Handsome Host introduces the judges and ends with, "They will decide which among you is the master debater." I wonder how many takes that line required. Up first is Rebecca and Jasmine, or as I like to call her, Squeaky. She gets a little case of stage fright and explains her fears: "There was like, judges and everything, and I was like, there's a real debate thing happening!" I know, it's so surprising sometimes when the event that people told you was going to happen actually happens!
Next up, Erin and Amanda debate whether marijuana should be legalized, and somewhere out in the expanse of time and space I heard Flipit's voice crying out, "SAY YES! YESSSSS!" Erin rationalizes that 30 million people have smoked marijuana and none of them died, so of COURSE we should legalize it! Amanda counters with, "Drug dealers make a living selling it, so if we legalize it, they won't have a source of income." So are you for or against it? Then we have Hollie and some other ho, and Hollie says she's totally in favor of drilling for oil in the Arctic, because cars can't run on "canola oil or whatever those hippies think we can run cars on." Hey thanks, Al Gore.
Lastly we have Sam vs. Chez in the dispute over whether the drinking age should be lowered. Hunky poses and charms his way through this one, flexing a bicep each time he feels himself not making sense anymore. And you know, there's nothing that lends credence to your argument like using "party" as a verb. Chez surprisingly comes back with some strong statistics about the effects of lowering the blah blah blah, but, in an even more shocking turn of events, Hunky COUNTER-counters her case by calling out the loopholes in her evidence. Oh snap!
Do you think he waxes his chest hair AND his eyebrows?
Despite his lack of chest hair, Sam wins and is now crowned lawyer of the year! Oh wait. Maybe not. But he and Nicole do get to choose one team to go to the elimination round, as does Will and his partner. Back at the house, the two teams discuss with one another who should be sent to the plank, and in a bid to find out if their heads are on the chopping block, Jasmine and Natalie tiptoe around trying to eavesdrop. Literally. Tiptoe.
Literally.
The contestants get all gussied up in their Sunday best for the elimination round, and Jasmine even wears her crown. The LARPer wears his cape, and explains that he found it only fitting to wear his formal dress for such an occasion. Upon hearing this, Geekgirl chuckles loudly. Do I smell a potential love connection? The two teams up for elimination are Tony & Amanda and John & Natalie. As they prepare for their imminent reality TV deaths, Tony uses this opportunity to finally open up to Amanda. Confession time!
"Um, does this end in a Fendi bag or not?"
He cries and admits that he feels he let her down. Awww. Poor kid. He really is sweet. She says that she just wishes he could come out of his shell a little more. Okay, I guess she's not totally a cold beautiful bitch. He says he is doing this for Amanda now. "Everything I do, I do it for her." Oh NO! He's already in love with her and quoting Bryan Adams songs?!?!?
Quiz time! The first question has to do with how many stars are on the American flag. Well, since it's only the first elimination round it makes sense that the questions would be relatively easy. "Ummmmmmm," Natalie stammers. "Stars???" Yes, stars, you know, like on the American flag? She gets it wrong. Amanda is asked to name some presidents, but none can be Bush. Good thing Squeaky didn't get picked for this level! Amanda gets it wrong. On her next turn, she's asked what OPEC stands for, and even I have no clue. Natalie is the only one who gets an answer right, so when the boys come out it's pretty much anyone's game. Hopefully one of these nerds can drop some serious hip-hop knowledge. After some questions regarding 50 Cent and his number of street wounds and Vanilla Ice's sexual history (*shudder*), Long Duck Dong comes out the loozah.
"What is, 'The RZA, The GZA'?"
Amanda says that from this experience she learns she needs to trust herself more.
Yeah, and perhaps read a book now and then.

from wikipedia:
"This season's male beauty, though listed in his site bio as being a party promoter, is actor Sam Horrigan of Disney's Brink! fame. He has also played small roles in Veronica Mars, Desperate Housewives, and 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter."
I actually think a whole show of beauty males and geeky girls would be interesting.

I don't think a season with hot guys and geeky girls could ever work, unfortunately. The reason it works with hot girls is that their compassionate, nurturing side kicks in so they want to help each other and actually care about the guys -- I don't see that happening on the flip side. maybe it's just me but I don't see it.
Also, dude needs to calm down with those eyebrows ASAP. They're frighteningly pointy. And Jasmine, while dumb, is not exactly a beauty in my opinion. Kinda busted, no?

The 2nd caption definitely disses the Fresh Prince. The lyric is "Yo homes, to Bel-Air!". Wack.

An interesting tidbit...my english teacher's son is best friends with the geek John (Juggler extraordinaire). John was not allowed to reveal the results of the show, of corse, but said he was "very pleased" with the outcome. He was also apparently the president of a frat over at MIT where there was much drinking and partying. I think John and Natalie are going to be a team to watch out for.
