Amazing show, talented hosts, talented artists = breaktaking results.

Sorry for any spoilers! So we've watched two seasons so far, 1 & 2, and admittedly we watched them in a couple of days, but I'm not going to be watching season 3 for a couple of reasons, most noticeable in season 2. Firstly, the judging is bad, and not because I disagree with their choices necessarily, but because it is never clear what they're judging on. Take the steam punk challenge - To one contestant they're saying, you aren't meeting the challenge; to the next they're saying, I don't care that you didn't meet the challenge, this is a beautiful painting; and to the next they're saying, you met the challenge but it's too true to what we're asking and then voting her out on the strength of that. I really couldn't understand what they were choosing based on, unless it was the judges own tastes - and that's hardly reasonable. Secondly, bullying. I mean, how is making a judge laugh a reasonable challenge anyway, but then the winner did a mean, bullying cartoon of another contestant and that won. Really? Come on now. Not only should that contestant have been reprimanded rather than rewarded, the judge also succeeded in making himself despicable by condoning that behaviour. Way to create role models, hey. You just have to watch Face Off to see how good this show could be - and perhaps it's the contrast between the two shows that leaves me absolutely cold here.

Spoiler alert! Okay so the concept and challenges within the show are spot on the show is so engaging and hooks you so quickly (I finished season 2 in a day). However I noticed LOTS of things that displeased me. Firstly it was extremely sexist Rachel (season 2) and mythica (season 1) were dragged along (not at all strong in the competition) and other males who had more potential were dumped over those two USELESS (my opinion) competitors. I believe this is due to the sexist nature of the show, watch closely they tend to favor women over men A lot (this is coming from a woman's perspective). Secondly the two winners both female I might add were nearly eliminated so many times from the show and both males who came runners up Dutch season 1 and Avi season 2 were never even in the bottom three. When Natalie won season 1 it was because of her creativity and Dutch lost so many challenges because he was too technical and not creative enough. Fair enough right....WRONG. Because Avi in the season 2 final was SOOO much more creative than lana even though she was more technical. They gave it to lana because of the technical. That would be all fine if they didn't contradict themselves. This show will do anything to not give the men the final prize and it's sickening. I could go more into depth but I only have 1000 words. My conclusion NOT WORTH WATCHING TOO MUCH BIAS

Hosted by the beautiful Rebecca Romijn, "Skin Wars" is a competition show that pits body painting artists against each other in a series of challenges. Verdicts are delivered by a panel of judges.Each season, the producers try to throw more varied, more difficult, and more imaginative tasks at the artists. Such challenges can include camouflage work (where they attempt to make the model disappear into a background image), themed challenges (which can involve anything from super heroes to scenes from nature), or images inspired by the artists' own stories. I love this show because it really illustrates the incredible talents of these artists. Painting is difficult, in general, but painting on a curved, movable surface presents some specific, harder challenges.They also use different types of models. On one episode, they painted inspiring images on breast cancer survivors, which was very empowering and extremely beautiful.It's nice to have television shows that celebrate artistry and beauty. "Skin Wars" is one of the best.
