Before I go into this week's recap of Beauty and the Geek, I would like to apologize to all of the Pet Shop Boys fans who read these recaps.  I had no idea that the theme song to Beauty and the Geek was an original song from the 80's.  Please forgive me for not being a Pet Shop Boys Fan.  I will do my best to never make an egregious error like this again.  Thank you.

Last week on Beauty and the Geek, the Geeks drew a naked woman, the Beauties gave some of the worst museum tours of all time, and in the end, Sheree's forehead and Paio were sent packing.

And we open with Matt and Andrea's triumphant return upstairs.  Matt enters alone to a chorus of cheers because Andrea is highly disliked by all the remaining girls.  Why?  Because she doesn't have blonde hair of course.  Also, because she might not be a complete dumbass.  Beauties can be so catty.  Andrea enters the room after Matt and the room goes dead silent.  Poor Andrea.  I'm almost starting to feel bad for her.

The next morning everyone meets in the living room where our host Mike tells the Geeks that they're going to be getting…a makeover!  Hooray!  The ladies on the meantime, will be studying marketing and business…hooray?  For these makeovers, the Geeks will be shopping all by themselves with only the tips they've been given by their partners beforehand.  This could get messy.

Nate is worried because he says he takes pride in how he doesn't conform to society's standards.  And he's right because after all, he does look like Homo Erectus. 

Upstairs, the Beauties attempt to give their Geeks tips on what to buy.  Drew wants to buy a watch with a calculator on it.  I used to have one of those.  When I was 11.  Jennylee tells Neils all the things that are "hot," while Neils is more concerned about buying alligator skin shoes with flames on them.  Now I'm not a fashion expert or anything, but those sound freaking awesome.

In probably the worst moment of the episode, Nate asks Cecille if he can wear anything that will make him sweat less, to which she suggests deodorant.  Nate then informs her, and the entire viewing audience, that he has never worn deodorant before and that he likes to go "au natural."  Cecille tells us she has no idea what that means, which is not at all surprising.  I'm still pretty convinced that if you gave Cecille a picture of a dog and a picture of the number ten and asked her to point to the number, her head would explode.

Soon, the Geeks are off to buy new clothes.  Matt stumbles around for a while with his usual Matt face, you know, the one where his jaw is attached to the floor.  Matt is starting to remind me of one of those dumb nerds from high school.  Dumb nerds were a lot like regular nerds, except they got bad grades and were just, well, kinda stupid.  Real nerds don't walk around everywhere with blank looks on their faces like Matt does.

We are then subjected to a montage of Neils trying on jeans with very bizarre music playing on the soundtrack that goes "oh you touch my tra la la, my ding ding dong."  Is this also a Pet Shop Boys song?  Because it also sucks.  And is kind of creepy.  Neils apparently can't find tight enough clothing so he decides to start looking for shirts in the women's section.  I can't stress enough how much of a bad idea this is.  So in three episodes, so far we know that Neils a) loves boobs and b) wears women's clothes.  I'm doing my best to pull for Neils since he is from the same city as me, but dammit, this guy needs help.  He ends up picking out this women's shirt with a fish on it that screams "I am a cross-dressing homosexual."  Neils tells us the look he was going for was "the coolest guy in the club," but to me he looks more like "that weird guy in the corner wearing women's clothing."  Not quite the same thing.  And again we get the weird "tra la la" song. 

Meanwhile, Mario struggles to find plus-sized clothing that will fit him.  Aw.
