This week on Face Off, clowns took over the stage as the contestants were challenged to create their very own evil clown that would be modeled by real clowns who would perform on the stage as well. But that’s not all! Their clowns had to be inspired by their very own fears.

Damien and Drew fear spiders. Sasha is afraid of old dolls. Stella has a fear of monsters under the bed. Rachael is freaked out by cockroaches. Dina fears tornadoes. George is afraid of worms. Cig had nightmares of dark water. Creepy!

Dina and George seemed to be having the most trouble in the lab which had me worried because Dina wasn’t passionate about this week’s challenge for quite some time but she’s one of my favorites so I was rooting for her to pull through it. The stress was real, my friend. The stress was real. Then, Damien began to have issues towards the end, close to last looks. And he wasn’t the only one with some serious concerns. It seems this challenge was just that for most of the contestants this week. Really pushed the meaning of the word to the max here.

No one stood out to me throughout the episode so I was itching for the stage to see the end product and clown performance. Cig knocked it out of the park! I’m so glad this was a top look. It rocked. Dina faired very well! She was a top look! Yay! Phew! Stella’s was super creepy! Whoa. Damien’s is frightening but actually, Drew’s might give me more nightmares.

Sasha took quite a risk with a doll concept as a clown and I loved it and the judges loved it and made it a top look and made her the winner of the week!!! They would have to be out of it not to love that! That was fantastic. What a leap of faith and brilliant execution. Absolutely brilliant. As for the elimination? Damien. His look was great, it just wasn’t original enough to stand out in the best way possible but this guy is crazy talented so this is definitely not the last time we’ll hear or see from him. What did you think of these clown makeups?
