OH WOW!!! great find!!!! After watching this marathon, I really think ya all are right about Mindi, she is the one that wins the challenges, she answers more questions than Rich, which is funny cuz he is supposed to be the smart one!

Didn't Richard say he'd give his share to Mindi or Scarlett or whoever was there when he said it?

Obviously they paired up the smartest girl with the Plant. I think I'll be sick if he wins this thing. I'd love to see Chuck win and throw it in Richard's face. Chuck may not have been very nice to Richard, but I can sure understand how R's annoying, attention-seeking antics would push someone over the edge. I've wanted to smack him from day one . . . and he just gets worse!

If Rich is a plant, I doubt he will win or if he does, that is why he said he would give his money to Mindi

"I just saw Richard Rubin on an episode of "Punk'd". He was a friend of Ashton Kutcher's! I guess he's a plant afterall..." Ashton Kutcher is the executive producer of "Beauty and the Geek" (which he calls a "social experiment")....so I don't really think seeing Ashton with the most talked about contestant from his own show means very much. They could easily have met on the set of "...Geek". Also, since Richard is such an odd duck, I can see Ashton bringing him along for fun on a "Punk'd" prank... Who was being punked in that episode? I can also envision Richard wanting to "punk" Chuck!

I guess it depends on if the Punkd ep was filmed before B&G, if it was filmed after then I also could see Aston using Rich for something

But he is an aspiring actor, not just some geek guy.. Frankly I'd like to attack Richard with a huge spray can of ROUNDUP.

I watched that episode of Punk'd the other night. Richard helped to punk Jermaine O'Neal from the Pacers.

Thanks, Keepers. I'm out of town tonight and the hotel's cable doesn't have the WB. I was hoping someone would post the winner!

Thank GOODNESS!! Richard was making me crazy.. I was almost as jumpy as he was (well, not really). Not even a good guess on Mindi's middle name.. I mean.. Mindi Katie? YEAH.. I sort of thought Richard and Mindi got some easier questions too.. I just erased it, but let's see if I can give you a bit of a flavor, Kar.. After lots of recap of all the episodes and people, we finally get to the final four. Richard wants the money, he wants to beat Chuck and then Mindi says she'll make out with him if they win.. Richard decides to "bond" with Chuck so he shows Chuck the martial arts moves that he, Richard, knows. Richard tells us, seriously, that the moves Richard in interested in are the flashy ones. Chuck, all serious, shows Richard how he'd counteract Richard's moves. LOL. Richard appears to be in pain. Richard also attempts to meditate with Chuck, but he's pretty twitchy. So each couple is sent off with the idea that each will share some talent with his/her partner. Chuck shows his partner his martial art and he's a patient teacher and very encouraging and she ends up enjoying it and says she learned more about him. Mindi takes Richard kayaking. He's "on" and twitchy (and annoying to me) BUT, he does seem to sort of get into it and is impressed with her skills. Chuck's partner shares how to do some simple but delicious cooking that she says he can use in the future and he's very serious about learning a bit and they also just learn more about each other.. they enjoy their meal very much. Richard brings Mindi into a room with a grand piano and rose petals on the floor.. turns out he's a pianist and he wows her with his skills playing Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag.. this is so much in line with his twitchy personality, but, to be fair, he asked Mindi what she'd like to hear.. mellow or animated and she chose animated (that wasn't the word he used, but.. you get the idea). Then he had her interact with him at the piano and was rather endearing, had made up a song for her. Then they contrasted how the two couples approached the final. No one had any idea what the final would be like. Richard was going crazy trying to figure it out, and it made him crazy that Mindi wasn't nervous. She was sunbathing and reading, he was pacing. Chuck and his partner (sorry but the spelling of her name is difficult) sort of encouraged each other, tried to help the other not be nervous, talked about how far they had come even if they didn't win, he pointed out that they had never been up for elimination so this was it. So.. the final. Chuck and partner to be tested first.. meanwhile Richard and Mindi each went to a separate room, and mercifully, we weren't shown what Richard did during his isolation time. There were ten questions, each had five and the questions were about the partner.. like where was he/she born, what schools they went to, where Chuck is in medical school, how to spell her name, stuff like that. They got four each, so 8 of 10. Mindi and Richard returned and were told up front that they had to get 9 right to win, 8 to tie. The host continually mentioned the $250,000. They got the first two questions wrong, so then had to get the remaining 8 correct to tie. It was very drawn out, but they tied. Then each woman had a question and got it right. Then each guy went and whew.. Chuck was right and Richard was wrong. Chuck's partner not only had a difficult to spell first name, which he got right, but an equally unusual middle name, which he also got right. And Richard twitched to the end. Next week should be interesting!

From the OC Register, The Watcher column.. More on Mindi The latest on "Beauty and the Geek" contestant Mindi, whom the Watcher outed as a ringer last week. Hometown reorts say that Mindi made the dean's list at the University of Missouri. So much for the "academically challenged" beauty.

I thoroughly enjoyed Richard from the first show til the end. Just so, he deserved to win the money more. I also think that Richard said "Jackie", not Katie. Either way, it was the worse guess.

Someone with a more solid musical background please tell me if it was just me..... When Richard was playing Maple Leaf Rag, did he lack any sense of timing and rhythm? The tune was recognizable, but it just seemed like the notes were very scattered and rushed. Or is that how Maple Leaf Rag is supposed to be played? Of course, that seems to coincide with the way he handles his social interactions too.

Jackie! That's it! Sorry.. I had just deleted the show and then saw that some people missed it. Yeah, Rags are usually played at that speed.. he did a nice job of it. And it certainly did fit him, lol! See if this link works MapleLeafRag LOL.. scroll down and click on Maple Leaf Rag.. then try Spaghetti Rag and Dill Pickles Rag!!

The link worked.... Even at that speed, with the one you provided on the link, I was able to find the beat so to speak. My background in music is, I played violin/viola from kindergarten to HS. And of course I marched for 6 years in drum corps, instructed later, and remain a fan now. So its sort of ingrained in me to "find the beat" in music. Its something my body does whether I'm concious of it or not. Yet, last night, I found myself trying to tap my foot to his playing and just couldn't. For me, I guess it wasn't so much the speed, as it was the beat. Does that make sense?

Scarlett mentioned in her TV Guide interview that she had a 3.4 GPA in college and is now thinking about graduate school. While all these women easily qualified as "beauties", none were exactly stupid. (Nor did I think all the guys were extremely smart or extremely unattractive). Overall it was a fairly sweet series. It's concept didn't depend on hook-ups or deviousness. That was a nice change of pace. It did fall apart for me a bit when it became nearly 100% about Richard v. Chuck.

Yeah it does make sense, Who. Usually I'm really good at that, have been all my life.. I think I was still recoiling from anything Richard and this seemed to be something he was pretty good at and almost uh.. normal, for him.. And yeah, especially with your drum corps, you'd have to be able to find the beat or you'd be.. beat.. I'm back to taking piano now and it is a group lesson deal and it is amazing how people don't find any beat at times! AIEEE!
