Hey, baby, what’s your sign?

This seems like the perfect time for a ranting session, primarily because I had one out in L.A. and no one got to see it. After leaving the mall and getting back to the mansion, I sat down in front of a camera and went on a tear about the challenge for… well, it lasted a while because I was pissed.

I’m gonna try and narrow things down a bit so I’m not spewing venom for pages upon pages without giving a decent explanation of why I was so disgusted with it. And that’s truly how I felt—disgusted. The entire trip back to the mansion, I just felt dirty. While the other challenges had been slightly awkward, they were basically expanding my comfort zone. Getting phone numbers from random women… I hated it. Continue reading “Hey, baby, what’s your sign?”

Episode 4: Let’s go cruising for chicks!

Richard continues his rampage throughout the mansion.
Dinner time! (I made a solemn vow with Mindi that the next time we meet, we’re going to have a piece of chocolate cake together.)
Girls: C’mon, girls, let’s go shopping! (It looked like they were in their natural element…)
Guys: “Hey, baby, what’s your sign?” (I’ll write more about this later.)
Lauren won the girls’ challenge, giving Bill an extra phone number.
Chuck won the overall challenge.
Richard and Mindi & Bill and Lauren go to the elimination room.
Bill and Lauren go home.

Take that, Britney!

I was just checking out E! Online and found out Beauty and the Geek kicked Britney Spears’ ass in the ratings! (We topped her show “Chaotic” by 27 places and 2 million viewers!) It’s pretty obvious why that’s the case—if you look at our mouths during the show, you can tell that all of us are a lot better at lip-synching.

Geeks Speak!

People magazine. June 27th, 2005. The bachelor issue. Page 90. A cast photo of Beauty and the Geek. Little snippets of each guy’s phone interview. Stuff I said. Weird…

But I’m a tad frustrated—after reading everyone’s quotes, it feels like they did a real hack-job on mine. I’m sure you’ll all want to go out to the local newsstand and buy your own copy, so if you don’t want me to spoil it, move on to a different post. For the rest of you, follow me… Continue reading “Geeks Speak!”

The height of success

After weeks of reading a multitude of posts on the WB’s Beauty and the Geek website, I feel the need to make an official statement. To the seven people (and their supporters) who have determined that Scarlet is too short to win:

You’re a bunch of idiots.

I know I’m not supposed to talk about what’s going on behind the camera, but I think it’s safe to assume that the producers didn’t set up a slam-dunk competition for any of the upcoming challenges.

If you want a challenge of your own, get a ruler and a cast photo. First, measure the height of the first step. Second, measure the difference between the tops of Mindi’s and Scarlet’s heads. Pretty cool how the distance is almost exactly the same, huh? And if you calculate the number of stairs between Scarlet and Lauren, you’ll find that the distance is almost exactly the same again.

At 6’4”, I’m tall enough that all three of them fit under my chin with their high heels on. Thus, if Scarlet’s critics are right, Lauren or Mindi would have spelled her doom by becoming my partner because “she’s too short to win.” Bummer…

Fame in Minnesota

I’m not sure whether it’s the people here, but I get some of the strangest reactions from people when I see them/meet them for the first time. I still haven’t gone strolling through the Mall of America yet, but aside from that… no one’s initiated any kind of interaction. Not even the people who know me. Continue reading “Fame in Minnesota”
