Kelly Atterton jumps in with saying we don't see enough of the client's face, and Nekisa immediately starts in on her typical defensive tack of blaming the client/the wig/the coloring mix/the shears/the astrological configurations and/or the Chinese Government... but now she's sorta crying, too! However, it feels suspiciously calculated and ungenuine to me and I don't trust that it isn't a ploy for sympathy at the expense of her client. Sorry, but I wouldn't put shit like that past her. It seems like the judges barely acknowledge her outburst before moving on to Über-Gay Paulo...
Jaclyn immediately says it reminds her of Farrah Fawcett! Awww, Paulo is on cloud nine to have his work compared to the Fawcetted One! Oscar Balki mumbles something I can't understand and they move on to Bitchy Charlie.
Kelly right away nails Charlie for the one-sided heaviness of the wig, and Oscar Balki completely nukes him when he says...
...It's never fun to get ass-raped by ScoopyNose McMushmouth...
Jaclyn moves it right along to Emo Gail, whose client looks more and more like she'd like to tear that wig off and just beat the shit out of Gail with it. Kelly says Gail's lack of confidence is showing, and Oscar Balki says the wig makes her client look older. Ouch! No woman likes to hear that... except for maybe 16-year-old slutty girls who are trying to lie their way into nightclubs so they can booty-pop and play jail-bait...
Last up is Underdog Nicole and her girl Leilani. Nicole starts to cry as she begins to tell the tale of how she arrived at her client's cut, and this starts Paulo off, which starts me off again... Kim Vo goes in for a closer look and asks if blondes have more fun, and the client says "I know Leilani's gonna have more fun!" Go on, girl!
After deliberating, the top two are called out, and it's Über-Gay Paulo and Underdog Nicole... and the winner is Paulo! Yay for Paulo crawling out of the bottom-dwellers! He is understandably ecstatic (when Jaclyn asks him how it feels to finally win he makes this really weird air-humping gesture that I didn't quite get)... and his enthusiasm is dampened a bit when he finds out that there is no more immunity for winning challenges. Bitchy Charlie actually commisserates on this, the fact that Paulo always gets the short end of the dick... I mean the stick.
And now for the bottom three... Emo Gail (no surprise), Exotic Nekisa (definitely no surprise) and Bitchy Charlie (unfortunately no surprise, either, but then again, these are the only people left who weren't either Top or Middlin's). Lesbiana Dee has put on her gangsta face and is glaring at Jaclyn...
..."Ima cutchu if my girl gets bounced!"...
Never fear, Dee, you're free to drool over Nekisa's giant tits some more. Nekisa is crying in her interview saying that she needs to step up her game. Yeah, about 8 challenges ago, you putz.
Which leaves us with Bitchy Charlie, who gets nailed for playing it safe again and Emo Gail gets hit for having styled the wig so it still looked like a wig.... and it's time to say goodbye to Emo Gail!
She immediately starts crying, which of course sets Paulo off, which sets off Glenn, and Dee, and Nicole, and even Jaclyn can't keep from tearing up...
...and GOD, this shit is just totally reminding me that I have a heart, and as much as I wish like Cher that it was made of stone, it's not... I might have to write a few poems to my cats now and draw some sad clowns... or have another shot of Cuervo. I think I'll stick with the akamahol.
Gail is crying even in her exit interview as she says she's happy she made it this far (as she sobs some more) and that she's filled with "such joy" (as she weeps harder) and then the light goes out on her station... God, next week better be back to drama 'n' shit, I can't take these warm fuzzy weepy episodes...
It looks like we're gonna get our wish as it's the "Charlie's Angels Challenge"! Kate Jackson is gonna guest judge and Exotic SuperBitch Nekisa goes off on a drunken Charlie (who appears entirely unruffled by her outbursts... I can't wait!).
What did you think of this episode? Isn't it awful to not be able to make fun of the clients? Why can't they get a guest judge who speaks English with any fluency? Do you hope that Nekisa is out next week (like I do)?

I love to snark with the best of them (and that would be you, J-Mo) but I could swear that, at the beginning of the elimination challenge, Rene turned to the clients and you could see he wears a hearing aid. Which explains the mush-mouth speech. No more makin' fun..... : (
Oscar, however, is still fair game.

"Next up is Emo Gail's Mullet Comb-over Victim..."
Look at the before and after photos. Does anyone else see that the chin hair is off center in the after photo? The guy will probably have to shave off all of his chin hair and start from scratch. Oh, he will also have to listen to "I
told you so" from his friends
who opted out of the "free haircut".

"Now is Paulo and his Big Sexy Daddy client. the second unruly and uneven soul patch in a row"
Sorry about the first two sentences in my comment. I jumped the gun.

Awww! We can't make fun of Rene anymore? My favorite part is J-Mo transcribing everything he says. And Daniel too. Daniel and Rene should get their own tv show. Imagine the recaps! I would be in heaven.
Hate Nekisa. She is so useless. And when she talks sometimes she drawls like she's drunk. Dee will go absolutely mental when Nekisa is sent home. I can't wait. It can't happen soon enough.

Ohhhh, marishka, dear GOD, no no no no NO, that CAN'T be a hearing aid, it's GOT to be just a plain ear-piece that René is using in order for Bravo to feed him his silly lines ("Okay, René, now tell them to SHAYGEDD!") it just HAS to be, I won't allow him to be handicapable like that.
Seriously, it HAS to be, or I am SO frying in hell by this early afternoon after all the fun I've made of his ESL speeches... you could be right, though... but it seems weird, I would have thought this would have come up in an interview somewhere, or maybe he's just a really good lip-reader... ugh, hate hate hate to have René taken away from me... I might still make fun since I'm probably hell-bound after all the debauched things I did in Louisville this weekend... eh well...
love, J-Mo :)

Actually, I don't find it particularly cruel to transcribe his speech, whatever the cause, and it is enjoyable, and this recap, almost challenging to decipher all the accents . . . esp bitch guy . . . well, it clearly seems Gail isn't as experienced as the others, and all knew, hence the tears--I don't really feel too sad when they leave, tho I was misty watching "She's Got the Look" as I liked most of them toward the end--I did feel sad for these brave women, and in the end, Nicole's look rocked, the pics on line look great! A huge improvement, and she took 10 years off her--Cute, cute, cute!
J-mo, I love your knowledge of wigs, and you're absolutely right that drag queens would be the experts on that! I keep looking at those helmet-y wigs and thinking, couldn't they layer, or like Glenn's bitch girl, it was like a blunt cut of the ends. I also thought the comb over mullet was way better than the description--I didn't see the hair loss . . . call me crazy!!!
Well, Jmo, for me you can mock whoever whenever, it's always a blast! glad to hear you had a weekend of debauchery-I bet you could write a movie script about the whole thing!!!

J-Mo, you are adorable! Thanks so much for posting your YouTube video from this week. Love the recaps, been reading for a while and your video made me jump to posting. Keep it coming, I'm addicted to tvgasm! By the way... Skunky McPussMunch... GENIUS! SHEAR GENIUS!!

Dear J-Mo,
Feel free to mock whomever you want, but never, ever, ever, ever (to infinity) say anything disparaging about LEO!!

Oh, J-Mo, please don't stop on my account! I won't be offended. I'll meet you in hell!
: )

j-mo you are adorable. seriously. and hilarious.
um can nekisa be less 'exotic nekisa' and more 'obnoxious nekisa'? honestly. cannot stand. do not want. she always has a different reason for why she sucks. i only need one: because she sucks.
liking paulo more and more, not sure if he's actually a spiky boob or was edited as such at first.

I couldn't read the whole recap before I posted, but I have to have to have to before I leave on my vacation next week. I'm bummed, because I'll have limited internet access (they count it there in GBs, and my husband and I get 1 for the two of us - what is that in hours?) so I'll probably be missing the recaps for the rest of the summer... Grrrrrrrrr. I just wanted to tell you again how rockin' your recaps are, J-Mo, glad you had fun and managed to dodge all the stilettos in your trip, hope to have the chance to read the rest when I get back, CERTAINLY hope that you'll be recapping more shows for TVGasm when Shear Boob is over, and I'll meet you all in hell where we can laugh over Wene's transcribed accent (although he was quite a sweetie helping out with the wig this episode, wasn't he?) And when I saw the drag queen fest photo, am I the only one who had a little twinge of hope of seeing Chris March there in one of his Valkyrie outfits?

marishka, I think I'm gonna keep on to make fon ov Wené Fwiss and heez reedekolus ocksaynt because I am juss dat waiy. Besides, after I saw that some of the others over on bloggingsheargenius dot com actually made bald lady jokes in THEIR recaps, I felt a LOT better about mine (Sorry, I know these ladies are not being threatened with cancer, but even a cold-hearted cynic like myself can appreciate how much guts it would take for ANY woman to go on TV and just BE bald and NOT be Sinead O'Connor). So anyhow, deaf or not, René gets no pass... I'll see you in Hell's Kitchen, sayyyy around 8:30? Maybe Gordon Ramsay's crew of idiots can poison us with their raw meat.
Gertrude, honey, the fact that you read my blitherings is good enough for me, thank you for taking the time to comment...
shelleyh, I'm glad you have fun with my fun-with-phonetics, as Dallas Daniel would say "Thayat's swaite of yew!" Also, thank you for sharing my hoagie of hatred for Bitchzotic Nekisa, I can tell you feel where I'm coming from... wait. til. you. see. the. shit. she. pulled. last. night.
juddfan, thanks as always for the kissy-smoochies, I know I got a little carried away with Oscar Balki's trascriptions, but Jesus, I couldn't get "haard core duud" out of my head for HOURS... oh yeah, and on the DL... I made a new friend this weekend with a big ol' southern bubba... and he opened doors for me, so I felt the spirit of the Judd!
BugMom22, awww, shucks, *blush* you're too kind... I'm glad you're having a good time with this shit, I know I'm having a blast AND it's like free therapy so I take my aggression out on reality TV and not the world at large...
Pegster... never, ever, ever, ever? To infinity? And maybe beyond? You MUST know that to make such a demand of a smart-ass is dangerous and delicate work at best... if you had written just ONE more "ever" then you would have almost certainly GUARANTEED that I would have found a way to bring up the movie "The Beach" in my next recap, apropos or not... but since you restrained yourself, I will do my best to keep the Leonardo DiCaprio name out of my mouth... *ptooie!* There you go! kissies!
mrsdaddytom, your existential analysis is spot-on... Nekisa sucks simply because she sucks, and you're right, that's all we need to know. For realsies, thank you for the kind words, it makes my day fly by... xoxox
sayhuh, darlin', all I can say is... ¡Señora dulce, espero que sus vacaciones se estén relajando y que diversión! No se preocupe del TVgasm, todavía será aquí cuando usted vuelve, y usted podrá leer cómo los finales de la competición fue… ¡Tenga un gran tiempo! If any of that is wrong, blame babelfish. Also, I believe you gasmii are not going to be rid of me so quickly, for after "Shear Genius" completes this season, I am scheduled to start working on Season Two of Top Design!... AND the new "Shear Genius" spin-off "Salon Takeover With Tabatha"... yes, bitches, she's gonna get to cut up random salon employees and I, for one, cannot wait!
love, J-Mo :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the YouTube video! damn good choreography. wish i could've seen that in person. christina best be shakin in her boots!
personally, i'm not surprised for a second about wenay. i could've sworn there was a bit of a 'deaf' lilt in there and almost mentioned as much in previous comments. but his speech impediment doesn't make him any less endearing, it's the damn "hi-hi" that makes me want to take him out with garden shears.

j to the mo, you will be recapping the tabatha spin off????
that just made, like, the rest of my life.
xoxoxoxoxox!!!!!
