I am so excited about the new season of Beauty and the Geek! This show is so nice.

My housemate got me into this with the repeats from last season. I love it!

I love the bowtie geek. Soo cute. Who would've thunk Ashton Kutcher would put out a show so warm and fuzzy?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kind of wish the male/female switcheroo were half and half (if you see what I'm trying to say), but maybe next season...

I do see and agree. I would've liked for a half girl beauties/half girl geeks (and vice versa) thing. I think it's kind of unfair to the girl geek. But I do enjoy this show. It helped to wash away the stank from the BB finale last night which I caught the tail end of only to see if America would take it all the way and give Dick the win. Sigh. I guess you'll never go wrong betting on people's baser instincts to win through. I think this season put me off BB for good.

Cheerier thought: Cycle 8 of ANTM starts tonight. Oh, what goodies Tyra will brink this season! Asperger's Syndrome? Bring it, bitches. I can't wait to see what Ms. Jay does with that one.

AM SO EXCITED!!!

Now, is the whole season set on a cruise ship or just tonight's episode?

I don't know. Maybe they will just cruise around all season docking at exotic ports o' call for the challenges and photo shoots. That would be fun. I wanna see somebody's weave get snatched off and thrown overboard!

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

the ship is just for the winnowing process. Once the 13 are chosen they will move into a house, I think.

OK, thank goodness there's some discussion of whether Sarah is plus size or not. Because seriously.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Anyone else catch Kid Nation?

Seriously, seriously. If she's plus size, then I'm a monkey's uncle. She could not be more than a size 8/10. There's no way she's plus size.

I'm underwhelmed by this crop. Ebony's schtick was tired three Cycles ago, and you're never gonna out-bitchcrazy rubbing your dirty drawers all over somebody's bed, so what are you left with? So many obviously cast for the drama - Heather (Asperger's girl), Lisa (I'm in love w/a stripper girl). I did enjoy the red head (short hair - not purple bangs) and I liked they Yalie, although agreed with Ms. Jay that she is a little horsey.
