Gaysian in "Beauty and the Geek"

I haven't covered this season that much or seen much of it, but Greg, the self-proclaimed 'Gaysian' pretty much broke the traditionally straight, autistic-in-one-area geek mold (Asian Week). He may be gay, which many consider 'cool' but there are a lot of gay geeks out there. some that don't know what to do what to do. Greg admitted in the beginning that he never felt part of the crowd and now with the geeks, he didn't feel like he fit in. That "I feel like I don’t fit in with anyone … like I’m not geeky enough to be a geek or like all the other geeks are so smart, and I’m like the artistic gay guy.” Now that it has gotten to the makeover episode, the other geeks are comfortable with Greg and call him "Greggie" like the Beauties. I do feel for Greg that he doesn't have a forbearer or an instructor, much like many gay teenagers feel when they come out. Luckily he has his Beauty Randi who brings up his confidence. When there was only 2 African-American Beauties this year and only 1 last time, I don't think there will be more than 1 gay Geek next time or even another one. I think there should at least be 2 and 1 bisexual geek. I don't doubt there were bisexual geeks before, but probably they didn't have enough confidence or sexual experience to admit it. By the by, I can't stand squeaky-voice Cara.

Greg and Randi had to make a little play for The Young and the Restless and it was prom-related. He 'came out' and she slapped him, which was out of the script. He didn't expect it and he was shocked and it amused her and she started smiled. It got the judges from the show laughing. The other plays were funny and cute too. the later ones actually looked like it was from the soap. And they rubbed in cliches from soaps smartly like "Abducted by pirates." To make the episode even gayer, the elimination came to four geeks to dress in drag (of course Scissor Sisters had to be played) and the worst one would be to be eliminated. one of the geeks--Tommy brought one of the African-American beauties as impression. And Joe was picked to be eliminated, his Beauty was understandably upset because the girls ganged up on them.

Beauty and The Geek Season 4 Finale Review

I think the reason Sam won so many challenges is obvious. I think it is unfair to say it is because he is a man. But he is much more braver and outrageous and physically inept to the beauty girls, who were the quintessential stereotypes. Acting meek and not so courageous. Some challenges were more physical than previous seasons. Like the Aztec temple one and the one with the snakes and such.

You could tell that Rebbecca digs Sam way more than he does. I am not saying that he is not interested her but she was all over him and he is aloof. Rebbecca is one smart cookie too. It was hilarious when Will called Nicole's tactics to 'play' Sam, Will, and Rebbecca. That was hysterical. I loved when they spill those beans in the show, awesome.

I am glad they didn't focus that much on the drama between William and Jen. They did lightly touch on it. Because it was done to death. Luke was so cute when he said he was getting 3 to 4 dates a week. No surprise to Josh's transformation and girlfriend. It was funny he was shy to take off his shirt and asked Sam how he does it. You know, I found Jasmine annoying before but now, she is endearing.

I voted for Dave and Jasmine.

It is not that Sam and Nicole didn't transform, but they shouldn't have won just for being the first team. Dave and Jasmine really turned around and deserved it. They were the underdogs.

Beauty and the Geek Season 4 Ep 6 Review

The kids were lucky to go to Comic Con and some of the beauties didn't appreciate it, it was kind of wasted on them. As usual, I did not like Sam's superior attitude about comic books not being important. The challenge was for the beauties to come up with their own superheroes and for the geeks to make outfits for the beauties. Bad idea with the sewing. For some reason, Sam won. He looked like a WWE wrestler and even the judges said, "You look like the guy that used to beat me up." I actually liked the aqua hero Erin and Jesse did. I hated that Sam and Nicole picked Jesse and Erin to the elimination round. They were chosen before and they weren't as bad as others. I think William and his chick should have been sent. In the elimination round, I was interesting to watch the girls struggling with the comic book stuff. They questions were easy, regular stuff. The locomotive part of Superman is very well known. It was even more funny how the ladies didn't even know the fashion questions. It did suck that Erin and Jesse were sent home.

Yeah, I didn't like that Sam won, Nicole took the easy way out by not sewing and just sticking tape with shorts. As for the rest of the episode, Jen and William kept fighting and it seems their fightng reaches the boiling point in the next episode. I found it strange that David could not sew, I thought he was a role playing geek. Well, I guess that would mean he could sew.

Beauty and the Geek Season 4 Ep 4 Review

On tonight's show, Jesse and his beauty where looking for revenge on Rebecca and Will for sending them to the elimination room last week. Also, tensions became high with Sam and Nicole when Sam and Rebecca were getting intimate on the top bunk above Nicole. Same admitted he was thinking with his dick, when Nicole left the room and went to sleep in the living room. Nicole was concerned about how her friends and professors would think about her when they would see losing her composer. As for Will, everyone wants him out of the house, except for one of the Geeks. Even Nicole was talking to Luke about Will's reign. The Geek challenge... it was up between Will and Jesse and everyone was afraid Will was going to win yet again and Jesse won. Rebecca then knew for sure that Jesse was going to kick her out. Then Sam won the Beauty challenge.

Sam didn't know who to get rid of. Sam didn't want Rebecca gone, so he wanted someone that could she could beat. A different side of Nicole was seen when she suggested a team to Sam that she thought could actually take Rebecca and Will home. Jen and William went against Rebecca and Will in the elimination room. Rebecca felt that Jesse and his girl were seeking revenge. She started crying when few people were helping her and almost everyone was helping Jen and William. I'll tell you the truth, usual with these super beauties, I think they are lame dumb bitches. Stuck up and full of shit and don't want to admit they are smart and try. But I actually fell for Rebecca. I actually think Rebecca is smart and actually cares for Sam and is aware that he is a bit of distraction. She also has no problem being close to Will, who is hat and sweaty. I personally know stuck up nerds and know what the gang is talking about when they say Will is one, but I don't think so much. I see that aspect in him but I don't see that completely. Will seems to have a good head in his shoulders to not be jealous about Rebecca and Sam together. He is so smart to think that Sam didn't set them up.

Rebecca was very stressed to win the contest, I think if Will and Rebecca won two challenges, then they did complete their mission but I think Rebecca wanted to stay because of Sam. Rebecca actually wondered if Sam set her up and didn't expect Nicole. Well, maybe she did but the show didn't show it to us. I liked it when Jen told William to not cocky i thinking they were the new Alpha Team. Rebecca and Will were definitely the Alpha Team. It will be interesting to see who will take the reign or if it ever will like Season 2.

Beauty and the Geek Season 4 Ep 3 Review

Tonight, the challenge for the Beauties was spotting out organs on human bodies and for the Geeks, making a romantic basket. The power couple Will and Rebecca win both challenges, while Rebecca starts a making out/hanging out thing with Sam. The others believe Rebecca is becoming distracted with Sam and others feel Will is abusing his power. Rebecca proved she was smart when it came to her challenge and her choices to eliminate. She was also very astute when it came to admitting that she was distracted. Sam was cocky in thinking Rebecca wouldn't eliminate him.

I love Hollie, she is the best. Not because she is nerdy but she is so smart and witty. Hollie is so smart, in the IQ test in the first episode, she was impressive. When the girls are talking about Rebecca and Sam being together, one girl said Rebecca must be hearing the sound of little birds and then Hollie said "The sound of condoms are breaking off for Sam." After Rebecca picks her to the elimination round, Hollie said how Rebecca was more concerned with making out with Sam, that jests, "I should have been sleeping with her." Rebecca said Hollie was already smart and Josh was already charming and hot. I agree with that, but he hasn't really shown it in any of the rounds. In the elimination round, both beauties got everything right. It was amazing.

I was so torn for the first time in an elimination round because I liked Hollie a lot and also Jessie and Josh. It is so sad to see Hollie and Josh leave. Hollie definitely learned a lot, Josh maybe needed to learn a little bit more. Hollie says she feels like a different person, I don't think she changed but maybe she will trust her brain more.

Weak: Beauty and the Geek

"Beauty and the Geek" has lost its spark. Fans have been wanting a role reversal: a hot dumb hunk and a smart non-superficial woman since the show started and all the producers of the upcoming season four can succumb to is one couple. It has gotten bland, stale and repetitive. Fans and me have been waiting for the Joey Russo-like hunk and a Winifred Burkle. And just one of each is not fun. If they afraid of loosing the 'popularity' by completing have female nerds and dumb males, then they are not willing to shake it up. Having just one couple proves they are afraid of something. On the cast, the faces of 'Sam' and 'Nicole' are covered.

No role reversal for Beauty and the Geek?


This wednesday 'Beauty and the Geek' starts on the CW network and much like the people on this board and many others, I'm surprised about that Asthon Kutcher's query about a role reversal hot mimbos with a room full of Freds didn't happen. We were all looking forward to that! Especially the hot dumbies. Instead of the nerds stepping up and becoming more open, it should be about the mimbos becoming smarter. Some people online have said maybe it would be no challange because the nerdy girls would only need to loose the 'glasses' and be pretty. I think that is stereotypical, I personally know some nerdy girls and they need more than a makeover. Some think the CW didn't go for that concept, I think that CW just didn't want to change or do anything different for the first time the show is on their network. So hopefully they may change it up on the next season.

Este miércoles ' Belleza y el Geek ' comienza en canal nuevo CW y como la gente en este 'forum' y muchos otros, estoy sorprendido que lo que Asthon Kutcher prometido sobre una revocación del papel (los hombres guapos tonitos con un cuarto lleno de Betty la feas) que no sucedio. ¡Todos estuvimos esperaron éso! Especialmente los guapos tonitos. En vez de los nerds que intensifican y que se convierten en personas más abiertos, debe estar sobre los guapos que llegan a ser más intelegentes. Algunos 'online' han dicho que quizá no sería ningún reta porque las muchachas introvertido necesitarían solamente soltar los anteojos y ser bonitas. Pienso que eso es sexista, yo sé personalmente que algunas muchachas que son introvertidas necesitan más que un simple 'makeover'. Unos piense que CW no le gusto ese concepto, pienso que que CW apenas no deseó cambiar o hacer una cosa diferente para la primera vez que demostración el 'show'. Tan esperanzadamente pueden cambiarla la próxima temporada.
