Work of Art, Ep. 3: TITS OR GTFO

This week the challenge was to do with Pop Art! Of course Warhol was the reference point for Mr and Mrs Television land, and Warhol is a fave of people with artistic inclinations who can't do art. (Guilty.) Naturally, the artestants all say, "Oh boy, I love Warhol!" and such. Good job, assfobs.

But all is not happiness in the soup aisle, as Jazz-Minh explains that she is anti-pop, that she is a non-materialistic hippy! Of course, amazingly her shit still looks like "mature reader" painted comic book panels:



See?



Well, minus the boobs of course.

Boobariffic is Kymia, who takes off her shirt and snaps a photo with a water bottle, which Simon interprets at first as a Pimm's #1 cocktail. (PS: I loooove Pimm's!) Unfortunately for Kymia, the prize is a spread in Entertainment Weekly, which is a nipple-free publication. After putting more crap in the bottle, she comes close to winning though. She also revealed that she has panic attacks and saw her father die, but when the judges checked out her work she seemed mostly very concerned about her choice not to ice her nipples for the photo.

One would think the pop challenge was a gift for The Sucklord—who also got the contestant bumper this week, in which he discussed nerd sex and getting the cute female contestants to pose for him (triple booobz!)—but his Charlie Sheen-themed toys were instantly obsolete. I'd already forgotten the jokes. He also spilled some paint on Jazz-Minh's photos of herself, which she foolishly decided to keep because it was random. You know, it's actually okay to seek out the random in art, but the trick is to edit. Generate a lot of random stuff, then pick the "good" one. But if someone spills something on your stuff, scrape it off.

The winner was Young, who wanted to do something about Proposition 8. Lola wasn't impressed by the concept—apparently California is full of anti-Prop 8 art (it is??)—but he did pull it off by simply turning PROP 8 into an image, without polemic. Individuals were able to write and draw on the back of the piece. If anyone drew a penis, the TV didn't show it. That's because WE LIVE IN NAZI GERMANY!!!!, btw. OCCUPY THE BRAVO CHANNEL!! Also, Young has a boyfriend, who looks just like the borderline-MR guy from Just Desserts:



Young, you can do better. I mean with cock. You've pretty much peaked with the art.

Meanwhile, the anti-gay subtext of Tewz continues. His piece was the usual nonsense, but he explained that he went to prison for his graffiti, but luckily his ability with art saved his ass. Literally! That was his joke, not mine. Here's my joke: Tewz, either wear your stupid hat all the time, or never wear it. When you only wear it some of the time, and then take it off, you look like you got your hair cut at the mental hospital. I call the look The Institutional.

Continuing the gay/anti-gay subtext, the guest judge today was a child-molesting bus driver Rob Pruitt. He just looked like a child-molesting bus driver. Not his fault. Honestly, I told Olivia when I saw him, "Man, he looks like what I'd look like if I were on TV. Which is Why I stay off TV!"




Also shocking, two people went home tonight! Arch-villain Michelle was very nearly one of them for sleeping through the assignment and painting a Coke Zero. Then there was Dusty, who made a white rubbish bin to represent fast food. Nobody got it. Could have used, I dunno, a hamburger on it or something. Garbage inside the bin. You know, make it look like something. Bayete survived, but only because he had immunity. His great non-pop pop concept was to combine photos of Kymia and Sarah J.—Persian and Hapa respectively—and then blend them a bit. You know, two girls + race == what almost got him thrown off the show on the first week. But he's sticking with it!

Jazz-Minh got cut, as did Leon, whose work was terrible again—more glass, dumb logos, and the American flag. His piece is the sort of thing one finds in the garbage behind a sign store. Now if he had teamed with Dusty and shoved his piece into Dusty's rubbish bin, they could have won! Honestly, Leon was terrible, but I have a feeling he went home and Dusty stayed because Bravo was tired of paying for his ASL interpreter.


Next week, kids, and Judge Jerry threatens to go medieval on someone's ass! I hope it's Tewz!
