Charlie's Bitches

Finally! This show gave us a little reality show meat to sink our teeth into! Darlings, if we'd had to sit through another episode of "mehs" we were going to shoot ourselves and nobody wants that.

Say what you will about the superior charms of Project Runway, we obviously won't disagree, but there's something charmingly unpretentious about hairstylists rushing to get home so they can get drunk as quickly as possible and tell off whoever pissed them off that day. Now that's entertainment.

And two fun challenges! First up, the "vibrant" coloring shortcut challenge.

Which Paulo totally screwed up.

To his credit, he knew he did.

It wasn't just that there was no discernable color, let alone color of the vibrant sort; it was also a pretty not-great haircut.

And then there was Charlie's:

Which, you know, congrats to Charlie and all that, but it looks like lollipop drag queen hair.

The colors are fun and all, but that bird's nest pushes the whole look dangerously close to the "ludicrous" side of things.

And then there was the "Charlie's Angels" challenge:

To which we can only add "What took you so long?"

Jaclyn was clearly thrilled to announce it, which was kind of cute.

But Kate was kind of cranky the whole time, wasn't she? Then again, she always was the "brainy" Angel, which in the '70s was code for "Not as fuckable as the other ones," which would make anyone cranky, we suppose.

How cute was that?

And once again, the producers throw a little curveball into the mix by putting Charlie in charge of the teamups. On the one hand, we were impressed by the complexity of his scheming, putting all the friends into teams, banking on their inability to work together. On the other hand, it didn't really amount to much in the end.

AND NO ONE WINS! YES!! Good for those judges for not just handing the win to the least offensive among a bad batch. There was some seriously assy hair and they were having none of it. Hair Bitches, we salute you.

As for the losing hair...

You know, it could have been anybody. For whatever reason, they settled on Glenn as the worst of the lot. Certainly the Jaclyn and Farrah cuts are awful, but from where we were sitting, they were floating in a sea of awful.

Lorenzo was crushed. We didn't like seeing either Nekisa or Glenn on the chopping block but even we had to admit that Nekisa's only still in the game due to blind luck at this point.

And credit to Nekisa for not making this moment about her. This was a pretty emotional elimination.

It was sweet how Jaclyn told her "I'll miss you." We don't know how true it is, but still. Sweet.

Yes, everyone was sad to see Glenn go home last night. Some chose kindness and dignity as ways to react to this event.

And some just clutched their pearls and fanned themselves like the queens they are.
