Beauty and the Geek: This week, the geeks pick up flair bartending skills, while the beauties attempt to learn zoology, which is a thinly veiled ruse to give the beauties a chance to scream at animals. Yet again, Sam, the male beauty and Tufts Nicole's partner, dominated the competition, and Jasmine, David the Somerville LARPer's partner, freaked out at holding the icky animals.

To make Jasmine feel better after bungling the beauty challenge, David made her brownies. The brownies turned out badly, but it was a nice moment compared to the constant sniping between Northeastern Beauty Jen and her bratty partner William, who appears to be begging for a spanking.

The flair bartending was far more entertaining than the "Fear Factor" portion of the show, and the geeks seemed to learn something, even though they spilled mixers all over the place. However, Nicole got a little too into the spinning portion of flair bartending, as she could not stop spinning a bottle around her head. She's lucky she didn't pass out from dizziness. David easily won the challenge with by using more flair in his personality than in his bartending, and all the Massachusetts competitors were safe for this week. By the way, David's friends are letting the world know that he's available and ready to woo women.

Kid Nation: Well, the producers must have thought things weren't exciting enough over at "Kid Nation," and they decided to torture the little critters by forcing them to swap team members. Laurel, Queen of the Green Team, decided she wasn't swapping anyone, an act of loyalty to her teammates that made her look snotty because she wouldn't make a sacrifice.

Meanwhile, the teammate swap caused fights, physical threats, and potty-mouthed shouting matches. If these kids weren't brats before they went on the show, they are now. Therapists everywhere are probably rubbing their hands together in glee because so many of these kids will wind up on the couch. After one ugly fight with his team in which a team member menaced him with a lollipop (if you aren't watching, these kids are weird), Guylan said he wished he hadn't run for Town Council. Of course, to stir the pot even more, the producers are holding elections, and it looks like everyone will get voted out.

Survivor: China: Is it just us, or does Denise seem to get left out of all the big decisions? Like last week, she wasn't entirely clued in on who was going to be voted out, and it seemed to be the same this week. All we can say about this week's episode is a) she didn't get kicked out, and b) she got to eat something.

Project Runway: Alas, no Boston designers are on this season. But three of the models are from Massachusetts, and we're hoping one of them gets that fashion-magazine spread.
