Tabatha Takes Over

[OKNancy]

OK... don't laugh. I love this show. This is a re-tooled version of Tabitha’s Salon Takeover.
It starts tonight on Bravo.

Here is a story about her in the Advocate.

Tabatha Coffey has shocked and delighted TV viewers since she was voted fan favorite in 2007 on the hairdressing reality series Shear Genius. After that came her Bravo spin-off, Tabitha’s Salon Takeover, in which the no-nonsense lesbian entrepreneur helped the owners and staff of failing salons make a turnaround in only a week.

After a grueling year in which she nursed her mother through cancer and then eventually lost her, Coffey is back with season 4 of her show, only now it’s retooled and renamed. Tabatha Takes Over, which premieres tonight at 10 on Bravo, finds the blunt but captivating business owner taking her brutal honesty and tough love rehab not just to salons but to a variety of struggling businesses around the country, from a B&B to a frozen yogurt joint. Two such ventures are sure-to-be-queer California businesses she makes over: Ripples, an LGBT dance club in Long Beach, and Barkingham Palace, a West Hollywood doggy day care.

1. We will be watching.

It is one of the few "reality" shows I actually enjoy.

2. I hate to admit it on DU

it's looked down on... but I watch a lot of reality tv.
Amazing Race, Survivor, Big Brother, and Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Is Househunters International considered reality? I watch that too. LOL

3. I watch some too.

Kitchen Nightmares, Hoarders, Pawn Shop, Biggest Loser...so, I understand. There are several I just "don't get." But, to each his own. I used to watch house hunters international too. I like Curb Appeal: the Block with the hunky (and queer...so there's a chance) John Gidding! YUM!

4. oh what a disappointment for ME.. lol not you

he is a hunk for sure. Yes, I watch that one too.
I'm not religious on my HGTV shows, but so often there is just nothing on.

5. I love her.

Not only is she a badass, I have learned quite a bit about how small business works. My wife thinks I am daffy but I like Tabatha's style.

6. I like it too!

To me, Tabitha is no-nonsense, in-your-face, dedicated and determined to reach out to help any business that's on the outs. I love her professionalism and she's the best example of showing the audience how a small business is supposed to run.

7. My daughter loves Tabatha's shows

I usually see them on weekends when she watches before I take over the TV for football...Sometimes I get caught up in it and forget to change the channel.


I hope I never screw up a business badly enough to need her to come fix me - she's scary! On the other hand if my business was failing badly, I probably need her.
