Maritime Monsters: Season 13, Episode 7

WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap! 

Monster time! Sea monsters, that is - and they'll have to perform UNDERWATER. That's the scary part.

Exhibit A: Mel and Derek's "oh $&^*" faces

Jordan gets into character, trying to see the monster from the monster's perspective.

Mr. Westmore visits and tells Derek his sea monster is looking more like a bat than a sea creature. Not good news!

Mel has a clear vision - it's just not landing the way she sees it yet.

Walter focuses on the aquadynamics of his monster.

As Mel reaches the final stages of her paint job, she realizes she applied the colors in the wrong order, meaning her metallics won't pop. Curses!

Derek can't get his chest appliance to lie flat (read: keep water from seeping in). Fortunately, he sculpted extra blender pieces for just such a contingency.

Mel couldn't save her paint job. That, and her choice to use a sea horse as inspiration, dropped her to bottom looks.

Walter and Matt had a spirited competition. Who will be the victor of this battle?

Friend vs. Friend on this battle.

Walter is super proud of his paint job, and the judges appreciate the way he used fins in the anatomy.

Matt won the water challenge on his season, and he wins this battle - but not without a hearty fight from Walter!

Jordan used the angler fish as a model, and produced a truly frightening sea monster. This makeup brings him his first win!

Damien was ambitious, and wasn't able to get everything finished. His paint AND appliances come off in the water.

The judges love the way the tendrils and fins on Derek's makeup flow in unison.

This is not an elimination week, so no one's going home - but that doesn't mean that Mel and Damien feel "safe"!
