Beauty and the Geek Live Blog
The live thread will keep moving below the jump with the latest post on top.
8:57--The winners are ... David and Jasmine!
Yay, Somerville! Your geeks are the best! And check out Datedavid.org, 'cause he's got cash now.
8:55--And the winners are ... Okay, the CW sucks. They cut to commercial right when they were leading up to it.
It's worth mentioning that the finale was pre-taped, but it would be wonderful it it were live and David just went on a LARPing spree on stage.
8:50--Jen is going to take a realtor's course. She carries cobras and imagined herself as a superheroine killing the enemy with her boobs, so why can't she conquer triple-deckers--with her boobs?
8:47--So, after all this filler--let's get to the winner. NO! DENIED! Another montage of "classic" moments! But seeing David with a calculator watch and a roll of duct tape on his belt proves he's changed a lot. And it's worth it to see Josh dance face-level with Northeastern Jen's boobs.
8:42--We just saw the audience, and there's a LARPer out there waving a sword.
8:40--Hell-ooo, Rubber Band Man! He looks good, but we can't imagine what he went through to wax himself. David is probably sitting off to the side thinking that he will never suffer the pain of waxing again.
8:35--Fan favorite time with Shay and Joshua, also known as the "King Geek." These two may not have made it to the finale, but they should have their own show. But we discovered that Josh has quite the close relationship with his momma. Cut the cord, sweetie, cut the cord!
And they bring out Josh's mom--who is exactly like him. It's clear where he gets his geek from.
8:30--Rebecca apologizes to Nicole for boffing in the top bunk. But she was probably even sorrier after she found out Nicole was the one who engineered her departure.
More after the jump.
8:25--Sam and Nicole emerge, and Nicole, like all the other geeks, has kept up her makeover and looks better than she did on the show. She says she's trying to follow Sam's example and mellow out. Sam still looks like he's been bathing in self-tanner. He looks like he wants to hump the sofa once he sees Rebecca. Somehow, it doesn't seem that he's changed much.
Ewww... flashbacks of Sam and Rebecca boffing in the top bunk while poor Nicole is trying to sleep on the bottom bunk. Disrespect! Can you imagine what that guy sounds like in flagrante delicto? "Whoa ... duuuuude .... duuuuude ... DUUUUUDE!" We don't blame Nicole for weeping in her confessional after that traumatic experience.
8:17--Did we really need to see Jasmine squealing over a tarantula?
8:15--David and Jasmine emerge from backstage. David has a haircut and a blazer, and he gives Jasmine a big, fat bear hug. Turns out they haven't seen each other in four months.
David says that Jasmine suffered from "learned helplessness" in the beginning. Ouch. Seems he's retained a little of his prickliness.
Josh says he's glad that David is growing, but, then again, if he hadn't said anything, he and Shay might have been sitting on the sofa at that moment.
8:13--We get a montage of David being a tremendous douchebag when he tells Jasmine to her face that he doesn't like her, and it wasn't clear why he didn't like her in the first place. But he seemed to wake up after fellow geek Joshua called him out and he got a kiss from Jasmine. Give a dude who hasn't gotten any action in a while a kiss, and maybe the douchebag will turn into a prince. Maybe?
8:11 -- Just saw the preview for "Crowned" about mother-daughter beauty pageants. I hope deep down no locals are in it because it looks too painful to watch.
8:05 -- Whoa--Josh from Josh and Hollie suddenly got hot. John from MIT is still the Geek Most Likely to Get Some. Jen still looks embarrassed about her partner--especially since his hair now looks like the fin of some aquatic animal.
8:00 pm -- Okay, we know it isn't live and that the local geeks are at Felt right now, but the suspense is still there. We can't wait to see how the geeks maintained their makeovers.
But that "Believe" song may very well be the most annoying on earth. It might be worse than Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings."

I'm a little late on the uptake, but I personally believe that we need to see it anytime anyone anywhere squeals over a tarantula.
Loving the l-b, Caroline!
