Jaclyn confirms that they've all been booked with their client's twins (and now the name of the Short Cut Challenge has changed to "Double Booked"?!?!?) and that they must give each twin their own distinct look that will fit their personalities... oh yeah, and the winner of the Short Cut Challenge gets an automatic place in the final! Two gay-inhales, a high-pitched gasp and a rumbly growl are heard (guess who did what) and it's back to working feverishly for that coveted spot!
Poor Underdog Nicole has her work cut out for her, because her client's twin is also a singer and also idolizes Christina Aguilera (so they're basically both boring as hell) and in an attempt to take a risk she convinces Boring Blonde #2 to go chocolate brown. Nicole is understandably nervous about this as she says "The thing I fear most today about this challenge is pulling a Meredith and trying to turn a blonde a completely different color and it coming out all wrong!"
...I would say her fears are justified...
Lesbiana Dee seems to be having the same trouble with her set of sexy twins, they both love edgy, sexy, 80's rocker-chick with peekaboo obnoxious coloring! What a coincidence! Dee decides to be tricky and smack it up, flip it, rub it down, oh noooooooooooo (she's B.B.D. or Big Bad Dee all by herself). She says she's going to flip the haircut for the other twin... We'll see how this turns out...
Over in Dallas Hayir World, Daniel is completely ignoring his clients and yammering on and on about himself instead of it being the other way around. Poor listening skills, Danny! Of course, it doesn't help that while his original client wants to be an "entertainment reporter", the twin apparently wants to be a walking organ-donor... or at least that's about all the face-time she got. There could be trouble in twin-town later on...
José Eber goes around and foofoos with all the stylestants, not really giving any critiques, he's pretty much just giggling and joking with them (like when Bitchy Charlie says he's giving his client a "beachy-blonde" and José says "Ohhh, like you, like you!" Ah ha ha, see Charlie doesn't have any hair on his head, so how can he be a "beachy blonde"? Get it? Unless José meant "bitchy blonde" maybe? It's so hard to tell with that Europea Accent of his.... eh, stick to the hairdressing, José). And time is up, it's time to see who is gonna shotgun right into the finals!
...bitchy-bitchies behind the matchy-matchies...
First up is Bitchy Charlie's Purpley Pair...
Twinella #1a (up top) is into weddings, sushi, long walks on the beach and men who aren't afraid to cry, while Twinella #1b is more of a wilder daredevil badass who writes her own bluegrass songs and does nude macramé. Or something along those lines. I think Charlie rocked the color again, but I'm getting a little bit of déjà vu back to the Red Carpet challenge...
José asks the ladies if Bitchy Charlie "got zem" and zey say yes, he got zem, zey love zair "kick-oss" hair!
Moving down the line, José says "Joo DEE, right?" Or maybe he said "JuDY, right?" Damn Europeana accent! Anyhow, here's her awesomely schizophrenic take on the Gruesome Twosome...
Heyyyy, they both have matching star tattooz on their shoulders! That's pretty "rocker-chick" right? (I wouldn't know because I'm scared of needles and "rocker-chicks"... even if they were fans of a poser tranny-tart band like Poison, they were just too hardcore for me). Anyhow, Dee gives lots and lots of explanations for what she did, but to me it looks like she pretty much just parted their hair on opposite sides of their heads and gave them two separate non-obnoxious color streaks (Twinella #2a's big red streak sticks out like a neon sign that's blinking "EASY RIDE!" on and off, while Twinella #2b's purple streak is almost completely lost in her brunetteness... even José has a hard time finding it, and he's right there in the studio with her). I'm thinking "miss"... when José asks the girls if they love what Dee did, they answer "Yes!" in perfect creepy unison.
And this brings us to Underdog Nicole's Choco-Nilla Swirly Girls...

Wow, what a bitch! Still, I would love to see them bring Grecco in much earlier. Aren't you the least bit curious about how Nikisa or Oshun would have handled that? Someone's head would have exploded at the very least.
Go Charlie!

Thanks for the great recap!
I never noticed ManlyMat "Pull my Finger" pose! LOL
J-Mo, mah dahling, are you going soft on Bitchie Charlie? Please, don't! He can take it, I'm sure he can take!
I thought Dee's was worst than Daniel's. Grecco was horrible. I haven't heard of him before and hopefully never will again!
**anxiously waiting for the Salon Takeover recap!**
:D
Mwah!

I love Jaclyn, but her face reminds me of the Joan Rivers car insurance commercial... "Am I crying? I can't feel my face!" If it weren't for the hand gesture, wiping away the tears, you wouldn't know she was sad at all.

I loved Linda's "village idiot" comment. Hilarious!
I will miss Dallas Daniel...what a cutie. Looking forward to the finale!

Great recap. Based only on your comments, sounds like another arbitrary nightmare for the contestants. Not only do they have unequal models, but also different challenges (they could have at least all been trying to set up exactly the same photo). And people like Michael ruin it for everyone - they can be found in most professions.

¡Saludos desde España! Y muchas gracias por los buenos deseos from about 3-4 recaps ago, J-Mo. I had to post although my limited vacation wireless connection keeps finding all your screencaps too much and keeps cutting me off, so I hadn´t even gotten to the part where my favorite spiky gay-eye-roller was eliminated, and here´s another one! Ay, I´ll just have to catch up when I get back. Anyway, you would think that I wouldn´t have the time with all this beach and pool and beer and parties to miss my weekly dose of snark, but do I ever! Can I bring you along on my next vacation? Heck, can you move next door to me? And apologies to your boyfriend, but please do marry Chris March (re your PR post) and make my head explode from all that awesomeness... Oh, and I loved your photo (stop it with the chubby comments, you´re very cute, if I were a gay guy I´d totally go for you) and the video with the choreography. Like my kids like to say now, "whoop, whoop, yeah!"

Hey J-mo!!! Just getting back to town and catching up! Sorry to see Daniel go, but happy to see Charlie jump up and down--don't know why that little tuck area is the sexiest part of a man, but hey, we've all got our things!!!
did you hear Billy Mays is going to have a reality show this season . . . . I'm sure it'll be the hit the Emeril never was . . . sigh . . .
Anyway, hate to see the show ending, but glad you've got the Tabby show to do . . . I hope to catch up soon!
Big Hugs!

Did anyone else pick up on the fact that when the stylists walked into the photo shoot Nicole's dress was black as they walked through the door, then gray as the walked over to Rene, and then black again as he started talking??

kizarny... you are so totally right, it would have been interesting to watch Michael Gryuckko take apart Nekisa or Oshun (I'm totally sure Oshun would have pulled a Dr. Boogie and tried to tell Michael how to do the photo shoot since he's so experienced working in TV on "Passions")... Ackulades!
detinha... there is no way I could EVER go soft on Charlie (in fact, Charlie makes me EXTRA hard on him)... truth be told, if Charlie had put forth any fug I would have totally clocked it, but he won these last two weeks because he really did the best job (I think). You're right, he can take a jab or two (he HAS had to live with Lesbiana Dee, for Chrissakes!)...
bongofl... yes, Lady Jaclyn didn't look quite so plasticky last year, but time gets to all of us... at least we know she still has tear ducts!
rubinia... I'm gonna miss Dallas Daniel, too, it's too bad they didn't have a drag queen challenge like they did on Project Runway, because "Dallas Hayir" would SO have been the perfect way to go for that! :(
fire@will... thanks for the kind compliment! I agree, it wasn't exactly fair that they wet down only one model's hair, but then again, they had only one with that snow shit, and only one jumping on a trampoline and only one doing the swingy-thing... i guess they figured those were level-enough playing fields... I hope I meet Michael someday, I'd like to tell him how glad I am he's BEHIND the camera most of the time!
sayhuh... LOL, enjoy your vacation, TVgasm will be here when you get back and then you can see all the fabuliciousness. Thanks for the compliments (I am going to tell my boyfriend that Chris March has to be our third lover or something) and I'm so happy you've been enjoying my work (on several artistic fronts)... have a safe trip home!
juddfan... I totally KNEW you were gonna love that screen-cap... yeah I don't know what it is about underbelly, but I like it... and if Billy Mays is gonna have a reality show, then I want to have a chance to put some Oxi-Clean on his beard to get some of that damned blacky-inky dye out of it and see what his REAL hair color is...
Kon4Mity... Oh. My. God. I did NOT notice/pick up on that (and I had to watch that scene about six times in a row) but you are totally right, there is a major continuity error there... Nicole walks through the door in a black dress... the behind and above POV shot she is suddenly in a gray dress... the next shot from the front the gray dress has 4 black buttons in a square on the bodice... they cut to Rene Fris... when they cut back she's in the black dress again... OMG! Good catch and sharp eyes! WEird!
Thanks everyone for your positive support, we're almost at the end now... :(
love, J-Mo :)
xoxoxo
