Back at the house, the Beauties lie around at the pool reading their studying materials and discussing who is going to look the best with their new makeover. Jennylee is excited to see what Nate looks like because she has developed a crush on him. I'm not sure how you can develop a crush on a guy that never wears deodorant, but I guess he's the best guy currently available. I guess she's attracted to his natural scent. Yum, body odor.
Next it's time for the haircutting/waxing/shaving makeover. And it's time for a montage. Say goodbye to Cro Magnon Nate. I'm going to miss him.
Back at the living room, the Geeks enter one by one to show off their new look to the women. Neils enters first, with yet another chorus of "you touch my tra la la, my ding ding dong" playing. This is really starting to creep me out. The girls however, go wild (as I'm sure they've done in the past, numerous times, and on camera). Neils tells us he looks like "a rock and roll peacock," and I'm not sure that's a good thing. Someone needs to remind Neils that he's wearing women's clothing. I only hope he isn't also wearing a bra.
Scooter enters next and he actually looks like a completely different person. Not bad Scooter, not bad. Drew comes in to yet another chorus of cheers followed by Mario. Mario doesn't look much different except he's not wearing his glasses and his hair is a little shorter. Matt comes in next and Andrea is all smiles.
Finally it's time for Nate and Jennylee can't wait. Hm, I recall predicting in episode one that Nate was going to get some loving after he cleaned himself up…Nate enters and looks like a completely different person. Ah, the wonders of evolution.
Mike tells the pairs that tomorrow that the women will be hosting a live charity auction with their partners up for bid, and whoever sells for the most money wins, giving the winning team the power to send two teams to the elimination room.
The teams get together and practice for the auction. Andrea attempts to get Matt to look like a normal person by showing him how to smile and look less like he's lost in a department store. Okay, I officially feel bad for Andrea. Everyone hates her and her teammate is a complete tool.
Megan makes up a bunch of notes about what to say about Scooter, none of which are true. "You have a great body, you're a great kisser, you like yachting." No, no, and no. She should try, "Scooter recently began looking like a human being," or "Scooter is a level 12 dungeon master."
Jennylee teaches Niels how to walk like a man, which is funny since he's dressed like a woman. Jennylee should have just given him a pair of heels and some makeup.
In one of the funnier moments of the season, Mario shows Nadia how he won't start pointing to the audience and how Drew is going to do that. And we cut immediately to Drew practicing his smooth pointing skills.
The next day, Nate asks Drew if he can borrow deodorant. You know those Miller Lite Man Law commercials? Here's one I propose: don't let your friends borrow roll-on deodorant. Gross. Drew however has no problems with this, and we witness Nate lose his deodorant virginity. And if things go right between him and Jennylee, we might witness him lose his real virginity as well. It could be a double whammy for Nate.
Cut to the bachelor auction, sponsored by DENTYNE. About 40 women sit in the audience, waiting for the auction to start, where these ladies came from, I have no idea. But I'm guessing a casting agency. Backstage, Nadia offers Mario some DENTYNE GUM, in what was not a staged moment whatsoever. That's DENTYNE. The best gum ever. DENTYNE.
Mario ends up being sold for a whopping $10. I sure hope this charity doesn't really need money. Scooter is the next Geek up for sale, and Megan tells the crowd that Scooter speaks "Russian, French, and a little dirty." Nice. Scooter sells for $15.
Up next is Andrea and Matt. Matt actually manages to smile and not look like that lost child. Andrea tells the crowd that Matt just graduated with a 4.7. A 4.7? Is that possible? Doesn't the scale stop at 4.0? Is Matt that big of a geek that he's literally off the charts? Andrea also mentions that Matt is a virgin, but really, can't that be said of all these Geeks? Matt also sells to some poor sucker for $15.

The "Ding Ding Dong" song is a fabulously horrible song by Gunter and the Sunshine Girls. There is really now way to explain it so here is the You Tube Link.

If that doesn't work....just search for "Ding Dong Song".

Thanks for the link Juxtapoeser. Dare I say that was the greatest music video of all time?

Awesome recap, but wat the hell, the hottest girl andrea is eliminated, and wat the hell was up with those trip questions. did u notice how none of the girls knew the answer to the first one and how the second question was tricky as hell. wow i got a pseduo-racist vibe how all the non-white, ethnic ppl were eliminated. that sucks but andrea is gorgeous and i wouldnt mind puttin my meat into her burrito.

I don't know if anyone reading this is also a Family Guy fan, but the questions Cecile got compared to the one's Andrea got remind me of when Brian and Peter played Trivial Pursuit. Brian got regular questions and Peter got questions from the kids edition. (Such as..."What color is a fire truck?")
Jennylee is awful on so many levels. The whole "I'm cooler than you" banter with Andrea was absolutely ridiculous. What a dumb bitch.

the only thing that makes me feel a little better about this episode is that the whole point of the show is for the contestants to grow as people.
obviously andrea has made some sort of transition between beauty and geek (remember when she almost took the money and ran) and maybe she doesn't need the show as much as someone like cecil, who from the previews of the next episode is in need of some inner geek.

I'm pretty sure that Nate's date wasn't taking about babies. He asked her what she did and she said that she wanted to be an actress. He said "A famous actress?" and she said yes, because she wants to be respected. Then she said something about how in auditions, even if you are more talented, they often pick the pretty girl for the part because she's pretty. To this, Nate then asked her what they measured that against, since he evidently found her quite attractive.
On the whole though, great recap!

Am I the only one who thought Drew looks like Jason Dohring (Logan) from Veronica Mars?
I totally agree with you Freedman StL, it was exactly like that family guy episode.

No, she was talking about babies. In trying to prove that people instinctively gravitate toward attractive people she brought up a study with babies where the babies preferred pretty girls.

Damn, damn, damn. Andrea should've b_tch-slapped Jennylee when she busted on her for stooping to the geeks' level and playing chess.
A little embarassed to admit this, but anyone else remember Jennylee from MTV's "Next"? She sucked on that show, too.

Doorsmats! Thank you!
I knew I had seen Jennylee before. I just couldn't figure out where it was. I'm so relieved to know now!

Scooter still looked the best after the makeovers. If only he can get through his lack of social skills, I'd say he gets laid first.
It's nice to see that the geeks are playing to win as far as putting up the strongest teams for elimination instead of pussying out. Hopefully nest week, Nate will stand up to CeCe and tell her to quit being such a bitch.

Did anyone else think the auction was unfair? The guys who were auctioned off later sold for much higher dollar amounts and the guys who went first were sold for much smaller amounts of money. I think the early guys were at a disadvantage because most of the girls were probably waiting to see if someone "better" would come up later on. If all the guys had been introduced first, with the bidding happening after the girls saw all the guys, it might have been more fair. The challenge was also not a very good test of the beauties' marketing skills. Unless it was edited out, I don't think most of them had much to say about their Geeks.

Concerning Matt's GPA, he went to MIT. They measure their GPA on a 5.0 scale. So he's actually about an A- MIT student.
And yes, Drew totally looks like Logan!
