I'm mildly dreading the results of his makeover next week. I keep thinking Mindi's going to go 'urban cowboy' and turn those wide-hipped pants into full-fledged chaps.

Hi Ellecar,
You think Mindi is rude?
Wow, I missed that.I think she's got girl next door beauty. I thought the girl who got eliminated wasn't really beautiful...
but, that's just me. I love the show!!!!! www.health-boundaries-bite.com/Fingernails.html

9. "RE: Beauty And The Geek Episode 3" |
I think getting bathing suits that would look good is a really tough challenge, even when you're picking out your own. We all know our own size but most of us still have to try on tons until one really fits well. So getting ones to fit well for the girls was not easy. Scarlet did look great in both her suit and evening dress. I agreed with Caitilin, who I really like, that the judges were way too harsh. It was as if they'd forgotten who these guys were and what the aims of the show are.
I also wonder if it would have been possible for the two teams who picked who to send to the elimination room to have picked the same team. This was the first time that two different teams chose. We didn't see them conferring on who they would send so it seems they could have picked the same team. I wonder what would have happened then- if they'd have been given a chance to go out and confer again.
It was interesting that one team chose Richard (who's really getting annoying) because they felt he was incapable of change and the other team saved him because they felt he needed to stay there longer.

Sillier me! You're right. If every team is told to choose a first and second, there's no problem. I didn't think of that. It will be interesting to see what happens when there are only three teams. It might be fun if they reshuffled the teams since that could show that the guys have grown and can now go outside their comfort zone by having to work together with someone new. I know that Chuck (whose nose hasn't bled in weeks ) and Scarlet would love that!

One thing I liked seeing was how supportive the girls were with the guys clothing choices, even if they knew things wouldn't fit or were not exactly "beautiful".

Caught this one for the first time last night.Two things: 1) What's with the wide eyed, "AHA!" experience - that even geeks can be nice, interesting people? What planet have these idiot women been living on? It's not as if they're all that gorgeous. The cutaways are hilarious. 2) Richard.Must.Go. There's a difference between being a geek and being purely annoying. Richard is the latter. Even when people are giving him some "getting along" tips, he refuses to comply. Supremely annoying + Being an egomaniac = A$$ 
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

25. "RE: Beauty And The Geek Episode 3" |
i don't know what episode I saw tonight(This epsiode involved a quiz at the end, presumably most of them do), I didn't see all the show, and my comments have probably already been made by others, but here goes:1. No matter how many dating tips these guys memorize, they are still geeks. 2. Not all the guys are totally geeky, and not all the girls are totally airheads. 3. The blonde girl taking the quiz tonight was very hot, but very much an airhead. The brunette was actually pretty smart, but not in the league, looks wise, of the blonde. 4. If tonight's show was indicative of the rest of the series, I think the winner will be determined based more upon which girl can learn more stuff, rather than from which geek will acclimate the best.

31. "RE: Beauty And The Geek Episode 3" |
Last night, as much as I like Mindi, I was hoping she'd get the answers wrong because Richard is, by far, one of the most clueless people that I've ever seen. Chuck speaks for all of us when he said that nothing gets through to Richard. The first week, Richard seemed the biggest geek but that was the theme of the show, so he got the benefit of the doubt. Now, it's not funny or entertaining, it's just too much. For Richard to think that his only problem in the house was with Chuck just shows how totally he's out of it.
They're having a reunion show and as much as I hate the thought of seeing Richard for yet another week, I'll be curious to see what he has to say for himself. I don't think this was a case of editing. No producer could have thought up that scarf and cigarette last night. Richard, unfortunately, is what he is.
But what will be most interesting to hear is the others' views of him because Mindi has been so kind and restrained with him. I can't believe she hasn't complained a lot about him (but that may be editing).
I wish they could do some kind of an outcast return and bring back one of the sweet guys who got eliminated earlier and bring Mindi out of her misery. Did I say I don't like Richard!

After I posted, I realized that what I really object to is all the focus on Richard is taking away from all the others and how great the guys looked last night, how excited all the women were to see the guys, how nice the women are with each other, and how cute Scarlet and Chuck are. It'd be nice to find out they're still together at the reunion show. It was surprising last night how many women did give out their phone numbers. I thought most women nowadays get the man's number.
This show has so much potential, I'm looking forward to the next edition.

I agree with you, GumbyGirl. Mindi is really sweet and has incredible patience to put up with Richard's shenanigans.
If I remember correctly, she did really well during the elimination round the first time, too. I hope she comes out of this with more respect for her own intelligence. Certainly, she must be getting a lot of support from her friends and family as they watch the show together. I wonder if any of the women who gave out their phone numbers have watched the show? It'd be fun if some of them are in the audience at the Reunion show. I'd love to hear their reactions.

40. "RE: Richard" |
My husband hates Richard as well and is convinced that he's a "plant" to make the show more talk-worthy.I disagree. First of all, I've loved him from day one and I think he has the most chance for a change since he's the one who's really at the "geek" end of the spectrum. My husband doesn't believe there are any people in the world that really act like that, therefore he must be an actor. Again, I disagree! I KNOW someone who is exactly like Richard! He was a friend of mine from church and I haven't seen him in probably 10 years, however, as of the last time I saw him (we were both around 23) and my best friend who still see's him to this day can attest, he is JUST LIKE RICHARD! Only a couple of us were friends of his because most people couldn't handle being in the same room with him for long but he was very embaressing. Regardless, I think Chuck is a jerk! I don't like him and think he needs to go home now! (as someone else said, Chuck's the only one who has a problem with Richard.) The guy who was wearing a white shirt during the make-overs was the one I think who changed the most. Why in the world didn't Mindi do something with Richard's hair??? I don't understand why she wouldn't change the way he looked. Very odd... Oh well, I guess I'm the only one rooting for poor old Richard to win this thing! I think the best part of this episode was that he kept asking all the girls to dinner too late! That was priceless! No matter what the masses say, I LOVE YA RICHARD!

41. "RE: Richard" |
I like Chuck. I like that he tried to reach out to Richard a few weeks ago. I think he wanted to give Richard the benefit of the doubt but when Richard seemed incapable of change, Chuck just had enough. I can only hope that Richard wants to be a stand-up comic and this is his persona. In that event, maybe at the Reunion Show, he'll turn around to Ashton and say "Punked"!

42. "RE: Richard" |
I'm with you, Mom. I really like Chuck and think he is making slow and steady progress. I think his biggest hurdle is going to be getting over being SO serious and analytical about everything. Obviously, the makings of a great future M.D., but he needs to have a little more fun.I don't blame Chuck for becoming fed up with Richard. He tried in the beginning to help him and didn't put him up for elimination that one time to give Rich and chance to become HUMAN. Richard seems to live off of irritating the hell out of everyone and apparently thinks he is funny. I felt really sorry for Lauren when she had to have dinner with Richard. I think I would have walked away because of his DISGUSTING table manners. I think Richard is doing this on purpose. I would hope his mother taught him better than that. Last comment, I am rooting for Chuck in his pursuit of Scarlett, but the only way he will have success, IMHO, is if he lightens up more. Scarlett commented repeatedly about his droll choices for conversation. I wish she would have spoken to Chuck about it, so he can learn how to relate with his "date" better.

50. "RE: Richard" |
>>Considering that Ashton is one of the producers on Beauty and the Geek, I think it's now evident that Richard was there to act up for the camera.<<Nah. Only in the way that every reality show contestant is chosen in the hopes that they'll make good tv. From the link provided above, it appears that Richard's "acting career" consists of student & hobby films and community theater. Good for him...but it doesn't make him a "plant." It's been evident for decades (ever hear of "Queen for a Day"?) that the world is full of DAWs that are eager to make themselves look like idiots just to get on TV. Why would any producer PAY an actual actor to do it when you only have to hold an audition/interview? I've no idea when B&TG was taped, but my first assumption on hearing Richard appeared on Punk'd is that Ashton liked Richard on B&TG, then asked him to do Punk'd.

Thank you for giving me honor in hat form.
- Bill looked like a completely different person! They had to solicit phone numbers from strangers for the challenge...Chuck was funny - he ended up coming up with this gay filmmaker persona and he'd ask girls for numbers in reference to some film (asking for interviews). A few of the girls said something to the effect of "what a great way to pick up girls", at which point he'd chuckle and say something like "well, between you and me, I'm not really all that interested in girls, IYKWIM" LMAO. Richard was his usual desperate attention-seeking self.
