'Beauty and the Geek' finale

And now we know: Dave and Jasmine are the $250,000 winners of this season of Beauty and the Geek. That is a pretty satisfying end to this season.

The whole finale, though, was a little lackluster. It was great to see how the geeks were maintaining their makeovers, or how they had tweaked them, in some cases, and it was nice to see everyone together again. And meeting Josh's mom Marla explained soooooooo much.

But I would have preferred more time talking to all the couples and less staged weirdness, like forcing Jasmine to touch a tarantula and the other Josh getting a backrub from a stunned Natalie because he waxed his upper body. (That was based on a promise from some time during the show, but it was awkwardly presented on stage.)

Also, I wish there had been time for Tony to say something. He seems like a sweetheart, and he didn't get much time on the season.

Overall, it was another fun season for the "social experiment." What did you think?
