The special "Shear Genius" reunion episode airs tonight, right after the regular episode! Talk about it here!

(Do you guys agree with the fan favorite winner?)

First..lol

Go Tabitha...oops ment Ben....oops ment Boogie...oops ment Anthony..oops ment Daisy! Oh heck good luck to all of them!

Crabby Tabby...No so much.

OMG, Andy Cohen has Paris Hilton eyes!!! Why on earth didn't Bravo just have Jaclyn host the reunion? She's completely engaging. Andy Cohen's onscreen persona is beyond obnoxious, and the wonky eye just seals it. Somebody please give this cross-eyed sister a vanity check and keep him OFFscreen!!!

I thoroughly agreed with the decision and picked her before they even announced it!! Theodore was a bit disappointed if the editing was accurate!! He was a doll, but Tabatha made the season!! She was very consistant and probably should have won if she hadn't been so concerned about Tyson and making sure he was auf'd!! Too bad!! She's still SHEAR GENIUS!! Good luck GIRL!!

Did my Tabatha win fan favorite?

I didn't mention it trying not to be a "spoiler!" lol!!

you know I have to say, I totally respected Tabitha professioanlly and thought she, daisy and tyson were probably the best, but it really hurts me to think that viewers are that keen on someone who cared more about someone leaving the show than anything else. She was so horrid about tyson and so b*tchy and that's fine, but for people to like her so much, it's just sad to me. It's sad that she felt she needed to be so rude and coarse and that people like that so much. now, if she is fan favorite b/c of the hair, that's another thing of course I like ben cuz he's real. at this point, I guess I'd go for Daisy on pure talent though. Ben on personality. I still felt Paul Jean left way to early. I sure wish someone would have said, yeah, Sally and Michael are just [expletive deleted]!

Yeah right; "real!" Real Bad!! lol!! We aren't "keen" on Tabatha because of her animous towards Tyson I don't think!! She was truly talented and let her emotions get the best of her!! I was no fan of Tyson!! His ego was larger than his weasley little body!! Even when confronted by all the other stylists saying they felt the same, he couldn't accept it!! He just went into some schpeel that they fell right into his hands concentrating and "talking" about him!! What a doofus!!

Paul Jean probably was one of the best, but he cut his own throat with that horrid doo with mismatched extentions!! I knew he was history and nothing could save him!! Ben is obviously the luckiest man in the world!! He totally cruised under the radar just getting by and wound up in the final!! I'm as disgusted as I've ever been for these "Top" productions, but sometimes that's all it takes!! Poor Tabatha, Paul Jean, and Danna who were 10 times better than he'll ever be!! How did he even make the show?? I'm still appalled and hope Anthony pulls it out!! He deserves it, but I can live with Miss Gabby!!

I can't believe Jim still defended that hair coloring that got him cut. To be honest, I felt bad for some of the hopeful faces that lighted up when Andy started to mention the fan favorite.

Having fallen asleep twice during the airing of the Reunion Show I think what happened was that Tabitha was named fan favorite, correct? I am surprised if my assumption is correct. Yes she was interesting and kept the show moving, but usually the fans pick someone with more of a pleasing presentation. Personally I always got a kick out of her attitude except for the episode where she ripped on Tyson. I was not particularly a Tyson fan but I thought her ripping on him to the judges was a little tacky. It was obvious she did not like him from the start but their was no need to proceed with her tyraid about him to the judges. With that said, Go Tabitha!

I am glad that Tabatha got fan favorite.

I enjoyed the show, but it was hard to stay awake....I needed to go to bed. I will try to catch it again, and really check it out.

Agree, I wish Jacq would have hosted the show.

Poor theodore, he thought he would get fan fave...sorry bud.

Who would your top 3 have been?

I would have loved a threesome of Tabatha, Anthony and Daisy!!!
I enjoy Ben but don't think he has quite the flair as the others, but I think Mark said it best when he said he had intuition.

Hmmmm, the first 3 syllables of intuition is spelled IN-TU-IT. Into it. Clever little word, I need to use it more!!!

GLOATER!!!!!!!!!!!

ALOHA

HAVE FUN

Tabatha got alot of controversal air time, she was definitly one of the most talked about. also I for one never voted, it be interesting to see the number of how many people did actually vote. also these had to be called in about two weeks ago I guess. they should have done the reunion after the final episode, i have never heard of a reunion with the show still not over. I bet daisy whould have won fan favorite.
Tabatha was my favorite Villian , Daisy is only now (past three episodes) beginnig to be recognised, I have never seen her name mentioned before that on these boards "anywhere" so i really think she did not stand out. she is a low key, non conflictive competitor who does not need to rag,put down other stlylist, be rude and/or agressive or hateful to win. . I like Dr B but he is a huge Liar and that turned me off about him in the end. very anoying in the final challenge, and he refuses to come out of the closet "be who you are and be proud" Eva was whackier than ever! what was up with the chainsaw haircut she gave herself? Tabatha must have read what people where saying about her because she was a little nicer last night, except her hatred was still visable in her eyes, someone needs to take her to disney world for some R&R.

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 noticed that as well. Do you think it could be because he felt jilted in the end result of the show? Remember, it's been taped already, but they couldn't comment on the results.

Did anyone else think it was strange to have a reunion show when the series wasn't completed?

No not particularly, Bravo does some strange things. I have a feeling it was something they wanted to try, to see if it would fly. Didn't they do it that way on another show? I was glad to see that they presented the fan favorite prior to the last episode. It kinda gets lost when we know who won the last challenge. It also could be that the other reunion shows don't pull the audiences when it is shown after the final challenge. As we know it is about ratings.

Oh and also I was a little confused because they were talking about the wall of fame being the Kiss of Death and the guy that was hosting the show said well Ben if that is true it looks like you will be next! BUT......didn't Daisy win the challenge? I dont know maybe I heard it wrong! Did anyone else hear it?

I believe Ben won the challenge with his vertical hair.

I must have been Half asleep! LOL Thanks for clearing it up for me!

I guess I need to watch it again!! lol!! The only thing I remember about Anthony was his sqeal when Tyson thought Anthony had the biggest ego!! lol!! Notice everyone thought Tyson was the true villian of the show!! Tabatha won the fan favorite, and I wasn't surprised at all!! She really gave the show some life and she can't be as mean as all that since she on more than one occassion saw Anthony as a good friend!! She's rooting for him as well over Ben (the luckiest man alive) and Daisy (Miss Gabby)!! Good luck guys!!

PUBLIC APOLOGY....Lildevil......you were right, Daisy won the final competition. It was not Ben. And you're right, his comment about the wall of doom didn't make sense.

Sorry......
Queenie

No that is just fine you dont have to apologize! It was very possible I heard it wrong! LOL But I just watched it again to! LOL It is funny what you pick up sometimes! And what you miss!!!!

For the record, they didn't think Tyson was the biggest villain - they thought he had the biggest ego.

Then they went and showed a collection of Jean Paul clips that demonstrated that he was probably the biggest ego of the bunch.

Tyson may be full of himself (and wasn't the most gifted stylist), but he comported himself as a professional through the entire show. Even when Tabetha ripped on him at the reunion special, he focused on how he respected her ability... It was all like:

Tyson: I respect Tabetha as a stylist

Tabetha: Evil leprechaun! He is an evil leprechaun!

Tyson: I think she does great work.

Tabetha: He is short and evil and full of himself.

Tyson: We might not get along, but she is an outstanding stylist.

Tabetha Fans: HOLY CATS STOP HATING ON TABETHA YOU EVIL LEPRECHAUN

WHAT THE? I'M SURPRISED THAT TABBY WON THE MONEY! SHE NEEDS TO SPEND IT ON SOME COUNSELING. I HAVE BEEN IN THE HAIR INDUSTRY FOR 17 YEARS,AND I HAVE WORKED WITH SOME TABBYS BEFORE AND ITS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. I HAVE BEEN A SALON OWNER NOW FOR 9 YEARS,AND I WOULD NEVER HIRE SUCH A RUDE,INSECURE SO CALLED PROFESSIONAL. HER PISSY ATTITUDE ONLY BRINGS TENSION AND STRESS IN A SALON. CLIENTS SENSE THAT, AND I BELIEVE YOU LOSE MORE BUSINESS THAN YOU WOULD GAIN. TYSON HAS SHOWN SO MUCH CLASS, EVEN THOUGH SHE CONTINUES TO INSULT HIM.WHY? I ONLY WISH I COULD BE THAT COOL. I WOULD TOTALLY SLAM THAT HUSSY. AND I WAS SURPRISED THE JUDGE SAID SHE WOULD HIRE HER! HAS SHE BEEN GOOD FOR THE SHOW? OF COURSE, SHES ALL DRAMA. WOULD MOST OF US REAL TALENTED PROFESSIONALS WANT TO SEE HER AT WORK? NOT!!!!!!! GO DAISY AND BEN ! I LUV THE WAY YOU FOCUS ON YOUR WORK, AND YOU MAKE IT ALL ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS! NOW THATS WHAT I WANT TO SEE! YOU MAKE OUR PROFESSION FUN AND EXCITING!

Hear, Hear hilitegal, I totally agree with you.

Why did they have a reunion show before the season finale? I missed it, but they will probably show it again. I hope Daisy or Anthony wins.

Nope, not strange at all. Thats how theyve done many reunion shows. The TC1 reunion was done that way.

Why do people keep forgetting about editing? We didnt see Anthony in on the Tabatha/Evangalin fight until the reunion show, right? Editing! If the majority of the stylist had problems with Tysons ego then something leads me to believe he was an a-hole.

Blah Blah Blah insecurites yada yada yada mean people. Come on yall, give Bravo credit for their amazing editing.


And yes, I am a huge Tabatha fan too. Was very happy she won the fan favorite.

Actually, when I first heard him say it, I thought the same thing. What he really meant (regardless of how he worded it) was that if it's true, that the Wall of Fame is doomed, then Ben will be the one to take the cake . . . because he's the only one in the finale to not have won a challenge.

I have to say, though, despite him not winning any challenges, I think Ben is great! He's been fairly consistent. If you look back, he was in the top two or three just as often as he was in the bottom, if not more. They loved his "Sally Shag," his "Rocker," his 40s-inspired do, etc., and he was often in the middle, not the fav. but not the worst. Can't knock a guy for that! I don't think it's nearly as much about luck as some think. He's quite talented.

I wasnt blah-blahing you so much as the idea of believing what Bravo has allowed us to see. As I had stated, we did not see Anthony in on the Tabatha/Evagilin fight, did we? No, Bravo hadnt shown us one image of Anthony other then him working and laughing. Well, now you have people who are a bit upset at Anthony for his additude during the reunion show. How do we know he wasnt that way the entire time? Gotta love editing.Others have complained about Tyson and didnt he himself say he had been manipulative? Not sure where I read or heard that so if someone else saw it too, please PM me the source and I will give credit where its due.

Tyson wasnt crying foul and he was there and saw it all. I just think its funny we have to accuse someone of being a bully,being obsessed or insecure if they dont get along. I am not BFF with every single person I meet, are you? There are also some people who get on my last f`ing nerve too. Put me in a place with them for 6-8 weeks and I bet I will be a biatch too.


If your last sentence was meant as an insult, it only proves my point. I disagreed with you therefore I must be a bully and insecure,right?

I think you might be in error when you say no one else really had a problem with Tyson. I remember when they had the Hair thru the Ages segment, Dr. Boogie, Tabitha, and someone else were laughing and chatting it up because Tabitha had given him a hair do that required being in an upsweep. Up until then Tyson had trouble with putting hair up as I remember. From that segment I think more than just Tabitha had trouble with Tyson. Also remember Dr. Boogie made that comment, "he ------ and smokes those cigarettes," that was said in less than a "I like him manner." Just my observation on the situation, I can not remember any others right now but I am sure if I watched the season episodes again I could find more. The only difference between Dr. Boogie and others was they did not stand in front of the judges and tell how they felt about Tyson only Tabitha did that one. When it comes down to it, Sheer Genius was really almost free of the ripping up the other contestants. I liked it with less drama personally, but that is just my humble opinion.

How could you not like Ben? He's a total sweetheart, he's not as combatative or obnoxious, and he's very down to earth. He's a team player, he's extremely cooperative, he has a great sense of humor, and he doesn't think he's superior to anyone else, like some of the stylists. Despite Ben's innumerable tattoos and plugged earlobes, he's got one of the best personalities on the show. . . .IMHO.

Good point. . .I think that because Andy has close-set eyes and a narrow pupil distance, the camera is "pulling" his pupils closer together, creating the illusion of having cross-eyes. Jaclyn would have been a great choice -- she seems to have already established a certain level of comfort with the hair stylists, and Jaclyn is always so professional, too.

I love Tab, I love her attitude and how she doesn't give a flying f*ck what anyone thinks of her, she is who she is. Tyson was a greasy egomaniac who gave me the wiggins. I don't blame her for not liking him, or anyone else for that matter because he seemed to think that he was the best and how dare someone like Tab not bow down to his ego. We must remember, children, that editing is the key. These shows are edited within an inch of their lives and as we all know, Bravo is notorious for editing the sh*t out of something just for ratings sake. Let's play nice and not attack people just because they have differing opinions or because they like Tab, the great bad hair witch.

LOL... I appreciated Tabitha's searing honesty and her acerbic wit. I also enjoyed Tab's cavalier attitude. It took me a few eposides to get used to Tab's look. At first, I thought she was quite odd looking, with her wide-set eyes, turned up nose, elfish ears, and her blindingly platnium blonde pixie-cut hair style. I thought she was pretty hilarious though, especially in her neurotic loathing of Tyson! Tyson's ego was also pretty hysterical!

mzcastle have u seen ben's homemade salon video that prolly got him on the show? not much of a sweetheart or serious stylist. i will be very dissapointed if he wins it all because he should have been gone on the vanessa williams challenge. his style was unwearable, period. evangelin was not cute but wearable. she was cut due the garden shear fiasco. now we see how much of a riff it caused with everyone professionally.

anthony was a bit spicy. me thinks he didn't win.

Anyone know where I could find this video? Are all the stylist's videos available???
I'll start searching the site, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Queenie

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

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.

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

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!!

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.



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.

Lia

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!!

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.

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!!
