Camila Alves replaces Jaclyn Smith on ‘Shear Genius’

fp_2091058_spielberg_mcconaughey_coq_041209

Matthew McConaughey’s baby mama seems like a nice enough girl, but what exactly are her qualifications for anything other than “model”? Bravo seems to think Camila Alves has something, though. They’ve just hired Camila to be the new host of Shear Genius, the reality show/contest to pick the next great hair stylist. Shear Genius is preparing for its third season, and they’ve just kicked out Jaclyn Smith. Camila’s pretty, but she’s no Jaclyn Smith. My mom’s going to be so upset Jaclyn got the ax.

Get your scissors sharpened and brush up on your layering techniques, Shear Genius fans, Season 3 is on its way with new host Camila Alves.

The Bravo show, which pits wannabe hair stylists against each other in the salon for a $100,000 prize, was hosted by Jaclyn Smith in the past.

Camila will take on her new hosting duties in the upcoming season, and will be assisted by judges Kim Vo and reality show veteran Jonathan Antin. Jonathan starred on his own show, Blow Out, which revolved around daily life in his salons in L.A. He’s also the brother of Pussycat Dolls’ founder Robin Antin.

Maybe Levi’s daddy Matthew McConaughey will stop by with that mane of golden curls for a touch-up! Tune in this season to find out!

[From OK! Magazine]

That would be funny if Matthew McConaughey guest starred on Shear Genius. He probably wouldn’t let the contestants get anywhere near his hair though – if he comes on, it will be a guest judge, that’s my guess.

So, back to the original question: What are Camila’s qualifications? Or does her resume just read “Matthew McConaughey’s baby mama”? Jaclyn Smith was and is a goddess – more than a pretty face, she’s a smart businesswoman who knows a lot about Hollywood, fashion and styling. I’ll miss her.

Here are Camila and Matthew with adorable baby Levi at Ron Meyer’s annual Easter celebration in Malibu on Sunday. Images thanks to Fame Pictures .

    Not only that, I’ve always heard Smith was a true lady in the Southern style. Too bad for her.

  2. Ned says:

    Thank you Katie Holmes and Jen Garner.

    Now other gold- diggers might think that it’s enough to get pregnant after dating a man- and there- you got a career advancement.

    It’s lovely to see that women are moving backwards in Hollywood and their status and opportunities is being determined by who they bo!nk rather than their own ability and talent.

  3. Allie says:

    Jaclyn is beautiful, timeless, gracious and elegant…a true lady. She’s too good for this stupid show anyway. Bravo, you made a HUGE mistake! (The one they should have got rid of, is that swarmy Rene guy!)

  4. gblinda says:

    ok, I never understood why she was hosting this show anyways, what does she have to do with hair anyways and her delivery, oy vey, you could see her reading the cue cards…fresh meat, it’ll do wonders for the show…

  5. Ron says:

    Bravo is really good at these missteps. The current host of Make Me A Supermodel, is some random model chick. She replaced Niki Taylor, who was always gracious and was a nice balance to Tyson Beckwith, and Niki is a Supermodel. I like Jaclyn on that show and she is a Hollywood legend which adds to a show like this. Now they have hired another random chick to host another of their shows. If they are hiring random people to host shows on Bravo, I am available. And please, for the love of God, get rid of the Eurogay! I can’t understand a damn thing she says.

  6. Maritza says:

    Someone must have offered Jaclyn something much better so good for her for leaving. I bet Camilla will do nicely, the job is easy anyhow.

  7. Bodhi says:

    Jen Garner had a damn successful career before she met Ben. She isn’t a gold digger by any means. And neither is Camila. She was an internationally acclaimed model before she & Matt ever met.

    It should go without saying, but it obviously doesn’t: Not every woman who is with a famous guy is a gold digger.

    Anyway, best of luck to her. She & Matt sure made a pretty baby!

  8. Leandra says:

    Camila is gorgeous…I would watch the show just to see her.

  9. Ned says:

    Jen Garner got her chance and was interduced to the creator of that TV show by dating and marrying an actor who already had a job and he was the one who helped her, got her a small role and introduced her to the director (as well as other people).

    Then she continues to move up by the same method- and the only reason we are now talking about her after all her “movies” failed is because she is using Ben and his daughter to get some attention.

    Camila was barely known. Another working model as other tons of models walk around and you don’t even know their names.

    They both used their uterus to ensure their status and forced fatherhood on men that made it on their own.

    Piggybacking on a man who is successful on his own right, is the oldest lowest thing a woman can do.

    I thought be are past that point in history and that it’s no longer a “legitimate” practice in our society.

  10. Trillion says:

    Shear Genius always felt forced and awkward to me. Hopefully with some fresh blood, it can be a better show. I think Smith is timelessly gorgeous and is very sweet but she didn’t bring much to the table here. There’s nothing cutting edge or even slightly risky about her, so she was a bit boring. They really needed someone younger anyhow.

  11. Bodhi says:

    Sorry, but its still bullshit. I don’t care how cynical you are, but women are capable of loving a man for more than just his money.

    Saying things like They both used their uterus to ensure their status and forced fatherhood on men that made it on their own. is just plain offensive

  12. Bros says:

    bodhi,
    you have to realize, this is ned youre dealing with here. he’s a complete misogynist about every story. he hates all women performers. havent you seen his rants on angelina? there is nothing anyone can say logically to him whilst he is hating on all women on this site and making comments about their anatomy, their trashiness etc. he hates them all.

    on another note, i dont really understand this swap. smith was an icon of an era, with a haircut to match. alves is like 23 y.o., and doesnt even have a real haircut, so all her commentary is going to have to be taken with a grain of salt.

  13. Bodhi says:

    I know, I know, its not worth the effort but still… A little tilting at windmills is ok here & there 🙂

    I never thought about it, but Camilla really doesn’t have an actual haircut. I guess Matt helped her embrace her inner hippie! 🙂

  14. Trillion says:

    Bros: totally agree about the lack of haircut thing. Hadn’t thought of that. Why not Agnes Deyne? Now there’s a very stylish young woman who’s not afraid of changing hairstyles. Or Linda Evangelista. ( I know nothing of these women’s personalities.)

  15. Wow says:

    Trillion, I *heart* you just for mentioning Linda Evangelista’s name.

    I have no probs with Camilla, but I think that’s because she’s never been known to talk much. Now that this show will be her mouthpiece, that might change. Once they start talking and startto become known other than so and so’s girlfriend, its usually down hill with these couples. Ask any of George Clooney’s former flavors.

  16. jess says:

    camila’s hair always looks like crap. why is she hosting a hair reality show? wtf bravo?

  17. stellapurdy says:

    Hey Ned, so I suppose Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck didn’t know how to put on a condom?

  18. HashBrowns says:

    This reminds me of Bravo replacing that food critic (magazine editor?) lady from Top Chef with Padma Lakshmi. They seem to have a never ending supply of random models to take over hosting duties for shows.

    No one really listens to Padma’s opinion either, so I suspect the hairstylists won’t be paying attention to Camila’s opinions either.

  19. Ned says:

    “women are capable of loving a man for more than just his money.”

    I didn’t say anything about money. I talked about status, career opportunities and fame.

    Yes, Jen Garner used her private life to climb higher and get more fame and opportunities and when those were explored, she moved on to the next guy.

    Katie Holmes loves Tom? She is such a bad actress that even when she is given an easy script (“It was like, AMAZING!”) she doesn’t sound convincing.

    Do you honestly believe Camila would have been given that opportunity had she not trap the Matthew?

  20. Ned says:

    “Hey Ned, so I suppose Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck didn’t know how to put on a condom?”

    Tom Cruise doesn’t need a condom (unless it’s against STDs).

    He never needed it. Not with his past 2 wives and other girlfriends.

    Ben Affleck sure knows how to put on a condom, but then he had this huge mistake called TRUSTING JEN GARNER.

    And I certainly don’t think all women are as low as those fame and gold diggers.

    Don’t lower all women to the level of Jen Garner and Camila Alves.

  21. Ursula says:

    Ned, Ned ned, what did your mother do to you?

    Camilla does not seem to have any personality at all. Maybe I am prejudiced but she just seems so dull.

  22. Bodhi says:

    I would never do that Ned. I wouldn’t want to take that away from you

  23. geronimo says:

    I don’t think Ned is a man. I think some (ahem) gold-digging harlot stole Ned’s man. And I get the distinct feeling that Ned is none too happy about it….Ned is on a mission to defrock all the gold-diggers and whores and skanky opportunists. That’s when ‘he’s’ not obsessing over the welfare of the poor, misfortunate, mistreated children of a pair of complete strangers.

  24. deb says:

    if he was that easy to trap(with a baby)someone would have managed that long before now. Let’s face it, someone who looks like her has options.

  25. Freddy says:

    She is a gold digger just like the rest of the Brasilians and Spanish speaking countries in South America. I know for a fact, I’m Portuguese/American in NY and have dated a Brasilian chick and a Spanish chick from South America(don’t remember what country) and that’s how they are. Very sneaky and manipulative. Never again!

  26. sue says:

    I’m sitting here watching sheer genius and am very disappointed this year. Aiden I can’t stand and the model has no personality. At least Jaclyn has class and heart.

  27. Precious says:

    I am bummed why did they get rid of Jacqueline Smith!

  28. B says:

    I am watching Camila on Shear Genius and she is beautiful, yes. Hostess, energy, personality (that comes through on TV) = NO. Awkward fit, weird, everyone else outshines her and it’s obvious she is reading her lines rather than running/hosting the show. The voice is odd, not even sexy Brazilian/Portuguese accent. Heidi Klum and Padma Lakshmi are also gorgeous models but sparkle more & fit more (even thought Padma is a skinny foodie TV host, lol). Bad casting, so bad, so bad, eww…

  29. Amy says:

    Camila is an awful host! Why did they ever get rid of Jaclyn Smith, she was perfect on the show.

  30. Liz says:

    How sad to replace someone as classy as Jacklyn Smith with someone who has no personality. I use to love Shear Genius, but last night it was so dull I couldn’t watch. Bravo does it again fixes something that was not broken.

  31. Guest says:

    I hope Bravo rethinks Camila. I am not a fan of the show but stumbled upon it yesterday. She was AWFUL…probably the worst I have EVER seen on TV. She is flat, reading her lines, boring, no personality, doesn’t “fit” in the role, and you can’t understand a word she says. Bad choice Bravo – can we get a do over?

  32. Liz says:

    No Jackie!!!

    Why else would I watch this show? As usual BRAVO sucks!!!

  33. Liz says:

    You know what I really think is crazy! That in this day and age BRAVO would replace a woman who is an icon. Ms. Smith has run a million dollar business for over 20 years. They didn’t replace her with another woman of her stature instead they replace her with a model. A woman who is more well known for having a child out of wedlock with a celebrity than her modeling career. What does that say about BRAVO? What does that say about how BRAVO values the skills of women? What it says to me is BRAVO is something I am going to avoid. In fact I am going to talk to my friends about boycotting the products featured on the show.

  34. JC says:

    The new host is dreadful! No personality, flat monotone voice, & at the end of the 1st show, came off as hateful. She’s irritating to the point that I may not watch this season, but if I do, I will ff any time she is on. Really bad choice Bravo! But, that’s what happens when someone is chosen on looks alone, & when qualifications, personality & brains mean nothing. Bring back Jaclyn Smith!

  35. Juan Carlos says:

    I have seen this a couple of times basically because I went to the same High School as Orlando Pita and figured it’d be cool to see what he looks like now. Note: …he seemed a bit out of sorts but I wish him well.

    Now as for that dreadful hairy Brazilian woman: her accent makes Rene Fris sound like he’s a right proper British aristocrat. She is not only incredibly difficult to understand she is so unlikeable that you just don’t feel like making an attempt to decipher what she is saying. She is as dull as the linoleum in a homeless shelter foyer.

    I’m reading all these postings about how attractive she is… but… what about her is attractive? Her hair? Compared to her, Teresa from Real Housewives of New Jersey looks like she’s suffering from alopecia. I’ve always said if God had intended me to like women, he would have made them hairier… I take it all back now. This woman proved me wrong.

    Bring Jay Leno back..err.. I mean Jacklyn Smith.

  36. Brenda says:

    I have never watched Shear Genius but, like another poster stumbled upon it and thought “wow! what does Matthew M see in her?” Oh, yeah, she is beautiful. But she sure comes across as dumb, dull and no personality. So I guess looks ARE everything. I thought MM was cerebral, though. Guess not.

  37. Jack says:

    Camila is gorgeous, but she talks like she has a mouthful of marbles. It’s not her accent, either — Brazilian accents are sexy as all hell. There’s just some really strange quality to her voice.

  38. awhirlwind says:

    just saw an episode of shear genius and was sorely disappointed with camilla alves as host. she is terrible. she talks really slow, shows no expression and looks stoned. it pained me to watch her…so i switched channels. boo bravo, this falls in line with the fashion show. horrible.

  39. Rachel says:

    Ugh- I can’t watch this show. Alves sucks all the life out of it. She needs to work on adding intonation to her voice and warming up a bit. She sounds mean and unhappy. I’m sure she doesn’t mean to- the producers just need to give her some advice.

  40. Cookie says:

    I love Shear Genius. However, I don’t want to be a hater but Camila Alves as the host is not good. Her voice kills the show. She is trying too hard. She needs to be natural and it will flow. I am not a fan as of now Camila but, I hope you do better.

  41. Shante Sashay says:

    Alright, I am a very big Shear Genius fan!! I was extremely heartbroken/appalled when Jaclyn Smith was replaced — I mean she is THE definition of class and grace…meanwhile, Camila Alves, with an unimpressionable modeling career reminds me of the character Lina Lamont from Singing in the Rain…flawless and beautiful until she opens her mouth. A host is supposed to be inspirational and charismatic and most of all understandable! BAD MOVE Bravo…this REALLY backfired.

  42. fifi says:

    I googled to see who this new host is, never heard of her. I thought Jaclyn Smith was great, in fact she’s the main reason I watched. The new host, Alves, is awful!! She is unattractive to look at but she also seems so mean. Her voice is awful (odd b/c I like the sound of Brazilian accents normally). Bad choice Bravo.

  43. cc says:

    Can the host Camila Alves.This season sucks,and listening to her is painful,what is she even saying?

  44. Jill says:

    Okay I get the weird stuff–out at the ranch and all of the best of the worst of past season challenges! I miss Jaclyn Smith–what it this genius HAIR IS IMPORTANT ending. Tell that to Bruce Willis and Nigel Barker and how many other sexy celebrities.

  45. TrainWreck says:

    What is she saying? Camilla Alves seems to have a mouth of marbles everytime I hear her. But, then there’s the judge with the Super botoxed face and the other little queen with the over-collagened lips that look like a duck. The contestants seem like rejects from every hair salon I’ve ever seen or been to. Especially the thing from TN who has a voice like he’s smoked 10 packs of cigarettes in an hour and admits all he “reads” is porn. I can’t stop watching this show, but I really want it to bomb badly.

  46. Lanie says:

    What in the world was Bravo thinking? Camilla can not even speak to the audience – she looks bored half to death. It is hard to understand her & looks like she had to do 20 takes just to squeak out the simplistic sentences on her cue cards.

    I liked this show, but it is ruined! Why did they even hire her? Just because she is Matthew McCougney’s baby’s mama? I am sure a ton of other more qualified people auditioned and were passed by…… for this?

    I think I am going to skip this season.. what a mess.

  47. John says:

    Camilla has absolutely NO personality…and what exactly are her qualifications? She is attractive but is this the best Bravo can do? Why can’t they get a great supermodel from the 90’s? Not some amateur model whose claim to fame is getting knocked up by a holiday actor. I have it on right now with the mute button on because her voice is so monotone. Hope she’s not permanent!

  48. EJD says:

    Camila Alves is AWFUL! I googled her because I had no idea who she was, and I couldn’t believe Bravo hired someone who can’t even speak to be a HOST! And what does she know about hair to be able to comment on the styles? SHE is HORRENDOUS!

  49. CJS says:

    Just watched a couple of eps with the new host, and find her voice extremely grating. Think a lot of shows forget that TV is both a visual *and* audio experience,and nobody wants to have to watch a show on “mute”. Hope BTV makes another selection soon.

  50. mmh says:

    I totally agree, I have just started to watch Shear Genius and am so put off watching because the host is awful.
    She cannot speak properly, has zero personailty and really nothing special to look at.
    I have to mute or ff when she is on the show. I hope next season they get a host who is not as dull and can manage to speak so we can understand.

  51. Sasha says:

    She is so awful, even the challenges seem to be crappier this year. Bravo really screwed the pooch on this one. Does she have a bad accent or some sort of speach impediment? Camila’s voice is painful to listen to and she is obviously copying some moves from Heidi and Padma.

  52. Lisa says:

    No offense but you can barely understand Camila. She has to talk so slow to enunciate each word. It really is hard to listen to her talk. Thank goodness I can mute the TV when she talks. Please get someone else for next year. I miss Jaclyn!!

  53. mary ellen landi says:

    Camila Alves is beautiful, sweet and all that stuff but does anyone other then me find her voice so absolutley annoying? To me it’s like nails on a chaulk board

  54. I watched this. show because of Jaclyn Smith and her delivery to the at home audience. She knew what she was talking about. Now, I cannot understand what Camila Alves says. She needs to take elocution lessons. If it was Smith’s decision to leave, then that’s her business, but if was Bravo’s decision, boy did you ever blow it big time. I won’t be watching the show anymore.

  55. purplejoanie says:

    Camilla is ruining the show for me! She sounds like she has a speech impediment – that chick makes me so uncomfortable! Who did she sleep with? That has got to be the reason – because there are so many other talented beauties out there that can actually talk and be spontaneous – and have some type of cred!

  56. Jill says:

    If Matthew Morris wins, I will start cutting my own hair.

  57. DJ says:

    Please do not consider Camila Alves for next season. She is horrible. Accents can be sexy however, I strain to understand what she is saying. This should be an hour of relaxation but to watch it becomes an hour of frustration. Get her a voice coach then MAYBE bring her back at a much later date.

  58. Moxy says:

    Oh Thank God, I thought I was the only one who cannot stand the sound of her voice!! I googled Camila Shear Genius Annoying Voice and I found this site! haha I just wonder how the camera guys and producers can take it. Someone really F’d up on this one. Bring back Jaclyn, and if not, someone whose voice is not so grating. It is seriously painful to listen to her. Are you paying attention Bravo??? Ugh, she needs to go.

  59. Moxy says:

    How did a bunch of execs at Bravo sit in a room and hear her talk for more than a minute and then say AHA, she’s the one…..how, how, how can anyone stand to hear that voice????? I think I am done with this show.

  60. Jen says:

    Wow, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who finds this woman’s voice and demeanor so off putting that I had to Google it! The execs at Bravo can’t possibly believe that making her a host was a good idea! Not only does she have the personality of a tree stump, but she’s just mean! No charm or personality whatsoever…and that voice…mouthful of marbles is right! C’mon, Bravo, fix this mistake…fast!

    Oh, and Moxy…my I googled “shear genius host has annoying voice”…wonder what everyone else googled! lol

  61. Mark says:

    Totally agree with Jen’s comment, and the other’s. Look Camilia is nice enough looking, but honestly, that’s about as far as it goes. When I tuned in to the start of this season, and heard her, that was all it took. I’m out Bravo.

  62. Iggles says:

    I found this by way of Google too! LOL!

    I’m watching an episode right now. I like the stylists this season, but I’m ready to click to another channel. Camila has a HORRIBLE voice!!!!!

    She has a strange accident that sounds like a speech impediment. I hope they replace with someone who can actually ENUNCIATE when they speak English!!!

  63. Kathleen M says:

    Replacing an elegant an iconic star like Jaclyn Smith with this annoying chick with the freakish accent is bizarre, akin to replacing Russell Crow in the Gladiator with Pee Wee Herman. Jaclyn has style, class and grace. Every time this Camila chick opens her mouth it is like nails on a chalk board. And what are her credentials to judge hair? While Jaclyn was not a stylist she has decades of experience is TV and print. Are they really trying for a Padma knock off? Why? It’s Tom Colicchio who makes Top Chef rock. They could replace Padma tomorrow and no one would care, lose Tom and the show is done. Jonathan Antin is just surly all the time which makes it hard to take his comments seriously. He should take a page from Tom Colicchio and see that just because you are very successful at what you do and famous for it you can still be a cool person and give constructive criticism not just be a jerk all the time. Although I understand his frustration with these stylists definitely the least talented group of stylists they have had. Kim Vo is just creepy and weird. I didn’t really like Rene Fris all that much. His “shake it” line annoyed me since he was trying too hard for a tag line like Tim Gunns “Make it work”. I am totally disappointed in Orlando Pita. I was impressed to see he was the new mentor given he is a pretty heavy weight stylist and is certainly a lot more qualified to be a judge the Camila marble mouth. But he barely makes any comments he just makes faces that range from nervous to confused, how is this mentoring? The work is lame the cast is disjointed. Sort of reminds me of the problems when Project Runway (original and still best) moved from Bravo to Lifetime and tried replacing Michael and Nina, although they were smart enough not to cut them all together, only to realize the only replaceable one is Heidi. This shows a mess and not much fun to watch. I don’t see season four happening. They took an OK show and made it suck.

  64. Danielle says:

    Hello people who are whining that Camilla’s hair is beautiful! She has a hair dresser, duh. And I don’t care, she is not that pretty, especially after you have to hear her talk! She sounds like shes been drinking bourbon all day. Lucky for Bravo Shear Genius is a cool show, with or without her drunk a**

  65. Melissa says:

    Is it too late to get Jaclyn Smith back for next season, PLEASE? She’s a class act where Camila is a train wreck! Jaclyn added something to the show and made constructive comments. Camila is dragging the show down and is such an annoyance! If I didn’t love watching the stylists so much and the real judges, I would’ve tuned out by now. I have to say, I don’t think I can take two seasons of Camila though. Sorry. I’m sure she’s a perfectly nice person but she’s a terrible host for this program. Who in their right mind thought this was a good choice? And did they actually listen to her? And they really thought this was a good choice? Hurry, somebody smart at the network .. . call Jaclyn!!!!

  66. cc magani says:

    I too cant stand the sound of her voice! I have to mute her when she comes on. cant understand anything that comes out of her mouth, very forced. bad move bravo!!!

  67. Sandy says:

    I’m in total agreement, I thought it was just me, but man…I used to LOVE to watch this show,but Camilla come on!! Get a voice coach..and Bravo don’t do this to us again. It’s way to difficult to watch this season, It takes me awhile to figure out what she said, and I only do that when I hear the replys!!!

  68. GoodWillTalking says:

    What is she saying when she greets the contestants? It’s sounds like Oy-yay. Is that Brazilian for hello?

  69. DW says:

    I am not crazy about Camilia nor do I think she is really pretty. Jaclyn is a stunner. Camilia comes across dumb and “empty”. Anton is good now let’s get Jacylyn back. I don’t watch this show much anymore except when I am flipping through the stations. Jaclyn wherever you are, we love you and don’t forget it!

  70. Moxy says:

    Okay, I gave it one more try. CANNOT stand that voice, like nails on a chalkboard. Best of luck to the contestants but I can’t stand to watch. aaaarrrrghhhh that voice, it’s the worst.

  71. Moxy says:

    Math a you, cud ya tek the bebe ut fa a minyute sa I can watch my har and gut ma neals dahn.

    No wonder he gets stoned all the time! haha

  72. sadaboutbravo says:

    Man Camilla bugs me!! I could not figure who she was until I saw her selling purses on the red carpet at the Oscars and someone mentioned Matthew M. She sounds like the priest from Princess Bride, “Mawwiage…..” I have given up trying to watch this season because of her. Why would any producer think anyone could understand anything that comes out of that mouth? She’s not that great looking and she does not know what she’s talking about 75% of the time. STOP using models BRAVO! I already gave up on Top Chef because of Padma, who is also a bitch with a twangy nasaly tone. Come on, give us women we can look at and listen to. I am so sick of using my mute with caption button.

  73. Juan Carlos says:

    I posted a message a few months ago… somehow I ended up back on this website and decided to leave a follow up message.

    I stopped watching the show due to a few factors, however, the main reason is the host: Camila Alves. She is just disagreeable – physically and vocally. I think she, the raspy voiced guy and Kim Vo should have their own show entitled the “Halloween Freak Show” with Alves as the werewolf.

    Oh, and something tells me Orlando Pita is being edited heavily.

    IF the show is back next year, I certainly hope there is a new host. If not.. mazel tov, I’m sure there will be something else to watch that would be less annoying.

  74. Sandy says:

    OMG ..that STONED comment is hilarious but totally true!!

  75. Trixie says:

    OMG What Moxy said is RIGHT ON!!!! That is exactly how she speaks….lmao!!!! She is AWFUL!!!Bearutiful, yes. But the WORST host EVER…..she’s gonna make me start smokin weed again……

  76. Suzy says:

    I like the show, “Shear Genius”, but I am becoming very irritated with Camila Alves’ voice. I know english is not her first language, but I’m a little embarrassed for her. Maybe the show could be filmed in Brazil (for a Brazilian audience).
    WE WANT JACLYN SMITH BACK!!!!!!

  77. Eliza says:

    Thank god I’m not the only one who feels this way! I think she definitely has a speech impediment. There is just no “flow”… intonation? At first I could barely watch it because her voice literally hurt my ears. However, now I find it hilarious to watch her because it is just so bizarre that she actually got this job. It is SO bad. Is she really that gorgeous that Bravo did not notice or care that she does not speak well? This is what happens when you hire a model who wants to break into acting. Not everyone can be Padma or Heidi.

  78. Joan says:

    Bring back Jaclyn Smith. She has class. I can’t understand Camila Alves dead delivery and her “Ciao” is extremely annoying.

  79. whitney says:

    I Googled “who hates camila alves on shear genius” and was relieved to see that I am not the only one who wants to pull my hair out every time I hear Camila Alves talk. She is just SO WRONG! i pray they bring any one else.

    Just a little defense of Padma, though:
    Regardless of how obnoxious she is sometimes, she is a real cook, and wrote her first cook book in 1999. She is a true foodie,and has WAY more cred than being MM’s baby mama…

    I agree with all the comments about Ms Marbles you can’t understand what she is saying. She is awful. Take her off the show.

  81. Aquamarine says:

    I was browsing through the channels and saw this show. Would love to watch it, but I can’t stand listening to the host speaking! It’s unbearable. Not only she has this weird accent, she is trying to speak like god knows who. Oh god I REALLY felt like killing myself every time she opens her mouth. I can’t stop swearing. The worst host ever lived!

    Camila needs MAJOR speech therapy!!! OMG… I have to mute the TV just to make it through the show!

  83. leslie says:

    Camila’s voice is SO grating that I sometimes have to mute the TV when she speaks. And does she have a slight speech impediment? I think Matthew pulled some strings to land her this gig – she shouldn’t be doing voice work on any kind.

    As far as her hosting abilities go, she’s average. Though very beautiful, there’s nothing about her personality that captures me, or makes me want to hear what she has to say.

    I hope they hire a replacement for next season, or I doubt I’ll tune in.

    Camila is beyond annoying! I can barely make it through an episode now, a show I use to enjoy has become unbearable for me now!

  85. girly says:

    Camilla’s voice is making my ears bleed!! Seriously, it’s the most irritating voice I have EVER heard! Not to mention how scripted she sounds. I can’t stand to watch the show now! She can’t pronounce anything correctly! What the f*** was Bravo thinking!! She may be beautiful, but she really really sucks at hosting. When you’re that irritating, who gives a f*** if you’re cute! Sorry Camilla, I’m sure you sound good in your native tounge, but it’s not workin’ out for ya here.

    J. Smith WAS Shear Genius! Smith represents the classic and iconic beauty that demonstrates the concepts of perfection and humanity. Smith is sensitive, loveable and relatable.

    Adversely, I am profoundly disgusted by C. Alves.

    This non-talented, unprofessional, gossipy, condescending, ingenuine, clueless and brainless hag has no worse quality than her irritating and murderous use of the English language coupled with her horrible voice. Her voice makes blue skies turn grey. What a perfect example of noise pollution. Camila, please, for the sake of humanity, shut the ** up! (Thank God for the mute button)

    Bring Jackie back and salvage the show.

    In the interim there are too many other channels to watch so I refuse to be tortured by Alves.

  87. DJ says:

    Thank gosh the season is over. No more Camila. This was my first year ever seeing, or even heard of the show. Seemed interesting until Marble Mouth started speaking. Nayx-us (Nexxus). The simplest word, her SPONSORS, and she still could not get it right. Imagine the scripts she had to follow in EACH remaining show. Pitiful. Won’t watch again if she is hosting.

  88. Mrs says:

    I LOVED this show (before)… But wasn’t able to watch it this last season because of the new host…and I thought it was just me..imagine my surprise when I stumbled on this blog! Hopefully BRAVO is listening so we don’t have to suffer again next season.

  89. Susannie says:

    Lol, I too googled my way here. Her voice is truly annoying!! And the way she speaks, yikes!

  90. Jason says:

    I think Camila is soooooo UGLY,real TROLL. I love the Brazilian models like: Adriana,Gisele,Alessandra,even the queen of Sweden has Brazilian backgroung. But I do not understand how Camila became a model?!?! She is so dull and looks tacky and dirty. Just my opinion guys.
