Last week with episode 2 I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by the depth of this show as opposed to what I had been expecting. As the action this week turns around to the contest at Mega-Con, the show once again impressed me, except for reasons that are maybe not as planned as the previous week (though they might have been.) As the contestants prepare for the contest, one thing becomes evidently clear with this group, that their friends (some of whom they are married to) really want to support them in these endeavours and to help them make the best costume as possible. Becky relies on her roommate for fabrication, Holly and Jessica compete for the first time, and Riki depends on her husband for the completion of her costume as well.

It was actually pretty touching to see Riki's husband in the audience trying to will his wife to victory with his focused stare. With the lack of underdog Jesse and only a brief appearance by Yaya, the show could have lacked a bit, but once again this show surprised me, and it kind of has me hooked.
