When I first started watching Shear Genius I didn't much care for Tabitha, but the more I watch the better I like her. I just want Tyson GONE.

Experimental TV: Non-Fiction
This thread is part of an experiment to discern the Buffistas' future interest in television discussion. It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]
I love Figjam (Fuck, I'm great! Just ask me) and I'm going to start using it.
FIGJAM!
Totally watching right now.
GO SHAKE IT
Fuck. Boogie wasn't kidding. You get on that wall, you go.
Let's hope it's Tyson next week.
Well, damn. It's true! Getting up on the wall of fame is the kiss of death. Gotta give props to Tyson, even if I don't like him, he done good.
I'd have picked the other one for the win, but yeah.
And Daisy sure deserved it. That was godawful.
Where is she from, anyway? Can anyone place that accent?
Do you mean Danna, brenda?
She's from South Africa.
She's from South Africa originally.
Shear Genius: The first bit was like my nightmare episode! You take all these guys with gorgeous long hair and whack it all off! I'm a sucker for long hair on guys. But at least a few of those cuts were reasonable, although Tyson's was awful.
FIGJAM! That's perfect for him. Man, he cannot go ten minutes without self-aggrandization.
And what the hell, man? How can you take a fantastic era for hair like the 40s and make it look dowdy? Nothing good about that style at all.
I know they said that Tabatha's mohawk was what they expected, but with hair that length, what else would have worked for 80s punk, do you think? And let me just say, especially for fine hair, it is damn hard to make it look like that. Part of the reason you can do a mohawk is that it's so much less in volume because of the shaved bits. Making the non-hawked bits sleek and clean like that is difficult.
I liked Ben's pincurls. I thought the feathers were a bit much, but they were probably in his kit, huh?
I thought Anthony was going to go. You get an over-the-top era like the 60s when you know there are other over-the-top eras going, and why don't you blow it out, have fun with it?
I think in some ways, the more elaborate the era, the better the hair looked, but partially because of the costuming. It's easy to picture the era with the full-blown gear on.
Oh, and I was annoyed that everyone's references were period film references.
