Then Kim Vo jumps in and says that he hates contradictory textures in hairstyles, such as curls with braids (this violates Laws of Physics in the Kim Vo-iverse) and he says "It's like taking a laxative and a sleeping pill in one night, I don't understand it!" Ooooh, that one's gonna leave a mark, Kim Vo! (Although, not as much of one as he thinks, because that's not his own original line... I knew I had read that somewhere before, and its actually a quote from comic writer Dave Barry, so Kim ripped him off!). Daniel gracefully tries to defend himself saying that he knew a braid would hold up under the water mist. Then Asshat Michael says "I do like what we did at the end when we brought the hair down and then started creative shaping!" Um, what's with the "we" shit, Michael, I don't remember you doing anything more than bitching and being pissy and mean to Daniel... oh and dumping buckets of water on the model's head. Prick.
Jaclyn tries to give him a little encouragement by saying that he didn't give up and kept trying to pull tricks out of his bag... Daniel looks like he's about to cry. I would have been blubbering on the floor already (or starting to whip my Buxton Bag around my head like a sling in the hopes of beaning Michael Checco in the head with my iPod and $958.26 in spare change... fucker).
Next in line for a cornholing is Lesbiana Dee and her Mop-Headed Leafy Lolita...
...and Autumn in Toxic Waste Town™ looks positively emetic... the model looks like she wants to hurl...
...girlfriend kinda reminded me of Hilary Swank back in "The Next Karate Kid" days...
Lesbiana Dee says that because they don't really see the seasons change in Miami she thought of fall in New York. Kim Vo is feeling feisty today (probably high off of the success of his stolen laxative/sleeping pill joke) and asks her if she cut off a lot of the model's hair. Dee admits to it, and Kim goes for the kill by saying that it's the same cut she always does...
...make all the dagger eyes you want, girl, you're about to get busted...
This comment caused Nicole to giggle behind her hand and exchange a glance with Charlie. I thought I'd take a look back and see if Kim is right on, or if he's just whistling Dixie through those creepy rubbery lips of his...
...turns out he's right on the money... even down to the one male cut she did!...
Dee is on the defensive saying she did not want to do an up-do like everyone else was doing, and that she loved her cut (but of course she did). Linda Wells is actually quite kind here and says it was a beautiful "daytime cut" that was useable and wearable by anyone... and then she steps over into the territory of Not-So-Kind when she says that when the model jumped, the hair 'broke into little bits" and the bangs got so short they got that "village idiot kind of look". Michael goes in for the coup-de-grace as he says it wasn't the right hairstyle at all for what he was looking for. Tssssss! Zowie!
It's now Underdog Nicole's turn to trot forth her Wintery White Witch...
...Nucular Winter is more like it... and what's with the stabby icicle, is that what killed her?...
...I love the "cocaine 'round the eyes" style of make-up, like she fell face-first into her stash...
Nicole talks about her soft waves and curls some more, and mentions adding the matchy-matchy extensions that were the same color as the wine-red dress. Michael disagrees with her choice (of course) and says that platinum hair pieces would have looked better. My guess is if she had used platinum, he would have come back and asked why she didn't use red to match the dress. Linda gives kudos to Nicole for working so hard and being "incredibly cooperative" (a.k.a. "taking it up the ass from MichaelBitch without complaining about the pain or bleeding") and that's about all they have to say about her! Immunity is a wonderful thing. She's lucky she got it, or I think she would have been sent packing.
Last is our Bitchy Charlie and his Silky Spring Silhouetta...
...why is Springtime so sad?... probly cuz the bitch is hungry, someone get her a $5 footlong from Subway!...
...big beautiful bed head (with flowers)!...

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
