So it's called Beauty and the Geek, not Geeks. The parallelism makes more sense, I suppose, but Geeks sounds more like Beast so for that reason, I prefer it. Another great show this week! I told you the 5.0 MIT guy was a catch - did you see the bustier he sewed for his weirdo, possibly high on quaaludes this week, partner? She was the only one who could actually wear the costume he sewed and didn't have to wear her own clothes underneath so it wouldn't be pornographic. Sewing is super difficult if you don't know how, so I can't imagine that the geeks didn't actually have someone off-camera helping them (there would be no way they could accurately thread the thread through all the sewing machine parts otherwise), but still, I'm impressed - with the MIT guy that is. Did you notice how Nicole (female geek) went back to looking the exact same after her makeover? This is because she suffers from the same problem as most female geeks and that is her refusal to wear makeup!! What else do all those nerd-to-beauty high school shows teach us other than all a girl needs to look pretty is to get rid of her glasses, get a decent haircut and wear makeup?!?! (optional in real life but required on said shows: throw on some slutty clothes). For the most part it's really true! Some geeks could also benefit from a good eyebrow waxing or at least plucking and a deep conditioning treatment, but come on, it's not that hard. The producers need to get Carmondy out there to help Nicole. The thing is she has an advantage over the other geeks because as a woman, there is no way to entirely avoid pop culture the likes of Cosmo, etc. Last comment: Jasmine's super hero!!! Totally and utterly hilarious. I love that the judges just laughed at her freely and she had no idea that they were mocking her. I also love that they gave her a shout out since it was the "most entertaining thing ever" and she was genuinely pleased. This exposes a deep-rooted fear of mine, which is that any time I get a complement or someone laughs at a joke of mine, that they are really being sarcastic or mocking me in some way. I can't bear the thought of being a Jasmine!! Another example of this - Sanjaya on American Idol. The week he sang Satisfaction (I think), Simon said "fantastic" or some such thing in a super sarcastic voice because he'd given up giving criticism, and Sanjaya said all genuinely and sweetly, "thank you!" and looked like he may cry, he was so touched. On the other hand, back to the show- Sam (male beauty) put on a performance that was completely self-assured and could have resulted in the same problem, but his was actually good and maybe even a tinge ironic. The self-tanner was genius (Ammon thinks that Nicole therefore came up with it). Post a comment in response: |
