Groomer Has It: trying to untangle the knots….

Apologies for the hiatus.... I'm still recovering from suffering through the first episode of "Groomer Has It."

In the interest of the blog and due to my dedication to the thousands of “Two Wet Noses” fans (okay, handful) who valued (and more importantly, agreed with) last week’s review of “Groomer Has It,” I decided to confront another week of a bad reality tv program. So, I watched (endured really) the second episode of “Groomer Has It.” In the interest of full disclosure, I have to say that I was unable to watch “live” on Animal Planet and had to view the show on the computer a few days later, but I suspect my reaction would be pretty much the same….

Just like last week, the script is appalling. Must we be subjected to these pathetic “plays” upon words, including such pearls as “claws come out” “a leg up,” and something about a hydrant.

In addition, Jai Rogdriguez is still a terrible host. He has the personality of a fire hydrant….and he certainly doesn’t demonstrate any charm (smiling is not charm) or knowledge of the material a la Tim Gunn of Project Runway, or even Tom Colicchio, taciturn chief judge on Top Chef.

And speaking of judges, these three don't hold up in comparison to the teams on Project Runway or Top Chef: Xavier Santiago is just unpleasant and unattractive; Joey Villani seems to hold the most promise in terms of being personable and willing to tell Xavier he's full of it; and can you even remember what "Doc" Halligan contributed to the episode? This week's guest judge didn’t add any value to the program…. we care about her, why???

In the end, these shows succeed or fail based on the contestants. This crew is not only dull, but tedious. Do we have to hear more about who is the real "celebrity" groomer? These people certainly aren’t interesting enough to root for. In last season's Project Runway, from the outset, when Elisa spit on her material, we all knew she was a nut. And Christian was just a little arrogant (yet very talented) twerp…. In the case of GHI, either they are dull ego maniacs or even duller also rans. I mean really, who cares who wins this “competition?”

It’s too bad that we don’t get to bond with the dogs during the course of this tanglefest….. Then maybe it would be worth watching to see who gets bitten by a real dog as opposed to by those dreary judges.

Please tell me I don't have to watch another episode.....
