<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tQTuW3sMypQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The world's most innovative cosplayers go head to head each week in Syfy's new transformation competition series COSPLAY MELEE - an epic showdown of creativity, eye popping costumes and one of a kind characters. Premiering on Tuesday, March 21 at 10/9c, the hour-long battle is hosted by actress and self-described "super fan girl" Yvette Nicole Brown ("The New Edition Story," "Community") and executive produced by Jay Peterson and Todd Lubin of Matador Content ("Lip Sync Battle"). Each week, four world class cosplayers compete to create not only intricate full-body costumes - but fully-formed characters that they must bring to life through their own realistic performance. Guiding and critiquing them are a panel of judges including world class cosplayer LeeAnna Vamp, and A-list costume creator, Christian Beckman ("The Hunger Games," "TRON: Legacy"). At the end of every episode, the winner will walk away with $10,000 ... and the right to claim cosplay supremacy.
PRINCIPAL CAST INFORMATION:
· Christian Beckman as Judge
· Yvette Nicole Brown as Host

I was in until you said Nicole Yvette Brown.
I'll still give it a chance. I like Face/Off although I can't sit through it like I used to. I "hit and miss" it now.

The contest format itself isn't bad, Cosplay Melee largely copies History Channel's Forged In Fire's format.
All these shows with subjective evaluation by a panel really needs at least one mean judge. I didn't get that from any of the judges, including Nicole Yvette Brown's effusive, unconditional praise. At least they did pick the right winner in this first episode.
