What Face Off is doing this season is unexpected and wonderful
Face Off: All Stars has produced some delightful surprises this season besides its episode-one twist, which revealed teams wouldn’t be eliminated each week.
Why Face Off: All Stars changed its format, and more insight from its producer
For its 11th season, Face Off will look different: not just because it’s the show’s first-ever all-star season, but because the contestants will compete in pairs all season long, affecting the way each episode is structured.
