Jacqueline Smith sure doesn't sugarcoat her criticism when they botch something up. (But Padma's still my favorite judge).

I wonder if the poor red-headed girl was told what Meredith originally intended so she could finish it. They commented that they didn't have time to complete the color - so maybe there was another step or two that could tone it down. I sure hope so for that poor gal's sake! That color was just garish!

I think when the judges are critiquing the stylists, they should temper their criticism a bit. Those poor customers have to hear how awful their haircuts look on them! Oh yeah, and what's up with Paulo calling his client a bit*h just because she cried about her hair changes while with other stylists? That's enough to make many people never want to go to him, I sure wouldn't!

Yes, they did say there were some steps missing in her color process. I am SO over Charlie. He just talks in sound bites.

Meredith absolutely deserved to go after what she did to that poor girl's head. Especially after claiming she does curly hair. I have curly hair. If I went to a stylist and she did that to me, I'd fire her, demand all my money back, and let everyone know just how horrible she was. You never EVER do what she did (the blow dry top with the curls underneath) because you end up with a mushroom. In addition, it's been really humid here lately, so can you imagine what that blow dry would've looked like in a few hours? That was gawdawful and for that she needed to go. The other bottom two... I'm over Nekisa always whining about losing (duh! you think?) and Charlie's 'tude is really starting to bother me. He's danged lucky he had immunity cause I think he might've been the one to go. Her color was horrid, and her cut wasn't all that hot either. And to admit he spent the time b-s'ing with his client? Hello! This isn't a talk show, it's a hair show! I'd really like to see them do a challenge where ALL the girls have very curly hair. If you can really do curly hair (unlike what I saw Meredith do), then you can do anything. Heck, I'd even audition to be a hair model, if they'd guarantee they wouldn't cut it! Styling curly hair, whether you keep the curls or go straight, is a real challenge and people just don't get it. Soapbox? You bet! I've lived with curls my entire life and I laugh whenever someone says they do curly hair. Cause 90% of the time, no they don't. Sheesh!!!

This episode was fun (first half) and very moving (second half)--and even trumped Project Runway for me tonight in "show value". I thought it was absolutely wonderful that the two people who seemed to care the most, ended up in the top two positions. This was such an imaginative (cutting wigs) and satisfying theme--and almost redeems the show for its orange county fiasco of a couple weeks ago. And yes, Darrellh, it did have me in tears.

Oh, and by the way...... Gail is gone, which seemed like the right decision. Surprising to see Charlie at the bottom again!

Count me as another teary-eyed viewer. Fantastic show, but Charlie seems to have lost his mojo. It was definitely a helmet-head style. Congrats Paolo! I'm glad he won - and very glad that Nicole came in second.

I am so over Charlie. I hope he leaves soon. Costa- about curly hair- it is so misunderstood! I don't have near the curls you do but for years my hairdresser gave me perms until I switched to someone who laughed out loud and gave me a cut that showed me I had tons of natural curl and did not need a perm- ever!

It was very touching and I was happy with the top two.. Nicole was kind and gave Paulo second choice, too, and it worked! I loved that some of those who predicted that Nicole would fail didn't do so well on this week's challenges.. Wish Charlie would go, but Gail was also needing to be gone. Some of them should be able to take their wigs and get them thinned or restyled too.

LOL, Megs!!! That's hilarious! (And your poor hair... it'd be going "hey! we already have curls, what the HECK are you doing???" ) Nicole's been hitting a lot of coming in seconds, hasn't she? And I can't believe Nekisa is STILL there? Hmmm... I thought Charlie had a lot of potential at first, but his attitude lately hasn't endeared him to me. I've not yet watched this week's show, but his styles lately haven't done it either. So I'm guessing this week's challenge had to do with styling wigs for women undergoing treatment for cancer? If so, then yes, they did redeem themselves after that OC show (which was a train wreck, IMO!).

Costa - actually the women have a type of immune system disorder that attacks their hair follicles so their hair won't grow. They weren't cancer patients, but IMHO it was even sadder because they're hair will never grow - the disorder isn't treatable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alopecia_areata I believe this is what it was. It was really sad.

Thanks Teach and Nick. I could only guess as to why the wigs were needed (and I totally forgot about alopecia, which is much worse since it's a lifetime disorder).

i saw the peviews but didn't see anything at bravo about it...googled and found this. One of my favorite magazines The Hollywood Reporter reports that Bravo has a new pilot in the works called Tabitha's Takeover, and starring Tabitha Coffey, the white blond opinionated hairstylist last seen as a contestant on Bravo's Shear Genius. In true makeover style, Tabitha will comb the country looking for poorly run hair salons that need to be taken over and madeover. Tabitha

I missed the beginning but I loved Nicole and Paulo's styles. They looked excellent and like real hair. Charlie is really disappointing me lately.
