Sept. 8, 2014, SANTA MONICA, Calif. — GSN, the leader in game shows and competitive entertainment, announced today a special SKIN WARS REUNION SHOW to air immediately following the series’ season one finale on Wednesday, September 24. 

SKIN WARS’ season one finale airs at 9:00pm ET/PT, followed by the SKIN WARS REUNION SHOW at 10:00pm ET/PT.

The SKIN WARS REUNION SHOW will be hosted by series judge – and legendary entertainer – RuPaul Charles, and will welcome back all of the talented and colorful season one contestants, as well as SKIN WARS judges and body-painting icons, Craig Tracy and Robin Slonina. The reunion will highlight the series’ most memorable moments, go behind the scenes to delve into the relationships that evolved, and explore the truth behind some of the season’s biggest showdowns.

Additionally, fans will get a “sneak peek” at the world premiere of RuPaul’s original song, “Color Me Love (featuring Rebecca Romijn).”  Written and produced by RuPaul, Rebecca Romijn and Lucian Piane, the single makes its debut in the SKIN WARS REUNION SHOW.

As part of the reunion, viewers will have the opportunity to submit questions in advance via Facebook (facebook.com/SkinWarsShow) and Twitter (@SkinWarsShow) about their favorite episode, challenge, contestant, model and more, with questions to be answered on-air.

Still airing season one, SKIN WARS has already been seen by more than 9 million total viewers (unduplicated) and has nearly doubled the time period average (+95%) among total viewers, versus the year-to-date time period average. The series’ debut on August 6 was the second most-watched original premiere in GSN history.

Television’s first-ever body-painting competition show, SKIN WARS seeks to find and celebrate the most talented and versatile body painters in the country. Actress Rebecca Romijn (X-Men) hosts the hour-long series, with RuPaul and body-painting icons Craig Tracy and Robin Slonina serving as judges.
