I love this episode! (Just catching up now after a busy week.) Great episode idea in general, and Alyssa did a great job. Learning about drawing is fun, so it was interesting to get a camera on her drawing in progress in the More.

I think the things that made Link's drawing look different to me are that the sides of his head are longer and more straight before it gets to the chin, his neck is more slender, and the prominence of his adam's apple creates a round shape, not a long shape. He has a thinner nose and thinner lips.

For Rhett, it looks a lot like him at first glance because the boy is all hair, but I'd say it's more off in the details. His eyes are more shallowly set and his brow is less prominent. His eyebrows are more arched. She put shadows to represent bags under his eyes, but I think he actually has visible folds in the skin below his eyes. His hairline is a little higher. His cheeks are the wrong shape in the image -- when he's not smiling, he doesn't have much in the way of visible cheekbone. (It's when he smiles that we get those lovely apple cheeks!) His lips are thinner.

The things that are off on the Link image are much more noticeable, but there are more, subtler things that are off in the image of Rhett, I think. I can see why she chose Rhett as the winner.

The drawing of link looks like Saagar Enjeti to me 🤔

Link definitely won, Rhett's drawing was spot on, I think they should have let the crew judge because artists are always so critical of their own work she was bound to see something that we couldn't. She did terrific with the sketches though

If you take a close look at the picture of Rhett, you can see his chin under his beard.  As this chin does not exist on the real Rhett, I feel that the drawing of Link is more accurate.

I would love to see how she sketches them when looking at them to compare.

Rhett was definitely easier to describe but for never seeing Rhett or Link, Alyssa did a great job. 🙂

Did you think Rachel Maddow while looking at the sketching of Link? No? Then Link won. Great job, Alyssa!

It's like the black/blue/white/gold dress scenario. Half the people think Links drawing is more accurate, and half think Rhetts is. I am on Links side. I think the drawing of Rhett looks much more like him.

This was such a fantastic episode and I think Alissa is one of the best guests you've ever had!  Kudos to her and kudos to you.  Thanks for making my day.
