl Ann - SEAFOOD: Avi - TACO: Kyle - MEAT: Dawn Marie - SALAD: Fernello - COFFEE: Rio - FRUIT: Lana - BREAKFAST: Rachel - PLATES/UTENSIL: Rudy Cheryl Ann gets to swap with any of the painters. She swaps with Lana. So Lana gets Pasta, while Cheryl Ann gets fruit. ALLEZ CUISINE! The secret to winning: posing your model. You have to pick a pose that your model will be the most comfortable holding. Otherwise, she'll be moving around. A lot. In a camouflage contest, you don't want that. Dawn Marie (meat) is learning that... the hard way. Another lesson to learn: always do right by your model. Your model will thank you. Your patience will be well-rewarded. And that's just good life advice as well. Meanwhile, Cheryl Ann hints that there may be a bit of blonde rivalry toward Lana. That would be .... accurate? ELIMINATION STAGE #2 In addition to technique, execution, and concept, you will be judged based on how well your model blends into her surroundings. Nothing about Dawn Marie's painting matches up. This was her first attempt... and well, it shows. Same can be said for Rudy's, as he tried to match up the logo and ended up with "Skin Warss Buffffet". That's more F's than you'll ever see on this show. Rachel's lines are a little too thick. Rio was basically a tale of two halves: from head to shoulder, it works. Fernello had a lot of technical problems with the pose. But there were some near flawless paints.... Getting the call out... Rio, Lana, Kyle, Sammie, Fernello.... ARE SAFE. TOP 3: Avi, Cheryl Ann, Aryn WINNER: AVI! BOTTOM 3: Rachel, Dawn Marie, Rudy. Rachel... is SAFE. Dawn Marie's piece was messy, and her model was uncomfortable. Rudy was messy and without fire. ELIMINATED: RUDY. Dawn Marie lives to paint another day. But Rudy really should've listened to the judges. Time to go wash off your canvas. Next time, Zendaya plays a game of musical chairs.
