HAIR CUTTING TASK

Sunday, 10th August 2008

BB set the hms a task today, the task being that one hm would cut the other hms hair and put the hair in a flask supplied. The object of the exercise was to fill the flask and they would win a party and a special surprise.

It was decided that Lisa would be the hairdresser as she has often bragged that she was a hairdresser years ago. So into the salon set up by BB goes Lisa. Her first client was Darnell who asked for a no.1 (close cut), Lisa gave him a zero ~ skinned him totally! I am sure Lisa did this with malice aforethought but as with most things Lisa does, it went wrong for her. Watching her do this to Darnell had many of us seething but when it was complete he actually looked very well. And the resultant shaved off hair filled the flask straight off!

Next in was Kat. Who it has to be said acted like a total idiot. I do like Kat but she really annoyed me during this task. She was pretending to be a child at the hairdressers, with Lisa going along with the whole thing fully. Following a little trim she then decided to cut a little off Lisa's hair ~ again with Lisa going along with it.

Turns out that this was a strict rule break as only the hairdresser could touch the equipment. After a telling off by BB and Mikey then announcing he would sit in the hairdressers for the entire task to keep an eye on things, BB made them start all over again ~ discarding all the hair that Darnell had given!

In comes Darnell in a groundhog day scenario. Of course he had nothing to offer this time but Lisa managed to get a few grains of stubble from his already well shaved head.

Darnell leaves and Mikey and Lisa revert to the poison talk that they had indulged in for weeks when they were together all the time. I was rather disappointed in Mikey at slipping back into it so readily, indeed willingly. Nicole, Rex, Kat, Rachel all got mud slung at them. And this pattern continued between clients to the salon for the rest of the task.

Next in is Kat, again, and this time she insists Lisa cuts lots of hair off in an attempt to make up for her causing Darnell's hair to be discounted. Kat ended up looking like she had been savaged but luckily a fair bit of hair was left to the front so it is really only from the back that you can see the mess made.

During Lisa's conversations with her clients, she said that it was 25 years since she had last done this. Let's see, Lisa is 40 so that would have made her 15. I think she once again exagerated her skills ~ 15 year olds generally only get to sweep the floor and make the tea. And looking at her cutting tecniques, I imagine I am totally right in that assumption.

All the hms had at least a trim, with Nicole being not one little bit pleased at having to subject her hair to Lisa's dubious talents!

Mikey had his hair entirely shaved off and surprisingly, he looks far better for it.

They passed the task and were awarded with a party and the special surprise was a box of dodgy looking wigs. Mikey walked about wearing a bo derek cornplaits affair. Unfortunately it was well back on his scalped head and he ended up looking like one of the rednecks from the film Wrong Turn. Scary!

They danced to the tunes supplied by BB for the party, with Lisa throwing the most amazing shapes as she leap and bounded around the room in a world of her own. Where Lisa gets her 1980s cut out clothing from or her dance moves is a mystery. Perhaps those little green men she sees told her she looked cool like that. She doesn't.
