Charlie is the Devil: The Charlie’s Angels Edition

July 31, 2008

So for the short cut challenge, the stylists get 4 hours to color, dye and style something radical and vibrant.

Paulo’s going for smurf blue and totally f’s it up. He gets last in the challenge

Nekisa has, as Charlie so eloquently puts it, “some tired-ass excuse” for why here’s is not so great looking.

Daniel had fun despite his initial hesitance. “Someone in Dallas is gonna have this hair.” And then Kim Vo says, “I’m not sure Dallas is ready for this.” Just for the record, there’s more to Dallas than blonde socialites. Not much more, but a bit more.

Dee totally rocks it with her “bird of paradise.”

“A Real Cluster Fugayzi”

July 30, 2008

Really. That was the quote of the episode. And we’re pretty sure we knew what Jenni meant, but… then again… Either way we’re championing “fugayzi” as a new term. As in, “Stop being such a stupid fugayze,” and “Don’t fugayzi around with me.”

Coming in a close second for most memorable line was Jennie’s joke about a brown chicken and a brown cow. “Brow chica brow cowe.” Or however you spell that.

Really Jenni gets all the best lines always. We particularly liked her comparison of the Jeff and Courtney situation to seeing a drunk driver swerving down the road. Oh and then of course, the ultimate weapon when working for Jeff Lewis, “Pretend like you’re deaf.”

Goodbye Gail

July 24, 2008

She was a hottie, but it did seem like Charlie was a bit right when he said, "Everyone's always said Nicole is green, but Gail is neon green."

Nicole's nefariousness with the flip flops pays off and she lands a hottie surfer with nice hair. When they first see the surfers cresting the ridge, the expressions on the stylists faces were priceless. Charlie was trying not to look excited but we think he was. Paulo didn't try to hide it.

Dee's strategy as usual is to "kick some motherf-ing ass." Sometimes she's a little scary.

Suck It Jeff Lewis

July 23, 2008

Things we’ve learned from the last couple of episodes of Flipping Out:

Jeff Lewis is incapable of hugging.

Seeing a divorce unfold on television is yucky.

Jenni’s deadpan side interviews about Jeff are our second favorite thing about the show.

Zoila is still our favorite thing about the show. Like when she said to Chris Kesslar, “Excuse me, Mr. Celebrity.”

Which brings us to some thoughts on Chris… He’s pretty whiney. He needs to “butch it up” (to steal a phrase often used in Step It Up and Dance). But we don’t mean it in any kind of gender way, so much as he’s just kind of over privileged and annoying. We’re sure the bus system in LA isn’t that great, but still. Many of us ride the bus and other public transit every day. Is it that big of a deal? And if he really wants to be Jeff’s design partner eventually, should he really be calling him a douchebag on television?

Straight (hair) People Just Don't Get It

July 17, 2008

Charlie forgot his magic glasses at home this episode and it showed. Because he’s been kicking butt for the last couple of episodes.

The short cut challenge this week was a musical chairs roundabout of hair cutting. They didn’t know what client they were going to end up with but we figured it would be the one they started with. But maybe we know the Bravo tricksters a little better than they do.

A few notable quotes:

“Big titties can’t get you out of every jam darling.” (Charlie on Nekisa)

“For someone who was begging to be banged, you should have banged her.” (Teeluck to somebody – could this be the oldest joke in the hairstyling industry?)

Hidden Talents?

July 10, 2008

Episode thoughts later, but for now here's this curious video we found. Um, we're not sure if any of these things could qualify as "talents." Actually these are the types of things that most people do at home alone or with their friends from elementary school. How did the Bravo people convince them to do these things on camera? Anyhow, it's so dumb, it's hilarious. Except Gail. She's so buff, that's hot.

Rent Increase

July 09, 2008

We'll have our take on last night's Flipping Out episode up soon, but in the meantime watch this video in which Jeff threatens to raise Jenni's rent for being "hard on the appliances."

Orange You Glad You Didn’t Have To Do That?

July 03, 2008

I mean of all clients, The Real Housewives of Orange County are probably the most high maintenance imaginable.

Whenever people have to pick others in order and someone is left for last, it’s always traumatizing and reminds us of grade school sports. Yuck. Anyhow, Daniel picks Parker first, which doesn’t end up helping him.

Their Short Cut Challenge is just to do a short cut, which is cool, because we pretty much think everyone should have short hair. Everyone. Oh, except Cher. That would be weird.

Halfway through their cuts, their guest judge Tabitha (Season One) shows up. Admittedly we didn’t watch season one, but apparently she’s rather sassy and blunt.

Seriously Flipping Out

July 02, 2008

We guess it makes sense, that if you're OCD, you quickly turn into a paranoid conspiracy theorist as well. But geeze. It's even more creepy when you listen to Jeff Lewis talk about how a workplace should basically be like a dysfunctional family. A horribly abusive dysfunctional family. A family that spies on each other. It gives us the shivers and makes us feel thankful we work for Bravo.

Jenni gets best line of the episode with, "He keeps saying it's sink or swim time, whatever that means." And she delivers it perfectly deadpan.

When Jeff gets all prissy on Ryan about taking a vacation and generally having a life and talks about how many hours he works, we can't help but think, "Yeah but how many hours do you waste reprimanding, and griping about your staff? At least 3 or 4 a day, probably."
