I really wasn’t expecting heroics on Groomer Has It. I was expecting dog grooming & the obligatory fighting that comes with reality TV. So I was stunned last week during a challenge where the groomers had to groom dogs from the pound. The groomers then had to try & get the dogs adopted, the last person who got their dog adopted would be sent home.

Most everyone chose dogs that they thought would win. One of the groomers was horrified because he only grooms show dogs or some nonsense like that. Artist chose a dog that needed help. Artist did the best he could with the dog, but the dog was barking like crazy & wearing one of those weird cone things so it wouldn’t bite itself. It was obvious that Artist’s dog wouldn’t get adopted & Artist would go home.

So, a family came into look at Artists’ dog & it was apparent they didn’t want that dog. So Artist said, well there’s another dog here & gave his customer to another groomer who ended up adopting the other groomer’s dog. I was stunned. In reality TV we are so used to back biting & alliances & whatever it takes to win. Artist did the best thing for the dogs even though it meant that he would probably lose. In the end, they didn’t send anyone home. I’m glad. I don’t know if Artist is the best groomer but he is definitely the best person.
