Watching The CW

Four teams are left on Beauty and the Geek, Chris and Cara, Tommy and Amanda, Joe and Tara, Matt and Leticia. This week they are back in the mansion and I realize that we are still stuck with the two people I wanted to go. Joe, who is annoying, and Cara, who talks like a baby. They decide to give Jason and Christine a Norse funeral, a burning pyre on a paper plate floating in the pool. How sad that the mighty Norsemen are reduced to this.

Now, comes the challenge. The girls are gonna be plumbers and the guys are gonna help geeky chicks with makeovers. But I have an aside based on Cara’s comment that plumbers are not sexy at all. My husband is a pipe fitter and I think he’s very sexy. Plus, plumbers make good money and that’s very sexy, if you ask me.

I thought that Tommy and Chris did the best makeovers, then Joe, and lastly Matt. That chick’s hair was just wrong. And the beauties agreed with me, which I thought was interesting. The winner is Chris, which is nice, because Tommy won the last challenge.

Then we have to deal with more Tara and Joe drama. Listen, chick, you picked Joe. You could have picked that other guy, the momma’s boy, remember him? Whatever.

Now the girls are up to their challenge. Acting as plumbers in a stage set which looks like a nasty bathroom. They have to unclog the tub, make the toilet run, and get a ring stuck in the sink (and put the sink back together again). First of all, Tara has her hair loose, which is gross, cause then it’s gonna get in that water. Yuck! And Cara had plumbers crack, which is funny. Leticia was really good. She knew just what she was doing. I think she’s right, being older and having to take care of yourself does give you an advantage cause you probably have had to unclog a drain or re-attach the chain on the toilet handle.

Both Amanda and Tara seemed pretty unhappy about having to go into the elimination room, especially against each other. At this point, I want to get rid of Joe and Tara, since I can’t take anymore of the petty squabbling. Besides, I don’t want to lose Tommy.

The part that made me unhappy is that the chicks were just sitting around on their beds and stuff, still in the clothes they had worn to that challenge. Talk about gross.

Into elimination, the girls are asked about home improvement and the guys about fashion. Tara answers the first question correctly. Tommy answers the next question correctly. (Believe it or not, I knew the answers to the home improvement questions, but not the fashion questions.) Amanda answered the next question right, so now its two to one. Then Joe answers correctly (I knew that one).

Finally, Amanda beats out Tara to answer a question about incandescent light bulbs (I’m surprised she even knew that word), and Tommy and Amanda are safe.

I’m pretty glad to see the end of Tara and Joe fussing. But what will we do for entertainment on the season finale next week?
