Been a fun competition series. Wish we spent more time watching them create and less time on the drama. Maybe get rid of the initial challenge and just focus on the main challenge. The winner of the main challenge can have imunity for the next main challenge.
From the channel formerly known as SciFi, crap continues…
At least it’s somewhat related to science fiction. They’re mostly doing sci-fi creature make-up, right? Certainly closer than WWE wrestling.
pearls before swine…
Great show. Glad it will be back sooner than later. Hope they don’t run in to any crew issues while filming season 3.
Where is the love for McKenzie Westmore? Isn’t she coming back as host?
