'Beauty and the Geek': contemplating the twist
I was going to close this entry with a note about how cwtv.com should update their Beauty and the Geek page so the photo link didn't point to pics from last season. But since its web site just crashed my computer and killed the whole entry, that's going at the top. So there!
ANYway, I like that they are mixing things up on Beauty and the Geek this season by adding in a male beauty and a female geek. Too bad the beauty, Sam, is insufferable. At least he won the "beauties debating social and political issues" challenge and saved him and partner Nicole from getting sent to the elimination round for sure.
For the geeks' challenge, it was a nightmare scenario for people like me who hate watching people embarrass themselves. They had to write and perform a rap for Three 6 Mafia. Thankfully, the footage mostly steered clear of the actual lyrics and was more people forgetting the lyrics, the beauties dancing in the background, and John juggling like crazy in the middle of his performance. He almost won, but Will, who (relatively) confidently delivered some (relatively) clever rhymes, ended up winning.
In the end, super-shy Tony and Nicole went home, which wasn't a surprise since they were against John and Natalie, and we've seen clips of John walking in the room post-makeover, which will be on a future ep.
So a memo to the CW, too, not just the webmaster: How about not spoiling your own show?
