Based on what is said and the tag Frank is using for her, I'd say he's going to be eliminated after partnering with her again. There is some seriously bad blood going on there, no matter how you feel about either their work or working habits.
I hope not, the guy has a lot of technical skills/experience and even though he acted like an idiot the first time he was on the show he seems much more positive this time around. I'd like to see him hang around for a while.
And I get where he's coming from, some people are difficult to work with and immediately take complete charge of creative projects, which is one thing if there is a hierarchy to your team, but a completely different one if it is supposed to be an equal collaboration.
I imagine with those stakes and the stress of deadline + cameras it would be a tough situation to deal with, as there isn't much time and space to sit that person down and talk through your team dynamic. Even if that person was open to it.

I always feel cheated when they don't have the mini challenge and then go to the main one. 
Otherwise, good to see that Frank is making a comeback this week!

I was genuinely worried that they would send Roy home after the ****show makeup but thankfully it wasn't. I knew it was just a matter of time before adolpho went home being that he's been on the last looks several times. Miranda is definitely killing it this season with her makeups. They're wicked.
I thought Laura should have won but Miranda's was excellent too. So far I've agreed with each decision on who should be sent home.
Laura's paintjob let her imaginitive concept down, I think. Frank's was a basic concept but executed very nicely and the orange prison-garb was a nice touch, it immediately gets the plot across, but it would have been nice to see more storytelling besides the face. The subtle color and realistic approach was the best way to go on this challenge IMO, and Miranda's was just one step above the rest.

Laura's was great but really played up the fantastical aspect. It was a makeup I could see in a Disney Halloween film. Miranda's was something that you could feel like you would see in real life if such creatures did exist. It had they incredible creepiness and realism. It would of been great if she had done something unique and weird with the teeth though. She also did really well with the pinks with using them subtly, especially when she had never really used them before.

she's used Pinks and flesh tones before ..that was just for TV ...this is her 2011 Imats entry. http://www.cinemamakeup.com/gallery/newsletters/oct2011/images/03.jpg
Dont get me wrong ..I love Miranda ..and she is finally getting to show how talented she is ..but remember that this show is edited to cater to its audience. Much more dramatic to say that she has never done this before. She's a makeup artist ..pinks and skin tones are first up on the list of color pallets ..how would you be a makeup artist and never do pinks and flesh?

I feel bad for saying this, but I did not like Frank's. The execution and paint and sculpture were immaculate, but the concept was so stupid that I lost as many brain cells as Brian Cushing will Monday night. There's imaginative, and then there's "serves no functional purpose whatsoever". I didn't like Miranda's because she added those nipples but didn't line them up with the model's natural nipples or cover the original ones up. It was very distracting. Maybe I'm just being nitpicky, but eh. Laura's was way too saturated. Some of the tans and browns should've been left out.

Valid point and total brain fart with the pinks, feel pretty stupid for forgetting that haha.
I keep forgetting that this is a reality show as much as it is a FX show so they'll have them say scripted lines or take things out of its original context.
Heard any goodies from the current season PT?

Ha ..s'alright ,,its easy to get caught up with shows..hell, I still watch and i know half the people on it. I dont really ask, it was shot right before summer, so it seems like awhile ago and strange to ask about stuff that happened in the past, that yet remains to still be seen. even stranger that i have friends on the season taping now

the nipple thing bugged me so much too
I saw that video, I had watched the making of the Admiral Ackbar mask and didn't make the Frank connection the first time.
I like Frank much better this season, I never doubted his talent but he seems much more serious now. I suspect seeing himself come off the way he did the first time was probably a life-changing moment for him. I'm happy to see he used the opportunity to make a change for the better and pair his skills with a more focused work attitude. He seems a good guy to me.
Again, I think the judges decisions were correct with the best and worst looks, and I agree with who was let go. I know it's a 'reality show' but it really seems fair and true toward the contestants.

I've been playing a little game called "Spot the Dorans and Krixes". With this video I've completed my third bingo card! (I don't think I pluralized that right. Woops.)
Laura's, Roy's and Alana's were my favorites again. I was hoping for Roy's to win because I like trees, but that's just a matter of taste. I think Frank did awesome for having such a...well, hard time with the prompt. He has my deepest sympathies for that.
I re-watched the Tested video where Adam and Norm talk about the Admiral Akbar costume. They show some footage from Franks FX shop (I'm assuming he owns/runs it) and Alana was working there.
I liked RJ on his original season and was rooting for him this time. Sorry to see him go.
