Been watching the Face Off replays. Like cooking, house construction, and runway shows, contestants are subjected to deadlines and end up rushing their work. The producers especially like it when participants get anxious, hysterical, and even unhinged; it is their false concept of "dramatic". In the end, no real masterpieces are created, because masterpieces take much planning, much reflection, and much time--in the same way that the world was created, which should really be the primary archetype of creating.

What such shows prove to audiences round the world are that rushing is a mode of existence, that it is all right to do things at the last minute, and that it is what the final product LOOKS LIKE--rather than what it IS--that comprises the quality of anything.
