One of the great things about living in Colorado Springs is that I'm close to some of the world's best skiing: Copper, Breckenridge, Keystone, Loveland; all are within a two-and-a-half hour drive from my house, depending on traffic. One of the not-so-great things about living here (besides Focus on the Family) is that as a second-tier city, we don't have a local WB affiliate. Instead, our cable company picks up Denver's WB station and rebroadcasts certain programs on one of our public access channels. Usually this works fine, but last Thursday we had a big snowstorm which totally messed up the new episode of Beauty and The Geek. The video kept dropping in and out, and the audio was mostly non-existent, so even when I did get a picture, I didn't get enough sound to do a proper recap.

Here's what I do know: The Geeks had to perform a karaoke version of Foreigner's Hot Blooded. The Beauties had to give a speech on politics. Tyson's Rubik's Cube solo helped win the karaoke contest; Cher's dead grandmother helped her win the speech part. Chris and Tristin went to the Elimination Chamber against Brandon and Amanda. Chris and Tristin won. Oh, and Cher evidently goes commando.

Here's what I don't know: the appeal of going commando. (For a guy, at least.)

And here, in no particular order, are some screen-grabs with silly captions.
