It's A Date! - 
by B-side
Anyway, time for the Elimination Room. As the teams headed in, Bill proudly announced, "Chances of winning tonight are 90%." Okay, I guess they'll be losing. And sure enough, that's what happened. While Mindi went three for three with her math problems, Lauren had greater difficulty as converted three yards to sixty-four feet (ouch) and calculated the sum of 59 and 45 to be... 144. Ouch. Longtime listener, first time adder. To be fair, Bill also missed a question, but it was remarkably sneaky. On a date, who should pick up the check? Bill answered "the man," but apparently, the correct answer was whoever asked for the date. TRICKY! I hate you, Brian McFayden. Just felt like saying that.
And so another episode came to an end. Richard managed to steal a kiss from Lauren, upping his grand total to TWO girls kissed (still can't believe #1 was boring Krystal). It looks like we're in for another showdown between Richard and Chuck, which should be enjoyably tame (again, not Real World fisticuffs here).
What do you think? Is Richard capable of growing? Is he still good TV?

I've never seen that show before, but it's fun to watch Richard. He's such a trainwreck of social awkwardness.
He's the Urkel of this Family Matters. Had he not been cast, this show would have been canceled.

How the hell did Richard get SIX phone numbers? Did they have no age limit on the "women" they needed to get phone numbers from? Did he offer to "cat-sit" for 70+ year old ladies absent-mindedly wandering through the land of $10 hamburgers and sweaty tourists that is CityWalk?
Impressive use of the gay screenwriter angle by Chuck though -- though it kind of defeats the whole "transformation" purpose of the challenge? And how sad is it that Chuck will soon learn that "Scar" got her nickname by ripping the heart out of men she manipulated using her sex appeal to get what she wants.

Did anyone see Richard on Regis and Kelly on Monday morning? He was freaking hilarious. I loved his pseudo-impersonation of Mr. Philbin and his spoon/fork double entendre. Also, he just left the stage as soon as his last segment wrapped up. Usually guests wait until the commercial break before they leave. What a strange character.

Okay, Chuck. 7 competing teams means 6 eliminations to "crown" one winning team. 3 eliminations had occurred, meaning that the show was indeed just past the halfway point.
Other than that, I totally agree about the "chances being equal" thing. It always irks me when that is said.

In the picture of Brian McFayden, dressed uncannily like the Hamburglar...
does it look like something is protruding his right cheek?

I was really disappointed with Chuck using the "gay scriptwriter" bit in order to get phone numbers. How is that going to help him get a girl in real life? He's always down on Richard for hiding behind his obnoxious Woody Allen schtick, but when it comes to a challenge Chuck's uncomfortable with, he hides behind the gay scriptwriter act. Come on Chuck, you're supposed to learn and grow through this experience!

great recap, b-side, you were dead on with the makeover commentary (your oooh! ahhhh! eh! oy! is still giving me the giggles). it's funny how much bill changed by just taking of his glasses and putting a little product in his hair.
i did notice that kite-illin and lauren had a special bonding moment a few episodes ago when they were making fun of everyone else in the house in a bitchy but humorous segment (where caitilin said she wanted to throw chucky out the window, eliminate all the geeks, and get the real party started).
