Help Put Words in Bravo's Mouth!

What could be a more enticing opportunity for the discriminating Bravo viewer than coming up with a phrase that becomes the "exit line" on our next reality show? (Yes, being Heidi Klum's PA is a close runner up.) I'm talking about "Shear Genius," Bravo's quest to find the best hair stylist in America.

Most of Bravo is in Pasadena this morning to make several big programming announcements, including unveiling the host of "Shear Genius" -- none other than the always classic Jaclyn Smith.

From the moment she walked onstage with her Angel Sisters at the Emmys last summer, capped as always by a halo of perfect hair, we knew that she was the perfect "Shear Genius" host. We're damn proud and excited that this perennially beautiful and poised icon is joining the Bravo family.

"that hairstyle stincks like a bad perm, now go"
"back to great clips with you"

Great job for Jaclyn Smith, now bravo needs to show the love to Victoria Principal and Suzzane Sommers (they have had some back karma) Is Marlou Henner next?
have a great weekend all.

This is Jaclyn Smith, queen of classic, but also cancer survivor and wife and mother. Please have her say something heartfelt. Only then would it sound believable, and like something she would actually say.

"You'll cut another day" -- dismisses, but offers hope.
"Time to head home"-- is something I can hear a Texan saying, and also a play on the word 'head'.

Zia wrote:

I am thinking more along the lines of Jaclyn Smith's tone - she is a class act. Whatever exit statement is chosen, must feel comfortable coming from her lips. In accordance with J.S. style - my suggestion would be:

"You're the first stylist we've chosen to be blown off the set. Good luck."

followed by:

"You are the next stylist chosen to be blown off the set. Good luck."

("Good luck with your next blow job" would be inappropriate - but it was fun to consider momentarily!)

how about..."Take care." If you say it a little fast, it sort of sounds like, "Take hair." I don't think that necessarily makes it any better, but there you go. Plus, I think "Take care." is at once the kindest and meanest thing to say to someone you're rejecting.

Valgal wrote:

To further explain my "Your I.Q. just won't do", and have it make sense. The tag line during the show would always be, "Show off your I.Q. (Innovation & Quality). Kinda like, Make it Work" on Project Runway. Kate or whomever is in contact with the contestants during the show will initially have to explain the Innovation and Quality or what they refer to as I.Q. At the elimination Kate will say something like "The two main things I look for each week are Innovation and Quality, or I.Q.
"I'm sorry _____ your I.Q. just won't/will not do, please leave the shop"

Dude, I'm brilliant. You know you love my follow-up skills.

My " We bid you adieu" is totally a close second. Whatever it is it has to be classy for Kate. You can't use crap like "blow this"

I love what I've created here, run with it:-)

Can't think of anything clever with "hair raising" or "salon" or "sheer" whatever -- although maybe someone else can.

This is to Valgal:

We got it the first time; therefore, your clarification post is pointless. If a zinger needs 200 words to explain, the ensuing comedy flies out the window. Keep 'em short, keep 'em sweet.

Your 'do is a don't, you don't cut it, curl up and dye; these are examples of the strand (nyuk nyuk) to follow. If your zinger forces you to write a show around some prized tag line, your zinger needs to be discarded.

Or snipped ( natch.)

I can't take credit for the line, but I certainly can wholeheartedly recommend it!
It made me laugh out loud here, and so you can bet that I'll laugh hearing Jacklyn say it.

But, besides being crude, it might get too redundant. She could mix it up with phrases like, "if you cut another person's hair again I'm going to vomit on you" or "is that the smell of the hair dye that's making me want to barf...? Oh no, it's your face"

Jaclyn Smith is a great choice for this show.

How about: Your wings have been clipped, Angel.

I know, maybe a little too retro (plus, you may not be permitted to use the word Angel, due to legal mumbo jumbo), but at least the dismissal has the potential to be a little less devastating coming from Ms. Smith.

BTW, I love Padma Lakshmi on Top Chef. She is the perfect choice to host and to dismiss the chefs. Her eyes are kind and sincere, making the dismissal a little less painful. Jaclyn Smith has the potential to be very much the same.

A Modest Proposal (or Cut One for the Clipper):

Jaclyn is class, but she does risk being type-cast. It might be time that she re-invent herself.

Think Rip Taylor a la $1.98 Beauty Contest ('78-80). The end of the show has Jaclyn serenading the bottom two while wielding a pair of over-sized, gold-sparkled, cardboard scissors. As she sings, she taunts them with a bad cut. She ends her soon-to-be trademark song by handing the scissors, as a consolation prize, to the one who didn't make the cut with a song-ending catch-phrase: i.e. the popular, "You didn't make the cut" or one of my personal favorites, "It's time to part ways," or perhaps, an extension of the vaudevillian parody, "sorry, you just ain't got the chops (kid)"].

Simultaneously, Jaclyn's sidekicks (presumably she'll have a couple) will come forward to crown the stylist who is saved and will cut yet for another episode. The Wig of Hope is placed upon this "winning" contestant's head, a shawl (hair cape?) is draped over his or her shoulders and a basket of "product" is placed in his or her hands (in lieu of flowers). Confetti of hair clippings rains down from above, streaming sprays of mousse fly about. Canned applause and cheers and noisemakers (blow-dryer's turning on and off and aerosol hairsprays shusshing here and there). An upbeat song (forget that "you had a bad day" cry-babying), one that is relevant and/or popular with hair-stylin' crews, begins to blast and a scantily clad barbershop quartet begins to gayly dance about. The one who did not make the cut, perhaps fighting back tears, is congratulating the "winner" as the credits roll.

Positives: Send-off line incorporated at the end of a song might become the new gold standard for catch-phrases; the focus on the weekly runner-up takes the heat off the loser and is also much more feel-good for viewers; Jaclyn will have begun a new and, dare I say, even more successful phase of her splendid career helping her to achieve that elusive cult-like status, and Bravo will have at once managed to put a refreshing new spin on the now-tired reality tv genre as well as broaden the network's viewing audience (think of the buzz!).

Negatives: The idea falls flat, Jaclyn never works again and Bravo becomes the laughing stock of reality tv everywhere, showing that the public just really wants yet another typical reality tv show with a subject matter of hairstyling.

Bottomline: When someone goes for a new hair style, that person takes a tremendous risk. Bravo and Jaclyn should do the same. Just keep thinking: "Do it for Bosley."

[David Doyle, RIP, would have been the perfect weekly special guest to don a hat for this show-stopper].

Not sure what they should say to them, but they definately should be put into a painful headlock while a big X is shaved into the top of their head. Or maybe shaved completely.

if the show reveals techniques/tips that showcase the depth of knowledge and ability it could be appropriate and not as insulting...just reflecting the need for the contestant to learn more.

- - -
Andy, I became a total addict of Project Runway. Your format was refreshing (I had not become sullied or jaded by American Idol or Top Model - "PR" seemed like quality reality, and I've heard others say the same). Because of its "refreshingness, I got sucked into Jonathan's World, The D-list, and Top Chef - pretty much anything Bravo Original - even Work Out and Real Housewives. The similarity of Top Chef to Project Runway seemed redundant but I didn't care - What else to watch while waiting for the next season of Project Runway??

To have the title "Top Design" forthcoming, I sense the redundancy all the more - If it is just like Project Runway & Top Chef, nothing "new," just the names and the topic, I'll be bummed. In a way, it detracts from the freshness of "Auf Wiedersen" and the less glorious "Pack Your Knives and Go" lines to overdo the formula - in a way, it'll be tarnishing to my enjoyment of the next season of PR to feel like it's simply a formula being played out. Now Heidi, Now Padma, Now Oldman, Now Blitzen!

I say - Freshen it Up, and I agree...tailor this new series to the kind of classiness an icon like Jaclyn Smith deserves! Change it up, make it different! Give it a twist - personally I like the Vegas show idea that Connie Davis suggested - something to take it away from mundane repetition! Nonetheless, I'm eager to see what you all come up with and will most definitely tune in to see what you decide - I think the Shear Madness, not Shear Genius is the best I've seen so far, hopefully the series will have something to set it apart from being Project Runway with Hair.

Love Ya!

nothing too "punny", that would just be annoying and hokey.

as a side note, YAAAAAY! in my NBC viewer panel survey and in my email to you, I voted for Shear Genius as the show title! I'd like to congratulate myself on my awesomeness at choosing the title of Bravo's new show. Ha. Why yes, I would like to take all the credit. ;oD
And you did promise me in your reply that the show would not be named "Top Hairdresser: Do or Dye" (which, for the record, I still consider to be the Worst Idea Ever. Seriously. Memo to the person at Bravo who came up with that: What the???? NO!!! Bad You!! No biscuit!), so, Thanks Andy!!

HOWEVER. Do not think I didn't notice that Bravo's OTHER new show DID get named "Top Design." OH, BRAVO... Honestly.

Poor Top Design. Shear Genius gets a fabulous name (reminds me of one of the best plays I ever saw, Shear Madness) and poor Top Design gets a name that reminds people "we're the show that's trying to capitalize off of the success of Top Chef, so now we have to prove ourselves extra hard that we're NOT just a hastily conceived and crappy retread of that same concept that will run half a season and then disappear." So sad. Top Design is the unloved child.

You people. What did I tell you? Why do you even SEND me those Viewer Panel surveys if you aren't going to listen to ALL my brilliant advice??? Seriously, GOD. *sigh* Okay, I forgive you, but only if you NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. ;o)
