We were lucky enough to have two back-to-back episodes of entertaining reality television last night and don't you worry, poodles. We haven't forgotten about the second episode.
This was kind of a crazy-ass but entertaining challenge. Sure, clients get shuffled back and forth in busy salons, but not every 15 minutes. Still, it was fun to watch.
Truth be told, while it produced some drama, it's really to everyone's credit how relatively low-key it was.
Congratulations, Skunky Brewster!
You hit the reality TV trifecta! You won a challenge by producing a cut and style that wasn't really noticeably different from half the other entries, you hit on a hot married co-contestant,
and you BROUGHT IT when the local villain opted to play out his role as expected. Kudos to you, darling! Had you gotten drunk and arrested, Emmys would have rained down on the producers.
And then there's poor Meredith.
This frame right here would be a textbook example of "Loser edit." When they grin like that, you can bank on the inspirational exit speech complete with luggage by the end of the hour.
Disaster.
These wigstands must be really hungry for that big break. How else to explain their glassy-eyed acceptance of that which would normally drive the average woman into frothing rage? Show us a woman sitting in a salon with THAT look on her face after THAT was done to her hair. Not gonna happen. In truth, the average woman would conduct herself such that the scene would end with her being herded into a cop car, the salon floor slick with blood behind her.
Oh, don't look at us like that, Meredith. We love you, we really do. But this wasn't just ass hair, it was FLAMING ass hair.
On to that elimination challenge, which we loved, by the way. A tense and creative challenge that paralleled real-world salon experience. But honestly, it didn't occur to any of the stylists that in a reproduce-the-look-at-home challenge, the wigstands would be, y'know...sent home to reproduce the look?
Congrats, Glenn! We love Glenn too (is it a good thing or a bad thing that we are so filled with love this season?). And she's got a hot husband, going by her myspace page. Brava, darling.
It was a nice, low-key transformation that flattered the client and gave her something to work with. Although to be perfectly fair, the client didn't do all that great a job reproducing Glenn's look.
Oh Meredith, honey. We were bereft when it was down to you and Nekisa last night, knowing that one of our favorite gals was going home. That really sucked.
On the other hand:
So did your haircut.
SAIDWITHLOVE!SAIDWITHLOVE!
We don't know what else to say. It was just this sad lumpy thing on her head. She looked like she had a wig on backwards.
Still, as upset as we were watching Meredith and Nekisa waiting for the axe to fall, we couldn't help but laugh through our tears as we watched Nekisa,
in true Diva fashion,
totally make the moment all about herself.
Meredith just found out she's going home and the bitch just totally pulled focus off her. We thought she was gonna knock her over with all her wailing and lamentations.
God, we love her.
