**sorry. should've been Episode 4 as the subject. Moderator, can you please change this.**

I can't believe there wasn't a thread of this already made!

The title of this episode should've been 'True Colors' because it was an eye-opener! Does Scarlet have an evil twin sister? Wow! You can learn a lot about a person by how they deal with adversity, and she didn't deal with it very well.

Mindi is obviously a lot smarter than all the other girls who have been on the show. I'd like to get her background because it only has her listed as a sorority girl. I'm beginning to wonder if she ever did that poorly in school.

And as usual, Richard was over the top.

Mods can't change titles - we'll just have to muddle through.

What bugged me was how they gave away the winner of the elimination halfway through the episode. When the ad talked about the final 2, we saw Richard and Mindi walking down the stairs with Chuck and whats-her-face (I keep forgetting her amidst Chuck's obsession with Scarlet). Took all of the suspense out of the elimination for me.

Yea, they made a big mistake casting Mindi, she is way too smart for this show. I wonder if she knew the show description in advance and intentionally acted like an airhead in the casting interview.

Well, she's a sorority girl, which means she attended college. Probably a mistake to cast a sorority girl.

I'm so miffed that Richard survived again! I only caught the end (I'll watch the rerun tonight) & I'm not looking forward to a Chuck/Richard showdown! Mindi & Caitilin are fairly evenly matched, IMO, so it will really be a contest between Chuck & Richard.

Pssst... it was actually episode 5.

I agree with you, Cambo. There are a lot of "sorority" girls who graduate Phi Beta Kappa, so Mindi's, obviously, a lot smarter than the label the show's given her. Since I think that she's carried Richard throughout this series, it was only fair that Richard had to carry her backpack last night.
I bet the producers were surprised that Shawn didn't completely shine during the outdoors challenge. It was a "reel" experience that should have showed his true "po-Tent-ial".
It reminded me of Kelly from SurvivorI who also didn't do well in a challenge that played to her strong points. For Scarlet to be as unkind as she was, was just awful. As Caitilin (I think) said, Scarlet's never won a challenge, so to not be understanding when someone was feeling so unwell that a medic was brought it, was definitely showing a very negative side of her. It's a good thing this show is winding down, because I think they've all had enough of each other at this point. The overall tone of the whole show was pretty mean spirited last night, which hasn't been case (with the exception of Richard and Chuck) for most of the episodes.

OMG! Scarlet was an absolute beeyotch to Sean! I can't believe she totally flipped out on him and blamed him for their loss, even though he had to be checked out by a medic and given oxygen! You're right about "true colors", sheesh!

I used to like Chuck, but the way he & Richard relate, I can see he adds to it too. I feel sorry for Mindi & Caitilin for being stuck putting up with those two.

I still can't stand Richard.

I want Richard to lose because he's changed the least. If the idea of the show is to become more than your stereotype, then he's fallen asleep on the job.

Of course, the last time the winner of a reality show was the most deserving person according to that show's criteria was...

I loved that episode watching Richard stand up to Chuck and finally put him in his place is awesome. Chuck is an obnoxious a55 who is condescending to all. Mindi though impressive was a dum a55 last night considering that Richard told her that he had no idea about the questions and she still didn't help him. I think that her not missing any of the questions was more a product of Richard's teachings than anything else( other than this episode).

I cna kind of see why Scarlett got mad. Watching him quit the previous challenge and then (I guess in her mind) watching hing him quit another challenge would be infuriating even though I think she may have been over reacting a bit. It was interesting though that when she needed comforting she went to Richard of all people. Watching her berate Chuck made for good tv.

Caitlin has come a long way from wanting to hang all these geeks to actually sympathizing for the guys.

Seriously Chuck you are 27 so what is with all your sage advice. Bringing out the negative stereotypes of geeks? You do realize that this is a show and nobody considers Richard to speak for geeks every where right?


Editing needs to be fixed next season. Before this week's show even aired you show a clip from the finals, you have a Caitlin in the Finale clip in the intro and your montage pretty much tells you who gets booted when. They are probaly gonna have to throw in new twists as weel because I don't see them being lucky enough to get another Richard type to be on the show.

Thank you for giving me honor in hat form.

I saw a commercial last night for my local WB station and they are running a Beauty and the Geek marathon this Sunday at 5 pm.

If you missed any episodes or want to see them again, you can catch all 5 previous episodes. I have no idea if they are doing this across the country, but in the NYC & Philadelphia areas they are.

I'm actually kind of glad that Richard is still around. He has effectively stolen the show. The showdown in the finale between Richard and Chuck is going to be awesome.

Richard is so incredibly annoying. That's a given. But Chuck is just so unamused by his antics. I have never seen such a serious person. Doesn't he see the insane humor in all this? If I were on the show, I would probably try to get under Chuck's skin too.

I might try to get under Chuck's skin but good grief...Richard is just too far out there. IMHO. He annoyed me until the last episode when they went camping...what the hell was doing? But I do agree that the show wouldn't be as interesting without Richard.
