Model and handbag designer Camila Alves takes the reins as host in Bravo's hair-styling competition series. Hair stylists from around the country vie for a grand prize of $100,000. Also new to the show are judges Jonathan Antin (``Blow Out'') and Orlando Pita. The format remains the same, however: each week, contestants are given a challenge, the judges decide whose performance was the best, and one contestant is sent packing. The last stylist standing takes home the prize.
Welcome to the final challenge, where our stylists are vying to be the shearest, geniusest one of all.
Weirdly, Brig is outside playing with a Barbie now, though honestly I'm not sure why I'm surprised by anything she does/wears/says at this point.
It's been a long road on Shear Genius, littered with the burned-out shells of some genuinely awful hairstyles, some real talent that just fell short in a pinch. I can say confidently that I called two out of the final three finalists standing after the first episode.
I usually like the short-cut challenges on Shear Genius better than the elimination challenges. They seem to be less random than those on Top Chef, and they're usually laden with fun tricks or shameless ploys to make us pay attention (witness last week's challenge involving 6-year-olds going to first grade).
Sometimes Shear Genius can seem a little bit random. People who you know are talented struggle, and others whose continuing presence is an utter mystery remain safe. And sometimes people who brought something to the table with personality get the hook.
This week on Shear Genius was just, well, weird. If that's not redundant. Any episode of any show that can combine peanut butter, molasses, anchovies, dogs, and Jaclyn Smith in gold leather pants may have just gone over the edge.
