This week, the contestants are being judged like never before. They must take ingredients like chicken guts, chocolate syrup and laundry detergent and create blood convincing enough to impress former LAPD detective Bob Jakucs, Tom, whose grandfather was on the force, pays special attention to the consistency and spatter pattern, and wins the privilege of choosing his model for the spotlight challenge first.

Then, McKenzie drops the “Z” bomb. That’s right, the crew is making zombies! The group has never been this pumped. They sculpt and draw with a new fire, until McKenzie serves up a twist: All of the zombies will be dancers and will be performing a choreographed routine in front of the judges, so their makeup must be boogie-ready. Gone are the dragging, ropy guts, the heavy props, and the realistic-looking silicone. Bring on the breathable foam and elegant designs. They scramble with their re-designs, and to add to the stress of this three-day challenge looms the announcement that not one, but two, artists will go home this week.

Megan is in awe of Conor’s work, but Conor shares the opinion of most of the contestants that Megan is obscuring her fine sculpture with buckets of blood. Everyone’s on edge, considering the double elimination and the presence of the guest judge, Greg Nicotero, who has created zombies for Day of the Dead and The Walking Dead.
