It's been a season of back biting, histrionics, and really bad hairstyles (and that's just on the stylists) on Shear Genius, but we're at the end.

We started out with twelve hairstylists competing for the hundred thousand dollars (and Allure contract), and there were three out gay men among them, the loveable Half Transformed Werewolf Paulo, the Dallas drama queen Daniel...and Charlie.

All three guys made it to the final five, but the last two weeks were not kind, as both Paulo and Daniel were cut from the competition. That leaves our final three, the quirky blonde sprite Nicole, the out latina Dee...and Charlie.

Which one will clinch the win? Will judge Rene Fris delight us with his mangled accent? And most importantly, will I survive my first primetime liveblog? (I did one ATWT liveblog months ago, and have barely recovered).

Join us after the break, and keep refreshing for all the updated action!

11:02PM EDT Well, that's it for this season. Thanks for joining me, and enduring the recaplets with me all this season!

11:00PM EDT It's time for the final cut, and the judges look at Nicole and say "nice try", which means it's down to Dee and Charlie. And the winner is...

DEE! She immediately starts jumping up and down, as confetti falls, and poor Charlie claps and feigns support, but he obviously wanted to be anywhere else in the world at that moment. I have to admit that I'm a bit shocked. I thought for sure that after all his machinations, Charlie would be rewarded for it.

As much as it pains me to say this, and I know I'll regret it, but if you take the season as a whole, I think Charlie deserved it more. It's just a shame he had to make himself into the villain, or I might actually be feeling bad for him right now.

But I don't.

I'm glad Dee won, actually, She was the other most talented stylist (even if she overdid it with the bobs), and at least we can say another gay has won a reality competition.

10:50PM EDT Charlie is next, and the judges are all "they're iconic cuts", but I think they look hideous. His sixty year old looks the owner of a sleazy Vegas strip club. All she needs is a ciggy hanging out of her mouth, and a colostomy bag to complete the effect.

Nicole is next, and when she says "it's based on my mom" and starts blubbering, I had to roll my eyes.

10:45PM EDT It's time for the judging, and the finale is going to be judged by Linda, Jaclyn Smith, Kim Vo, and guest judge Sally Hershberger, who looks like Martha Davis circa Only the Lonely.

Dee is up first, and her rocker chick looks like "meth addict through the years". If that's what she was going for, it was brilliant!

10:38PM EDT The stylists start their makeovers, and right away, Nicole is feeling way out of her league. They only have three hours to do all four clients, and both she and Dee are frazzled. Charlie, however, is used to pressure, and cool as a cucumber, which doesn't bode well for how well I'm going to sleep tonight.

10:30PM EDT The stylists meet Rene the next day, and meet the clients. Dee explains that her client's story is about a young redhead with a "passion for music", who has a successful music career. Charlie's story is about about a famous child star who wins an Oscar and goes on to direct films. And Nicole's story is about a...soccer mom? So basically we have the stories of Tori Amos, Jodie Foster, and...my Aunt Gladys?

10:20PM EDT Rene tells them to choose their final "sizzle" box, and the stylists go home for the night. Nicole is paired with a brunette client, Charlie with blonde, and Dee with a redhead. They tell their childhood stories, and Charlie tells a tragic tale of when he was six, and his nanny hanged herself at his birthday party in front of all the guests. Her final words were "it's all for you, Charlie".

10:10PM EDT Oh, Rene, how I adore you. He asks the stylists "I hope your meeting went well with Linder, and you got some berry good abice from her". He tells them what the final "challen" is, and basically, they have to tell the story of one woman's life through her hair. They will have four clients, and need to style each one as if she was the same woman at age 18, 30, 45, and 60. Oohh...that's deep...like Oshun.

10:05PM EDT And we're off. A recap of the previous shows, and losers. Oh, Oshun, we hardly knew ya, but you were "deep". Charlie warns the girls that he's "not shooting blanks". I don't need that image in my head, thanks.

All three stylists have interviews with the Allure bigwig Linda Wells, and I had to laugh out loud when she asked Dee what her "signature look" is, and she didn't say "bob".

9:50PM EDT Okay, catching the tail end of Project Runway, and what i want to know is, why is Keith dressed like Larry the Cable Guy?
