'Beauty and the Geek 3': almost finale time

At first, I wasn't really sure about the casting on this season of Beauty and the Geek. A couple of the geeks seemed to clean up a little too well, and some of the beauties seemed uninterested in anything besides tanning and possibly winning some money. Over the course of the show, though, it appears that everyone has grown and learned a lot about themselves.

Except for CeCe.

She is fixated on winning the money. She doesn't think she has anything to learn or change about her life. She wants to marry someone rich and hot and not have to work. She still thinks her best feature is her pout.

Ick.

Sure, last season, some of the teams were put off by eventual winner Cher, who also desperately wanted to win the money, but it was more about not having to work three jobs anymore and possibly going to med school at some point.

But CeCe is all about the shallowest of aspirations, and unlike her fellow teammates, she doesn't seem to have come to the realization that there is more to life. It's kind of disgusting. And I hate to say it, but if she plans to live her entire life based on her looks, she is going to be sadly disappointed when the sun damage she's inflicting on herself catches up with her and she's left with wrinkles, hair bleached into total destruction and the inability to hold a meaningful conversation.

So, as much as I like CeCe's partner, Nate, I'm rooting for Scooter and Megan to win this thing on Wednesday. I still wish it could be Mario and Nadia in the finale instead of Nate and CeCe, but there's no going back now, right?
