GSN’s most watched original show Skin Wars is back for a second season tonight at 9p and you don’t want to miss a single stroke of genius.
Skin Wars is a reality competition show different than all of the others because the 12 contestants use the bodies of models to show off their artwork. That’s right, this is a body painting competition, so their canvas is their nude model’s body. You would think creating art on the human form would be hard, but these 12 people make it look so easy and so beautiful. It’s hard to believe that they aren’t using a traditional cloth canvas when you see the final piece. It’s just that incredible. In fact, I wish I could see it in person because even HD televisions can’t do their artwork justice.
On tonight’s season premiere we get to know the contestants and there is already one villain established. You will know who he is as soon as he walks in the door. You will instantly hate him. While he is the one to hate, the rest of them seem really cool. I mean you have to be to paint bodies, right?
For the first challenge host Rebecca Romijn spins a wheel to tell them what the are going to paint. The top 6 from that challenge then get to pick who they want to compete against for the elimination round. During this challenge they are each assigned a Chess piece as their inspiration, which turns out to be interesting because not everyone know the game. How will they handle that? What will they paint? Who will go home?
You will just have to watch to find out on the most beautiful reality show on television.
If that is not enough reason to tune in, here’s Rebecca Romijn wearing just body paint.
