The Beauties are tested first. They'll be asked questions about gambling. Have you ever noticed how Host Mike Richards always looks surprised when any of the contestants gives the right answer? It's kind of funny, in a patronizing sort of way. Jennipher gets her first two questions right, while Danielle misses her first two, including what two numbers an Ace can represent in Blackjack. She guesses a two and a king. Ah well, at least she's still hot. Next up, Jennipher is asked which fraction has the best odds. Since we know Jennipher gave up on fractions back in the fourth grade, it's not surprising she misses this one. Danielle also misses her third question. Time for the Geeks. Ankur correctly guesses what the French abbreviation RSVP stands for, but misses how many drinks should be allocated per person for the first two hours of a party. Host Mike Richards says the answer is two. What?! I bet even Karl's D&D parties have more alcohol than that. Speaking of Karl, he knows what a rave is, and who SeanDiddyDaddyCombs is, but when Ankur knows the definition of an open bar, it's too little, too late for our favorite Dungeon Master. Jennipher and Ankur win.

BEAK! BEAK! BEAK!

We get a final sad little montage of Karl and Danielle's time in the house together, culminated by the most awkward exit interview of the season. These two were sitting so far apart I'm surprised they didn't have to letterbox the scene just to get them in-screen together. Karl tells us he can talk to any girl he has a crush on now, but he's still the same old Karl. "I'm still going to play Dungeons & Dragons with my buddies," he says, "but we're going to move it from Friday nights, maybe to Wednesday." I hope Karl has TiVo, because Lost is on Wednesday, and you just know he's a Lost geek on the magnitude of our very own EdHill.

So what did you think of this week's episode? Is Cher really as bad as the editors are making her out to be? Is Josh really as cool?

I don't know, for some reason I like Cher... maybe because she is such a biatch. But seriously, I think Danielle is the least pretty, so I was suprised to see her mentioned as being really hot a couple of times! Anyways, I love this show!

Danielle looked amazing when Karl was putting that necklace on her. I hadn't seen it before then, but that was stunning...

Ed Author Profile Page:

I totally got the vibe that Danielle threw the ace value question. The post-interview sealed it for me. She just wanted to be gone.

The hate for Cher is a red herring. She is hated because she is likely to win, not because she wants to. This is sooooo female biatchiness on display. Cher is hated for being good, not for wanting to be good - precisely as anyone aspires.

What I REALLY wanted to see was the guys' interaction the morning after Wes bagged Cher. I'm betting there was ultimate awkwardness mixed with unintentional hilarity. Instead, we ghot NUTHUN'.

These producers should see about getting hired for Big Brother - they'd be perfect. Pricks.

Good recap, copy.

"Because there's an AWESOME party going on in my pants right now, and I'm the only one here."

I nearly spit out my Coke whilst reading that tid bit. I haven't even gotten through the rest of the recap, but I must commend you on a brilliant start.:)

Wait.... Wes & Cher???!!!

Did they really hook up?

TinkerbellAPixie Author Profile Page:

Yes Mia - they really did.

Ash - I'm with you in thinking Danielle isn't that pretty. She's got major bags under her eyes, a weird smile and is dumb as a rock. I was sad to see them go tho because Karl was my favorite of all the geeks. He just seemed to have a sweetness about him.

Copygodd - great recap - especially loved the captions on the screenshots. Heheh Karl as Beaker - too cute.

Oops - one more thing, at first glance that first screen shot looked like Danielle had a nicotine patch on her arm. There's a marketing idea for the WB - logo'd nicotine patches.

i was never all that fond of danielle either, until this ep. like bigmax said, when karl was putting that necklace on her, yowza!

wes and cher really did the nasty. i had a grainy screen grab of it, but i thought the cat and dog shot did a better job telling the true story of their forbidden love.
