Ankur is totally frustrated watching Jennipher. "You find the purple hole, you find the purple plug, you put 'em together. This is like, common knowledge." Yeah, Ankur, and it's also common knowledge that you shouldn't shave the Philadelphia Flyers' logo into your beard either, but you don't see Jennipher getting all pissy about that, now do you. Meanwhile, Cher and Tristin are the first to get their computers powered up. Eventually, Cher pulls ahead and gets her CD to play first. Of course, the other girls are not happy. Josh, on the other hand, is ecstatic, telling Cher, "If you didn't hate my bed, I would jump on it with you. At that, Cher throws him a bone and starts to jump on the bed. Maybe it's not too late to make this a masturbation suite after all.
"I'd like to get off now, please."
Although Cher and Josh have won a challenge each week, it's Cher that's actually won them. And so, back at the house, she tells Josh she doesn't think he's trying hard enough. All the things she's trying to teach him, he's ignoring. He didn't karaoke right, he didn't use the right color schemes in his room. They talk about doing all these things, but Cher says he only does one each time. Lighten up, Francis. It sounds like you two are actually dating. Josh isn't too happy with the browbeating he just took: "We all came here to learn something. Cher needs to learn that she cannot keep treating people the way she's treating me." Tristin interrupts their spat to ask for the last name of that "carpenter Ty guy." Josh tells her it's Pennington, which of course makes Cher madder. "I've held my tongue many, many times," Josh tells us. (That, of course, is only one of the body parts he's held many times during his time in the house.) "I just think that she needs to be told off a bit." And while he isn't looking forward to it, Josh says he's going to have to be the one to tell her off. Other things he doesn't look forward to: more sausage parties with the other Geeks.
While trying to decide who to send to the Elimination Room, Cher says everyone likes Wes and Karl, so they can't send them, because then they'd be the ones "who killed the clown." Josh, however, disagrees: "Maybe the clowns have learned all they need to at clown college." Ooh, clown dis! Josh wants to get rid of Wes, because he doesn't think Wes needs to be there. Josh, have you actually talked to Wes? The dude tracks monkeys with lasers. Joe is worried that scheming to the last minute will backfire will backfire like Wes' REDRUM room, and wants to make a decision and stick to it. In the end, they decide to send Chris and Tristin and Thais and Tyson. Cher tries a bit of politicking and says it's only because they respect Thais and Tyson so much that they're sending them. Evidently, the political lessons haven't totally sunk in, though, as she also tells Chris and Tristin they were picked because she hates them both.
Tristin is upset to be sent to the Elimination Room for the second week in a row. Chris says Tristin took the news pretty well: "And by pretty well, I mean she didn't cry. Cuz she normally cries. She's a big crier. It's just a girl thing. So I was glad she didn't cry." Chris is also glad she didn't want to cuddle. Not really. He was totally hoping for a cuddle.
Tyson delivers an emotional goodbye to the other Geeks, in case he doesn't win. "I just wanted to let you know that it's been a pleasure meeting you all, and if I don't come back I want you to know it's been a great time here and I appreciate very much the genuine affection and fair play that we've all shown each other here. I have a tremendous respect for all of you guys." Geez, Tyson, you've got me crying on the inside. Where it counts.
Seriously, guys, girls RULE!
Time for the Elimination Chamber. (Cue ominous music.) This week, the Geeks will answer interior decorating questions, while the Beauties will have to answer computer questions. Prior to the start, Thais says she's confident, which of course means they're going to lose.

Wonderful recap, I love the RedRum reference, hilarious!
I loved Thais and Tyson, how sad that they're gone. Is being able to put a computer together seriously a geeky thing? I mean come on, you just have to match things up!

The host's eyes totally freak me out, as if he is always suprised about something. Prob. that he actually has employment.

Funny, funny recap! That picture of sweaty Joe is freaking nasty. *Oh and it was Tristin that said the line that beautiful men could be brought in while the Geeks are out.
I'm sad that Tyson is out, I didn't care much for his partner Thais. Tyson and his Rubik's cubes will be missed...

One more thing, that picture of the host IS very reminiscent of Clinton Kelly from What Not To Wear... The haircut... the blazer... the layers and the shirt. Wow. Damn, good call, copygodd!

I'd be surprised if Josh ever gets the balls to tell off Cher. And if he does, I'll be screaming at the top of my lungs and jumping up and down on MY bed.

As bad as the new host is, he is like a cool breeze on a hot day compared to Brian McFadden from last year.
I will miss Tyson and his cube!

I agree with scorpiella--at least this semi-lame-o host-type doesn't think he's famous or something.
Also, I used to like Tristin, but now I kind of feel like she and Chris deserve each other.
Dear Josh: Please tell Cher to stuff a sock in it already. I know this will result unpleasant personal consequences for you at first, but trust me--your fellow castmembers and the home viewing audience will be thankful. Sincerely, Dr. Grissom
(P.S. Please also remind her to wear underwear while rolling around in front of the camera. 'Cause she kinda freaks me out)

Copygodd, I too LURV that nextel commercial, it makes me laugh every single time.
I'm trying to figure out who Josh sounds like, is it Woody Allen?

Last weeks recap, wasn't really a recap . This week you complain that you don't get that channel well. Should someone who actually has cable, or at least rabbit ears, who does not live on a mountaintop review the show from now on? Just a suggestion.

thanks for the comments, all. and yes, pamsey, it is woody allen. too bad the producers didn't cast a young korean girl, or the sparks would really be flying.
in my defense, usnrnpage, had the owners of adelphia (my cable company) been more concerned with updating their technology than with raping the company and using it as their personal piggybank, i might get a better WB signal.
but that would leave me with one less thing to bitch about. and really, where's the fun in that? ;-)
REDRUM!

That Nextel ad is my favorite commercial on air right now. Love it.

I was hoping you included a screen cap of Tyson and Thais hugging - total boob grab!
The factoid next to Tyson's name should have flashed up as "Tyson, 21: Has felt up one girl."

I realize at this late date responding on here will likely go unread - however, I feel compelled.
I only just now got to watch this ep (I work for a CPA firm and it's Busy Season - that's my only excuse). Copygodd - I love you recaps of this show and always read them. Keep up the good work.
As for that Nextel commercial - I can never watch it just once - I always end up rewinding it and watching it 2 or 3 times. I am starting to have a crush on the dark haired guy -the way he dances just ... I dunno -totally gets me purrin.
