I'll just answer here to my other post too and to Brillke.

WOW...... Amazing how we see things so differently.
I HATE that cavalier I don't give a SH*T attitude in peeps.
Espesh when it borders on total lack of respect and insensitivity.

I'm not saying Tyson might not have been egotistical and maybe she didn't like him.
The respectful adult classy thing to do would have been to try and get along and not try and turn everyone against him and I think she did just that....Not for strategy ....Just for sport.

But ...GOD..... Most of them were egotistical.

Her dislike of him to ME bordered on obsessive..But who knows what went on.
Just by what I saw...Tyson was ok....He wasn't so bad...We can't use conjecture and only think it was all editing or only believe her just because you like her....If it was ego she hated about him..Why only him?????
Dr. Boogie had a BIG ego too.
I'm not so SURE I'm right either...I could be wrong....I really hate when peeps come on here so dead set sure without all the facts.
I can only comment on what I saw.

I don't HATE Tab at all.
But I think peeps like her who are all bad a*s have insecurities.
That's just MHO.
When asked why she didn't like him...she almost stuttered...All she could come up with was
he looked like an evil elf....Wha????

Come on bad a*s beeyatch..Tell us something a bit more concrete than that!!!

I hope you don't mean me attacking anyone.
I was taking issue with the the blah blah blah yada yada yada's to my opinions is all which to me is saying...you are dumb and your opinion is stupid!!!
Something Tab might say.
I was NOT mad at the disagreement part at ALL!!!!

Look we all like who we like and are drawn to peeps for all kind sof reasons..If Tab was my friend and acted like that.
I wouldn't stand for it..I have a cousin like that and I can't stand that attitude.
I want to be around supportive loving kind peeps.
It is quite possible to be confident and self assured without all that meanness.

Rooting on behavior like hers .....to ME....is like rooting for the Roman's to feed the Christians to the lions.

I woulda' been right there with her if he was a mean spirited nasty jerk...But I never saw that.
He handled it all so well and he loves his momma...........Awwww

And just because Anthony wasn't in a good mood one night doesn't mean the big bad editors contrived it all either once again.

I'm sure many of them didn't LOVE Tyson.
But not anyone else acted the way she did towards him.


OK......I FINALLY got to post as this board has been sticky all night!!! Shweeeew.

All I have to say is: Go Romans! Go!

[SafetyPinndSally]

Uh yeah, I'm not an Elizabeth...I don't look stupid and brainwashed do I?

Anyways, since Boogey and Tab are gone, I guess I'll have to root for Daisy...she's the only one left with any talent and a small ego.

[aquariaqueen]

Geez, can't this be a Rosie free-zone????
I wish she got back to just being funny and entertaining.

I believe Ben won the challenge with his vertical hair.

Watching the SG marathon at the moment! I still can't believe what Dr. B. did to that poor woman during the day to night quick challenge! She should have grabbed those hedgeclippers of Eva's and jammed them into his freakin' neck!! That was bloody awfull!! She had this long, gorgeous red hair and he almost eviscerated it punking it out like that!! I'm so glad he was auf'd after all that "jumpin' in" during that photo shoot!! He must be Bi; "Bi-polar" to believe he's as great as he is!! lol!!

[IronChef]

Uh yeah, I'm not an Elizabeth...I don't look stupid and brainwashed do I?

I think I must've missed something. Romans? Elizabeth? I'm starting to think I just stepped into Bill & Ted's Excellent Phonebooth Shaped History Blender! All I can picture is Spartacus taking tea with Queen E, and I'm sure that's not the reference I was supposed to get, so ... which Romans are supposed to go, and which Elizabeth trumps which Rosie? Is this Roseanne Barr we're talking about, Rosie O'Donnell or the "ring around the" type of rosie? I don't watch "The View," so please bear with me!

All I know is, I don't think Brillke was being intentionally rude when she typed "blah blah blah" and "yada yada yada," but the "editing schmediting" comment in reply to her did seem a litle reactionary (and I know it wasn't you who commented that way, SPS, it was someone else entirely--I sometimes long for the days when the entire thread could be quoted instead of just the last entry).

Regardless, I think there will always be a faction who cries "that's the way peeps are!" and another faction who cries back "they're just edited that way!" Having met and/or spoken with at least a couple of previous Bravo show contestants, I'm more inclined to side with the "edited" faction than not, but that's just me.

Anyways, since Boogey and Tab are gone, I guess I'll have to root for Daisy...she's the only one left with any talent and a small ego.

To be honest, I've kinda lost touch with the show in general since the whole "Tab 'N Ty" debacle, and that's not even because I really liked or disliked either one, it's just that I seem to only be interested in watching either Project Runway or Top Chef, and everything else seems like just a bland alternative.

I haven't read back to see what you're talking about, but let me put in my 2 cents! People may not like what Rosie has to say, but someone has to express the truth!! I guess Republicans have found they can get away with murder as long as they treat us like children and assure us everything is fine when it isn't!! Most politicians are "s c u m b a g s," but Republicans have taken it to a new level!! Under their leadership, we are just about bankrupt, the world loaths us to the max, and we are on a path for total annihilation by ignoring the environment!! Rosie and Keith Oberman for that matter on MSNBC try to inform, educate, and expose the hypocracy and lies of the Republcian party, and I for one appreciate it!! People don't like to hear bad news, but I think we have to finally grow up and take responsibility for letting this happen by giving this NUT carte blanche to run the country into the ground!! His tenure will affect the lives of the US for generations to come and not in a positive way!! I still wonder where his support is coming from!! They must hate the country as much as they always seem to protray liberal secular-progressives!! It's liberal thinking that dropped the chains from slaves, gave woman and blacks the right to vote, and so-called free speech which is being assailed everyday by conservatives!! What is wrong with these people?? Rosie is just doing us a service!! I'm no fan, but truth and honesty should not be stiffled!! Living with our heads in the sand is not an option anymore!!

[antiques]

Okay was it just me or was Anthony like a totally different person last night on the reunion show! I thought all along he was very sweet and had a big heart and then last night it was just like he did not have anything nice to say! I thought it was really weird. I have to say I am rooting for BEN! I like Daisy alot also so if either of those two win I will be happy! Who would have ever thought that such a hard core looking rocker dude would have such a big heart? GO BEN!!!!!

I got the feeling that Anthony became disgusted with Boogie's huge ego and gloating and Tabatha's horrible and spiteful manner. The sniveling beady eyed monster won the money and it sucks. Anthony carried himself with dignity and poise but snotty behavior won out. It doesn't make sense. Everyone talks about Tyson having such an ego, but Boogie was much worse.
Anthony and Ben are tops to me. They are genuine, kind and talented.
I was disgusted that the others disrespected Ben on the reunion. What is the reward for being haughty, arrogant, snide and mean? More air time and attention.
Tabatha should NOT have won the money. But of course, nice guys finish last.

Yada yada yada..Blah blah blah to everything you just said...Oh.....I wasn't being rude!!!!

That's really nice, Kristl. Thanks so much for that. Glad to know I'm in good company.

I'm sure everyone was a little put off by Ben making the final! All season his styles have been plain and unimaginative!! Off the top of my head I can recount how confused he was with most of the challenges, that up-doo for Vanessa Williams which looked like she had slept it off, the 20's style with the limp pin curls, not being able to work with chemicals effectively, having no clue about ethnic hair, and finally lucking out with the rock style to make the final!! He doesn't come close to the ability of the people who were auf'd like Tabatha, Tyson, Danna, and even Dr. B.!! This is a freakin' joke and he should be thanking "his Almighty" (whomever) that he lucked out like this!! What a disgrace!! Tabatha made the season and deserved that check!! She was shear genius for most of the challenges!!

[b]Well....It feels rude........doesn't it???

In the first instance? Not so much. It was opinion. In the last one, though? Yours? I think it was blatantly intentional.

Just trying to make a point as I'm the other person who mentioned editing shmediting and was reactionary.....Well YEAH..I reacted!!!

I didn't mention you, specifically, though. You did. And I still say the response was overreactionary, because I don't think the original context was inflammatory, just opinionated.

rude to me is all...Nuff said...I'm over it....We'll fight like guys..dust the dust off and shake hands.....Guys got it going on!!

Indeed. I'm over it too, and was just stating my opinion. Sorry if that brassed you off. I have a hard time letting things go when they brass me off, so you probably understand. Is that fighting like a guy or a girl? I'm not so sure these days ...

[SafetyPinndSally]

So just because she did that to you, you felt the need to sink down to an even more childish level? Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic.

Yeah, we get that it seemed rude to you, but you should of been the bigger person and just let it go, but you didn't and now you come off as being the childish one, not brillke.

Eh, argueing online is so passe and done.

[lildeviltjs2]

Try this link it is his myspace page! He has the video on there! I myself thought it was great! LOL So did my Fiance and he is usually not into that kind of stuff! I think it is called haircuts in the summertime!

http://www.myspace.com/benmollin

I don't care what anyone else has to say I believe he is very very talented and it would be wonderful to have him as my hairdresser! Maybe it is just me but I want someone who can relate with me and not act like they are better then me! Since the show has been on I have sent a couple messages and comments to Ben on myspace and he is awsome! He has responded to everyone of them and very fast! That shows me he really cares about people and not just himself!!!!! With that said GO BEN!

[IronChef]

So just because she did that to you, you felt the need to sink down to an even more childish level? Your logic does not resemble our Earth logic.

To be honest, I've never really understood the "I'm going to use your own tactic against you, so I can give you a taste of your own medicine" method of debate.

Yeah, we get that it seemed rude to you, but you should of been the bigger person and just let it go, but you didn't and now you come off as being the childish one, not brillke.

I, for one, am trying to let it go. I mean, there are far more important things in life to deal with than an argument on the internet, right?

Eh, argueing online is so passe and done.

Exactly. Now, I don't mean to be crass (my nephew is developmentally disabled, after all), but there are times when I agree with the following statement:

"Winning a fight on the Internet is like winning the special olympics--you may have won, but you're still retarded."

Apologies in advance for any offense ...

~L~

well said! i don't understand the love for ben? sure he's prolly cool but his hairstyling is wack!

No offense taken here, I actually quite like that saying myself as it gets the point across quite nicely. Some people just like taking out their anger on people who they only talk to online, I guess it makes them feel better to act the child and be ugly towards others online. It's not needed, but it happens and it makes me laugh every single time because some people can truly be pathetic.

Another favorite saying: "Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one."

[skwij]

The largest ego on that set is Sally, and she drives me nutz.

Her technique when showing "her" signature cut was sloppy and inaccurate. Her attitude was the pits. Asking "is this the first time you've sectioned hair" when her own sections sucked is just lame and catty. She can't make up her mind if she likes bold or "safe".

She's far too opinionated for a one cut wonder. I for one wouldn't even pay $30 USD for her to cut my hair, let alone the $600 she claims to charge.

[ack]

Sally does have a big ego. Rene and Jaclyn are the ones I like the most. But boy did Sally look like Shane from The L word on the reunion show!

I'll have to watch it again because I didn't think Anthony was out of line, and he didn't say Evangelin belonged in a mental institution. I thought he was making little silly jokes - which were far more tame than anything Tabatha, Boogie or the judges ever said.

I don't think anyone disrespected Ben. The body of his work also makes me believe that he is in the finals because of luck. More talented people were elliminated. He seems like a level-headed and cool guy, but some of the others were better.

I have found the judges to be a little inconsistent. They tell the stylists to take risks and be strong with their clients, but slam them when they do.

I think Daisy will win, but I really like Anthony. Out of the three left, Daisy has been the most consistently good.

[brillke]

OY
It bothered me..I said it..SO?????
Why should I let it go????
You don't see to be able to either.

Let someone yada yada yada you and blah blah blah you and see how you like it????

I could go on and on and on and argue my point and try and explain myself and past history and all that rot and also..how this is so mild and tame compared to some of the stuff I have seen written here by the very parties themselves involved including hate.... vitriol and snark and why THAT didn't offend you and also how you seem to admire childish behavior as per Tabitha ...So why would this bother you?????


OH maybe I should say..I don't give a F*CK what peeps think I can be rude to whomever I like cause I'm such a bad arse beeeyatch and they are all weasels and evil elves????
Would that gain me some respect and 10 grand maybe???


AND how someone saying yada yada yada to my post specifically and to my words specifically wouldn't be seen as being directed specifically to me no matter how you word it ..............
(Did I say specifically enough????) and why aren't I allowed to express that ...BUT....NO I won't !!!!

We haven't had a BIG fight on this board in a LONG time...We're about due

All I will say is :
This is the LAST word about this subject from me.

I try real hard not to get into these kinds of fights and have done pretty well so far.
One of the peeps involved even edited my posts in the past to make me look bad.

So yeah... I might be a bit touchy..
I do apologize for being a bit beeyatchy right now but ya' know it does happen I'm only human and even Anthony the Saint had a bad day.


It's not gonna change anyone's minds to keep this going and will do no good.

Anyone else comments on it I will NOT respond.
Here's a beer..Cheers... Slainte'..Salute and have a great weekend everyone!!!!


Can't get the beer pic up..It was frosty and cold!!!

I thought I explained myself but if you still feel I was rude, I apologize. OK?


I have read every reply to this and please tell me you dont think Im the Elizabeth in conversation.


I will say this, you say one thing but do another. You want sunshine and daisys with free puppies for all on one hand yet on the other you do a post like this one. I guess we all do at times. As you said, we are human.



"by the very parties themselves involved including hate.... vitriol and snark and why THAT didn't offend you and also how you seem to admire childish behavior as per Tabitha ...So why would this bother you?????"


BTW, you proved my point yet again with the above comment.


"One of the peeps involved even edited my posts in the past to make me look bad."

Please explain this statement. Since it is you and I "fighting" I guess, do you mean I edited your post?


Well, looks like we finally had some board drama this week on this board. Yippee. I love the show and the boards might be a bit slow but I found them interesting without the drama.


Kris, feel free to PM me if you want or we can go on like nuttin happened. Its all good,

[IronChef]

I tried asking before, and got nothing but misconstrued, but I'm going to try this again: who is this "Elizabeth" person??

"One of the peeps involved even edited my posts in the past to make me look bad."

Please explain this statement. Since it is you and I "fighting" I guess, do you mean I edited your post?

Unless she was referring to me, although I don't remember "editing schmediting" (sorry, I couldn't resist, since this whole flap developed over an argument about editing anyway) anyone's post, let alone to make anyone look bad. I barely post here, and I think I've been pretty benign, actually, especially compared to past debates on other B-boards.

Well, looks like we finally had some board drama this week on this board. Yippee.

I know, right? It's a little sad when the drama on the boards trumps the actual show, innit?

I love the show and the boards might be a bit slow but I found them interesting without the drama.
Kris, feel free to PM me if you want or we can go on like nuttin happened. Its all good,

And if I'm the culprit in question, anyone involved can PM me too if you wanna. I'll be hanging out with Colonel Mustard. In the Billiard Room. With a candlestick.
