Watching The CW

I can’t even tell you why I’m still watching Beauty and the Geek. Sheer boredom, I expect.

I feel so very sorry for Tommy, who honestly seemed to feel that Amber was serious about him, when she was really just playing him. I imagine he feels pretty stupid now that he gets to watch the show.

Anyway, this week they have a sports challenge and play flag football. The twist is that each team has to trade a member to the other team. So Jillian goes over with the Geeks and Chris goes with the Beauties. After the switch, the traded person finds out that if the team they are on loses, they are automatically sent home. I’ve never watched this show before, so I don’t know if they’ve done anything like this before and if they should have been more cautious with the trades.

I’m getting pretty tired of Joe, he’s so completely annoying. I’d love to see him go home this week.

The football game itself was dragged out so much that it felt as long as a regular football game to me. The only exciting part was the Pepsi Max commercial in the middle, where they play that song from A Night at the Roxbury and everyone bobs their heads. The upshot is Joe tries to take over the geek team and he’s loud and rude and annoying and gets way too invested in it. The beauty team is only saved by the fact that they have Chris, because he gets them organized and working together. There was a sweet moment for little Greg, cause he actually caught the ball and ran with it, and he was so excited.

There was one injury, as well, when Matt gets tripped by one of the Beauties - whose name I can’t remember and I don’t care enough about to look up. It was a little unclear to me what exactly happened, but apparently he did break something in his arm or shoulder or whatever. He lived. But he did have to go to the ER and didn’t come back until the end of the show.

As for the game, the Beauties won and poor Jillian went home.

Then they went on to the elimination and this week, they did it differently. From this week on, they are going back to the old format of each Beauty teaming up with a Geek. The girls, as the winners, got to choose who they wanted to be paired up with. They decide together who gets whom, and since there is one more guy than girl, obviously whichever guy isn’t chosen is gone.

So here are the teams:

Cara and Chris
Amanda and Tommy
Leticia and Matt
Randi and Greg
Kristina and Jason
Tiffany and Jim

Apparently, Tiffany’s choice was a shock, because she was supposed to pick Jonathan. So that left Tara to chose between Jonathan and Joe. Unfortunately, they ended the show right there, with a “to be continued,” so I guess I have to watch again next week, if I really want to know. It all depends on whether or not Jim was supposed to be the one that left, in which case Tara was supposed to pick Joe. Which she can still do, but then Jonathan, who was supposed to stay has to go. Personally, I’d rather keep Jonathan than Joe, but no one is asking me.
