First up is Brandon, who thus far has given me nothing, other than he looks like Mr. Bean. Tristin picks Brandon, and together they select the fish-tank room. Ankur is next, and makes it clear he has no idea what this show's about when he tells the camera he can't work with morons, so he hopes a moron doesn't pick him. He gets picked by Jennipher, because "if he can make that bow tie, maybe he can make me a really cute belt." Yeah, from duct tape.
Tyson, who obviously knows a thing or two about impressing the ladies, demonstrates his world record technique for solving a Rubik's Cube, without looking! Cher is impressed, saying "if only we could harness his power for evil!" But not as impressed as Thais, who picks Tyson as her pet project. Upstairs in the room, however, Thais is a little worried about having to share a bed with Tyson. Is she afraid he'll try to solve her Rubik's Cube when the lights go out?
Chris comes out next, and shows the beauties a sample from his line of custom greeting cards. The one he shares is meant for a cheating girlfriend. Outside: "I hope you're happy." Inside: "Cuz you ruined my life, you bitch." I like Chris' moxie. And Chris likes his chances, as he tells the camera, "A girl cannot meet every day a guy who makes his own greeting cards, his own T-shirts and has great hair." Yeah, especially since I'm no longer available. My wife is a lucky woman indeed. Amanda picks Chris.
Josh is really nervous, but agrees to go next. While funny, he's channeling Woody Allen a bit too much for my taste. Maybe he'd calm down a bit if one of the women were a teen-aged Korean girl. Josh likens his introduction to the Beauties as facing a "sexual firing squad," and later tells them he feels like "Howard Carter discovering King Tut's tomb," and that he has "butterflies in his stomach that seem to be puking." I can't believe the girls didn't come to blows over who'd get this keeper. Cher decides to pick Josh, as she feels she can teach him to be "less anxious, less nervous and not wear terry cloth on a hot summer day." Josh later tells us how he excited he was to be picked by Cher. "For someone who looks like that to pick someone who looks like me, that was a boost of confidence. And a boost of anxiety. I mean, there were a lot of boosts going on there." And he hasn't even mentioned the one in his pants!
"Sweet."
To decide who gets Joe, the two remaining girls opt for a game of "Rock, Paper Scissors." Only Sarah doesn't know how to play, thinking that "rock" crushes "paper". That means Sarah is stuck with Wes, whom she thinks is the least geeky of the bunch. Of course, that's like saying Simon Cowell has the smallest breasts of the American Idol judges.
Next we get a quick montage of the Beauties and Geeks getting settled in their new digs. Thais is dumbfounded to learn Tyson's brought five extra Rubik's Cubes with him, "just in case." In case of what? A puzzle emergency? Thais vows to break Tyson of his Rubik's Cube obsession.
Jennipher can't believe Ankur only has three pair of shoes. She's brought fifteen pair! Ankur can't understand what the big deal is: "I have a pair of sandals for when I don't want to wear shoes, and shoes for when I do." Jennipher asks what color his shoes are. "Uhm, sneaker-colored?" is Ankur's genius-answer. Yeah, I can totally see why this guy didn't want to get paired with a moron.
After a quick round of speed chess, it's time to get in the hot tub. Amazingly, none of the guys are big hot tub fans. Josh explains his reluctance: "I've never been someone who can be around a hot tub. Can't we put down a children's pool first, and maybe start there and then move to the hot tub?" I've read that five times, and it still doesn't make any sense.

Am I the only one that thinks Karl Dynamite looks like Waldo? Now that we've found Waldo, we should probably look for his cane, dog and the wizard.

Copygodd,
The way they determine a winner is that each week two teams are selected (by a winning team) to go into the quiz room the women must answer history, science, math type questions than the men have to answer pop culture questions. The team that scores lower goes home. At the end of the season there are two final teams who battle it out. Yes it is sad that I know this.
Last season opened with the men in one room and the women in another and alternated having a man go to the women to introduce himself then wait in the hall to see who chose him. Then one woman would go introduce herself to the men and hope someone would choose her. I liked that way better it was nice to see the women sweat over being chosen. This season the girls had too much power - and could that Sarah have been any more bitchy about the selection process?
I also liked last season's host better - whoever this new guy is - he is very close to being one of the geeks himself.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Chris' shirt. I'm guessing he made it himself. "I put the Stud in Study" hehehe
Does anyone else think Danielle is very close to not being cute at all? With the bags under her very bulging eyes and the nervous twitchy smile. I mean she photographs well but onscreen she's kinda icky. And Cher - went on and on about her hot body but it didn't seem that great to me.

I loved it when the girl screwed up rock/paper/scissors. I mean, even the super simpering brunette figured it out! That was just the best.
That Chris guy is a real dick. Ankur, too. Someone needs to tell him that his "interesting" Flyers logo beard is ridiculous and so very unattractive. And dare I say it? Makes him look DUMB.

Brandon is definitely a ringer. He's always the first person to speak up and volunteer.
