ONE MAN DOWN
In their second successive loss, the Crafty Beavers voted to eliminate
Tim, the 25-year-old finish carpenter from Punta Gorda, Florida. Their
team of skilled and creative minds ultimately wasn't enough to outshine
their artsy competitors, and they chose to keep their best and get rid
of the rest.
LIVE ART
As Mitch's homemade biscuits are being enjoyed in the kitchen, the
remaining Perfectionists reflect on the previous evening in the Rock
Garden. Joan greets the teams and introduces Alease Fisher, art patron
and member of the Board of Directors of the Bruce Museum of Arts and
Science in Greenwich, Connecticut. Joan explains that this next
competition will challenge the artist in each of the Perfectionists.
For the season opening party at the Bruce Museum, Alease Fisher
requests the teams' services to provide entertainment for the party.
Joan further explains the challenge: the competitors will actually be
the entertainment. Each team is to create a living work of art,
complete with props, costumes, a life-size frame and a minimum of three
team members as part of their living tableau. Judging will be based on
costumes (at least one of which must be made from scratch), the overall
concept and execution of the montage and the actual frame. As the art
museum opening is a masquerade ball, the individual project is to
create an original masquerade mask. The museum gala is scheduled for
the following evening, allowing a mere 36 hours to complete both team
and individual projects. Each team is allocated a budget of $1500 to
cover costs of fabric and art supplies for the living work of art as
well as for the individual projects. Joan also announces that in
addition to the design workshop, the perfectionists will be able to use
the converted pool house as a second workspace. The teams will rotate
shifts between these two locations.
LINES ARE DRAWN
Margo is quick to voice her idea for a theme, but Team Artisan
struggles to agree on a general premise for their work of art, and
Margo feels invisible. Darlene is excited by the project and feels this
challenge plays into her skill set, as she is very comfortable with
textiles, sewing and costuming. During the car ride from the fabric
store back to the Estate, Kimberly discusses with Darlene her concern
with Margo's pushy behavior. Kimberly plans to be more assertive and
aggressive with Margo, as she has felt that Margo's opinions are
continuously forced upon the team. As an experienced wood maker and
designer, Kimberly volunteers her efforts to create the life-size
picture frame and claims this as her responsibility on the project.
The Crafty Beavers recognize that they are beginning to work positively
as a team, even when it comes to individual projects, and quickly
formulate a Moulin Rouge theme for their work of art. Heather and Amy
are enjoying their friendship and shop at an art store for supplies.
With a specialty in fine art, Amy feels confident about this assignment
and hopes to take her team to victory. Heather notices that Mitch takes
a back seat on the team project and works more diligently on his
personal mask. With costumes to sew, a backdrop to paint and a frame to
finish, the Crafty Beavers work through the night.
ON THE SLY
In the wee hours of the morning, Mitch deliberately enters the kitchen,
where some members of Team Artisan are working, to proudly reveal his
flamboyant mask, knowing that no one would have the chance to compete
with his lavish design so late in the game. Individual projects are
touched up, Tim prepares for his body painting with yoga and push-ups,
and Amy and Heather join creative forces to paint Tim.
Margo rises early and is anxious to put final touches on the frame, as
she feels Kimberly never actually finishes projects she begins, but
wants the credit. Angry at Margo's intrusion, Kimberly again declares
the frame to be her major contribution to the project. Margo says she
doesn't "have time for the drama" and will let Kimberly "unravel" like
a thread.
SHOW TIME
The best of Greenwich society are in attendance at the museum's opening
night. Emmy-award winning TV costumer Patricia Fields is introduced as
one of the judges for the evening's challenge, along with Candace
Bushnell and David Evangelista.
Team Artisan's tableau is presented first and receives lots of laughter
and applause from the audience. Amy, Darlene and Kimberly are dressed
in handmade ruffled, floral costumes in front of a sewn fabric backdrop
within a gold-painted antique frame. Denise and Margo stand aside from
the artwork and smile at their teammates' rendition of a scene from the
1800s. The Crafty Beavers' frame is revealed next, receiving a somewhat
surprised reaction from the crowd. Mitch, Amy and Heather appear in the
work of art dressed in bold colors, with Tim clad in a hand-painted
tuxedo. Their three-dimensional frame is also painted gold.
JUDGES' EVALUATION
The judges begin their examinations and questioning and ask each team
who was responsible for making the frame, creating the concept, choice
of colors and styling. For the Crafty Beavers, Amy presents a detailed
explanation of their pop cabaret representation, complete with names of
artists whose work inspired them, and Tim offers credit for the overall
design to "the ladies." For Team Artisan, Margo and Denise explain that
they chose not to be part of the living work of art, as they wanted to
flaunt the fabric background and felt all five women would not fit
naturally within their frame. Margo claims responsibility for setting
the frame, visibly upsetting Kimberly.
THE OVEN MITTS ARE OFF
Later, at the Estate, Kimberly attacks Margo about how she chose to
answer the judges' questions, calling her "sneaky" and a "snake."
Kimberly announces to her team that she's ready to fight.
JUDGES' CRITIQUE
The teams and judges convene to review thoughts on the team projects.
David enjoyed Team Artisan's story, but was bothered by the ladies'
hair and make-up. Patricia was impressed by their use of original
fabric for all three costumes. The Crafty Beavers' lighting and colors
impressed David, who calls their artwork "eye candy." Patricia,
however, was not impressed by their dull-colored frame as it did not
justify their tableau, and Candace felt their lack of a storyline bored
the audience.
THE VERDICT
Candace finds it difficult to determine the winner, as she believes the
competitions are becoming an issue of style over substance, but in the
end, the judges rule that Team Artisan created the best living work of
art. Patricia is not impressed by any of the masks made by the Crafty
Beavers, and even offers an assessment of "ugly" for Mitch's mask
design. Nevertheless, Tim's and Heather's masquerade masks are chosen
as the least impressive individual projects, dispatching them to the
Rock Garden for possible elimination. Amy is disappointed with the
judges' decision and thinks the competition is between a team of
creative individuals and a team of housewives.
In a shocking and daring move in the Rock Garden, Mitch suggests to
Patricia that her comment about his mask was unprofessional. Patricia
responds confidently, telling Mitch that he's "flash but not content."
Candace continues to defend Patricia, explaining that creative people
must take criticism as a challenge to raise their bar of excellence.
Once Mitch and Amy vote, it's unanimous: Tim is voted off the Estate by
his teammates.

They publicized it pretty widely. I even read a long article (and thread) in in
AGC.

I was sorry to see him go. I have the dis-stink-t impression that, if
Mitch is in the final 2, he will eat the competition during the night,
and dawn will reveal nothing left but a femur and some blood stained
sheets soaking in the sink.

Call me suspicious but I think the network would rather prefer to see a
woman win the show. IIRC, the show was touted as "the search for the next
domestic diva" and even though Mitch has shown his diva qualities on a few
occasions, the network may feel uneasy marketing him. Despite that, I would
love to see him in the final two or three.
