In reply to scud32. I was absolutely thinking the same thing about the crooked teeth/birth time clock situation as well. For the most part, the judges haven't been constant with their critiques over the years. people lose challenges because they picked red instead of green on line work week.... stuff like that. It drives me crazy.

A lot was off in this episode and it started early with a presentation of the 10 artists left still including Angel in the group shot.
Then a totally lousy trip to a rooftop for not other reasons than illustrating with a big cliche a the “big leap” that is a first tattoo. Well it was also some nice shots for the promotion of the episodes.
Then the worst of all, the pick of Erik as winner for the flash challenge. His work was color flat, the two sides of the watch was uneven and the flowers really stern and unidimensional. It was maybe the most symbolic but for me it was definitely a bottom.
Then some nice editing of Cleen blaming Josh form his arrogance before proving his own gigantic ego (well at least he can back it up).
And finally back to the crazy random judging with the praising of Cleen tattoo crooked teeth when they hammered one contestant in season one for using his time of birth in all clocks he was doing. Well it seems that the judges do not want to piss off the big dogs but it lacks consistency in the end as they change the rules along the way.
My picks for the finale: Cleen, Cris and maybe Josh.

Hopefully that bitch Emily will be kicked off soon. I cant stand her and she is a weak artist as well. I can see Clean, Josh, and Erik in the finale.
