This was the question that was in my mind as I watched the season finale of "Shear Genuis". Daisy had consistently produced beautiful hairstyles. Watching her, she just seemed radiant. She just kept talking about how the universe provides for those who want it enough. It seemed like that was true when she was selected first to pick out outfits that would suit her hairstyles. Daisy kept talking about how she has always visualized winning this competition.
Then, everything started going wrong, & like the secret says, it spiraled. She dropped hair color. She made haircuts that were just plain ugly. She told her models not to smile, which just made them look like they were unhappy with their ugly hair. She was eliminated first, when I was sure that she had this competition hands down before this episode. Anthony, won & he didn’t mention the universe one time. So can "The Secret" help you win reality tv? Well, not tonight.
After watching “Shear Genius” last night I can’t help but wonder why do people do it? Why do they fight with other people on national television over award money that they could’ve made in the month styling hair? Plus, taxes will get most of the money. Why do people agree to be on TV shows where they are stranded on an island & forced to eat rats. It’s because we all want to be famous I suppose. However, I’m just not the reality show type. I’d be too embarrassed to get into petty fights on national television. It seems that these are the only reality stars that become famous, the really witchy ones, & that’s not what I want to be known for. I’d much rather find a talent agent & become famous the old fashion way. Showbiz LTD can put you in touch with the people that will put you in movies & commercials, as well as open auditions. I think you’ll have much more lasting power as a star doing this. With reality shows, you are only famous until the next reality show starts & someone on that show is more insane & annoying than you were. This way you can be known for your talent, not your drama.
Shear Genius is ending next week, which means that there was a reunion show tonight. There was also a show before that, Dr. Boogie got eliminated. Quite a recap eh? I’ve just had too much Shear Genius for one night I think, it’s best to just take it in small doses…very small doses. There weren’t a lot of shockers in the reunion special. It was just the basic, "Whose that guy whose name I can’t remember wearing the sparkly shirt to get attention?" reunion show. The only really surprising part was how catty Anthony was.
The high point was definitely the unaired clips of Jaclyn Smith crying after ever single stylist was eliminated. It was nice to see that she really cares & is as nice off camera as she is on.
The low points, & there were many (it is a reunion special after all)
Evangelin cutting her own hair with hedge clippers. That girl is just determined to make hedge clippers the next big thing. It’s not evolution if someone is risking getting their head cut off, that’s called a step backwards.
Tabatha & Tyson stiiiillll fighting. Tabatha even brought Tyson’s mom into it. I ended up muting the last twenty minutes of the show because I didn’t want to see any more of it.
So next week is the finale with Daisy going up against Anthony & Ben. Don’t give in to the curse of the allure hall of fame Daisy, just don’t do it.
