Shear Genius: Here Comes the Challenge

No post from last week's episode of Bravo's Shear Genius, but I'm back this week with a recap. Last night was a pretty good episode, too. The show started out with the contestants meeting renowned stylist Jose Eber in a mall, obviously. He explained to them that their challenge was to pair off and convince people in the mall to get a haircut. They could charge whatever they wanted for the cuts, and the team who made the most money would win. Pretty simple!

Tabatha and Tyson won the mall challenge by doing fewer cuts for more money per cut. They ended up making over $700, which was more than the other two teams combined. Daisy and Anthony didn't do a bad job, but Dr. Boogie and Ben came in last... possibly because Ben was dressed like a ninja (don't ask, because I don't have an answer.)

The elimination challenge asked the contestants to stay in their pairs and create wedding hairdos. They had only a few hours to style the bride, mother of the bride and maid of honor. The losing team would both be eliminated from the show, so the stakes were high. Daisy and Anthony once again worked very well as a team and make a look that really went well with their party's dresses and personalities. They were the clear winners.

Unfortunately, Tabatha and Tyson did not work well together, and after Tab admitted to the judges that she didn't care for Tyson at all, they were both cut from the show. I think it's sad that they were both eliminated. They were probably the two best stylists on the show, but sometimes when you make model look like she's going to a middle school homecoming instead of her wedding, you gotta peace out.
