Granted Meg Ryan's famous shag was created a gazillion years ago, Sally invented it, therefore, the remaining competitors had to learn how to do it. Once she gave them a quick lesson, they worked on identical mannequins. While sticking around to intimidate the crew, Sally announced someone would be offed after the challenge. Sally went down the line one-by-one to question the stylists and critique their work. Her top three picks were Tabatha (she's becoming a regular on the top), Ben, and Tyson. Ty was crowned the shag survivor. Those on the chopping block were Danna, Lacey, and Evangelin. Jaclyn and Sally announced Lacey was cut from the competition. Buh-bye. Feel like we never even knew ya.
Once back at their pad, the stylists were able to use the phone for 5 minutes each. Tabatha once again proved to be the coldest contestant when she couldn't understand why everyone was weeping while talking to a loved one. Did we know Daisy was a lesbian? Apparently she is because she called her girlfriend.
With the power to choose the order the stylists will select their models, Tyson gave the group an opportunity to give their reason as to why they should go second. Daisy was offended, thinking Tyson was playing head games. Tabby was annoyed and refused to play along.
At the salon, Rene showed the stylists the tools they will have to use for their elimination challenge, which included nail clippers, hedge clippers, a Swiss Army knife and craft scissors. Tyson was able to chose his tool first. He selected household scissors. Boring. Evangelin was happy to get the hedge clippers, while Ben took garden shears. Daisy got a box cutter. Tyson’s strategy was to save the better stylists for last so they would have the unwanted cutters. Tabatha remained confident that she would still kick Ty’s hair-chopping ass. The stylists paired up with models, to whom‘s long hair, they would have to make short. Evanglin surprisingly handled the enormous hedge clippers with confidence, while her model sat completely still in fear of getting her face sliced off. Dr. Boogie tried to rattle Theo, who was racing against the clock after giving his girl an unnecessary hand massage.
Guest judge Garren joined Jaclyn, Michael and Sally for the runway show. Shockingly, I loved Evangelin’s creation. Guess gigantic shears get the job done! The judges chatted with the stylists and models, then amongst themselves to make a decision. Daisy, Tabatha (again!) and Evangelin were the top three. Evagelin’s cute ’do won! “I’m going to have to figure out how to put those things on my belt,” she joked about the hedge clippers as she wiped away happy tears. Ben, Dr. Boogie (sniff, sniff), and Theodore were called out in the bottom three. Ben was safe, which meant two of the guys who actually entertain me were on the verge of exiting. Noooo! Theodore is fabulous and Boogie is, Boogie. Adorable Theodore was cut and gave a confident “I’m just getting started” speech before he strutted off in his cowboy boots.
Until the next trim….
