Anyone catch the premiere of season 2 tonight on Bravo? Looks like an interesting season. The first competition was to cut hair while blindfolded. I only saw two casualties (other than the horrid haircuts)--a cut ear and a cut finger on one of the hairdressers. Ouch!

Duh! I misspelled the title Sheer instead of Shear. Can someone correct it please!!!

Done! <24>

I saw it! I would have definitely missed it had I not come across it in a listing. I totally forgot about it! I'm glad the first guy left. He was going to get on my last nerve if I had to listen to him much longer. arrgh!

I'm so glad they didn't keep Oshun around for the drama. The look on his face when he was last for the short-cut challenge and then getting eliminated was priceless.

And then Oshun's weak come-back that he had INTENTIONALLY done poorly at first....that it was part of his "strategy"--even though that's not what he said earlier in the show.

Never have I watched a reality competition show where it was SO CLEAR who should go home first; usually it's really hard the first time round.

I loved the Betty Boop style the best, and was sorry she (was it a "she"?) didn't make it to the top three.

I really liked the first Betty Boop hairstyle too. I thought for sure it would be in the top three..or maybe even win. It was true to the character and also looked good on the woman too. I'm not sure who did it though. Maybe if there were pictures on this thread I could better put names to faces! :-)

Re the Betty Boop cut:
I wonder if things look different in person than via the tube, because it turns out that not only Kc103 and I thought it would be a winner.

they are taking a poll and 45%! of people thought that hairstyle would win! and the article-writer says:"Hipster Parker took on Betty Boop and did an awesome short, flippy cut that looks fantastic."

and at http://blog.zap2it.com/ithappenedlastnight/2008/06/premierewatch-s.html
"Parker's interpretation of Betty Boop is edgy and adorable".

And, yes, pictures please of stylists when someone has the chance!

I looked at the before and after pics on the website since I missed the actual show but I wasn't impressed by any of those styles at all.

Last night was the first time I've watched this series. I didn't see last season at all. Was Jaclyn Smith always the host? I didn't particularly find her that enjoyable as a host. Maybe she'll grow on me.

yes, she is the original host. she isn't a dynamic host but she does seem to offer some good observations.
something seemed 'off' with her appearance last night. i think the lipstick she had on was not the right shade for her new blonde coloring.

Oooohhhh Beth, I forgot about when he said he didn't want to come on to strong and win the first few challenges. I laughed so hard, I almost peed on myself.

Seriously Oshun, this isn't Big Brother where you don't want to win HOH for a few weeks... its okay to win challenges on these Bravo shows. Winning challenges is good...

Tex, I have to agree with you about Jaclyn Smith re: not being a dynamic host. But she's certainly not the worst host the show could have.

But, if you remember when Padma took over in the second season of Top Chef (where she replaced Kathy Joel), everyone was kinda like <100>?" But by the following season, she had "come into her own" and now I couldn't imagine watching Top Chef without Padma.

Shear Genius with Jaclyn, Top Chef with Padma, and Project Runway with Heidi - I've grown accustom to the Bravo hosts.

I enjoyed last season's SG and I'm looking forward to this one. It looks like the challenges are going to be more difficult than last seasons. I'll never forget the gal that had to cut the hair with hedge clippers and she decided she would use them in her shop after she left the show.

Yes, Jaclyn was the host of the first season, too. The host that bugged me was the guy - he looked like a white Michael Jackson. I'd love to see "before" and "after" pictures of HIS plastic surgery!

I thought the winner was ok, but none of them was terribly impressive (except to themselves!). The whole concept is fun, though, so I'll definitely keep watching.

Well because they were blindfolded when they did the first challenge haircut - I can understand the choppiness of some of those cuts - but I thought they wanted a "short cut" some of those cuts were not short - imo!!

I also was impressed with Betty cut!! :-)

thanks mods for putting the pictures on the top of our threads!!

I liked the first Betty Boop cut they showed very much and at least thought it would be in the top six, but I also loved the Wilma Flintstone that won as well.. and I could see Gwen Stefani wearing it too..

I'll see if Jimmer is up for a banner.. if he isn't working on one already.

I actually liked Jaclyn Smith last season as hostess. She was very empathetic to the contestants, and often seemed so sad when she had to tell someone to leave. Since she didn't seem sad last night, I don't think she regretted Oshun either.

The male advisor was the one I couldn't stand--and he's back this season. So far he's okay, but I remember toward the end when he kept getting on the nerves of the very nice guy who eventually won.

I can't put a finger on who the guy who won reminds me of, but it was driving me crazy trying to figure it out. I keep thinking he was on another reality show or looks like someone on another show. I can't really remember what he looks like at the moment, but I just had a thought pass through this vast skull (LOL) and was thinking maybe he looked like a "grown-up" Ralphie from Christmas Story. Now I'll probably go look for his pic and say.. huh?? Whatever was I thinking! LOL Anyway, did he remind any of you of someone else you've seen on TV, etc.?

I thought it should have been between the Betty Boop and the Wilma. And what's with them scoring the guy higher who just put what looked like a bunch of blue insulation on top of the woman's head to look like Marge Simpson? I guess they get into that "build up" construction, etc., like with some of their challaneges last year. Anyway, I thought what he did ws a real cop-out.

Watching2 - The guy who won reminded me of one of the designers in season 1 or season 2 of Design Star. I can't remember his name. I do remember the episode where he and another guy designed a room together. They had totally different design styles and argued constantly.

Parker and his glasses and wild hair-do reminds me of Project Runway winner Christian.
