Shear Genius Episode #209 Recap
We’re down to the final four! Too bad the short cuts challenge was really boring this week. The stylists had to create separate, distinctive looks for identical twins. Guest judge Jose Eber told the finalists to create a style that captured their clients’ personalities – a hard task, considering these girls were about as interesting as a pile of rocks. Nicole ended up winning, because she made one twin a blonde and the other a brunette. I have no clue how that “showcased their personalities” considering all these two girls gave her to go on was “WE LOVE CHRISTINA AGUILERA.”
WIth the win, Nicole earned immunity and a guaranteed spot in the final episode which airs next week. I was too distracted by the huge cold sore on Daniel’s lower lip to care that Nicole, my least favorite stylist, won. Don’t they have Abreva in Dallas?
Next came the elimination challenge. Each finalist had to create an avant guard hair style representing a season for a photo shoot. Things didn’t go well at all. Nicole’s “winter” model got fake snow all over her hair that made her look like she had a dandruff problem. Dee’s “autumn” model jumped on a trampolene but her hair was virtually glued to her head. Charlie’s “spring” model looked like the bride of Frankenstein on a swing at the park, and Daniel’s “summer” model looked hideous after she got hosed down like she was on fire.
The photographer, Michael Grecco, was a condescending, rude prick from the moment he stepped on stage. Who the hell does this guy think he is? I’ve never even heard of him. Dee said, “You don’t have to be a cocky asshole to be a great artist.” Precisely. This man is far too ugly to be so narcissistic. He’s balding, and he has a disfigured, meaty nose that desperately needs rhinoplasty. He literally looks like the monster from Fraggle Rock.
After judging, Charlie was named the winner, and Daniel was sent home. Kim Vo said Daniel’s style was “like taking a sleeping pill and a laxative in one night.” Oh come on, Kim. It was bad, but it wasn’t “shit your pants in your sleep” bad.
The finale airs next week. It’s down to Charlie, Dee, and Nicole.
