Reviews and Previews

This week’s Beauty and the Geek is a review special. I’m not sure why these reality shows think they have to stop all the action in the middle to make us re-live stuff we’ve already seen, but they do.

I’m not even sure I want to watch it, but apparently there are a couple of surprises. Like Tommy laying in bed with three of the beauties, and, maybe, actually having sex with Amber. Maybe.

Next, they showed some of the spats between the chicks. Bored now. Moving on, they are showing interaction with geeks. Let’s just keep moving, shall we?

After a commercial break, showing an ad for that new reality show, Farmer Wants a Wife (which I will definitely, probably not be watching), and an ad for a “shocking” TMZ report about American Idol treating some contestants unfairly (oh, really?), we get to back to more geeky shenanigans.

But before we get there, I had to go check out TMZ. They are talking about an article written by Carmen Rasmussen (a season 2 Idol), who complained that she lost out to contestants that had more time with the mentors than she did. I already saw that, and it wasn’t that interesting the first time, but I have some real issues with Idol. You can read my review of last night here. While I was on TMZ, I also saw something about Lorenzo Lamas’s ex-wives and how they all look like they’ve cornered the market on plastic surgery gone bad. I believe I already mentioned something about that as well.

So, back to beauties and geeks. Back to some montages of Joe being gross, geeks dancing around, beauties giggling, Greg crying, beauties being stupid, etc., etc.

They do show the one makeover I was hoping for, Jim’s, which is the only reason I’m glad I gave up an hour of my life to watch this special. He really needed it and I thought he might end up looking good. And wow, he wasn’t even recognizable. I’m really happy for him, cause he looks good and maybe that will give him more confidence.

The end the show with a little preview of the last three episodes. You don’t want to miss it. Or do you?

About Watching The CW

The CW was born in September 2006, and inherited a mixture of programming from its parents the WB and UPN. The CW has a diverse line up from Monday night comedy to Friday Night Smackdown. In between the laughs and the wrestling are alternate reality or fantasy based shows (Supernatural, Smallville), ones that are fit to bursting with bright young things (Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill) and don't forget all the wannabes trying to make it in reality programming (The Beauty & the Geek, America's Next Top Model, Pussy Cat Dolls). This blog will review, recap, share spoilers and other cool finds related to the CW's programming.
