After we meet the contestants, and learn that he's Oshun, he's deep, and some stuff about the others that I've pretty much already forgotten, we move on to the Shortcut challenge. The models all come in, and they're all wearing safety glasses. Jaclyn tells the stylists that people always say they "could do it blindfolded", now the stylists get to prove it and have 45 minutes to do so.

OK, WTH? How much do you think they have to pay the models to let someone wearing a blindfold come near them with a pair of scissors or other cutting implements? Safety glasses would NOT be enough protection, IMO.

Anyhoo...
here's the before and afters:

Charlie:

Daniel:

Dee:

Gail:

Glenn:

Matthew:

Meredith:

Nekisa:

Nicole:

Oshun (he's deep):

Paulo:

Parker:

When I look at some of these, I think it's obvious the stylist was blindfolded.

Kim Vo is the judge for this challenge, and will examine each cut and then rank the stylists in order.
And the winner is....
DEE! Dee will have an advantage in the elimination challege.
And in a very close second, Nicole. The bottom two are Nekisa and Oshun, with Oshun being put last.

On to the elimination challenge. Every stylist has customers come in with a picture of a celebrity and want the stylist to make them look like that celebrity. Well, today is no different. But wait! It is! Here are your celebrities:

The advantage Dee gets? To get first pick. And then the rest pick in the order Kim Vo placed them.

The results:
Charlie does Marge:

And so does Matthew:

Daniel takes on Wilma:

Gail's version of Wilma:

Dee's Betty Boop:

Parker's Boop-boop-de-boop:

She's Glenn! She's Jem!

Nicole's a Jem girl, too!

Oshun was left with Lucy:

Nekisa got to pick from Lucy, or Lucy. Guess what? She picked Lucy.

Meredith chose "daughter Judy"

Paulo's Judy Jetson:

I thought Matthew made his model look like a very ugly drag queen. I'm not sure how Gail thought that resembled in any way Wilma Flintstone. Nicole's model did not want her hair colored at all. I loved, loved, LOVED Daniel's Wilma. I want that color for my hair!

Guest judge Neeko Abriol (clients include Vanessa Williams, Mary J. Blige) joined Jaclyn, Kim, and what's-her-name from the magazine to decide this challenge.

Middle of the pack: Dee, Meredith, Nicole, Glenn, Parker, Paulo
Top three: Daniel, Nekisa, Charlie
Bottom three: Matthew, Gail, Oshun

Winner, with immunity for next elimination - Daniel
And the one sent home - Oshun, he's deep.
