They've ended up pitting a dozen very creative people against one another in a very tired format... Face Off should have had a facelift before it was born. It could have been a great one. Go to Full Review

Its focus on talent rather than in-house beef is refreshing. But in the end, the show works because viewers at home can easily judge the quality of the contestants' work: It's not subjective like on Work of Art or untasteable like on Top Chef. Go to Full Review
