The Beauties are up first. Tristin answers all three of her questions correctly. Thais blows hard (heh) drive and Carbon Copy, but knows that Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft. At the end of Round One, it's Tristin and Chris 3, Thais and Tyson 1. For some reason, Host Mike Richards prefaces every Geek question with: "according to your materials" as if he's afraid the Geeks will find the Cliff Claven "Jeopardy" loophole. Tyson gets his first two questions right, making it 4-3. If Chris gets the next question right, they win. His question? Identify a picture of Ty Pennington, which of course he knows as Josh gave him the answer earlier in the day. That means Tyson and Thais were eliminated by Ty. Now that, Alanis, is ironic.
Finally, we get a sweet little montage of Thais and Tyson, talking about how the other has changed over their time in the house. Tyson says, "$250,000 is nice, but I'm going to leave here with a friend. And I think that ultimately that's my big prize." I don't know, Tyson. $250,000 can buy a lot of friends. Or at least a lot of happy endings.
So what did you think of this week's episode? Will the other teams finally wise up and stop sending Chris and Tristin to the Elimination Room? Should Josh punch Cher in the throat? Will you miss Tyson as much as I will?

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.
