José asks Nicole why she went so dark with one of the sisters, and she makes up a plausible speech about them both being singers and needing to stand out from one another on stage, but then the real truth comes out when she also admits that Twinella #3b wasn't about to change her blonde hair color (I think Twinella #3a is sweeter for helping Nicole take the chance, it could have gone all NightMeredith on them and she'd have had a platter of poo all over her head, but it actually looks quite nice). Of course, both Twinella 3's are gooily loving their new looks... *sigh* come ON, people, where is the bitchy set of twins who have hated each other their whole lives and refuse to agree about sharing the same set of parents, much less an embryonic zygote!!!
It looks like Dallas Daniel may have gotten them...
Daniel added a lot of extra hayir pieces to Twinella #4b, who got the lighter blonde of the two, and Twinella #4a kinda got a darker, more fug shade that just looks dirty to me (but then perhaps fug is appropriate for Twinella #4a, because maybe she's a dirty girl at heart, who knows?). Also, Daniel said these two were only 25 and my BullShitOMeter squawked loudly (ok, to be fair, I could be totally wrong, but do they really look 25 to you?)... Interestingly, José only asks Twinella #4b if she likes her hair...
...sorry Twinella #4a, no one cares if you like your fug or not...
Underdog Nicole thinks José really liked what Daniel did so she's all worried, but to be honest, José seems like such a happy-go-lucky guy that he just loves hair, and being around hair, and hairstylists, and hair products and hair salons... or he's heavily medicated. He says "Zat wuzza vayrey cloze call, a vayrey toff decizion, bot ze winner of zis Short Cot challenge too-daye.... eez Nee-cole!" Nicole promptly ruptures my eardrums with her shrill screams of triumph... I'm happy for her, though, she's kinda had to put up with a lot of shit from the likes of Female Glenn and Dallas Daniel and Lesbiana Dee and Bitchy Charlie (and even Exotic-Yet-Sucky Nekisa) for being so "green" to the hair biz, and here she is going to the finals for sure! Nicole says she's "freaking out" about 67 times in a row. I believe her. I'm off to go find some cotton balls in case she goes off again...
...Freaking out. Right now. Freaking. Now. Freak. Ow...
Ahhhhh, the harsh angles of Casa De Malo Pelo... as Bitchy Charlie goes running up the stairs yelling "You fucking bitch got immunity?!??!? Let's throw Nicole off the balcony!" But he says it with love. Kinda. Dallas Daniel isn't bothered by the fact that Nicole has a guaranteed spot in the final, he still insists that she is the weakest competitor... okay honey, but her brunette didn't look fug, someone else with sputum-green glasses frames was not so lucky today. Nicole ganks Charlie's line and says that because Charlie, Daniel and Dee are so competitive that it's really going to be a beauty bloodbath at the next day's challenge... oh Darling Nikki, don't front, you know if you were one of them you'd be ready to cut a bitch up, too...
Smoggy daylight returns, and the stylestants are entering a real-live studio photo-shoot, where our favorite GayDane René Fris is waiting for them. "Ass you can seee, we haff tagen yoo awaiy from da salon todaiy and bawt yoo too a L.A. styudioo..." He goes on to introduce one of the most well-known celebrity and fashion photographers in the world who has photographed entertainers from "Loozy Loo" to "Steeve Maaaten" and has published a book called "Negged Embishun"! Wait a minute, Lucy Liu? Steve Martin? That's the biggest and best they could do for this guy? Well, I guess maybe because Lucy was in the "Charlie's Angels" remakes, but still, it's soooo 2004... Anyhow, the super-high-end celebrity fashion photographer is Michael Grecco.... and it becomes immediately clear why he's the photographer...
...severe schnozitis...
Plus, he is a beeeeeeeYOTCH! With a capital A for Asshat. And an extra dosage of Vitamin C for U kNow whaT.... the four lambs to the slaughter pick scissor boxes and we're on our way into Photo-Shoot Hell™...
Today's Elimination Challenge is called (for now, anyhow) "Avant-Garde Photo Shoot", and each of the four have been given one of the four seasons that they have to create an avant-garde hairstyle for... and Bitchy Charlie says he is "officially in heaven" because he loooooves this kind of stuff (I've been to his website, he ain't kidding)...
...Charlie in heaven...

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
