Beauty and the Geek 4 Episode 11 was pretty much just a way to fill an hour. Rather than revealing the winner, they told us it was just a popularity contest, and that America would vote for the winner. It’s now down to the final two: Sam & Nicole and Jasmine & David.

Jen kinda misses William. Huh?

Will tells us he was so embarassed by how people felt about him. He had no idea that it was actually happening.

Dave says Jasmine was helpless on purpose but became more self sufficient as time went on. Jasmine noticed confidence and sociability in Dave.

Joshua, who called David & Jasmine out for not growing enough, doesn’t regret this move, even if it did give them a kick in the pants.

On the picking up bug competition that as usual unfairly favored Sam, Jasmine made the mistake of saying her one regret was not being able to pick up the spider. So they bring him back and make her touch it now, with the assistance of her partner. She’s able to touch one of its legs. Barely.

Sam and Rebecca missed each other. Any bets on how long this lasts?

Rebecca doesn’t hold any hard feelings against Nicole for wanting her out, and Will thinks she was a genius for plotting to get rid of them.

Rebecca was happy to see Amanda leave, considering she knew Sam liked her first.

Joshua learned not to fight Shay. Shay learned patience. Shay thinks they’re the old married couple. Joshua thinks she’s the bossy mom, but it’s because she cares about how he turns out. They surprise the cast by bringing out Joshua’s actual mom. She wasn’t real pleased with the new look, but she was happy he was happy.

The viewers voted Sam as the beauty they most have a crush on, which was easy to see coming since the girls all split any male votes, while the female voters likely made up the largest percentage. Joshua was easily voted as the geekiest, another pretty obvious result. Josh came in second.

Josh wasn’t around for the makeover but did decide to do his own. He’s got a new hairstyle, new wardrobe, and has gotten rid of all his body hair. Looks to me like another ringer who wasn’t overly geeky to begin with. He claims he did this because Rebecca promised him she’d give him a full back massage. So they just happen to have a massage table to make this promise come true.

Hollie plans to go back to school and study anthropology. Jen will take her realtor’s course.

Josh has a girlfriend now. Luke’s a player.

And the winners of Beauty and the Geek Season 4 are… Jasmine and Dave. America got it right.

We got down to our final two in Beauty and the Geek 4 Episode 10. Obviously, one of those two teams is Sam & Nicole, this season’s twist. The other is Jasmine and David, which also is not a surprise, since they were considered a weak team, making them strategically a good team to drag further, though they did come on strong when they needed to.

Mike tells the teams there’s a(nother) new twist. This one probably won’t not suck any less than the previous ones. Before revealing that, though, the final two teams will get to go to each other’s home towns.

David takes Jasmine to Somerville, just outside of Boston. She’s concerned she’ll be judged for how she looks/talks, but that doesn’t present a problem. His friends surprise her when they tell her how social he is. She gets to be a LARPer. In public. In the process, she kills everybody except Dave, regardless of what side they’re on, but she can’t read the baron’s words because they’re not in Elvish.

Of course, the first place Sam takes Nicole to is the gym in Davis, CA. Then somehow the words coming out of her mouth are about being ready to go clubbing. She thinks there’s some point in the past in which he was a little more down to earth.

Sam goes to Nicole’s college, where he probably won’t find any frat parties. There she shows him she’s a good singer. Then she brings him to meet her roommates, where he likes to see her happy go lucky side coming out.

Nobody from Jasmine’s home is a cartoon character, which is disappointing to me. She takes him to visit her mom, then to babysit. On the visit, she learns Dave’s a friend.

Dave and Jasmine are hoping the winning team will be about who changed the most. Sam and Nicole are more interested in a quiz, or better yet one of the male-oriented beauty challenges Sam keeps winning.

Mike reveals how the winner will be determined. It’s not about who changed the most, or about what they’ve learned. Rather, it’s a popularity contest. America will vote.

Jasmine tells Dave to lighten up and just speak from the heart and have fun. Sam also wants to just have fun with it. Nicole would rather point out specifics and treat it like a quiz. It’s safe to say most people have already made up their minds, regardless of what’s said.

Nicole says she can relate to more people and take things a little less seriously. Sam says Nicole taught him how to not be crazy and unable to stand still, allowing him to be capable of learning. Jasmine and Dave point out how they didn’t want to be partners at first, but that they’ve grown and learned not to judge a book by its cover.

Voting will take place through Friday November 30th at noon EST, through both text messages and online.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 12, where we will find out who the winner is.

Joshua and Shay were eliminated in Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 9, which brought us down to the final three teams: Jen & William (the team that hates each other), Sam & Nicole (the team the show was rigged to favor), and David & Jasmine (okay, so I at least like Jasmine, even if she’s still an airhead).

David still thinks William and Jen can learn to not hate each other’s guts.

The next challenge is in wine country. Most of them are hoping to get drunk. This will be a team challenge. Whoever doesn’t win goes to the elimination room.

They’ll pick 20 pounds of grapes, stomp them, and bottle, cork, and label them. They’ll have to work closely: being tied together. What this has to do with what they studied, I guess I’ll have to keep wondering. Sam’s happy because he’ll be able to speed Nicole up, as he drags her down the hill. Jen and William don’t know if they have enough, but they decide to head back anyway and take a chance. David and Jasmine head back with 20 pounds and are the first to be able to start the next part of the challenge. However, William and Jen only have 13 pounds, so they have to go back down the hill. Sam and Nicole got back with 25-30 pounds. William and Jen catch up with 20. So now everybody’s stomping grapes. Dave and Jasmine fill up three bottles first. They easily get the win before the others can get any bottles filled. Jen and William were as much of a disaster as could be expected in something requiring a lot of teamwork, while Sam’s physical ability was not enough to be able to carry Nicole. Sam decides to be a baby and refuses to eat, pouting all day instead.

William and Jen are studying. Together. They still hate each other, but they’re at least working toward a common goal.

They watch the first episode of this season. David and Jasmine relive how much he didn’t want to be her partner, but he’s happy now, while she thinks he just needs to learn how to lie to women. They try to convince us Sam’s not still a meathead. William and Jen hated each other. So no change.

Despite his earlier beliefs that Jen and William need to be around to repair their relationship, Dave helps Nicole study because he’s got a crush on her. He plans with Jasmine to go on a double date with them if they survive. Then she tries to convince him he should tell Nicole he likes her before she leaves for the elimination room. Right before elimination, Jasmine goes to say goodbye and drags Nicole back to see Dave. In his mind, he asks her on a date, inviting her out to eat when they get back to Boston. She just sees it as going out with a friend and doesn’t expect it to go anywhere.

Jen gets her first question right, as does Sam. Jen misses her second question, but Sam gets his. William apologizes to her because he mispronounced the word while they were studying. William gets his first question right, as does Nicole. William misses his second question, which is about a pop singer for some reason, so he and Jen are finally eliminated. They’ve learned to tolerate each other, though.

Next week, the teams go home to meet their parents. They also learn the winner will be decided in a unique way. That’s probably not a good thing.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 11 Meet the Parents, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

In Beauty and the Geek 4 Episode 8, Jen and William continued their bickering, as it became more obvious they were never going to not hate each other. I’m so over both of them at this point. In a (lame) twist, John and Natalie were sent packing without even being given the chance to defend themselves in the elimination room.

William discusses the money and wanting to win. The only problem with him actually caring about winning is that Hell has not yet frozen over.

The beauties will study animals and insects. The geeks will study how to be a flare bartender. Sam’s upset that he’s not the bartender. Jasmine hates bugs. While studying with Shay, they freak out over a bug flying around them.

Beauties are up first. Roaches, giant millipedes, snakes, toads, grubs, spiders, and scorpions are revealed. Jasmine, who hates all bugs, and Shay, who’s afraid of spiders, go crazy before the challenge even begins. They must put the animals in the terrarium matching their scientific names. Mike reveals they must do this without any protective gear, not even gloves, and that the animals might nip at them a bit. The girls are completely grossed out. Sam seems unconcerned. Gee, what a surprise, another challenge that unfairly favors Sam. Jasmine runs away from Shay just walking past her with the snake, let alone actually being able to pick one up herself. Shay’s performing very well despite her fear. Jasmine is hopeless and takes 8 minutes just to pick up a toad. Sam has no clue what he’s doing, but he’s touched a lot grosser things and is having no problems filling the cages with what may or may not be the correct animals, which is messing with the girls because they’re scared he’s beating them easily. Jen’s strategy is to let the animals pick their own cases.

Sam - 7 of 7, with 5 correct
Shay - 7 of 7, with 1 correct
Jen - 5 of 7, with 1 correct
Jasmine - 3 of 7, with 0 correct

Following the challenge, Jasmine, who I’d argue did the best regardless of what the results may have been, continues to be upset when they get back to the mansion. David’s there to support her, and they make brownies together.

Jen wants William to dress better for the challenge, but he resists her attempts to help. Sam, meanwhile, is turned off by William’s cockiness as he performs. Joshua, however, takes Shay’s advice, including hairspray and tanning spray. Jasmine dresses Dave up but says she’s not a good drink critic because she’ll drink anything.

The geeks will be judged on bartending style and flare. And actually being able to make a drink may count for something. Joshua makes a big mess. Nicole does the same trick over and over again. William tries not to scare people but does well otherwise. David’s entertaining, which combined with his confidence is enough for the win. William’s upset that Dave won based on his personality, which is probably true.

Shay gets emotional because of how surprisingly close she’s gotten to Joshua. William and Jen still hate each other, but she says she’d stop someone if she saw them kicking him on the ground. Progress. When they get into the elimination room, Shay and Joshua hug, while William and Jen can only muster a handshake.

Jen gets her first question right, as does Shay. Jen gets her second question right, as does Shay. William gets his first question right, but Joshua misses his. William gets his second question right, eliminating Joshua and Shay. The old married couple is finally gone, but she’s already making plans to go to him and tell him how to dress.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 10, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

In Beauty and the Geek 4 Episode 6, Sam and Nicole won the challenge because Sam’s superhero, an underwear model who breakdances the bad guys, was on some planet allegedly considered a viable superhero worthy of winning a challenge. They sent best friends Natalie & John and Jesse & Erin to the elimination room, where Jesse & Erin were sent home.

John and Natalie return, and they’re not happy that their friends are gone.

Mike comes upstairs and pretends the game is evolving. But they’re just going to Mexico. Sam’s looking forward to learning the history of… spring break in Mexico.

Jen asked William if she’s fat, and he said yes. He eventually reveals that she reminds him of the kids in high school.

The beauties have to study the Mayans. As usual, Jasmine’s afraid because she knows, well, not much. But that turns out to be completely irrelevant since this challenge basically has nothing to do with the Mayans. It’s a memory game. They must remember symbols with their matching numbers and use them to crack the code. There is no running because it’s sacred ground, but they can walk as fast as they possibly can. I never did figure out where the line is between power walking and running myself. Jen says she can’t come up with a strategy. Sam guesses at the first treasure and gets it correct, with Natalie close behind, and then Jen. Sam gets his second box, with Natalie still close behind. Sam guesses again to get his third, and Natalie’s still on his tail. Sam wins the challenge by a few seconds, which means no revenge this week.

The geeks must learn salsa. Josh is happy because this is something he can actually use when he goes back to normal life. William’s afraid because salsa’s about passion, while he and his partner can’t get to anywhere not resembling hatred. Shay tries to get Joshua to feel sexy. Good luck with that. David shows he can do a roundoff double backhandspring. Then Jasmine kisses him. A drunk Natalie hits on Sam, which she says is strategy, but he’s not falling for it. I think.

Jen tries to convince William to let go of what happened in high school. She tells him she doesn’t have the personality of them, and he asks her if she’s kidding him.

They get new partners, and Jen, who’s allegedly so nice to William, is thrilled because it means she won’t have to dance with him. They’ll dance with experienced dancers. Jasmine tells David to not think. Easy for her to say, but he seems to really be listening to her. Nicole does a good job. David took Jasmine’s advice and did well. John, who we’re supposed to believe is a geek, has no problem getting down the passion aspect of it. Joshua comes in second. David is the winner.

The elimination will take place in Mexico. I thought this was another pointless twist until they revealed the next part. The two teams will be given 30 minutes to unanimously decide who to send home. They agree pretty quickly to keep Shay and Joshua. Sam wants to get rid of the threat. Nicole wants to get rid of the people who hate each other. Jasmine and David don’t seem to say much. In the end, Sam gets his way, and John and Natalie are sent home. Lame. I’m over William and Jen, and it sucks Natalie and John didn’t even get a chance to defend themselves.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another live recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 9, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

In Beauty and the Geek episode 5, it was finally makeover time, where we found out who the actual geeks were and who was just dressed up for the sake of the show. Sam & Nicole and Luke & Katie went to the elimination room, and Luke & Katie were eliminated. And yes, I still think it was fixed.

Sam and Nicole return from the elimination room to a lukewarm reception. Nobody gets up to greet them.

After hearing the (pointless) comments from the last episode that he and Jasmine haven’t grown enough, David goes from there to the conclusion that he’s a terrible person. Jasmine manages to cheer him up.

The challenge will be held at Comic-Con. The beauties must come up with a superhero with a complete backstory and an archnemesis. They will be wearing outfits that have been designed by the geeks. Since they will be working together, they will be judged as a team, so the winner will get to choose both teams to go to elimination.

Jasmine wants Princess Bedhead as her character. She says “It gets better, or hopefully it will.” Natalie decides she wants to be a supervillain instead of a superhero, which sounds like a good idea. It doesn’t take long before the concept of being a superhero gets to Sam, who thinks he’s a superhero already. Jen wants to create a superhero who fights with her boobs. William says her ideas are stupid. I can’t think of a better descriptive term either.

I’m not real sure how sewing proves someone’s a beauty or socially well adapted, but that’s part of the geek challenge. Nicole’s feeling good about the way things are going since Sam is going to go topless, and she has enough time to give advice to the others.

Will starts bashing Jen (deservedly), and she walks into the room and hears him. She says she doesn’t care if he doesn’t like her, but they need to work as a team. As he leaves, she calls him an idiot and says she’ll resent him for life if this continues. Now that’s the spirit.

It’s not long before the geeks turn even more geeky when they get to Comic-Con (and on the ride over for that matter). The beauties don’t even give it a chance for the most part. However, Erin approaches it with an open mind.

Shay’s character is Steam. That’s about all she can remember. Erin is Aqualita Splash. Malibu Barbie with dolphins who have superpowers. Jen is Venus the Hypnotic Temptress. Yeah, she went with the boob idea. Natalie is Vinity, the lady killer who has vines covering her body and eats humans. Bad news for Metro Man, Sam, all the judges are guys. He’s a world famous underwear model who breakdances the villains. Jasmine also went with her original idea, Princess Bedhead. Her spray puts people to sleep. Her personality is more important than anything else in her presentation, and it goes over well with the judges.

The judges were pleased with Jasmine, but her character ultimately didn’t work as well as how entertaining she was. Sam and Nicole won. What the…? Yeah, I’m pulling out the rigged card again. How is a breakdancing underwear model a viable superhero? And to add insult to injury, his partner did very little in this challenge, which she didn’t have to because the costume was underwear.

Sam and Nicole get to pick two teams to go to elimination. Natalie & John will go up against Jesse & Erin. The fear is they are too close to each other to stick around. The guys will be tested on fashion; the girls will be tested on comic books.

Natalie gets her first question right, as does Erin. Natalie gets her followup question right, but Erin does not. This gives Natalie & John a 2-1 lead. John gets his first question right. Jesse misses his. Erin and Jesse have been eliminated.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 7, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

In Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 4, Jesse and Erin got their revenge, sending Rebecca and Will to the elimination room. Sam also got duped by his partner into sending an allegedly strong team, but the team that everyone feared proved so bad at Q&A that it didn’t matter anyway because Rebecca and Will didn’t get a single quesiton right, and as a result were eliminated. This breakup of the couple should benefit the house and removes one person who’s not there for the right reasons, while it may get the other one on the right track (but I doubt it). Sam’s obviously upset by this.

The beauties go back to school for reading, writing, and arithmetic. The geeks’ challenge is a surprise, but before that, it’s geek makeover day. Let’s find out who the ringers are who geeked up specifically for the show, as well as how much the actual geeks can improve.

Jesse’s mom cuts his hair. David wants whatever’s most efficient. John seems willing to change but doesn’t know how he wants to change. Shay tells Joshua he’s probably going to have to get rid of everything he has.

More than one of the geeks shops at the discount rack. David says he doesn’t want jeans, so they make him wear jeans. Then there’s hair coloring and body hair removal.

Not so sure about the blonde look on Jesse, but he looks pretty good. Minus the glasses, plus a shave and new hairstyle, David looks a lot better. William looks as good as can be expected, but Jen’s not impressed because she doesn’t like him anyway. Joshua’s still a geek but an improved geek. Nicole had a great makeover. Luke, who looked good to begin with, is improved as well. For John, all it took was the loss of the shaggy hair and glasses, and he’s easily one of the best looking guys in the house.

It’s announced that the next day there will be a prom. The geeks must ask dates and will go to prom with anyone other than their partner. Nicole can ask another geek. Sam can’t go, and one other beauty will be left out as well. Yet another problem with this year’s twist, whether it creates some drama or not.

Luke asks Erin right away. Jesse asks Natalie. Dave thinks Nicole’s going to ask him, but she asks John, so Dave asks Katie. William asks Jasmine. Shay’s the one who gets left behind.

While everybody else is in the hottub, Sam’s studying. Not so much to learn something but because he wants to win. The next day, they find out what the challenge is. They have to be a teacher for a class of little kids, to be judged by a principal. Jen has no clue what she’s doing. Erin, who didn’t even open the book, knows where the east and west coasts are, and that’s about it. Katie’s as clueless as Jen. Jasmine’s pretty much on the same level as the kids. Sam doesn’t really know what he’s doing but has the personality to get by and impress the kids. Shay similarly uses her personality and interacts with the kids to do a good job. The winner of the challenge is Shay.

Geeks must mingle and campaign with the students at the dance. The geek who gets the most votes wins the challenge. Luke’s a little too comfortable interacting with strangers, as is John. Dave’s pretty comfortable but not particularly interesting. John ends up winning the most votes, which was pretty obvious.

John sends Sam & Nicole to the elimination room. Sam takes it well. Shay sends Katie & Luke because they need to be there least. Joshua is dumb and says he considered sending Jasmine & David due to lack of growth. Valid point or not, there’s no need to risk making enemies like that.

Sam gets the first question right, and Katie gets her much harder question right as well. Sam gets his second question right, and Katie again gets a much harder question but misses it this time. Nicole gets her first question right, and Luke gets his right as well (again, much more difficult). Nicole gets probably the hardest question her and Sam have gotten all along correct, so Luke and Katie have been eliminated. I’m calling foul based on these questions. Sam & Nicole got very simple questions, whereas Luke & Katie got questions that confused both beauties and geeks alike. Anything to keep a twist alive I suppose.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 6, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

In episode 3, Will decided to be an idiot and win a challenge he didn’t need to win, which pretty much meant he was screwing himself over no matter who he picked. His partner got to keep her boytoy, and while Hollie and Josh were eliminated, Erin and Jesse still want revenge.

We start off with Rebecca picking up right where she left off, getting into bed with her “distraction.” Not shy about this fact, they wake up Nicole, who gets up and leaves and starts crying. She worries about what people will think about her, but I don’t think anyone has a problem with her. She comes to the conclusion that Rebecca is the problem, making another person who wants to get rid of Will/Rebecca.

The challenges for the week were picked by the public on The CW website based on their favorite of three choices. For the beauties: rocket science, computer science, and social science. For the geeks: massage by geek, fashion by geek, and body by geek. They don’t tell them which challenges are chosen, so they have to study for all of them.

Shay tries to teach Joshua how to squeeze his butt cheeks together, which goes over as well as can be expected. He’s the Richard of the show, minus the ADD. Will and Rebecca hope for the massage challenge since she’s in school for massage. Luke reveals he doesn’t have any use for that team either.

America has indeed chosen massage. Big surprise. Chicks with fake boobs in bikinis. Shay’s full of confidence, saying her partner’s probably going to suck at this. Each geek must massage each beauty (Sam included) for three minutes and will be judged on how they do. Dave uses the typewriter technique. Because his mother likes to be massaged that way. William’s a scratcher. Somebody goes a little too high when massaging their legs. Three people tied for second place, one point away from the winner. Will, John, and Joshua came in second. The winner of the geek challenge is Jesse, which was way too obvious because they made such a big deal about how they were afraid of Will winning.

Rebecca breaks down crying already, even though she hasn’t even competed in her challenge yet. After the challenge, Will goes to Erin to try to plead his case. She takes offense because he kept putting it off until after Jesse won the challenge. Not letting himself get down, Will believes Rebecca’s serious about the challenge, as we go to a scene of her wasting her time with Sam. Sam said earlier he felt bad about Nicole being upset, but he’s still ignoring her and not bother to study with her.

For the beauties, America has chosen rocket science. Each beauty must assemble and launch a rocket. Like the last challenge that increased Rebecca’s odds of staying in the house, this challenge increases Sam’s, as he’s the clear favorite here. This is an example of where the male beauty is unfair. Sam wins the challenge, coming in ahead of Rebecca, meaning if she goes home, it’s ultimately his fault. But better her than him I suppose. If nothing else, it does at least give him the opportunity to choose Rebecca’s opponents. Nicole gives him advice of who to pick, telling him to send someone she thinks can beat them (but telling Sam she thinks they can’t).

Jesse picks Will and Rebecca. Rebecca says it’s about revenge, but Erin denies it. Sam chooses William and Jen, as Nicole suggested. They must again study all three subjects. Rebecca starts crying in her confessional (again), saying she needs this change. Apparently making out with Sam counts as change. People volunteer to help Jen because she actually tried to do something to get to know them. Rebecca’s crying (it’s like watching Amber in BB8) that nobody wants to help her. Jasmine tells Will to get people to help, but Rebecca refuses to let him.

Jen gets her first question right, but Rebecca misses hers. Jen gets her second question wrong, as does Rebecca, giving Jen a 1-0 lead. William gets his first question right, but Will misses his. Rebecca and Will have been eliminated. He played too hard, and she was more interested in a guy. A fitting boot, one everybody but Sam will be happy with. Rebecca feels they were setup, which they were (just not by Sam), but considering they didn’t get a single question right, it really doesn’t matter who they went up against.

Stay tuned to dingoRUE for another recap of Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 5, which airs Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

In Beauty and the Geek 4 episode 2, Sam escaped the axe, which few people were happy about. Tony and Amanda ended up getting eliminated, which was pretty much expected since Tony was so shy and didn’t seem able to overcome it.

Everybody’s happy Natalie and John escaped elimination, or so it appears. Perhaps they’re just excited to have some alcohol.

Sam says the geeks have experience with knowledge, while he has experience with the stuff they don’t know anything about, namely girls, who for some reason aren’t creeped out by his eyes. He then starts up truth or dare. Rebecca is dared to do a sexy dance for John. She dares Sam to do a stripper dance for Nicole, but she says it’s uncomfortable, so he does it for the beauties. Nicole takes truth and says she’s attracted to someone in the house but doesn’t say who. She says in her confessional she wants to meet an “alphanerd.” Dave assumes it’s him. Rebecca and Sam are obviously attracted to each other. It’s not long before they’re kissing. She says she’s concerned because she’s there to find out who she is as a person, which apparently making out with a guy for three hours who she just met will assist with.

The beauties’ task is to learn about anatomy; the geeks’ task is to learn about courtship and romance.

The geeks go first, and they must pick out gift baskets to be judged by the beauties. Nicole’s happy because she believes she’s more in touch with what girls want than the guys are. Joshua gets a pie, which pretty quickly gets destroyed, and one of the beauties bets it’s his basket. Will seemingly just grabs a bunch of stuff without really thinking but manages to pull it together somehow. Jesse gets a pink hat and unicorn stickers.

The beauties are asked whether they studied hard. Of course they didn’t. The top two are Will and Jesse, and the winner is Will. After winning, Will decides to do storytime, reading The Tell Tale Heart to a bunch of people. Somehow, the editors managed to find a correlation between this and a makeout session with Rebecca and Sam. Odder still, some of the girls take offense to him telling them a story.

Next up is the beauties’ task, identifying and drawing body parts. The geeks must get in their underwear and let the beauties draw on them with fingerpaints. Everybody gets the heart right. When asked to identify the left earlobe, Sam and Shay get the earlobe part. Too bad it’s the right earlobe. Erin does the whole ear. Those three are eliminated. Then it’s the appendix. Katie is eliminated because it’s on the wrong side (she got her appendix taken out 4 years ago, though), Hollie and Natalie were too low, and Jasmine just guessed and went overboard. It’s between Rebecca and Jen, and they must locate the nasal septum. Jen tries the neck. Surely at least some of these girls had nosejobs.

Since Rebecca won, Sam thinks he’s safe until next time, but he’s forgetting about Will. Will’s between a rock and a hard place. If he doesn’t target Sam, he’s stuck with a partner whose attention is divided (even she knows it’s a distraction). If he does target Sam, he’s stuck with a partner who may hate him. It also means they have to pick both teams, so someone’s going to be coming back and may seek revenge. Beyond that, winning that challenge made him a big threat, which puts a big target on his back when he does lose. On the whole, nothing good came out of that win. If he were truly smart, he’d have thrown the challenge and let someone else do the dirty work.

Rebecca decides to send Hollie and Josh because she feels they don’t need much more improvement. Will sends Jesse and Erin because he hasn’t seen them interacting with anyone other than their partners. Erin starts crying and doesn’t feel the assessment is correct. She calls him a hypocrite since he hasn’t been making an effort with her either. Hollie, similarly, feels Rebecca is a hypocrite, since she’s not focused on her transformation and is more concerned with Sam. These are two pretty strong teams, so at least some good will come out of it since having one of them gone will help, though whichever girl survives will be out for blood, not just because they were sent but also because they were sent against a good friend.

The girls go first. Erin gets the first question correct, as does Hollie. Erin also gets the second question correct, and so does Hollie. Jesse gets his first question correct, as does Josh. Jesse gets his second question correct, but Josh misses his. Hollie and Josh are eliminated, but they have a very classy exit. I’m sure Erin and Jesse will be happy to seek revenge for them.
