anyone still watching? I FINALLY managed to watch it last night...and really liked it. They took all the things I liked about Average Joe and made it better. I like that it's a "social experiment" so none of them are supposed to hook up by the end of the show...even though I think that someone might. I like that it's opening up the "beauties" eyes to the fact that looks aren't everything...(even though I don't think any of them ~except Richard ~ are that bad looking)!
I like the show a lot, although all my favourite guys are getting eliminated!
I think Chuck, Brad, Joe and Eric were all really nice looking! Shawn and Bill just need a little polish. Richard...he looks just like ScrabbleBoy, the last guy I dated. Same stereotypical Jewish tendencies too...he's the kind of "good Jewish boy" my dad always wants for me. (Times like that I'm very thankful that it's my dad who's Jewish and not my mother...oy!)
The women, however, annoy me. Just when one of them starts to show redeeming qualities, she makes another shallow comment. I don't think any of the women are as pretty as they think they are. Some have great hair, but big noses. Or a nice figure but their eyes are off. None of them are total stunning beauties.
Of all the women, so far I think that Scarlett is the least arrogant and most well-rounded. Lauren is the stereotypical dumb blonde. Krystal was too arrogant. Caitilin runs hot and cold. Mindi...well, I give her bonus points since she is paired up with Richard!
I just hope Richard doesn't win...I can put up with him being a geek, but not an annoying geek!

I'm still getting to know who everyone is...but next week it'll be interesting to see the guys with their makeovers!
ScrabbleBoy...snark, giggle! I can see why you didn't stick with him!

Will Richard please go home (he is so annoying) and not the cute geeks!!
I was thinking the same thing! Richard was the only guy I didn't find the least bit attractive in either appearance or personality...so he's bound to win!
It is SOOOOOOOOO obvious that they are building to a Chuck/Caitilin vs. Richard/Mindy finale. If we want to talk about rigged reality shows...at least with some of the other allegedly rigged ones there's the attempt to make it appear that it isn't rigged by giving the audience a "say"...with Beauty and the Geek, on the other hand, it is so blatantly obvious. Then again, I could be totally wrong. This is an Ashton Kutcher production after all so hell, maybe this could all be a new variation on Punk'd. It does have a kind of a Punk'd mixed with The Joe Schmo Show feel.
I mean, not that I am complaining, but...
