- i'm pairing up megan with sausage, because i'm trying to help her out today. he's a good artist. if i paired megan upwith alex, she would kill me. - alex, really, cleen? this guy has checkedout of the building. - number two.- two. - this could be an absolute disaster. anthony and i both primarilydo black and gray,

and this challenge is all about color theory. it's one of the firstsmart moves cleen's made. - the winnersof the flash challenge will have the powerto assign all human canvases in the elimination tattooas a team. you have four hours to use color theory to createa jaw-dropping illusion, and your time starts now. ♪ ♪

- hey, how's it going? - this is a hard,creative challenge. - that would be freaking awesomeif i knew what to do with it. - first of all, you have to figure out how to position these contortionists. - we need somethingthat's gonna be stable too. - stable. - second of all, they have to disguise these human figures by using the right colors

to make it something amazing. - maybe putyour two legs together there. - not only are we dealingwith weird-ass contortionists... - that's a little better.- what could it be? but i've never, everairbrushed before in my life. - yeah, i can seea face right there. what do you think aboutthe idea of a snake? what about an adamand eve theme? oh, dude, her boobsas an eye?

is that a ship? - as an eye? we are talking way too muchand losing valuable time. - that's an awful little headfor a great big swan, brother. - if we don't win this challengeand get a skull pick, i don't see us turning the tideat all in our favor. - i'm just at a [bleep]loss here on this one. - we can do, like,an alligator head. i was thinking, like, a swan.

- every idea falling outof alex's mouth right now is absolutely horse [bleep]. we should try to dolike a macaw. - i have no ideawhat that bird looks like. - oh, it's fine.i got it. - okay.- don't worry about it. i have to take the leadin this challenge because alex doesn't haveanything to bring. this is the one, dude.this is the winner.

if we get that skull pick,we could [bleep] totally take over. i've got 99 problems,and they're all alex. - i'm imagining it's likesome body styles, like, say, like,she's bent over. - yeah, yeah.- her head's here. i started to get some sort of,like, a clown face. - the clown idea is [bleep]killer. - we're at coney island.

a laughing clownseems perfect subject matter. - we're gonna have ourcontortionist actually twerk, so it's gonna make the clown laugh. this is gonna be awesome. - i think, like, a spider would be, like,a really badass-- - or what i'm thinking is,like, one arch this way and one arch this way. would that not give youkind of a scorpion shape?

- i need to see themin their positions again. - that was a scorpion. - yes. - because thennow it's the body. - yeah, look at the legs,dude. we should sketch out where they are real quick,take them apart, and then figure outwhere we're painting them. ♪ ♪

- two more hours. two more hours. - if we put herin front of him, maybe the legs out, then we've got some kind of,like, facial structure where it's--you know what i'm saying? something with horns. - like a [bleep, murmurs]or something? - do a demon, like an oni.

yes, yes.- nice. all right. we wasted a lot of timetrying to figure out what the hell we're gonna do. now that we got it,it's gonna be a sprint to the finish line. - we've got two airbrushes. let's start painting, dude. - yours can be really lighton the back. it doesn't haveto be really solid.

- sausageseems like a really sweet, little, jolly dude, but he's starting to act like a dick. - what do you think,white highlights? - i don't knowif it needs white highlights. they have, like, yellow popshere and there. that's what we should usefor a highlight color. - i'm just trying to dosomething that's gonna pop out, because if this is gonna bethe front of him,

then it's gonna bethe main focus of it. - he won't listen to my ideas. - i had a bottle of white. i think that i havea stronger stake in this challenge than she does. i especially need to do well, because i need to get control of this game and show my presenceas a fierce competitor. - how you feeling?

- this is not exactly howi would have used color theory, but it's a coolsubject matter we got. - we got to win this one, marq. this one's for the veterans. - it's the badassesversus the non-badasses. - cleen and st. marqare painting buttholes all day long, and they'relaughing their ass off. - [laughs] - i'm taking the [bleep] serious.

if this ass clown wins the challenge, i will punch everybodyin the face right now.
