Meanwhile, Jennipher's had it with Ankur's anti-conformist attitude (he doesn't like shopping, because it's done purely to conform), and decides to get him good. And by good, she means yanking out every unkempt strand of hair on his body. Starting with the unibrow. "I don't want his eyebrows to look too feminine," she tells the waxer. "Leave a little bush to it." Great, now Ankur's going to have a landing strip across his forehead.
Over the next few minutes we're treated to a lot of shots of the Geeks getting made over. Josh is practically orgasmic while getting his sideburns shaved. And Ankur tells us there isn't an inch on his body that couldn't be waxed. Yeah, thanks for sharing.
Back at the house, it's time for the big reveal. Being a guy, it's genetically impossible for me to tell is any of the Geeks are now good looking, but I'm pretty sure they're all better than when they started. Josh certainly thinks so, as he tells us he looks so good he'd hook up with himself. Like that hasn't already happened at least three times today alone. The girls all think Wes is the best looking of the bunch. I'll let you decide from the "Before" and "After" shots.
The next day, everyone's off to the Geisha House for this week's challenge: Speed Dating! The Geeks have to go on five-minute dates with three different women. The women will then rate their performances, and the Geek with the best score wins. First up are Wes, Josh and Ankur. The Beauties will be watching their Geeks on closed circuit TV downstairs and can hear everything they say. Before the dates start, the Beauties are allowed to give their Geeks one last bit of advice. For Wes, Sarah tells him not to talk about tracking monkeys with lasers. Cher tells Josh to lay off the mannerisms. And Jennipher tells Ankur not to eat the nuts, because they might "hinder his breath". Of course, being the anti-conformist that he is, as soon as she walks away Ankur eats a nut. Breath, and Jennipher by extension, you have been hindered!
A few highlights from this round: Josh tells his date that life is like Vaseline, in that it can molded in so many different ways. I would've said that Vaseline just makes it easier for life to fuck you in the ass, but then I'm a bitter old soul. Ankur's first date doesn't like robots; she's afraid they're going to take over the world, like in that one robot movie. Ankur, of course, is stunned, as he builds robots for a living. See, this is why he only hangs out with nerds. Wes tries his best, and is actually pretty charming, but then he's asked what he does for a living. At first, he tells his date he's a programmer. But he just can't seem to stop himself. Sarah is begging him, "do not mention the monkeys. Do not mention the monkeys." Of course, Wes mentions the monkeys.
"Pull my finger!"
The next group is Karl, Chris and Joe. Before their dates start, Tristin tells Chris to compliment the women, but don't over-compliment. Danielle tells Karl to make eye contact, and don't get too nervous. Finally, Brittany tells Joe to look interested, and let them talk about themselves. Are you taking notes, EdHill?
A few highlights from this round: Chris tells his first date he took a class on prostitution, and shows her his authentic Geisha wallet, made from real Geisha skin! Karl's date says he has an indy-rock-esque edge to him. Let's hear it for Death Kab for Karl! Joe's date has a sister in Chicago, which is where Joe lives, so he tells his date if her sister wants someone to hang out with, let him know. Unfortunately for Joe, the sister is pregnant with her second child. So not only did Joe just hit on his speed date's sister, he hit on his speed date's pregnant sister. And yet, he still does better than Chris, who tells another date he just graduated with a triple degree: Psychology, History and a Master's in Bowhunting. He also says he's looking for a job putting stickers on fruit. Ladies, I can't believe this guy is still available.
Meow!
Chris' final date asks if he likes his Beauty. Oh no, this can't be good. "Not really," he says. "It's great to be able to talk to a smart girl every once in a while." Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark. Needless to say, Tristin has a major conniption downstairs.

Even if you don't like doing the recaps for this show, they are great. I honestly love this show, and enjoyed seeing the boys after their makeovers! And who knows why, but I really like Cher, even though everyone else hates her!

I think the question was about topics not to discuss on a first date....maybe sex? Chris looked the best, but he clearly looked the best from the beginning, too, so I'm not sure he had the best "net gain".

It sucks that Chris & Tristin were eliminated. Last week it was dear Tyson and now Chris. I didn't like Chris but he added to the show and always said something that was so out there I couldn't help but laugh at him. Oh and you didn't mention when Chris asked if he could compliment her cleavage and Tristin, who was showing some boobage, was like 'uhhhhh, NOOO!'. Anyways, good recap, copygodd... and yeah the show was a little boring this week. I still enjoyed though. :)

-juxtapoeser;
The previews for next week showed Wes and Cher getting close and sleeping/making out together so maybe it worked out off the show for the 2 of them. :)

So Chris' major is Psychology? Then where does he get off telling Josh and Tristin they're dumb because they're Psych majors??

#8 - I have a DVR and it tends to cut off at the end too - darn it - so I missed the shot of Cher cuddling Wes. Frankly I'd cuddle him, and this might make me a nerd but I think tracking monkeys with lasers sounds kinda cool.
Copygodd, great recap - as always!
"Josh certainly thinks so, as he tells us he looks so good he'd hook up with himself. Like that hasn't already happened at least three times today alone. " Um... I dated a guy once, I think many would call him a geek, I was his first gf and it turned out he didn't hook up with himself at all....EVER. SO maybe Josh doesn't either.
I finally figured out who the host looks like - he's what you would get if you mated Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell with Joxser from Xena: Warrior Princess.

Yes, very boring. Most of the makeovers weren't even exciting. Did anyone else think Josh lost his mojo when they cut all his hair off?
*yawn* Wake me when Cher and Wes hook up.

I discovered this show by flipping around during the none too spectacular halftime show during the Super Bowl, I only saw the introductions but the simple fact that one of the girls was confused when rock didn't crush paper, meant I had to check the recaps here. I think they are hilarious. I'm not sure if I could ever make time to watch an actual expisode (since I don't even know when it's on) but I'll have to read the recaps for at least this season.

come on, copygodd, didn't you watch the show? clearly the fourth thing you can't talk about on a date is tracking monkeys with lasers. although i disagree, nothing is better than monkeys, especially when the monkey is making out with a cat:

Although I'm delighted that Chris is gone (at least he has his enormous ego to keep him warm), Tristin got an overall raw deal on the show, thanks to Chris. First, she got ripped from probably one of the best guys in the house (thanks, Chris). Then, she got paired with the Almighty Dickhead Himself (thanks, Chris). She was trapped into fighting to save him in order to save herself. Hopefully, Cher will be the next in the houseguests' cross-hairs.

I hate to defend Chris - but I think in his own awkward way he never really meant to be a jerk - just didn't possess any social graces whatsoever.

I'd talk about monkeys with Wes, but I KNOW monkeys. Monkeys rule!
He was a definite hottie after his makeover though, and he had some game too.

The fourth thing is money. You should never discuss anything financially related during a date.

money makes sense, but unless you're dating jane goodall, i'm gonna stick with monkeys as topic non grata.

i went to high school with wes. they are loosely using the term "geek." he dated a cheerleader w/a smokin' bod and an insatiable appetite for sex. he's no richard "the virgin kisser" from last season.

I think I spotted Wes on the scenes for an upcoming episode of Elimidate. Anyone else see that?
Oh btw, copygodd - I just love all your t-shirt ideas. You put the hum in humorous.

You forgot the best part! When Chris was asked the question about the Italian lover, Tristin was whispering, "He's not going to know this. It's Don Juan de Marco." Of course, the answer was Casanova. And I'm pretty sure it would be Don Juan, and that the "de Marco" was just added for the Johnny Depp movie. What an idiot.
