I was wrong, Bryan McFadden (Host) was also the host on Cupid, not For Love or Money.

Did anybody else watch the show last night besides me? Do you think Richards sun glasses will catch on? I like all these people a little bit better each week. Next week they get to go out on dates. That should be interesting.

Poor Richard needs to buy a clue. It's really interesting seeing these people interact and seeing some of them overcome their stereotypes. The "pretty girls" are learning to appreciate the "geeks" as people, seeing past their geekiness to value their special qualities (except for Richard!). The guys are learning to be more comfortable around the women. It's really interesting to see them grow and change over such a short period of time. I was telling DH last night, the nice thing about this show is that it's not mean-spirited like a lot of the reality shows. You don't get the sense that the producers are out to embarrass these people. Some of them do a quite capable job of embarrassing themselves anyway (cough cough**Richard**cough cough).

I think poor Richard is just basically uncomfortable in his own skin and acts out to deflect attention away from that fact. I wish he would just relax and be a real person. I keep thinking there's probably some nice little unassuming girl out there for him. If only he would show a little bit of a normal personality.

Wow, they really did a bang-up job in casting this imo. Imagine, they had to find people who were visually compelling and credible in their respective roles, but somehow likeable or relatable and open to change. With Survivor & BB you always hear that people can turn out way different than the producers had anticipated. This show seems like it couldnt be going better... and yet doesnt feel scripted (maybe just well edited). I am impressed.

Every time I hear Richard say something, I can't help but think that Ashton Kutcher is whispering into the mike in his ear exactly what to say.

Buggles, ITA.

I always say that it doesn't matter what the "reality show" is, it's all in the casting.

Apprentice I think does the worst casting. And obviously I think B&G did, at least with this installment, the best.

I just heard there will be another Beauty and the Geek.

Casting is already starting...that should be interesting.

I think this is so well-done, EXCEPT for having Richard on the show. He's like the ringer they seem to feel they need on each show with geeky guys.. a geeky obnoxious guy. Too bad, becuase everyone else on the show has grown so much and for the most part the show is very sweet.

Do you think that Richard is a actor, hired to be that obnoxious, etc.?

Marej, I hope so! I never thought that Richard might be a plant but now that you mention it....I sure hope so.

I'm kind of thinking Richard might be a plant. I don't see how anyone can be that obnoxious. I think he ruins the show.

But don't must of us know a Richard...someone who you constantly think just can't be that socially inept? It's almost like he gets so completely nervous that he tries to be funny so people will hate him for that instead of who he really is. I kept saying to myself when he was on the date "OK Richard, when you're on a first date make sure you make it all about her!!!" I thought the girl was incredibly sweet considering, but I was also so glad she told him "Richard, there wouldn't be a second date" so that maybe he will figure out that he needs to act very different next time he goes out.

Richard has to be a plant!!! I find it so hard to believe he is actually like that in real life. I was shocked that I actually do like this show. The makeovers last night were great!

I think Richard is a plant like the most obnoxious "regular Joe" (or whatever they were called) was the first season. I wish they'd realize that they don't NEED them in this format.. the other guys are endearingly bumbling but sweet and intelligent. Richard may be intelligent but he isn't smart and as they've all pegged it, he isn't being genuine and isn't taking in the experience.

Richard has even worn thin on my nerves, and I'm usually pretty darn tolerant of the type others like to take an instant dislike to (mostly cause I can empathize with them).

Lauren seemed to be more into the "dumb-but-cute-blond-chick" role than anything else. Even before the questions started in the elimination room last night, she was cocking her head in that "aren't I cute, even though I'm dumb" kind of way.

Too bad they don't do a "Stud and the Fat Chick" show or something. I'd sign up! But with these kind of shows, even if they break down and have "ugly" men (Average Joe, etc), they will never break down and not cast the most beautiful women they can find. Even if they did do a "Stud and the Fat Chick" show, I probably wouldn't qualify, cause they also only like the 20-something'ers.

I loved the makeovers last night, too. But I was pretty hard-pressed to see much of a difference between "old" and "new" Richard. The others, though, looked really good!

Yup, I thought Richard looked exactly the same as he did before, but some of those guys made great improvements! My DH thinks Richard is hilarious and thinks he should be a standup comedian, but I just think he's obnoxious and annoying. He does kind of remind me of Woody Allen about 30 years ago. Somewhere out there, there's a nice little Jewish girl who'd love to call him her own! I was really surprised he got any phone numbers at all in that challenge last night. He did get a couple of girls to talk to him, so he's not hopeless!

DH and I were laughing in the closing scenes when Richard was bounding back up the stairs after the elimination, "Chuck's going to want to kill himself when he sees that Richard's back!" Poor Chuck!
