We got a foundation challenge this week! Woo! Almost forgot about those for a second there. Anyway, this foundation challenge brought in special guest judge, Michele Burke (Oblivion)! Awesome! I loved hearing what she was specifically looking forward to in their work. And if you’re familiar with her work, hearing what she was looking forward was so her. Loved it. So, the challenge was to create one of Medusa’s victims turning into stone. WHAT. So flippin’ cool! Dina, George, and Stella were my favorites. The winner, Stella, got her very own spray booth. WHAT. Even more awesome! You guys. Everything about this challenge screamed awesome. Bravo, this week. Job well done. Loved this foundation challenge. It’s perhaps going to be my favorite of this season and we’ve still got a few weeks left.

As for the spotlight challenge? They had to reimagine a greek god – using their powers as inspiration for a supernatural character. Stella chose Poseidon. Drew picked Hades. Dina chose Aphrodite and for some reason, I am not at all surprised by her choice. Cig chose Apollo. George picked Zeus. Sasha chose Athena. I’m bummed no one picked Artemis! Oh well. So keeping up with the life and death theme this season, they also had to create a severed head of a mythological monster conquered by their greek god. WHAT. How could this challenge get any more cool?

Based on the design phase, I was highly anticipating George, Dina and Cig’s designs. Sasha was struggling again this week. Sasha. I didn’t want to see you go but seeing you get more distressed each week was stressing me out. Her time was coming. But it’s fantastic that she made it this far because she is so talented. George was a bottom look with Sasha and I that makes sense as I liked his severed head more than his greek god. Better luck with the overall execution next week!

The top looks? Actor, Scott Wilson (The Walking Dead) helped judge this week’s spotlight challenge! How fitting during a severed head week. Cig’s look was fantastic. As was Dina’s. As was Stella’s. No surprise that Dina was THE top look this week. Way to go, Dina! Hers was gorgeous! Absolutely divine! Who was your favorite look this week?
