Wow, amazing makeovers! Nicole looks very pretty.

I have changed my opinion of Jasmine. Yes, she's a dingbat, but she seems really, really sweet. Her comment about their outsides now matching their insides was so nice of her to say. And she didn't say it to them, so it wasn't like she was just trying to be nice, but was genuine ... you know?

I still don't know who many of those so called beauties are ... but Katie and Luke left. They were in the elimination round with Sam/Nicole.

soooooo...........Geek makeover day! and now three of the male Geeks are way better looking (facially) then the supposed Male beauty of Sam.

He is sooo obviously a ringer it bothers me. I'm surprised no one seems to have clued in during the show.

i do think it interesting that some of the Geek personalities are so antisocial? Nonconformist? One track mind?

not sure what to call it.

a few seem incredibly wishywashy too. like the two guys whom Mommies cut their hair for them.

There is something Asexual about many of the geeks. Like they are not neccessarily strongly hetero.

For instance, the Prom King. He looks "pretty" now that he has had his makeover. I swear he looks more feminine than I do!

LOL Lady! You're right... I have no idea who Katie and Luke are! :-)

I fell asleep halfway thru last night, but Pamy, I agree. I was thinking that quite a few of the girls just really aren't all that attractive, but that's mostly based on their personalities. I thought they were mostly pretty shallow when they were talking in confessionals about their geeks before the makeovers.

I did catch the makeovers, and some of the guys actually look pretty normal now. Like the guy who's mom always cut his hair? (Why the heck would she do that anyways??? Argh!)

Sunshyne, if you read the exit interviews, they all know that Sam is an actor. They found out in the house.

They may have some sort of mild social disorders (like a mild version of Aspergers).

They have had actors before, including that very annoying geek guy who won one season and still shows up on various shows and reality type award shows. The one who was quite abraisive and played ragtime really fast on the piano.

And he wasn't really made over as far as looks because that is his "character". There is one geek this year, Joshua, where they didn't do much appearance makeover really. Normally in makeovers they remove people's glasses (and that is a crock because most of us who wear glasses, actually need glasses.. but for the sake of makeovers.. they just take them off).

I thought these were kind of the worst makeovers we've seen. But, then, I guess I tend to agree with whichever geek it was who talked about it seeming silly to spend so much time styling your hair just so it looks messy. I hate the messy-haired look. Also, HATED, the bleach job they did on Jesse's hair. At least I think it was Jessie. Lately, it seems any time a Hollywood stylist is brought in on anything, I hate the end result. Guess that's how out of touch with fashion I am! In the first season at least, didn't the beauties steer the geeks makeovers? Or am I completely wrong about that?

And I thought Sam was pretty obviously acting during the challenge - when he was spelling "intelligent" and he was acting like it was really hard. Just seemed like a show to me. Was very proud of the female beauty for getting the math question right, though. I'm quite good at math (occasionally do word problems for fun!) and I missed it. I wasn't counting the 1st 5 who were told.

They do always just do that glasses thing, don't they Sea! I would hope that they actually give them contact lenses, too. But a lot of the times, you are right, they just show them removing the glasses. In my case, if I just took off my glasses, I wouldn't be able to tell if I looked good! (I have worn contacts since elementary school, but wore my glasses for the last few weeks. I finally went yesterday and got new contacts and I am SO happy. But that is neither here, nor there...).

Interview with Sam. After watching this, I like him even less than I did before, if that's possible ...

Sunshyne, if you read the exit interviews...

i dont (any show, not just Geek) as they often give hints as to Spoilers.

so my comments are based ON the tv show.

glad to know that they knew he was HIRED for the show.

that is what I am referring to. That the others Knew he was a ringer. Who cares if someone says that they are an actor...lots of wannabees out there. however, I dont think contestants would be too happy knowing that a ringer was in the house to cause drama.

anyways, Will watch and read interviews after i lose interest in who will win this year.

And yeah, I agree. jesse with Bleached blonde hair didnt look very masculine at ALL!!

I'm not wild about many male hairstyles on these makeovers either.. not sure why guys want to look like kewpie dolls who just got out of bed. Just not a big fan of the pointy-head look. But I also lived through some pretty awful looks on guys in the sixties and seventies too..

I also thought some of this year's makeovers were sort of hard to "see"..

Yep.. it has always bugged me and it happens even on high end makeovers.. just pull off the glasses.. I have respect when the makeover includes flattering glasses and of course the extreme makeovers often do include lasik procedures. Of course I came from having eyes that couldn't benefit from soft contacts so getting contacts definitely required custom lenses and painful break in time. But to me a makeover that simply denies reality.. I guess it would be like if someone had to wear a hearing aide and they just yanked it so they'd look "cooler".

I tried contacts when I was 13 (ack the dark ages of hard lenses) and then got them again when I was 30, still hard but they had gas permeable, flexible hard lenses .. and I wore them for quite a few years and them my eyes kind of decided to keep changing shape and I gave them up.

I just bet that Sam wasn't the only "ringer" and even so, so what? He was hired for his part, and he and Nicole are doing pretty well in what has to be an uphill battle, being part of what I consider to be an unfortunate twist. I tend to blame the producers in those cases, rather than those they place into the situation.

I don't dislike Sam, but I do like Nicole, so I'm behind them at the moment..

so what?

LOL Nope, I aint gonna respond to that.

by the way, the eyes keep changing shape if a person does stick with just the contact lenses. So many people continuously bounce back n forth between glasses and lenses. some people have okay success with this due to their lens power.

My mom actually ended up with macular bleeding after a few months of bouncing back n forth due to a mistake made by the Contact Lens orderer. It took a while for her to convince them that it was the wrong power.

Did this show air elsewhere yesterday? Who got kicked off? The show was pre-empted due to news coverage of our fires (which are still out of control). Any info would be appreciated!

At first I wasn't too impressed with David's "makeover" but the more I see him, the more it grows on me and amazes me. Last night I kept saying all throughout the show "I can't believe how different Dave looks!!!". I seriously think that they took 10 yrs off of him!! He looked like he was 35 before, and not that this is the cure for everything, but IF he lost some weight I think he would be super cute. Since he hasn't been wearing his glasses I have noticed that he has really beautiful eyes and facial structure. Shed 30 lbs and I think we notice even more! Although he does open his eyes quite wide all the time...I wonder why he does that???

I really liked Jasmine last night (I have been feeling this way for a awhile) She seems like the sweetest out of all of the girls AND her concept last night for the superhero was hilarious. I was just hoping that they would have mentioned that coffee was her kryptonite because I thought that was the best part. So all in all, at this point they are my front-runners.

BTW I was so happy that Natalie did not win. I think that she thought that she was so good and I thought her concept of the villain was not that great. She seemed kind of full of herself.

Metroman??? ROFLMBO!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!! When the producers added the little laser beams coming from his belt (or crotch?) I was practically crying!! Now I'm sure it was easier for him because he is an actor but he still threw himself totally into character (even to the point of making a fool of himself) so I'm glad he won!

Metroman. well done, well thought out and performed by a trained actor while the rest of the cast were untrained actresses.

I dont believe for one moment that Sam made that plotline up. He is an actor that is being used to make a TWIST work on the show. they want him around for awhile and I think the Producers wrote that storyline/ gimmick for him. all he has to do is memorize his lines

are they free to go out shopping?? where did the selftanner come from? no cast member has that Orange glow...the producers must have bought it in for him when they gave him the concept.

(conspiracy theory!!!!!! LOL))

Loved last nights episode, was laughing like crazy.

How about the super hero who uses her breasts?!! I thought that was HILARIOUS!! Looks like she and her partner are going to have an even bigger falling out next week. I really don't like the geek in this combo, he is a bit of a know it all. When she said,"Don't roll your eyes at me!" I was thinking that too!! He acts like a child!! I would have thrown him over my knee and gave him a spanking! lol That was funny when she picked him up on the stage. lol

he is a child, emotionally at least. I hate to say it, but I will. That poor guy is not just a geek, he really picked the wrong show to be on.

Last night I watched Extreme Makeover and thought about how Will could really use a chin implant, his teeth remolded, his ears tucked.

SIGH. I feel sorry for the guy. you could tell how important comics and fantasylife was to him at Comicon. I was amazed at his crying on the bus.

Jasmine is the light of this show IMHO. there is a really sincere sweetness about her. Some of the other girls remind me of the snooty Cheerleadertypes who would never talk to you. Jasmine seems like someone who is geniune and real.

I thought the guys did a fair job of putting together costumes. It was hilarious and I was amazed nothing fell off as the girls strutted down the catwalk LOL

I have to stop watching so-called 'reality' shows. All the nice people go home first, so there's nothing left to enjoy. It was so fixed for Sam to win. He is never going home...blah!

The two couples that got nommed were so nice and there were others I wouldn't have missed one bit. I would liked to have seen Jasmine/David and Jennifer/William nommed. Jennifer is really acting mean to William. She kept saying he knows comic books, but she made up her goofy script and didn't really take input from an experienced comic book fan.

The contest should have been judged on what they said AND their costume, of which Sam had none really. There is no way he should have won.

I didn't see William give her any suggestions on her character. All I saw was him not liking her idea but not suggesting anything else.

Maybe I missed the part he suggested something? My hubby was interrupting my show quite a bit last night. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
