10 Questions for The Face Season Finale

by

1. After Devyn’s panic attack, weren’t you scared the rest of the episode that at any moment she might stop breathing again?

10 Questions for The Face

by

1. Shouldn’t Karolina Kurkova and Coco Rocha be getting a bit more screen time? Or is The Face really just a vehicle for Team Naomi?

3. How great was it that Naomi mispronounced the word “pronunciation” when talking about Zi Ling’s problems with it?

4. Where does Stephanie keep pulling these winning performances from? Nigel and Naomi were so excited (a little too excited?) by her test shoot.

3. Why does Coco Rocha feel like she has to explain how non-biased judging works?

4. Didn’t it kind of feel like Nigel Barker and the Marshalls lady were a couple of mean girls judging everyone during the lookbook shoot?

10 Questions for The Face

by

1. Is anyone else really distracted that all of Nigel Barker’s “live” commentary and challenge explanations are actually pre-recorded audio? Is it that hard to converse on-camera (especially after 18 seasons of ANTM)?

2. How did Sandra not notice her boob completely hanging out as she went down the runway in the first challenge? That had to have been a little breezy.

3. Did Devyn really think being a tattletale would work out for her? Awkward!

4. Was there actually any purpose for this Kleinfeld runway show other than to judge the models?

Noted Fashion Photographer Nigel Barker Now Live Tweeting Hurricane Sandy Updates
