"Project Runway's" Guru of Quality, Taste & Style
For helping women discover their real beauty with his guiding sense of fashion and style,
Tim's Salon City's 'Perfect 10'
Tim Gunn ("Project Runway") and Tabatha Coffey (Bravo's "Tabatha's Salon Takeover") guest starred on one of the most eagerly-anticipated events of each "Biggest Loser" season - the makeover episode which aired last month on NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Couples." It was a good show!
Before getting glammed up for their makeovers, the remaining seven contestants soared to new heights with the week's challenge. They had to cross a canyon - equivalent to a 10-story building at its highest point - on a zipline spanning 700 feet. The winner received one of the most amazing prizes of the season - a $25,000 kitchen makeover.
After the kitchen makeover is awarded to the challenge winner, the contestants found out from host Alison Sweeney that they would all be getting makeovers. But this season, they'll be getting made over for their very own Hollywood premiere - complete with red carpet, reunions with loved ones, and a movie packed with emotional moments from their weight loss journeys.
First, the contestants head to Macy's where they find fashion guru Tim Gunn waiting to help them pick out stylish new outfits to flatter their slimmer selves. Guest hair stylist Tabatha (Bravo's "Tabatha's Salon Takeover") and celebrity stylist Brandon Martinez transform them further with complete salon makeovers. Then it's time for amazing reveals and emotional reunions when the made-over contestants show off their incredible new looks to loved ones flown in to help them celebrate their big day.
Later, back at the ranch, the contestants head to the gym for last chance workouts. But a visit with Dr. Huizenga reveals that one player is sidelined with a medical injury that will have a dramatic impact on workouts - and could affect her future on the show. And at the show's weigh-in, one player breaks the Biggest Loser record for most weight ever lost at the ranch. Then an emotional elimination sends another player home. You've gotta love shows like this! My question is: Where's the Haircolor?? We'll talk about that in my next column.
