--Beauty and the Geek: Bostonist is officially addicted to "Beauty and the Geek" since Massachusetts is so well represented, especially during the makeover episode. Our geeks looked dazzling after some hair stylists and waxers got their mitts on them. Poor Dave the Somerville LARPer had to go through a painful chest-waxing, but the results were worth it.
Nicole the Tufts Musicologist emerged with a nice haircut that gave her a surprisingly gothy vibe. And John the MIT student, Geek Most Likely to Get Some, didn't disappoint. Once the beauties saw his forehead, they all melted.
In fact, Nicole, the lone female geek, might have melted when she saw Jon, too. In the challenge, geeks got to ask beauties to prom. Dave, who has been nursing a little crush on Nicole, was hoping she'd ask him--but she asked John and his newly exposed forehead.
At the challenge, each geek had to campaign to be the king of the prom, and John cut such a dashing figure that prom attendees didn't even realize he was a geek! All Massachusetts representatives managed to stay on another week. That includes Beauty Jen from Northeastern, who might be getting into a spat with her Geek Mate next week.
Screengrab of John in his hottie phase from TVGasm. More on Sarah/Vita Lightly from "America's Next Top Model," "Kid Nation," and "Survivor" after the jump!
--America's Next Top Model: We're loving Sarah/Vita because she's not putting up with the whiners. She a riotous stretchy face when describing the lovely but Lisa and called Lisa "Debbie Downer."
Alas, Sarah didn't have a good week while posing as a "fashion gargoyle." (For the record, Bostonist thinks "Top Model" has the silliest challenges ever seen in reality-show history.) She wound up in the bottom three because she wasn't "gargoyle-y" enough and look like she was selling burgers according to model coach Jay.
--Kid Nation: It's Election Week, in which the four kids on the Town Council gets to find out how much everyone else hates them! And then they cry!
Well, it's not so bad for Laurel, who shows a knack for politics typical of Massachusetts residents. Her fellow members on the Green Team like her so much that they want to keep her and don't run anyone against her. Adult politicians, take lessons from this child's technique!
As for the Red Team, Guylan, who says in his bio that he admires Fidel Castro, decides it's time for change and runs against Mike. This kid stages an overthrow so swift that Mike didn't even see it coming. When Guylan steps to the front, one kid yells, "Power to the people!" (No, Guylan is not from Cambridge, ok? He's from Upton.) So that makes half of "Kid Nation's" Town Council from Massachusetts. Yay--now let 'em go home and act like kids!
--Survivor: China: The more she talks, the more Denise grows on us. She isn't one of those silly strategy-heads. She does the real work around camp and has earned compliments from James, the tough gravedigger. Has anyone else noticed that this season's Survivor seems to have the most lazy bums per cast ever? May Denise make it to the final round without having to pound on one of the male or female cupcakes lying around and bitchin'.
