I will stop and say that according to the majority of online chatter I've been seeing, an awful lot of people think that Bitchy Charlie got robbed... one posted a comment on another site that said they met Female Glenn and her husband (wouldn't it be weird if his name was Glenn, too?), and that she said if we could have all seen all the things that Charlie can do with hair, then we would all understand why he should have been the winner. However, this may not be all bad, because I'm sure Lesbiana Dee will have to spend the next year promoting the shit out of Nexxus products, whether she likes them or not....

Oh, and at the recently held 2008 North American Hairstyling Awards (a.k.a. the NAHA's) guess who won Hairstylist Of The Year? Charlie Price. Out of 610 stylists who entered. Which do you think carries more clout, an industry-recognized award like NAHA, or a reality-TV-show one? My point exactly.

I want to say thanks to everybody who logged on and slogged through my overly-long recaps, I know it's a struggle to get through them, and I'm sure some of you may fallen asleep along the way... I have thoroughly enjoyed all of your comments and feedback and conspiracy theories, I feel honored to have found a small niche at TVgasm (and big BIG thanks to Flipit for taking a chance on a total unknown such as myself who showed up at the eleventh hour) and I hope you guys have felt I did some justice to the work done here. It is truly one of my greatest joys to share my idiocy, my lunacy and my totally unwarranted bitchiness with those who can appreciate such qualities. Thanks guys! I'll see you next week with the premiere of Top Design (since Bravo has apparently decided to be super-cheap and not even do a reunion show for Shear Genius 2) and a new episode of Salon Takeover With Tabatha has just aired, so keep an eye out for another recap coming soon!

love, J-Mo :)

J-Mo your recaps are hilarious. When you mentioned the Catshit lady I snorted I was laughing so hard.

I can't wait to read your Top Design recaps (last season was a giant bucket of crazy, so here's hoping Bravo got some more nutjobs) and I love the Salon Takeover ones.

I also got pissed that Dee won but she did a much better job on this particular challenge than Charlie. He can style hair wonderfully but his styles didn't seem to fit what they were supposed to be doing. He gave them movie set hair, not hair they would wear off the set (except for the oldest woman who I thought looked fantastic).

J-Mo;

Another great recap! However, I think that Dee's 60 year old should be named Mama Crackles instead. That bat-shit crazy squirrel has to be the spawn of this gal.

Overall, I think Charlie was definately the best hairdresser and I am disappointed that he didn't win, but perhaps it's for the best. Just like American Idol, sometimes the almosts ultimately do much better than the winners.

I also very much enjoyed your Taking Over recap. Tabatha is just the SHIT and I love watching her kick ass. I thought she should have went much farther last season, but it looks like she got a much better "ultimate prize" than the $100 G's. Do her justice!!

Looking forward to reading your covers of Top Design as well. Judging by last year, there should be much fodder for your recaps.

Lots O' Love!

aman:

did anyone notice that dee was wearing the same outfit in the elimination that 12 pack from i love money wore at HIS elimination this week!!!

fire@will:

Your recaps were the real SHEAR GENIUS.

Charlie was robbed.

Detinha:

Thanks for the great recap, J-mo!
I'm happy Dee won, at least she'll do something nice with her money.
Looking forward for the Salon TakeOver recap!
xoxoxo

skies:

Loved the recap.
I think shows like this should take past winnings into consideration. Dee sucked most of the time while Charlie(I think)had the most wins.
The misspelling of Avant Garde was too funny...Spell check anyone?
Is it just me or does Rene pose like a cheerleader ready for her routine? Hands on hips, ready, go!!

arizonatom:

aman:
By sheer luck (hmm ... good or bad?) I happened to see 12-pack getting eliminated and thought he looked stoopid in the black shirt, white tie and red jacket - and totally noticed that Dee wore the exact same combo. I guess we know what other show SHE likes to watch and take her fashion inspiration from! LOL!

mrsdaddytom:

hm, methinks i waited a while to read this because i'm that depressed that it (and your supersnarky recaps) are over. sob!

super-cute points for:
-a tom collicchio mention. mmmm, rawr.
-the convo between rene fris and dee. amazing.
-being the cutest thing ever. always.

and now, on to tabatha's takeover! :o) thanks for the great season, love!

mrsdaddytom:

p.s. i agree, charlie was robbed. ROBBED.

shelleyh:

Boooo! I was hoping Charlie would have won. This season was way more entertaining than last year. And J-Mo, your recaps are awesome. The longer the better. Ahem.

Holy crap, Dee and 12 Pack DID have the same outfit on! I did not catch that.

My favorite part of this episode was Rene explaining to the styliss, "You have thwee hours for this challenge. Wead my lips. Thwee hours." If only we could read those lips, Rene. I will miss good ol Rene. Maybe he could be a very special guest star on Salon Takeover? One can only hope.

juddfan:

Sob, I'll miss these recaps, Jmo!!!! sniff, but I'll be tuning in for the others--I'm glad you got me watching the show, as it was fun, esp since bitchy charlie stayed bitchy. I did think his final styles where pretty wonk, sadly, they all looked old world old, you know how Doris Day was probably 20 but she looks like a 40 year old from today, same for men, like a Cary Grant . . . maybe just the styles, but alas, I did feel for LD when she was crying how it wasn't going how she planned, and I liked Cackles the Clown, she seemed a hoot, esp with the gentle prodding, "but I have roots, um they're going to show"--I was ready for her to say, hand me that dye!!!! Honestly, 3 hours . . . ahem . . . I'd really rather see them get a proper amount of time and then fail because they suck and not coz they were rushed.

Gwen Stephanie my ass, that was prom photo circa 1940's . . . and the Scarlet one, altho a big improvement, still didn't look good.

As for D--the 30 year old music star looked like Amy Grant in the 80's, and the girl crying about the length . . . should'a saved them fightin' words for the bangs . . . Great catch on the Cher cover!!!

Much love and many kisses!!!!

sayhuh:

Huh? Wha? Dee? Or is it my jet lag playing tricks with my mind? No matter, I guess after Drag Queen Meredith, Paulo and Daniel left, I didn't care who won. Not that I liked their hairstyles (actually, I don't think I liked that many hairstyles in the entire run of the show), I just liked them. So of course they wouldn't have won the fan favorite award, either, I guess. Man, I have so much to catch up on. I just watched the one where Nekisa got booted! Yay! Anyway, J-Mo, thanks for all your hilarious recaps and sweet comments to all your fans. I am really looking forward to the Top Design recaps, and I enjoyed reading the Salon Takeover with Albino Ferret-Face recap. Catch you next week!

J-Mo:

Wow, thank all you guys for all your comments this season, it's been so much fun, and I really hope they start to do "Shear Genius" with the regularity that they're doing "Top Chef" and "Project Runway", it's hard to wait 18 months in between shows...

BTW, guys, keep your eyes open later for my special Q&A with Charlie Price... coming soon!

love always,

J-Mo :)
