Shear Genius: Rainbows & Angels (a.k.a. Gaybos vs. Lesbos)

Once upon a time, there were seven little stylists who went to the Shear Genius Cosmetology Academy... and they were each assigned very hazardous challenges... but *I* took them away from all of that... and now they work for me... my name... is J-Mo! "... dt-tss-dt-tss-dt-tss-dt-tss-dt-tss-dt-tss-dt-tss-dt-tss, dooo-de-dooooooo de doo-doo-doo dooo-de-dooooooo de doo-doo-dooooooooooo..."

...yes, on tonight's episode of Shear Genius we are treated to more drag queen hair, more rollercoaster rides of emotion, and even some more tears (Paulo)... but unlike last week where we were hamstrung from really releasing our inner bitches in the face of innocent alopecia victims, this week there's a huge bitch-fest at Casa De Malo Pelo... Lesbiana Dee and Exotic Nekisa find their relationship consummated with the help of Bitchy Charlie... and Kate Jackson still feels the sting of being "the smart one" even 30 years after the fact! Grab your Super-Mega-Hold Aqua-Net (white can with pink lettering!) and your pick and let's jump right on in after the jump!!!....

I never thought seeing Emo Gail leave would be so sad, but her tears melted my heart a little bit... but then I remembered that Exotic Nekisa is still around, and that froze me right back up again. Thanks Nekisa! You always know how to harden something on a man, even us gay ones! I'll tell you straight up, I could care less anymore who wins the money and the other prizes in the package, I just want to see Nekisa get gone... will my wishes and evil prayers (and Santerìa sacrifices) pay off? We'll just have to wait and see...

Tonight's recap is brought to you by none other than...

...Bitchy Charlie (in full-on Bitch Mode™, extra Bitch Sneer™ sold separately)...

Some of my friends are giving me shit because they can't stand Charlie, but I staunchly defend his right to be a Shit-Stirring-Queenella, because that makes for great TV, and because he doesn't let these other bitches get away with their big bags of bullshit. Arright? Say what you will, but his acerbic tongue keeps things on the real side, and in a world that drowns us in daily fakery, it's refreshing (to me, anyhow) to come across a gravelly voice calling out for a little truth. Plus I bet Charlie's a freeeeeeak in bed. Just a hunch.

Anyhow, the Shear Genius Nexxus Salon is looking larger and larger as the group shrinks smaller and smaller, and this morning Jaclyn is accompanied by none other than former Asian and current Starchild Colorist, the ever-creepy and strangely compelling Kim Vo!...

...I wonder how it feels to wander around always looking like you just got punched in the mouth? Hmmmmm...

Jaclyn congratulates Über-Gay Paulo on his win and they all ooh and ahh over the badly-lit display on the "Allure Bus-Stop Ad Of Fame"...

sg_episode_206_pic_26.jpg

...You know you've made it on this show when your display rates four fluorescent tube-lights... and none of them are flickering or buzzing...

Jaclyn wastes no time and jumps right into this week's Short Cut Challenge (helpfully called "Rainbow Connection") in which the stylestants will each find a cutesy muppet out on the road and help them get to Hollywood to make a movie about them getting to Hollywood! And they all get horribly chewed up by the relentless Hollywood Machinery and wind up as sex-slaves on drugs (don't tell me a few of you haven't had some kind of fantasy about Miss Piggy as a dominatrix, you know you do!) Be right back, I'm hungry and I need to go fry up some bacon.

...You know you want this...

Okay, I"m back. *chomp* Now, actually this is going to be "the color challenge" in which the stylestants are supposed to make use of vivid, vibrant, garish, artificial hair coloring... and for once it's okay. Dammit, Drag Queen Meredith's brilliant Bozo Red from a few weeks ago would have been so awesome in this challenge! *sigh* Girl, you were ahead of your time.

So, that's why gayxie Kim Vo is here, to judge them on their coloring jobs today, which makes Dallas Daniel just erect with love as he says "Ah thaink Kim Vo is vayry talented, he is the color god...." and Daniel proceeds to start making angelic "ahhhh-ahhhhhhhhh" sounds as he worships Kim Vo, The Color God...

...which is just perfect since Daniel is the Color Fuschia... and he wants to blow Kim Vo...

Great Recap! This is turning out just like Top Chef where somehow Lisa made it all the way to the final after being in the bottom every week.

I heart Kate Jackson!

Great recap!!!!!

LeeH:

Hilarious recap, J-Mo! God, how is Nekisa still there??!?

fire@will:

IMO Nekisa remains because she makes better TV than the ones who go.

Based on your screen caps, IMO Kate and Jaclyn both look fabulous.

Don't watch it, but your recaps are priceless! Thanks!

skies:

Funny, funny recap. The quotes under the pics are priceless...Dairy Queen hairstyle..LOL. You took no prisoners this week.
Our Nekisa is the cockroach of the Shear Genius war. It's the only explaination to why she's still there.

mrsdaddytom:

oh j-mo...

when you say things like, "you cross-eyed pint-sized hard-faced poonhound," and "My mouth just dropped open, so I had to put another beer in there," you make me laugh so hard that i get nervous looks from my colleagues and quickly have to minimize the tvgasm window so i look like i'm actually just incredibly amused by my work.

fire@will--totally agree. nekisa is there because they are hoping she will continue to say ridiculous, unfounded things about how it's everybody/thing's fault except for hers that she blows fat cock.

did anyone else think that both nekisa and charlie were slurring a pretty ridiculous amount during that whole fight? i mean honestly how many drinks had they consumed at that point? it was like watching a couple of completely cracked out bitches in a backwoods bar fight over a man who's already snuck out the back door.

now, this episode deals with an issue i take with pretty much every bravo show i've ever watched: the fact that they do not look at a contestant's entire body of work, but just the work on that episode, when deciding who goes home. i feel like there should be more attention paid to continuing suckage. after last season's top chef, i've named this "the lisa conundrum." if someone is ALWAYS in the bottom, please just get rid of them. please. it hurts, it really does.

this is why tabatha should be a regular judge. she never would have stood for this crap. ooh let's have her takeover nekisa's salon!!!

J-Mo:

Thanks for the awesome comments you guys! As always, I love to see what you think, and I'm excited for this week's show tomorrow night...

tsl... I totally agree with you, Nekisa is the booger on the finger of "Shear Genius", the show shakes and it shakes, but she just won't fly free and be gone... I'm gonna go look for some kleenex...

tsl... I totally agree with you, Nekisa is the booger on the finger of "Shear Genius", the show shakes and it shakes, but she just won't fly free and be gone... I'm gonna go look for some kleenex... (déjà vu!)

silver... I heart tvgasm readers along with Kate Jackson...

LeeH... thank you for the kind compliment, and I believe that Nekisa is also benefitting from the Power Of Lesbiana Protection... since the producers have a partial hand in who goes and who stays I'm guessing they're all afraid Dee's gonna cut 'em!

fire@will... Yes, Nekisa does give us somebody to hate on (I thought that role was going to be Charlie's but he's turning out to be a chunky bald angel who's just kinda bitchy sometimes). I also agree with you that Jaclyn and Kate both look pretty damn good... it's kinda sad that Farrah is so busted-looking nowadays (and I KNOW she has cancer, but she's had no excuse for her pre-cancer days... well, at least not one you could publish without getting sued over). As always, I am willing to watch and help guide so you don't have to if you don't want to... kissy-smoochies!

skies... yes, I probably seemed a tad bitter this week (hence no prisoners) but I really get tired of overbearing lesbianas on TV telling everybody what to do all the time (*cough*oprah*cough*). At least when Daniel, or Paulo, or Charlie is gonna say something not so kind about someone else, they give it a healthy dash of bitchy, cutting humor... Dee just sounds pissed off whenever things don't go her way. She will probably come find me and kill me if she ever finds these recaps. I may be living on borrowed time. Excuse me while I go get drunk for a bit...

mrsdaddytom... you are too kind! I laugh a lot at tvgasm.com, too, and sometimes I have had the same reaction from coworkers as well. I'm glad it's not just me (spread the word to your friends, the world needs more laughter) and if you can pull it off where your work can be construed as amusing that is amazing! I have a rougher time with that as MY work consists of claims adjudication for Medicare D. Yeah. Not so amusing. Damn!

I did find it interesting how drunk both Nekisa and Charlie seemed to be while they were fighting, which could explain why he seemed so blasé about her attacks... I know when *I* get a good buzz going I don't really care about much (other than wondering "did I just pee myself???... Hmmmmm.")

And yes, I agree sometimes I think they should take previous work into account... at least on certain challenges... I think these awful people who hang on week after week because someone sucks a little bit more than they do gives them some kind of false impression of their skills... I know Lisa seemed to think she was a hot-shit chef after she made it to the finals, ignoring all the other horrid garbagey food she served in the preceding 13 weeks. Nekisa probably thinks she's a bad-ass hair-burner after surviving to be in the top 6 (out of 12!!!! GAWD that's depressing!).

Thank all of you for your comments, I love it love it love it!

lovin' it,
xoxox

J-Mo :)

Thanks for the recap, J-mo!!!! I for one thought all the wacky colors were ridonk, except the vaginal bird of paradise . . . is it the lesbian in me? Charlie's was a soft serve yogurt with swirls of flavors--just a wrong style for sporty bright colors . . . His winning was like a fix, I totally think he's in the producers pocket, and probably knows why they keep Excusa!!! Don't get me wrong, I think Charlie's one of us, except he says it out loud.

Funny to see Jaclyn soooo disappointed, and Kate was completely useless, but a hoot none the less, with no opinion on anything, not even cleverly disguised as a Nina Garcia "no comment"

Call me crazy, as usual, but I did not think Jaclyn or Kate's hair on Angels was iconic . . . at all, esp. not Kate's!!! But I do feel for her getting all the botched bobs as interpretation!!! Her hair looks lovely now, and more modern than Jaclyn . . . and J-mo, I think the reason Farrah looks all washed up is she waited to long to do a little maintainence, so by the time she got to pulling there was just too much to tug . . . just an opinion!!!!

HEARTS, DIAMONDS, STARS and CLOVERS!!!!

xpedestrianx:

I had to stop mid-recap to comment because I was cracking up! When Dallas Daniel says they're going to take down anyone in the room that has a vagina and then he leans in to his client and whispers "not you" that kind of made my entire day. I laughed so hard- if I'm having a bad day, I think of that scene and I start laughing all over again. And I think the elephant in the room (obviously the worst stylist, considering she's been in the bottom how many times?) should really just leave- they should have booted her off because of her consistent failure. I'd rather keep someone who made a teeny error in judgment than someone who sucks nonstop.

mamatl:

Sorry, J-MO, but I had to stop reading after you conjured up the image of Charlie getting freaky in the bedroom. I'll be back to read the rest of the recap after a few glasses of wine have eradicated said image from my subconscious....
