Beauty and the Geek: Bye-Bye, Pi (and Sheree)
The drama! The bitchery! The uncomfortable flashbacks to high school! Beauty and the Geek is totally sucking us in this season.
The challenges were appropriate and really pointed out where both groups need to work on things. The geeks are so damn task-focused that they can't listen! Sure, the model was annoying, but not knowing her name? We can't believe it only took two questions to determine a winner. Guys, that's pathetic. Even more sad – we suspect Mario only paid attention because he figured out the listening was the real challenge. Does he listen to women in real life? Who knows.
Most of the beauties are at least trying to do their work – with a few notable exceptions (Cecille, I'm looking at you!). Sure, the blondes did their studying in bikinis by the pool, but most of them did study. We just wish some of the women (again, Cecille) didn't get all giggly and jiggly at the museum. It's a museum, not a Salute To Your Boobs. You actually need to recognize, say, the Wright Brothers' plane. Sigh.
Pi crossed the line from clueless to creepy this week, and we're not sorry to see him go. His tagline was "Has only kissed one girl," and that's hardly surprising. Here's a hint: It's never a good idea to present a Portrait of a Breast as the essence of woman. And what about his goodbye interview? He didn't listen to Sheree, who had proven herself to be a smart, dedicated partner. Pi – good riddance. Sheree – sorry to see you go.
If only Sheree had been partnered with Matt, because Andrea? Annoys. She's judgmental and dismissive, quick to say what other people are doing wrong, and not so willing to admit her own flaws. Yeah, yeah, she has a point that the blondes seem to have ganged up against the non-blondes, but she seemed quick to cry "Cliques!" rather than think about how alienating she can be. We can hardly blame the blondes for avoiding her.
And those blondes – look, Cecille, you're not half as captivating as you think you are. You really do have to open a book. You can't get by on your hair and boobs. And stop treating the geeks as your personal playthings! You keep saying "I'm just flirting; I'm not going to do anything," but you sure seem to be attacking the geeks like a cat does
a mouse. It's not pretty. Oh, if only she wasn't paired with Nate, who's one of our favorite geeks. We want her gone, but we want Nate to stay.
So what did you think? Did Pi creep you out? Who are your favorite men and women – and who makes you want to throw things at the TV? Whose makeover are you most looking forward to? And do you think the women are recreating high school? Talk about it in the comments!

OMG! i love Beauty and the Geek. it's my favorite show of all time. i love the way JennyLee and Nate have feelings for eachother it's like the best love story i have ever seen. I really do hope that jennylee and NATE (THE GREAT) get together after the show i hope jenny doesnt dump him for some mean slobby model guy. Oh yah, and i have the bigget crush on Nate in my opinion he's the perfect man. i would love to be with a guy like him. if he ever reads this i just want him to know i'm his biggest fan and i think he's so hot, cute, smart and well he's everything a girl could ask for!
I do want Nate to win but i don't think that Cecille deserves the satisfaction of winning. If the show does have a twist even though i think it's already over the producers should have had NAte win so Jennylee and him could share the money together and ive happily ever after...Only if Fairy Tales did come true.lol well yah to wrap everything up i love Nate and i wish i could meet him ooh i love you nate and your the greatest man i have ever seen!!!

Hate to see Sharee gone. She was by far the best girl there. Down to earth and real! Pi... def. freaky. Totaly agree about Cecile, another freak! Poor Nate, who do we route for now?

Thank god Sanjay & Tori are gone. Sanjay was ok. Tori was completely useless. But then they blonde bimbo from the Chicago area has the only woman that would even come close to deserving to win, Sheree. The only one that had half a brain to study. Unfortunately she got saddled with the only idiot Geek.

Hey Sarah, I agree with your comments 100%. Couldn't have said it better myself. Andrea is quite annoying, and Cecille, although most of the supplied entertainment on the show (dumb as a box of rocks, and shows it!), should go home!! My favorite geek, though, is paired with her, and I definitely do not want to see Nate go home. Can't wait to see his makeover! And Scooter too. He has a good personality.
