Both teams make it to the mansion within a few seconds of each other, but Josh and Cher win a foot race to the finish line. To celebrate, Josh follows Cher's treasure trail on a little scavenger hunt of his own. At least that's what it looked like, until Cher tossed him off her. (Hehheh, I said Cher "tossed him off.") That means Cher and Josh are guaranteed a spot in the finals, and Joe and Brittany will have to face Jennifer and Ankur in the Elimination Room. Host Mike Richards takes his leave, telling the two teams to break the news to Jennipher and Ankur should they ever make it back.
You're gonna need to put some ice on that.
Speaking of Jennipher and Ankur, they still haven't even found their first store. Jennipher is stammering so much she sounds like Bill Cosby. Maybe they should have her try to find some pudding pops. At the mansion, Brittany's worried about them because it's dark out and she doesn’t know how Jennipher will be able to look at the maps in the dark. Eventually, they finish the task and make it back to the mansion, so I guess Jennipher deserves props for not giving up. Well, maybe just one prop. After all, she still can't spell her name.
Since there's a chance she'll be going home after the next Elimination Room, Jennipher decides to take advantage of what might be her last opportunity to confront Cher about her attitude toward Ashton Kutcher's great social experiment. (And I'm not talking about his marriage to Demi.) While Cher admits she came into the house for the wrong reasons, her time in the house has taught her something, and now she really wants to win for the right reasons. I'm not buying it.
Some captions just write themselves.
While picking out what to wear for the Elimination Chamber, Jennipher tells Ankur the blue vest he's selected makes him look like he works at a gas station. I think it looks more like a Wal-Mart vest, so let's split the difference and say he looks like he pumps gas at Sam's Club. Jennipher says she feels she has to do well in the Elimination Room to make up for how poorly she did in the map challenge. But since Brittany and Joe have never been in the Elimination Room, maybe they have can use their experience to pull out a victory. Then again, maybe not, as Jennipher doesn't know the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. She also thinks that GPS stands for Ground Patrol System. So much for doing well. Especially since Brittany gets all three of her questions right, putting them behind 3-1.
Commercial break: Can anyone explain this to me?
Geeks' turn. Joe misses his first question about Naked-Lady-on-a-Horse chocolates. Ankur gets his first question right. Next, Joe is asked what gift you should buy for someone's 25th anniversary. Silver is his correct answer. And here I thought it was oral pleasure. Or maybe blueberry pancakes? I'm always getting those two confused. Then, despite saying there's no amount of reasoning that can help him guess what color diamond Ben Affleck bought for Jennifer Garner, Ankur reasons his way to the correct answer. (Pink, if anyone cares. I know I don't.) If Joe gets the next question right, he and Brittany win. He picks question two, because Brittany's birthday is the 2nd. Across the hall, Brittany wonders why Joe comes up with such cheesy reasons. Mabye Brittany should quit her bellyaching, as Joe's stategy pays off with a question he can answer: the four qualities diamonds are judged by (cut, clarity, carat and color). That means he and Brittany win, and get to face Cher and Josh next week in the finals.
And just as every episode does, this one ends with a silly little montage of Jennipher and Ankur's time together in the house. The only interesting thing is when Ankur says his time in the house has taught him that everyone provides their own value to society. Everyone Host Mike Richards, of course. Ankur hates that little bitch.
So, is it just me or was this week's episode really lame? And who do you think will win next week?

It wasn't just you, copygodd: this episode was pretty boring. And the pink diamond Ben Affleck bought was for Jennifer Lopez, not Garner but whatever, can't always keep track :) Oh and funny you noticed Brittany doesn't like being touched by Joe, haha. She always looks back on his hand or makes a scared face when he's approaching her.

i loved when Jennipher said "so many pages! so many pages".
even though she was a total tool on this challenge I had to laugh at how nonchalant she was about it.
and props to Ankur for not hitting her over the head with the thomas guide!

So everything Joe did was because of Brittney's birthday or it was Brittney's lucky number. No wonder he pulled a Greg Brady on her in the car. I was wondering if he'd follow up to the modeling shoot when he wanted her dress to fly up.

I seems as if Josh and Cher are the clear front-runners, but I hope that Brittany and Joe make it a close final. At least we know that Cher still has Wes, so if her diatribe about being in the house for the "right reasons" now is true she should be happy with him and not need the money so much.

I especially enjoyed the blueberry pancakes vs. oral pleasure debate. Both have their merits... :)
I need to know, and B-Side hasn't answered me - someone here had to have gone to Dartmouth b/c it is just randomly on the links page. 'Fess up. I know some peeps from there and got all excited that I actually know people. Unfortunately, they were all members of the Dungeons and Dragons club that met every Sat. nite, so....
Kidding. And I promise this is not a ploy to find out your "real" identities. B/c frankly, as long as you continue to make me laugh, you could be Starr Jones for all I care. Or Danny from Real World Austin...same level of repugnance. : )

It looks like this season is 'repeating' the last one. Last season, Richard & Mindy kept being sent to the elimination room and would come back and made it to the finals but then lost to Caitilin and i forget his name. And Josh is definitely this season's Richard so maybe him & Cher will lose. But what do I know, gotta wait for the finale. :)

ra -
Yes, more than one TVgasm went to Dartmouth. Personally, I stayed a couple nights in Hanover while hiking the AT a few years ago and had a great time.

Sg-dub,
I knew it! What a super sleuth I am. Haha.
I know a ton of '00s and '01s from Dartmouth, mostly track people, but a few football players. I am a HUGE fan of Dartmouth pong and even have my own paddle!
Copygodd - good ole PSU here.
