Shear Genius winner as Brig takes everything

Shear Genius is designed to be a competition about hairstyling. On Bravo for the third season, the Shear Genius winner for Season 3 has certainly stirred up quite a bit of controversy.

Whether she deserved it or not, Brig is getting the Shear Genius winner prize of $ 100,000 in quick cash prize cash and a photo shoot for Allure Magazine.

Brig: Shear Genius winner

It’s for certain that Brig was not the finest hairstylist on Shear Genius. Brig was the best reality show competitor on Shear Genius though. Positions that win on reality shows tend to be those that will provide the best TV, not really the person who should get it.

It seems that it would make more sense for Brig, with her crazy outfits and large hair bows, would be the Genius Winner prize and won't have to borrow money to help with her big bow addiction.

Shear Genius and the way it works

Shear Genius is a TV show that is much like Top Chef and Project Runway, with a hairstyling theme. Every week the contestants are required to complete a challenge that won't eliminate them, (the short cut challenge) and an elimination challenge.

Each elimination challenge has a theme that each competitor must style to match and then the styles are seen by a panel when they sent their hairstyles down the runway.

The drama of Brig

On Shear Genius, winner Brig became known as the drama-bucket of the show. During the show she was usually the center of controversy with her huge bows while she worked for the drama instead of the competition. In the end, Brig's buns with extensions won even though the other two finalists, Matthew Morris and Janine Jarman, were much more liked by fans. Many people think the "triumph over adversity" story by Briggs was pushed too much.

Whatever these reasons happen to be, Brig managed to get herself on the show and then to discover herself winning the Shear Genius competition.
