Project Runaway - 
by copygodd
As always, the episode starts off with the remaining players waiting to see who won last week's Elimination Ceremony. This week, however, the teams say they don't really care who won, as they liked both teams in the competition. Halfway up the steps, Ankur trips and falls up the stairs, prompting Joe to ask if anyone remembered who was wearing what shoes. Hanging out with the Beauties is really starting to pay off for Joe, in a bizarre shoe fetish way.
Later, down in the library, Host Mike Richards tells the teams that this week they'll have to learn to communicate with the other side on a different level. He also tells the Beauties there's a special note in their study materials they should read in private. Fortunately, TVgasm's crack investigative staff has obtained a copy of the note, which you can see here. Actually, the note just tells the Beauties they have to ask a Geek who is not their partner on a date. I wonder who gets dibs on Host Mike Richards?
Although she's nervous, Jennipher asks Josh to if he'd like to go on a date with her. Josh says the fact that she was nervous asking him out showed him that women could be as nervous about asking someone out as a man is. Evidently, it never dawns on poor Josh that she's only nervous because she's asking him out. While he tells her he's really excited about going on a date, as soon as she leaves, he says he feels sick. Yeah, who's nervous now, Josh? Who's nervous now?
Brittany asks Ankur to be her date, and Ankur is his usual humble self. "I've never asked someone on a date, and I've never been asked on a date," he says. "But I think I can hold an hour long conversation about shoes if I have to." Big talk coming from a guy who only owns three pair of shoes, one of which he describes as a "sneaker-colored pair of sneakers."
Ironically Cher is really nervous about asking Wes out, even though they just bumped nasties the week before in Vegas. Finally, Sarah asks Joe if he'd like to go on a date with her. Of course, he says yes. Joe: "I've never been asked out before. It was a new thing for me. I couldn't say 'yes' fast enough." Sarah is relieved that Joe accepted her invitation: "I don't think I could've handled rejection," she tells him, "especially from you." Wait! She didn't mean it like that. It's just that she and Joe are friends, and a friend turning her down would've made her feel bad. Yeah, whatever. Joe's fine with it, though, and tells us this is his big chance. After a quick breath check, he decides he needs to double up on the gum and mints. It's just too bad he didn't double up on the Cold-Eeze, as we'll soon see.
It's time for the dates. First up are Brittany and Ankur. Brittany is amazed at all the little differences between the two of them: "I like Diet Coke and he likes this fruity stuff," she says. "And he doesn't like fruity perfume, and I have fruity perfume." I bet this is just what the conversations during dinner at Stephen Hawking's house sound like. Only more metallic and robotish. Speaking of robots, Ankur tells Brittany the reason he doesn't date is because he's been busy concentrating on this research and studies. "Making a small robot?" asks Brittany. "Yes," he says, adding with a maniacal chuckle, "A small girl robot." Brittany later tells Ankur she had such a good time tonight she's going to start making guys take her to dinner instead of a movie on the first date, prompting millions of cheap single guys across America to weep openly. Thanks a lot, Ankur.
Sarah says she's not nervous about her date with Joe, as she's totally comfortable around him. Unfortunately, she's not as comfortable around his runny nose. Joe doesn't know the proper etiquette for blowing one's nose at the dinner table, and decides to hock a few boogies into his expensive dinner napkin. Over and over and over again. Understandably, this throws Sarah off a bit. As does Joe's offer to let her try some of his dinner; the same dinner he's been blowing his nose over all night. (I believe he was eating Chicken ala Phlegm.) Sarah says this could really turn her off in the world, because if there's one thing Sarah hates, it's mucus.
It's snot my fault.
Jennipher and Josh's date goes a little better. She starts off by asking him about his murse. Josh says he doesn't like to have "bulging pockets" and he just finds the murse to be more practical. Of course, he is afraid someone is going to steal it, and he'll have to yell, "Stop! That man stole my purse!" First Woody Allen and now Jerry Seinfeld? Is there a Jewish comic this guy won't steal material from? Josh tells Jennipher he hasn't had a date in five years, to which she replies that he just needs to be more obvious. "Sometimes, women just don't get it," she says. I'm not sure, but I think she just told Josh to be a stalker.
