Shows about hair and drag return to reality TV
RuPaul’s Drag Race
Airs on Logo TV - Mondays at 9 PM
This campy-glam reality TV competition features 12 drag queens decked out in all their finnery vying for the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.”
One the best parts of the show is the “lip-synch for your life.” This appears near the end of the show where the final contestants on the chopping block claw, strut and lip-synch to stay in the competition for another week.
Returning for another season as judges are Merle Ginsberg, fashion journalist and Project Runway crazy, Santino Rice.
Guest stars and judges slated to appear on the show include:Kathy Griffin, Cloris Leachman, Jackie Collins, Henry Rollins and a slate of celebrities sure to make to the queens swoon. Not too bad for a show Bravo took a pass on.
Shear Genius
Airs on Bravo TV - Wednesdays at 10 PM
“Shear Genius” is back on the air after a makeover. Jaclyn Smith has been cut as the show’s host and if Entertainment Weekly is correct the new host - Carnila Alves, fiancee of Matthew McConaughey - may be even worse. Hair reality TV star Jonathan Antin, star of Bravo’s reality TV series “Blow Out,” will serve as judge along with Kim Vo. Orlanda Pita will serve as a mentor to the stylist wannabes.
The competition each week includes the shortcut challenge - where each of the designers’ technical skills are evaluated and of course a dreaded illumination challenge.
The show helped to create another reality TV series on Bravo. Season one winner Tabatha Coffey has starred in two seasons of her own realityTV series on Bravo called “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover.”
