After the teams were picked by Joshua and Shay, episode 1 ended with the surprise introduction of the tenth team, composed of one guy who’s a beauty and one girl who’s a geek.
What’s the deal with Sam’s eyes? This guy’s creeping me out right away. One of the geeks was worried that their chances of hooking up with a beauty just got a lot worse, but I’m not seeing it, as the other guys are better choices than him, with a couple typical ringers who are good looking and will be even better off with a makeover. To make matters worse, he thinks he’ll be doing the girls a favor if he gets with them, as they need a confidence boost. Did they try to find the most obnoxious, conceited guy they could, as long as he had muscles and was decent looking (but still not as good looking as he thinks)? He’s most looking forward to hardcore partying with a bunch of hot girls. Yeah, this guy’s here for the right reasons. Regardless, I’m sure one of these girls is dumb enough to fall for him.
On the other hand, Nicole seems nice enough but is worried that the whole time she’s there, she’ll be the ugliest girl.
David tells Jasmine she was last on his list of partners. And this guy’s supposed to be smart?
The geeks are going to have a rapoff to be judged by Three 6 Mafia. The beauties are going to have a debate.
Tony’s afraid to practice his rap in front of Amanda, which is a wall she’s going to need to break through because having that extra person to bounce ideas off can be very useful.
The judges say they want to see Nicole’s booty. Shay wants to pull Joshua’s pants down some, but he’s afraid they’ll fall off. David thinks he’ll be great at this because he considers it another LARP, but the judges don’t get impressed by his performance until Jasmine turns it up a bit, as she says she loves shaking her butt in front of people. Will’s very comfortable up there and gets a very positive response from the judges. Half the geeks forgot the words. John really gets into character then adds to it with juggling.
Not surprisingly, Will and John get the votes from the judges. Between the two of them, they decide the winner of the two is Will.
The first debate is between Jasmine and Rebecca on the topic of raising the federal minimum wage. Both are terrible, but Jasmine’s smart enough to be able to get some laughs. Hollie and Natalie debate drilling for oil in ANWR. Hollie does a decent job. On the subject of G8 countries aiding third world countries, Katie gives a competent argument, easily beating Jen who says… nothing. Debating the drinking age being lowered, Sam seems to do okay because it’s the one subject he knows something about, Shay apparently wipes the floor with him, but then he comes back with a very good rebuttal.
The judges decide that Sam was the top debater. This is bad news for everybody but the producers, as the other teams were looking forward to kicking him out.
Jasmine and Natalie decide to spy on the deliberations about who’s going home (even though John warned them not to because it could create a reason for them to be booted) and find out that the decision is going to come down to who’s the biggest threat. Will catches them and is not happy.
Sam picks John and Natalie because they’re a threat. Will picks Amanda and Tony because he’s been overly passive. Tony’s afraid he let her down by being too shy.
The girls get two questions about politics. Natalie gets the first question wrong, as does Amanda. Natalie gets the second question right, taking a 1-0 lead. The guys get two questions about hiphop. Mike tries to act hip… don’t do that. John gets the first question right. Tony gets the next question wrong, and Tony and Amanda are eliminated. Tony had the most potential room for improvement between the two teams, but I think the right team stayed.
