TV alert: Daisy makes it to the finale of Bravo's "Shear Genius" tonight

A month and a half ago when Bravo's latest designer reality show, Shear Genius, premiered, the series featured not one but two out lesbian contestants, Daisy and Tabatha. Tonight on the series finale, Daisy has made it into the final three, and she's about to show us whether lesbians are every bit as good at cutting hair as (gay) men.

On tonight's finale, Vidal Sassoon, the "godfather of hair" (as Bravo's press release describes him — and hey, I might even agree with them), will join the judging panel to determine who is worthy of being deemed a "shear genius." The three finalists, 40-year-old Anthony from England (who now lives in Manhattan Beach, Calif.), 32-year-old "rock and roll stylist" Ben, and 31-year-old Miami lesbian Daisy will face a three-tiered final challenge. They'll have to design three styles that tell a story: the "Nancy Kwan bob," a haircut made famous by Mr. Sassoon himself; a style using color; and a third design of their own creative choice.

Last week, Daisy won the elimination challenge. Here she is creating her winning look:

And here is the winning look itself:

Did she win because the hair was good or because she was smart enough to make her model look wet while wearing very little clothing?

In case you haven't been keeping up with the series, go here to watch a preview of tonight's show that will get you up to speed in no time. (Warning: Judge Rene Fris' strange accent could either mesmerize you or slowly drive you insane.)

    I loved Tabatha, that Hair Witch! But Daisy's bubbly personality has won me over tremendously.

    Yay!

    This show's the best, and you know I'll be rooting for Daisy... She's been the best of all 3 of them through out. I'm glad she finally won a challenge (although I think she could have teased that girl's hair into a ratty birds nest, and she still would have looked HOT!). I can't believe they kicked of Tyson and Tabitha! Yeah, they both kind of looked liked eachothers evil twin, but there was some good hair going on there. Stupid judges....

    wow i had no idea that Daisy

    wow i had no idea that Daisy was a lesbian. I love the show and watch it all the time, but this is a shocker to me. Love Tabatha, I was sad when she was kicked off. But now knowing that Daisy is gay, I'll so be cheering for her to win.

    The finale already?

    I just came across this and I guess Canada's behind just like Top Chef.  I don't know which episode we're at but there's still tons of contestants.  Well now I know who's left.  Go Daisy!  She seems pretty cool.  I knew she was gay since they showed her talking to her girlfriend (captioned) on the phone.

    Daisy's soooo cool! I was so bumbed out when she didn't win. Although Tabatha should've been in the finale as well...
