Michelle, ex-boxer, Boston resident, lost her battle for the heart of Tila Tequila, the woman who is famous for ... well, we're not sure. Although Michelle wound up leaving the house, she was probably better off for it. This week saw the episode in which a thug headbutted another male contestant, wreaking havoc upon the guy's face. How is Michelle, who seems oddly normal compared to the rest of the contestants, going to compete with......

Beauty and the Geek: The season finished off in such a way that, alas, made us miss last season. In the past, the beauties and geeks visited each other's hometowns, and they got to see their partners in their native habitat. David took his beauty, Jasmine, LARPing in the Public Garden, while Nicole showed off her singing skills to Sam in Somerville. Instead, the producers went for some cheap drama by bringing back all the......

Beauty and the Geek: The geeks were presented with a special challenge--making over a model. Sweater Vest Tommy heard the word "model" and said in confessional that he thought it would be "Amber Amber Amber Amber ..." He cannot get the model who led him into the closet off his mind. This makes us wonder--exactly what happened in that closet? But who knows with Sweater Vest Tommy? As his partner, Amanda, said, "I feel like......

--Beauty and the Geek: Enjoy this season of "Beauty and the Geek" because it will probably be the last one. Ratings for the show have plummeted, and the show is going on hiatus in case the CW can think of a way to jazz it up. Now what will MIT and Harvard students do for kicks? Our local geeks are trying to go out on a high note. This week, when the teams went up......

Beauty and the Geek: When we first saw Jim from Bedford, he reminded us of a Furby because of his beard. And we demanded that he get a makeover because we wanted to see what was beneath the hair. Well, the CW granted Jim his--and our--wish about getting a makeover. Even though Jim and his partner, Tiffany, were booted before the makeover episode, the CW knew they had a good thing when they saw it,......

Beauty and the Geek: This week, we were surprised that the geeks didn't just toss one of the beauties into the pool and wreck their hair. If they weren't shouting up a storm (Randi) or having problems with basic multiplication tables (Cara), they were squealing about getting dirty (all of 'em). One of the geeks spat toward a beauty. Even though the loogie didn't land on her, Bostonist is proud to say that the behavior......

Beauty and the Geek: The episode Jim was so cruelly denied unfolded this week as the geeks received their makeover. But MIT Chris and Sweater Vest Tommy didn't really need makeovers. Well, Chris needed to lose his Hawaiian shirt, but that was about it. Somehow, the makeovers wound up being makeunders. Chris' new haircut emphasized his receding hairline and gave him more than a passing resemblance to the thick-necked Jeffrey Sebelia of Project Runway 3.......

Beauty and the Geek: This week may have marked the saddest "Beauty and the Geek" episode ever to air. In the episode, the beauties and geeks finally split into pairs. MIT Chris was with helium-voiced Cara, Sweater Vest Tommy was with a blonde who looked like every other blonde in LA, and Jim was with a self-proclaimed tough gal named Tiffany. No one noted the irony. Jim's partner immediately began the task of making him......

Beauty 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......

Beauty & the Geek: The three Massachusetts geeks have very different personalities. Sweater Vest Tommy is discovering his inner babe, Jim just wants to be loved, and Chris is not putting up with any drama--ever, ever, ever. (That alone makes us wonder why he's on the show.) Poor Sweater Vest Tommy came thisclose to getting laid. The conniving Amber wanted to woo her way out of the elimination room. She declared, "One day Tom's going......
