Anyone watch tonight?

I was so disappointed that Nadia & Mario voted for the 2 brunettes.

I was hoping Mario would suggest (Since he knew she was in the clique with the blondes and even said he was hoping she would be swayed by them.) that they each get to choose a couple.

Or maybe they both agreed to choose 1 couple each and it was fancy editing making it look like Mario wanted to vote for both blondes as was shown and maybe they came to an agreement later, not shown? Did that make any sense? lol

I just put the baby to sleep and now my mind is mush. lol

I didn't watch the first season but I'm already addicted to this show. lol

I think they could be looking at it from another way in choosing who to nominate. It may be strategic:

Keeping the blonde clique as your friends, keeps the target of a large group OFF your back.

Also, the blondes are <100>! So if it comes down to you and them in the final two at the end of every show, who would you rather answer questions against? The <100> blonde, or one of the two brunettes who study?

I could not BELIEVE Pi tonight. The single breast with the orbiting stick men?

I knew Mario would win the challenge, the moment he clued in that the girl was talking too much.

I would have liked to have seen the other couple lose the final challenge, because they were the ones who wanted to take the money and run, and she didn't want to be with him last week.

I guess that Kinda confirms my theory that Pi was a ringer LOL

The bickering at the end of the show was hilarious.

((Yeah, I was disappointed that at least one of the blonde teams wasnt named. However, if you really wanted to win, you would get rid of the smart girls. The two dark haired girls were pretty good competition.))

Holy Moley! That model was pretty old judging from her skin tone. Lots of surgery which kept her face looking pretty young though.

I'd guess she really was around 45-50 yrs old LOL

Which one, Sunshyne4u? The playboy model? She's the one I thought looked like she's been around the block a time or two.

It just goes to show you that the most beautiful are the most hated and the smartest are the most feared but Sheree was both and it sealed her doom. I did expect more from Pi though.

I just caught this show, had never watched it before. I am now HOOKED! Very entertaining and as Sunshyne4u said, the bickering at the end of the show was very funny/hilarious!

Chiliwilli, I believe Sunshyne was speaking about the naked model the Geeks had 20 minutes to sketch/draw. The one who kept talking about watching Pretty Woman and giving various tidbits about herself...likes, dislikes, etc. She did look to be in her late 40's.

Eeyore--I couldn't believe Pi's sketch (If you even want to call it that!) too! He must be very suppressed, hopefully he learned something from the show.

Ya, I hadn't thought of the whole 'get rid of the smart ones' thought because of him telling Nadia he felt the 2 blondes didn't 'deserve' to be there because they didn't care and wouldn't get as much out of the show.

I can't wait till next weeks episode!

"Holy Moley! That model was pretty old judging from her skin tone. Lots of surgery which kept her face looking pretty young though."

I've worked at two schools that offered figure drawing classes. Nude models for art classes are often women who are accustomed to being naked in front of people (former strip/exotic dancer types), but are too old to continue. They don't want students (18-22) to be more interested in the naked than the drawing. I once hired a model who was in her 60s. It's a good art exercise because they have to draw the wrinkles. :-)

Am I the only one hoping Ashton gets Kendra from "The Girls Next Door" aka Hugh Hefner's youngest 'girlfriend' on this show???

I imagine this is one show I watch waiting for a train wreck... and find it interesting!!

I think they wanted to keep friends, and the guy who went home WAS pretty clueless, as shown at the end. And why would she choose the girls who had been friendly to her over the two who lobbied with her to boot others, and who, at least one, felt somehow superior?

Seemed like there was stereotyping within stereotyping going on.

But also, if those two WERE the smartest, well, its a competition.

Never thought about the exstripper connection, its possible eh?

I know that usually the Art Class models are all shapes, sizes and Ages though. I done many art classes thru the years but never a drawing class.

Anyone watching tonight? I enjoyed the makeovers, although it didn't take up as much of the show as I thought. I was rather surprised that they sent the guys shopping by themselves.

Mixed feelings about the elimination. Trouble is sometimes I want 1/2 of a team to stay even if I'm okay if the other 1/2 goes.

It's on now (although I'm not watching it, but recording it). Who got eliminated? Who came outta the makeover the "most improved"?

I agree Pamy. She just doesn't GET the premise of the show. She was PERPETUATING stereotypes and cliques, and the value of "coolness".

I think Andrea had it dead on, she was learning chess because she was there to learn about new things. Jennylee just went on with labeling her as not cool.

Glad to see Nate stay though.


Costa - I think it was obvious the two bearded guys (Nate and Scooter) were going to look the most improved. They all still looked a bit train wreckish to me though.

Niels and the Star Trek guy really worked their new look, which I think is one reason Niels won the date auction, just edging out Nate.

This episode made me cringe.

The makeovers were as i expected. I dont believe for one minute Nate has never worn antiperspirant (However, in my family we rarely sweat so I'll go with it)

That blonde girl's obsession with Nate is getting strange. Wonder if he will be 'safe' in the house now that he is pretty good looking Minus the wild hair and beard.

Notice during the Auction that Both the men I've chose as Ringers were extroverted enough to do pushups and sexual (pelvic) stuff.

Sorry, nothing nerdy about those ex-bearded guys EXCEPT their acting nerdy for this TV show.

there is a big difference between being a Geek and a nerd. Nerdy can be very popular and not bad looking......Geeks are usually unhelpable- their personalities and looks arent fixable. (sorry Spelling bad today!)

I still dont have names down. I'll suggest that Beauty pagent's guy is a geek, so is Star Trek guy.

Nate, scooter and Niels are not geeks. I'd call them nerdy LOL

I'd not even call Mario Nerdy. He is just plump and insecure. Maybe collecting video games and comics is a little nerdy but HECK those things are often worth big bucks eventually.

I hated his Green tshirt. I also thought Mario got ripped off when his haircut looked so awful. Surely they could have made him look Younger. He had a middleaged businessman haircut LOL

I thought the fake dates were fun to watch. Once again, most of the guys are not shy and were very nongeeky when dealing with the ladies.

looking forward to CeeCee going DOWN next week...but i have a terrible feeling she is doing a janelle for the producers.

Pretending to be a dumb blonde (as directed/ encouraged) when she is actually really smart.

On a final thought, I wonder if there is any way that Nate and that Girl will 'hook up' during/ after this show. He is not shy and I wonder if any of these guys would actually say NO if given the opportunity for some smooching and groping LOL

(no I dont want to see that on the show LOL)

Actually, I would love to see BigBrother come up with a similar concept. Am really tired of the producers trying to fill the house with good looking fake people. (actor wannabees)

Oddly I saw the dark haired girl as perpetuating stereotypes too.. she really feels superior, did it last week saying they were the smartest/best and she was snarky this week and guess what, she blew both questions. Too bad, so sad. CeCe has her own issues and they are making it sound like she's gone next but who knows.

Some of them are taking the whole thing way to seriously.. they know people a few days and act like they are selling them into slavery instead of just putting them up for eviction.

I do like the show.

I don't find them as fake as some do, so I enjoy it. It is so much more light hearted than, say a Road Rules/Real World challenge... yikes.

That blonde girl started a fight at a perfect time. It seemed to blow the pagent girl's concentration completely. The "Payless" shoe store answer was given as she obviously went blank.

heck, I even knew it was Target....and I'm canadian without any Target stores even around LOL

As we know from BigBrother. Setting someone up for a public argument works wonders...they are upset and worse, they are feeling embarrassed as everyone witnessed it.

(I noticed the girls were not alone. the others were there in the rooms getting ready)

I'm not liking any of the "beauties". In past seasons the beauties seemed more sincere. This time around they seem more suited for Real World, as someone already mentioned. There was always a sense of camaraderie and I'm not seeing it this time especially with the faux Janie.

Jennilee's treatment of Niels when he said who he wanted put up was ridiculous. As well she did say to Sheree that she was acting like a geek learning to play chess. I'd love to see her and Cece go asap (she is a very hard looking girl, she is going to age real fast if she keeps up the tanning). I felt sorry for Mario, I know how discouraging it is to have nothing fit you. Last week I believe Sheree made the comment at the competition about them being the best in retaliation to the blondes who were watching and the cliquiness she perceived with them and their treament of herself and the other girl who left the prior week.jmo

You know, I thought Jenni was an absolute stunner when I first saw her, and one of the most beautiful girls there. But now... her personality really makes her look ugly, in my opinion. And I think her geek has it right... no one has ever stood up to her before. Her little tantrum in the room was quite distasteful.

ITA, Costacat. I remember her saying at the very beginning that her beauty always got her what she wanted. I, too, thought she was one of the most beautiful until I saw her last night. Now I just think she's a snarky biotch.
