I was so hoping Richard and Mindi (sorry Mindi!) would be the next to leave. Richard bugs me to no end--he's like that super annoying kid from Hebrew school. Ugh.

Oh I love this show, I have been telling EVERYONE I know to watch it.
Ok this is kinda cheesy but I actually feel good after watching this show, it's nice to see people learning and growing in a way that can help all of us be more tolerant.
I'm bummed about the eliminations cuz I like all the teams, I feel sorry for Richard, but it's really nothing a little adderall cant help.

Fab-u-lous! I don't know what was funnier--the whole cold sore-Katie Holmes connection or the fact that mid sentence an earthquake happening, and B-Side doesn't backdown! A stellar example of, "The show must go on!" Can't wait to hear the latest instal of, "The Cut."

Does anyone know whether Michael Jackson likes black or white cock?

Umm.. damn... okay... I'll do it: Gettin' my Geek on!

You're not using the term "Bottle Rocket" correctly. Bottle Rocket is idiomatic English for a type of firework - not a model rocket.

Bottle Rockets are small fireworks that look like a firecracker on the end of a red or green painted stick. The stick is approximately 10-12 inches long and the "rocket" (technically it's an engine, not a rocket) is approximately 2-3 inches in length. The rocket contains a propellant and an explosive. The propellant drives the firework (with attached stick) into the air and the explosive goes off, sending out a loud report and a shower of sparks, once the firework has (presumably) reached a certain altitude.

They're called "bottle rockets" because, despite the written warning on the fireworks that tells the user to "plant in ground" when setting them off, most users prefer to use a beer or soda bottle as the launching device. That's my preferred method -- sometimes when you place them in the ground you push them too far into the dirt and they don't fly, the stick gets stuck and they just burst on the ground. A bottle allows them to fly out unimpeded, while pointing vertically.

Model rockets, on the other hand, are completely different creatures. They're more or less meant to model actual rockets -- with fins and other rocket details. They're also reusable. They should have a recovery system, usually a parachute or other fall-limiting device that is deployed at the apogee of the rocket's flight that returns the rocket safely to earth.

One is for learnin', one is for fun.

Deciding which one is which is what separates the geeks from the boys.

Live long and prosper!

I used to wear 2 and 4. A 4 would be two sizes up from a 0, not four sizes.

Elvis, I definetly think you need to try out for this show after that last post.

Richard, I thought you were quirky, but yes, now you're just getting kinda annoying. And if a bunch of people tell you to shut up and knock off the dunce routine, take the hint and stop.

Caitilin, your ass looked great!!!! Don't worry about it. I only wish my ass looked like that.

Size ZERO!??!?!?!?! I still can't get over that this is an actual size. I would be happy to be a 4. Seriously, I was once & I thought I was fat. Now I would kill to go back to that.

That picture of Richard spooning in his tennis shoes reminds me so much of "Weird Science" when the mutants said to Anthony Michael Hall and the other guy -- "You two can't even shower with a beautiful woman without wearing your jeans". The whole show seems to have an element of Weird Science, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles and the rest of Anthony Michael Hall's career...

Yes, to further expound on Lady J's sizing explantion - clothes for girls/women come in two sets: junior sizes, which have less hip to them, are odd: 1, 3, 5. Misses sizes, which are made for a more curvy shape, are even: 2, 4, 6. Often clothes are sold as a mix of both: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6. I don't know what junior size goes along with 0; maybe -1? -1/0? So anyway, a 4 is indeed only two sizes up from a 0.

And that's about as much as I know about fashion!

Lola,

Don't forget there is a size 00 (double zero).

Who is the Miz?

Anyone notice that Brad's questions in te ELIMINATION ROOM were incredibly hard? "What upscale department store has the same name as that of a children's entertainment character?"

Are they joking? The "beauty" and a gay man in my living room couldn't answer that. Of course the answer is Barney's, but we listened to the question 3 times on the TiVo and still had no idea.

I think they had two questions on each card -- an easy one and a hard one -- so that the producers could keep Richard on.

I hate that guy. I think was in the same Hebrew class as Hillary.

The bikini bottom was sized too small, but Caitlin has a great body. I can't understand her self-consciousness. Us women can be so rediculous.

And I felt the earthquake yesterday too B-Side. My hi-rise office building swayed back and forth, it was crazy. 4 big quakes in 5 days—so bizarre. I haven't felt that many in 8 years living in California. Does that mean the big one's coming? Scary!!!

I just was really glad for Mindi that she was spooning him, not him spooning her. Yeah- he might be a nice guy, but thought of him rubbing up on anyone is enough to make my skin crawl. It was one of those TV moments when you feel your own face get red with embarassment for them.

The Miz & Lauren? Where's that post, B-side?!

The WB doesn't show the episode whenever I flip it on, unless it is the rerun :( I chose to tape the rerun and watch another show but it didn't tape the right thing. Iwish I had seen it because it sounded like a great episode. btw: who is that in the picture on the right at the top of the recap.

Elvis: read your post. All I'm thinking is: And you know this how?

Julie: I have no idea either. Please tell us.

I want to make a rocket like they made! Does anyone know where I can find out how to do one similar to the ones on the show?
I was gypped with the quake, was driving in my car and missed the whole thing. I did feel the one Saturday morning, though!

myself: "who is that in the picture on the right at the top of the screen" It was Caitlin right?

julie & tv freak -- The Miz is Mike from The Real World Back to NY. He's also on all the Real World / Road Rules Challenges.

I love this show...
On that note, I'm glad Brad is gone, he was way too good looking to be on the show. And I thought they did blood tests on people that go on these shows...maybe they assumed no one would be making out...but seriously, you put a bunch of sluts and guys together, something is bound to happen...

PS Just felt like sharing...the guy doing the makeovers next week is my boyfriend's hairstylist Arnil...I feel so special when I know people on TV

I still can't help but think Richard is an actor paid to be as whacky as he is. I mean sure he is a genuine geek - but I think he is paid to play it up.

Elvis - you're right about the bottle rockets....but you should know in Memphis we have "bottle rocket wars" where you hold on to the stick part and throw it after it's been lit. ah, good fun, good times....

I still think Richard has sensory issues. ADD MAYBE?

I actually go to school with Richard (well did, he just graduated) and he *really is* that geeky. I was in a class with him and he pulled insane stunts like he does on TV. He had a TV show on the school TV channel where he'd sort of play up his geeky-ness. I think he wants to be a comedian, so if it seems a little over-done, that's probably why. But, he is truly akward and his pants are always funny looking -- pooking out at his hips. I wonder if he pins them that way?

Anyone else think that Lauren sounds just like Tara Reid? Probably just as much of a party girl as well.

If Richard leaves the show, I will stop watching, he is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Lauren is deffinetly my favorite.. shes soo cute

This show is rigged. The Richard guy is an actor. Check this link out:

Obviously they make the annoying guy stay to the end...it makes you want to watch the show.

i think mindi is amazing. and richard is awesome... some of you guys are really insincere. shame.
