Representing on Reality TV: Beauty and the Geek Who Isn't a Geek?

032908-chris.jpgBeauty and the Geek: In the beginning, poor Sweater Vest Tommy was disappointed that the model who was hitting on him didn't walk through that door. But he proclaimed that he would indeed date her after the show. Hang on to that dream, pal!

Then the beauties and geeks launched into a flag football challenge. Beforehand, the geeks and beauties had to trade one team member. Playboy model Jillian, who keeps having to pull her tube top up over her assets, went over to the guys' side, while Chris From MIT joined the girls and got to be the lucky geek surrounded by hot chicks. As the teams practiced, Jim the Furby (we will retire "Furby" after the makeover, we promise!) attempted to throw a football to a teammate, only to have it go into the pool.

Chris from MIT managed to corral the beauties, who have a tendency to feud, into a cohesive unit. This suggests he is even more reasonable than we thought, and we're still wondering why he's on the show. He came off quite well. However, a beauty accused a non-Massachuetts geek of copping a feel during a play. As for the blue team, Sweater Vest Tommy quickly became an MVP. In fact, Chris and Tommy's aptitude on the field makes us believe that the two are in fact Ringer Geeks and are ordinarily completely non-geeky guys.

Are you sure this guy is a geek? Image from the CW.

At the end, the beauties won, and each beauty had the opportunity to pick a geek because the beauties and geeks were finally pairing off. The beauties had time to think about this, and one of them said that Jim smelled like ear wax. Yeah, well, she probably didn't smell all that great after the football game, either. And what kind of person sniffs her own ear wax?

After his excellent showing at the football game, Chris became a hot commodity and was picked by baby-voiced Cara. Sweater Vest Tommy got picked number two by a blonde woman who doesn't seem to say much. Jim got picked toward the bottom by Tiffany, who is called the "one tough mama" and who appears ready to whip him into shape. Bostonist let out a huge sigh of relief that Jim got picked because we were going to get upset if he didn't get to the makeover episode.

We absolutely cannot wait until next week, during which time the geeks sit down to talk about sex on the radio with Dr. Drew Pinsky.

America's Next Top Model: Well, the action on America's Top Model this week was taken up by rumors that Tyra Banks was fighting with Jay Manuel (not Miss J, though we get the names mixed up all the time) and wanted out of the show. That was really the most action on the show, as Fatima was quiet, and she shaved her armpits.

In fact, she made the judges happy this week during a music-themed photo shoot. Each model had to represent a particular music genre, and Fatima was going to do heavy metal. Fatima didn't strike us as an Ozzy fan, but she embraced the look and got into smashing her guitar. Next week looks like it will be more exciting, as Fatima tangles with the arty, punkish Lauren.

Chris looked good in that pink hat, too.

 

1) Tommy is legit
2) Amber came to visit him in Boston for the 3/11 premiere. Make of that what you will.
