Up next is Drew. Drew speaks English, Spanish, and Klingon. He can also kill you with the Vulcan Death Grip. A bidding war begins, and Drew sells for $22. Nate is on stage next and begins, um, dancing? It looks more like a full body dry heave. Nate manages to get sold for $29, to what looks like a prostitute sitting in the back.
Next up is Neils, and AGAIN WE HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS WEIRD "YOU TOUCH MY TRA LA LA" SONG! This is really, really freaking me out. Another bidding war begins and Neils sells for $32 to what looks like a squirrel. And Neils and Jennylee are the winners!
Next it's time for another montage of the Geeks on their dates with the "winning" bidders. Drew's date asks him what kind of movies he likes and Drew struggles to not start talking about Star Trek. Herein lies my biggest problem with this show. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for him to start talking about Star Trek. It's like they're being taught that it's not at all okay to be themselves. Sure Star Trek is geeky, but if you like it you shouldn't be ashamed to admit it. Anyway, I'm stepping back off the soapbox now.
Most of the dates seem to actually go alright. Nate's date who looks like a prostitute freaks me out a little bit though, as does the squirrel that Niels is out with. The prostitute mentions some study about how babies are attracted to pretty girls and Nate asks how they measure that. With a babometer, duh. On the way out, Neils' squirrel says the need to exchange emails. The way he's dressed, they could exchange shirts as well. Someone really needed to tell Niels that he bought himself a babydoll tee and he looks like a child molester when he is wearing it.
Back at the house, the Beauties are anxious for their Geeks to return. Upon their return, Cecille sadly says "You guys aren't geeks anymore." Yes they are Cecille, and you are still a dingbat. Jennylee and Neils spend some time discussing who to send in to the Elimination Room, and she gets really upset when Neils suggests sending in Nate. She bitches and moans for a while in an attempt to get Neils to feel like an asshole. Will he pull a Mario and relent?
Back on the staircase it's time to find out. Jennylee makes her speech about "how this is so hard," blah blah blah, and says she's putting in, surprise of all surprises, Andrea and Matt. Next, Neils makes his little speech about how sad he is to send in this team, and he actually begins crying. Neils – he loves boobs, he wears women's clothing, and he cries. Oh, and he also sticks to his guns and announces he's sending in Cecille and Nate. At least he's done something right.
Upstairs, Andrea and Jennylee get into an argument. Andrea says that even if she leaves, the other girls should try to get to know their guys a little better and worry less about running around the house being all "oh my gosh, oh my gosh." Jennylee replies, "don't tell me I'm running around the house going oh my gosh when you're sitting around playing chess like a geek." Wow. The stupidest thing said so far this season, ladies and gentlemen. Isn't that the "point" of this show? I'm surprised Andrea didn't punch her in the face right then and there.
And it's time for the Elimination Room, where the ladies will be answering questions first about business and marketing. Shockingly, Andrea gets BOTH of her questions wrong. This is not looking good. Even more shockingly, Cecille gets BOTH of her questions right. How did this happen? It all ends when Nate, decked out in a doo-rag (not a good look for him by the way) is correctly able to identify Jay-Z, sending Andrea and Matt home.
And I'm bummed. Even though Matt was useless, Andrea seemed like she was actually the only Beauty who was a part of this show for the right reasons. It seemed like in just a matter of days she actually changed a lot, and it's too bad she got eliminated so early.
So what did you guys think? How much longer will it take before Jennylee jumps Nate? Will Scooter also get some loving now that he looks like a normal person? And did Andrea totally get shafted or what?

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!
