When I was a kid, somewhere I saw a show where they did a joke about that, and the kid couldn't remember if it was "in 1492, Columnbus sailed the ocean blue" or "In 1493, Columbus sailed the great blue sea" and I've had trouble with that one ever since 
But I was sorry about the pair who went home last night -- the girl who survived managed to plunge to the bottom of my "like" list in one easy episode.
You mean the girl who was paired up with Joe, the redhead guy? I know what you mean. Seemed like the sweetest, most sincere, least superficial one then BOOM...heads for that other guy Brad.

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!

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...

I have been tired of Richard since the second episode. He is obviously there till the end because Scarlett/Forgot his name have been editted way too UTR for them to make it to the final. I like everybody and I am going to miss Lauren because though self absorbed she has a sandra bullock type goofy that I like. PS Bryan Mcfayden you suck! PPS Bryan Mcfayden your shirt was too tight. I know your jealous of all the attention the geeks get but wow dude buy something that fits. You Work Out we get it! Your still annoying. Richard size annoying

Yeah. Chuck's annoying too. But it seems every guy/girl I start to like goes home, and the hugely annoying Richard still gets to stay around. He's very lucky he has Mindy -- she's way smarter than he is, I think. And I agree with Buff -- Lauren was a complete ditz, but there was something very appealing about how good natured she was. And that make-over of Bill was the absolute best. His new hair was brilliant. Though did you notice -- every one of the guys dumped their new clothing the next day.

Alexa that's a great point. The whole time I've been watching this show I can't help wondering if what Richard does is exxagerrated to a point.

My guess is no. I dated a Richard...and there were no cameras around, but he was just as spastic and also neurotic. He blamed it on his Orthodox Jewish upbringing. I blamed it on his mother babying him too much.
Man, wouldn't it be great to bring the parents on the show?? I would love to see how they differ between the beauties and the geeks!

that's cool...I always like to know what happens after!
I watched part of REgis & Kelly yesterday...Richard was on (I guess they are milking his celebrity for all it's worth). His mom was in the audience too. Regis asked him if it was just an act (said he reminded him of a young Jerry Lewis)...his mom answered for him that no, he has always been like this!
His mom answered for him? Well, enough said right there. As far as the need for more personality in the geeks, that would defeat the purpose of the show, kind of. Part of the idea is to get the geeks to break out of their shell. You start out with a bunch of guys that have more or less already done so (like Richard), it would be interesting perhaps but defeat the purpose of the show.

What happened last night? Shawn the boyscout totally blew the camping challenge!  and, as predicted, it is a Chuck vs. Richard finale  I'm hoping that Chuck wins...even though I didn't like him diagnosing/psycho-analyzing Richard! Mindi has been incredible - she's gotten EVERY question correct during the "elimination round" I'm glad they will do a re-cap...would like to find out what they learned from doing the show, see if anything carried over after the show and see if Scarlett gave Chuck the time of day after the cameras stopped rolling!

I hate Chuck too but there is way more hate coming my way towards Richard. So I am rooting for the lesser of two evils. Go Chuck. We need Joe and Erika back! That is a geek you could cheer for.
Totally predictable. Richard vs. Chuck for the finale. Also not breaking tradition was Scarlet. They seem to develop some redeeming qualities, Scarlet in fact was becoming the most likable, sensitive and sincere girl on the show and as per tradition with these girls, turned it all around in one episode. Maybe Chuck is rubbing off on her (in more ways than one). Ironically Caitilin, who was becoming the least likable to me, stuck up for Richard, which was a nice sentiment if not necessarily a deserving guy for whom to do so.

Yes, she answered for him, but in Richard's defense (probably the only time I'll defend him) he did tell Regis to ask his mother! Maybe he was just being a good son and helping to get his mother to appear on national TV!
Uh, OK, well if his mom answered for him because he specifically deferred to her, then that's fine. But nobody said that originally, and I didn't see the show. See, I can roll my eyes too.

These guys are my least favorite of all of the "geeks" -- interesting that what got them there were two very smart girls. Mindy's so much smarter than Richard -- if they win, the whole lot of the money should go to her, since she earned it.
The $250K might not matter to Richard at this point anyway, seeing as how he'll surely get some type of TV deal based on being annoying on this show...hosting, brief sitcom guest star career, acting, whatever.
P.S. did I see part of a promo during the show last night indicating they'd be running a marathon of the entire series some Sunday night or something? When did they say that would be?

was that a bearded Chuck that I saw?
It certainly was . I, too, look forward to the "reunion"!!
It also looks like Mindi went blonde from the previews...I thought she was one of the nicest looking beauties in the House before...

I taped it and only watched bits and pieces between commercials while The Cut was on. I think that Chuck isn't as obnoxious as people thought...he just gets very insecure when out of his element. And he seemed very sincere in complimenting Richard on his sense of humour.
Watching Mindi kiss Richard was just nasty though!!!
Agreed Red! She was kind of shoving her tongue into his mouth and it just looked uncomfortable. I don't think Richard even enjoyed it!!
