This week, on Beauty and the Geek, they quickly resolved the issue, left over from last week, of who was staying and who was going, starting out with Tara’s agonized decision of choosing Joe over Jonathan. Personally, I would have kept Jonathan, but that’s just me. Jonathan did seem fairly comfortable with the idea of going back home to his mommy, though, so I guess it was all OK. Question: Who cares if someone has a huge heart anyway? They all kept talking about it, and I wonder if its just the only way stupid chicks feel they can relate to ugly guys. Whatever.
So the Beauties and Geeks, now in teams of two, have their first challenge as couples. For the girls, its a science project, and for the guys, its having to give love advice on Dr. Drew’s radio call in show. Now, I’m gonna be honest with you. Although I did watch this show, it was late. I had just finished watching American Idol and Hell’s Kitchen and was reviewing my AI blog, so I wasn’t maybe paying as close attention as I should have been to the action on the screen. But the show seemed kinda boring to me.
However, watching them trying to be comfortable outside of their own spheres, I was proud of them. And a little frightened. I did find myself wishing Cara would go soon, cause her little baby voice is making me want to puke. But still, the way some of those girls were able to learn and explain about volcanoes, earthquakes and electricity, and the guys give love advice, it made me think people can change and learn. Even Cara, who had to ask Chris if we live on the outside of the Earth, and Tom, who didn’t know what “sexually active” meant. Not that all of them really got it, but some of them did pretty well. Joe, however, still talks too much.
The Beauty challenge winner was Cara and the Geek winner was Tom, which made Chris and Cara and Tom and Amanda safe. The couples that went into elimination were Jim and Tiffany and Matt and Leticia. I felt a little sorry for Jim, who put out there on national TV that he had never kissed a girl, and then when he asked Tiffany, she said “no.” In a way, she got paid back when she was completely unable to answer even one question before Leticia. But still, with everyone crying all over the place, it was hard to dislike either girl enough to want to see them go home. In the end, Leticia pulled Matt through with her, by answering all three of her questions correctly, when he never even buzzed in to answer at all, letting Jim get two right in a row. So Jim and Tiffany go home. But I couldn’t help wondering what kind of unbeatable team Leticia and Jim would make if instead of letting a couple go, they just let go the two people who didn’t answer any questions. But I guess the world will never know.
I hope Tiffany kissed Jim goodbye.
Lots of shows that I’ve been waiting for start up again this week. Well, to be honest, a couple started last week, like Bones, which is airing on Mondays at 8 pm ET on Fox, and Law & Order: SVU on NBC at 10 pm ET. There were 6 new eps of Bones and 5 of SVU. Actually, last week’s ep of SVU was one of the most disturbing I’ve seen in a long time.
