tiggy's warning made me hesitate to go forward.

Wouldn't that be a hell of a hack, to infiltrate that site tonight and plug in a vulnerability?

Two eliminations on Shear Genius! And the second challenge was just nutty.

Seriously! And I didn't think Evangelin's risk taking would pay off like that. Ballsy and creative but not playing the game right necessarily. Still you had to be impressed with what she did with hedge clippers.

I predicted Lacey would be the next to go and boom off she went. Tyson's cut in the first challenge was by far the best. So he is as good with the scissors as he says is. (Again and again and again.)

Dr. Boogie's reliance on the clippers is going to be his undoing. Ben almost blew it in this round and he was lucky to survive. Bad tool choice.

Tyson agrees with me that Tabitha and Anthony are his biggest competition. Ultimately Tabitha will go down because she's not going to serve her client properly - not for lack of skill. But Tyson was smart to arrange the order the way he did. Pretty much exactly as I would've ranked them. Ben and Daisy are a notch below but both very versatile. They don't have any obvious weaknesses, except for Daisy's poor time management. But they don't have that extra level of genius. Evangelin's a wild card. She's been in the top three twice and the bottom three once. She won't win but she could go deep. That short cut she did in the second ep was very very cute and showed some ability.

But it will probably come down to Anthony, Tyson and Tabitha unless somebody can take advantage of an elimination round to put them in the hole. Tyson almost cut Ben out of this round by his ordering.

Pussycat Dolls: Oh please. Could that song selection have been more rigged? And while I will admit that Asia can dance like one of the PCDs, she's so tiny next to them that she looks more like their mascot. Sadly, I can't wait for next season.

ANTM: Clip show? Fuckers.

Shear Genius: Tyson reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on who it was. It's been bugging me for three weeks now. Tonight, I finally put it together. He's Riff Raff. I'm going to spend the rest of this show waiting for him to do the Time Warp. Again.

I can't believe that Evangelin made it work. Though that poor model. How nerve wracking must it have been for her to not just sit there while some crazy woman took hedge clippers to her head but also to have to hold out her hair with her fingers as the hedge clippers came towards her? GAH. I hope they medicated her when it was over.

Looking at the preview for next week, it seems that Evangelin is going to make the clippers a part of her new schtick. Which is already annoying to me.

I also watched a marathon today of the first season of Project Runway. It made me nostalgic.

Last night before Bob and I watched AI his mom called and said, "oh, Robert, did you see AI? It was a travesty!" He immediately interrupted her and told her we hadn't seen it. All throughout, when Ryan was teasing the "shocking!" boot we were like, "it's got to be Jordin. Why else would your mom react like that?!" So the best part of the episode was the end, when we realized that "no boot" was tragic to Bob's mom.

Pussycat Dolls: Oh please. Could that song selection have been more rigged? And while I will admit that Asia can dance like one of the PCDs, she's so tiny next to them that she looks more like their mascot. Sadly, I can't wait for next season.

I'm watching it right now, and I was thinking the same thing about the songs possibly being rigged. I was also thinking how happy I am that the season is over so I don't have to feel so guilty about watching it anymore.

I justified it by recording it and just fast forwarding to the performance parts. Oh, and Nicole (lead singer) needs to eat a sandwich.

I saw the promos for the PCD show ... got a big laugh when one hopeful said she wanted to win because (can't remember the exact wording) the Pussycat Dolls exemplify female empowerment. um, no.

Work out: Why didn't Jackie at least bring her sketches with her to the meeting?

Shear Genius: I know, totally. I couldn't believe Evangelin pulled it off, but I have to admit, her client looked great. Tyson was right with his ordering, but probably wrong to admit how he did it. If I were Boogie, I'd be all miffed. You think I'm the least competition? Although because of the nature of the challenge, it was probably a good order, because none of the tools there were Boogie's first choice. Even though he got decent scissors, it wasn't going to be a good option for him.

I would like to see Anthony step it up a little bit. I think he's got talent, but we've yet to see him come out with something completely stunning. While I agree with Tyson that he's major competition, he should listen to the advice they gave Boogie and make sure he doesn't stagnate in the middle.

Tabatha. What can I say about her? I almost invariably love her cuts, but man she is so bitchy and whiny to her clients, I would never get my hair cut by her. But I love that when Tyson was asking everybody to name their reasons why he should pick them, she was totally, you shouldn't pick me. Implying that she was competition for him, and sure enough, he put her last. And rightfully so, in my opinion. Although I can't believe she was able to cut anything with those kid scissors.

Tyson is, well, kinda hot. I think his self-promotion is going to make me sick here, but the problem is that he's got the competence to back it up. It'll trip him up at some point, I'm thinking, but he really does have a good aesthetic and excellent technical skills. I have a competence kink.

I didn't mind the double elimination and am all right with both of the people gone. Lacey was just stupid. It was clearly stated in the challenge guidelines that part of the judging was to see how closely it matched the specified cut. And her lines were all weird. It wasn't even a very attractive cut judged on its on merits, and Sally was right, it certainly wasn't a shag. And then she knew halfway through it was going to be an elim, and the cut was long enough she could have corrected it, but she didn't.

Theo, too, just didn't manage the basic form of the challenge. It wasn't a long to medium challenge, it was long to short, and that cut just wasn't.

Although I've got to say, that must have been a completely traumatic experience for those clients and most of them will never ever cut their hair again. Going long to short is scary enough, without someone coming at you with hedge clippers. Having done it myself several times, that first "snip" is the loudest sound in the world, without your stylist being panicky and unsure with their tools!
