I think Ben is a great guy...No gossip..Straight up a good dude.At least from what I've seen.
As far as his skills..I'm sure he's fantastic in his element....He just might be more specific..He had to be pretty good to get on the how methinks.
I think the gig is that they are looking for person with the best skills across the board. I know very little about hairstyling, but it would seem that, like being a chef, there are certain basics that a winner should be able to accomplish, the more creatively the better.
It seems like they've covered a lot of ground this season, as far as what goes on in the hairstyling world. Ben is obviously really good in his element, but whether he has the versatility...don't know.
He's definitely one of the most likeable people. It makes me a little uncomfortable thinking that my peers (my fellow Shear Genius viewers) thought Tabitha was their favorite. She is such a petty, vindictive, ferret-faced, immature shrew. I feel like I need to take a shower every time she goes off on one of her hateful rants.
Her comment calling Tyson an "evil leprechaun" wins the clueless hypocrisy award of the season, that's for sure.
