"Flequi" (Rafael Hidalgo)
The Infamous Mad Barber!




Perhaps the funniest, wildest, weirdest, happiest, most sadistic, and definitely the most popular non-host cast member of the show, he's even got his own "fan club" surrounding him! He gives awful haircuts (see the SPACES page.) As soon as a contestant lands on his space, his "fans" begin violently shaking their arms up and down with thumbs down to the beat of a sped-up version of the "Barber of Seville" music while chanting "Fle-Qui! Fle-Qui! Fle-Qui!" Meanwhile Flequi is jumping up and down and celebrating wildly. The three questions are asked the contestant, and as soon as he gets an answer wrong, Flequi gets even more excited. He begins jumping around like a drunk cheerleader and then starts hacking away (and I do mean HACKING AWAY) at the contestant's hair. Usually he gives women really short hair (after, or course, he gets through "playing with it" for a while,) and shaves men bald. Once, however, he started shaving a guy randomly, and then left him with four little square tufts of hair on top and a ring of hair around his head. Later on in the series, he became more involved with other parts of the show. He would begin wearing Nickelodeon Moon Shoes and would take part in the challenges and stunts involving these shoes. He would also participate in several Reocas, including one where the contestant had to go through a downtown plaza and get volunteers to come get their hair cut by Flequi, who had set up a barber's chair in one end. The highlight of the year for him, however, was when he got TWO "victims" in one episode. ***If you have this episode or know anyone who does, E-MAIL ME IMMEDIATELY and we WILL TRADE!***
