Addressing the staff, the Good Doctor says "The first thing I'm seeing is, all of you want Candolyn to step up to the plate and follow through... and the thing is, you're all adults! You should have your own integrity to say 'I want to keep my station clean, whether Candolyn tells me to or not!'..." Oooh, good one, Doc! How are these adults taking to being called out on their lazy and childish behavior?...
...about how I suspected...
It never fails to amaze me with people like this... if someone stands over them and micromanages their every move, they resent it and say they should stop being treated like children because they're adults... and then when you give the "adults" the chance to actually behave like adults, they revert to children who will try to get away with as much bullshit as possible until someone disciplines them. It's obvious that the behavior in this place goes way beyond "one or two unprofessional things" as Chubbsy put it earlier when he got so bent out of shape about it... grow up, people!
Turning to the Lady In Question, Dr. I says "As far as with you, you can't run a salon without first of all leading by example..." Candolyn cuts her off as she starts whimpering about how much of herself she's lost, and how scared she is, and how afraid she is that she's going to lose everything soon... Dr. Shirley tries to break in here by saying "Well the thing is, if you don't turn things around, you will..." and Crazylyn cuts her off again and agrees with her some more and now she has a full steam cry-a-thon going...
...I'm amazed she doesn't flat-out dehydrate before our very eyes...
She's just going on and on, and it's the same crap she's been spouting since the beginning of the show, and it feels to me like a total performance... Dr. I is looking particularly irritated with this behavior... surely she knows classic victim behavior when she sees it?...
..."I bet Dr. Phil doesn't have to put up with this shit... and don't call me Shirley!"...
Tabatha has been getting more and more agitated sitting there and listening to this same spiel (remember, she's had three extra days of it) and finally she explodes! "You know what? It's all about 'Well, he did this!' and 'She does that!' and 'You do that!' and 'You do that!'... and none of you fucking step up and take responsibility... including you, Candolyn!" Ooooh, preach it, girl! Tell it for Jesus! "If you had a bit of pride you'd stop pointing the finger at each other and get your heads out of your asses and realize that if she goes down ((**gestures to the wad of dampness that is Candolyn**)) you're all goin' down!"
Privately Lady T interviews that the staff have no team spirit, so she's going to send them out at lunch time to talk to people on the street and drum up business for the salon. In downtown Los Angeles??!? I hope she's going to equip them with mace and tasers... my Ex-BF works in the same plaza as Candolyn's, he's a big beefy fella and even he won't venture out walking far... but maybe the added danger will give some extra thrills here. Oh, and speaking of added thrills, whoever books the most appointments will win $200.00 cash. That should just about cover the cost of the stitches after their first knife-fight...
After the staff leave, Tabatha decides to give Candolyn a makeover... it's too bad she couldn't start with her psychic profile, but even TabbyKat has some limits...
...I bet it takes all of her strength not to rip Candolyn's hair out at the roots with her bare hands...
Meanwhile, the staff are out pounding the pavement and annoying businesspeople all over downtown. It seems like Blondie Sheri is doing a pretty good job of bullshitting people into believing that she likes their current hairstyling and color, while subtly suggesting that if they stop in to Candolyn's she can punch it up for them...
...Go Sheri! Go Sheri! It's your birthday!...
Sheri interviews that she thought the promotion would be fun and easy, and while it is fun, it's not at all easy... as poor Chubbsy Chris is finding out the hard way. He's having a helluva time getting people to even stop and talk to him. I don't know, maybe the giant neck tattoo he's sporting isn't the best way to advertise his beauty skillz, ya think?

At last I saw one of these!!!
Tabatha decides to play along, "Is she not listening? Obviously?" Too funny Tabby!
And when I say I watched it, you know, it was on in the backround and I kept hearing her say to stop crying. Overall it's a good show, but a bit predictable, but then, I'm getting it mostly from your wonderful recaps, which are orderly to the tee! (what does that mean anyway, I so often use those expressions and don't know . . . thank god I'm not on a reality show . . .
HEART J-mo!!!!

OMG That woman was INSANE. J-Mo, I adore your recaps; I was at work whilst reading this and literally bust out laughing at the Pleather-Poo circle.
That little bitch Janice would have been fired the first day she fucked up if she worked where I was her boss. And Candolyn is crazy. No group of people calls you a liar for no reason and then she goes nuts talking about how "it's the button to push"?
That lady is *coo coo* but makes for excellent tv.
AuJew, what show are you recapping next week? Is Hell's Kitchen coming back?

AuJew recaps Kitchen Nightmares. The next new episode is this Thursday. Fox has been screwy delaying it for several weeks due to the VP debate, a major league baseball game, for some reason they ran a repeat one week.
Hell's Kitchen season five has already been filmed they are doing the casting for season six this month.

J-Mo;
Awes, as usual!
Expired McNuggets are just too funny! You can certainly keep that in your J-Mo-ism, even if you can't have politics.
That mural may not have worked or belonged in there, but I thought it was a pretty good representation of a tromp l'oeil just the same.
The Granny-Poo surrounding Suede was a hoot. I bet he was thinking "Suede doesn't find that funny"!
I just loved it when TabbyKat was ripping CandyLand about letting the staff run all over her. I would have had to say the same. Testify!
That awful green-y yellow-y paint as an accent wall? Aren't accent walls like SO 15 years ago?
I agree that there should have been at least one on-screen firing, or else Tab shouldn't have mentioned it each week. I thought for sure there would be one or more in there somewhere, but I was sadly disappointed. While I feel bad when people lose their jobs through no fault of their own, I have no sympathy for those who just can't (or won't) do their jobs - especially when it doesn't involve rocket surgery (LOVED that!). Just sayin'.
I'll miss Tabby - hopefully there will be a second season.
C U on Top Design!
Lots O' Love.

I will miss this show and your recaps. I've always wondered if there were really people out there who behaved like this and apparently there are. I do think there should have been at least ONE firing, but probably several. Ah well, here's hoping for next season.

I was so pissed for missing the season finale.
LOL come on now - they should have fired that chick Janice on the spot not give her probation. That is like giving OJ a 3rd chance!
I can't believe there are really REAL airheads in the world and she not even a blonde (maybe a former blonde) but not saying all blonde are airheads just some of them tend to be!!
Shoot as a Deaf consumer - I am about customer service is a must in order to make that money and get new business!
DAMN DAMN DAMN!
I hope Queen T comes back for a season 2 and come to the hood - because some of these salons/barbershop in GEORGIA especially in the Atlanta metro area could use her help!
