Puppet Masters: Season 11, Episode 7

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

Who’s really pulling the strings, here? The artists will create puppets that come to life – much like Geppetto’s Pinocchio. That is, all the artists save Gage and Rachael, who had their own strings cut when they weren't able to deliver in the Wasteland Warriors challenge. 

Humor is the cure for Adam and Logan’s stuck feeling. They create a living statue who dreams of being a sailor.

Leatherwork reminds George of rodeos, and rodeos remind Cig of clowns. Yeehaw!

So many weeks on bottom looks have sapped a lot of Ben and Evan’s belief in themselves. They don’t know much about gold work, and can’t figure out where to start.

Emily has been wishing upon a star for this challenge – something where she’s allowed to be whimsical, but not over the top.

At the last minute, Cig and George decide the goofy hat and mustache are too much. Cig wears the hat to the reveal stage, and the ‘stache gets stowed away in George’s pocket.

Look at that leather! They nailed all the details of real leatherwork and moved into top looks.

Ben and Evan’s lack of knowledge of goldsmithing lead to an uninspired makeup. The transition from prosthetic to skin lacked finesse as well.

Logan's and Adam’s hearts sink like…stones when they hear the poor feedback from the judges.

Despite their disagreement on how to paint metal, Melissa and Keaghlan forge their way into top looks!

Guest judge Suzanne Todd wants to see the movie starring Tyler and Emily’s stitched-together ballerina. She takes everyone’s breath away, and gives immunity to her creators.
