Beauty and the Geek Recaps

• Finalewatch '08: 'Beauty and the Geek'

  The finale of the fifth season of Beauty and the Geek was bittersweet since the show most likely won't come back, seeing how The CW didn't opt to renew it due to failing ratings. Fans of the show were disenchanted that the first few episodes tinkered with the "social experiment" formula -- instead of pairing up the beauties with the geeks to foster tolerance, this season kicked off with the beauties vying against the geeks. Not cool.

• 'Beauty and the Geek' plays a numbers game

  I was not at all thrilled going into this season of Beauty and the Geek mainly because of the big change.

• Finalewatch '07: 'Beauty and the Geek 3'

  With this first-ever Beauty and the Geek winners chosen by America, the finale also gave the booted pairs a chance to reunite and reminisce over the past season. Although I was impatient to learn whether or not Jasmine and Dave or Sam and Nicole won, I have to admit I got some good laughs while waiting.

• 'Beauty and the Geek' goes home

  Now, was anyone really surprised at how the winning team would be chosen on this season of Beauty and the Geek? After teasing the hell out of the new "twist," this was really the only way to go.

• 'Beauty and the Geek' sip, slosh and spit

  With communication consisting only of eyerolling, insults or all around bad vibes, mismatched Beauty & the Geek pair Jen and William prevailed last week and are among the final three teams in the mansion.  This week, however, they actually had to combine forces to avoid the elimination room.

• 'Beauty and the Geek' mix it up

  What a disparity in challenges on this Beauty & the Geek. I'm not sure that the beauty challenge really increased their smarts, but it was certainly entertaining since it gave Shay and Jasmine the heebie jeebies.
