Beauty and the Geek: For the next-to-last episode, the teams traveled to wine country for an "I Love Lucy" challenge.

Dear Dane: We know that you have a lot on your plate, what with wrapping up "Bachelor No. 2," recording all these MLB commercials and keeping college kids in a frenzy.

--Jimbo was excited to hear about Bachelor No. 2 shooting at East Boston High.
