Pleeeeeease\u2026 I know she\u2019s got great breasts, but that smirk hurts me in my soul.\u201d Naturally, the editors ignored me.<\/p>\n<p>During Season 1, they gave us champagne at the end of the challenges. On Sundays (our day off), there was enough for two beers each. Now they have no qualms about people getting wasted. Seeing Erin dance on the boat in her heels might have seemed hot, but I\u2019m surprised the producers weren\u2019t more concerned about her slipping and cracking her skull open. Drunk = good TV. Death from being drunk = not-so-good TV.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of drunk, the circle of blondes has been broken! Cecille\u2019s bitching about Niels drove <i>everyone<\/i> out of the room!<\/p>\n<p>I was giving Niels props before: he took a stand against the spoiled Jennylee, he defied the standards of fashion when choosing his makeover and succeeded\u2026 now I think he\u2019s just a stubborn dick. He wasn\u2019t supposed to be teaching the girls martial arts on the beach. They weren\u2019t wearing gis, they weren\u2019t taking their shoes off at the edge of the mat and they sure as hell weren\u2019t bowing to him at the beginning of the class. (On the other hand, crawling around like a bear did give him a nice view of their haunches.)<\/p>\n<p>Nate, do us all a favor and burn those tights. Please.<\/p>\n<p>Scooter told the girls about 3rd position in ballet; Megan said if a guy brought her to a ballet, she\u2019d think he was gay. Hmmm\u2026 I bet that\u2019s why he was in the threesome! Chicks always dig the gay guys! Man, sometimes being straight really sucks\u2026 (And that was me being sarcastic, so for all you male readers out there, please don\u2019t give me your phone numbers. If you <i>really<\/i> want to give me a call, try 1-800-555-I-DON\u2019T-DATE-GUYS!)<\/p>\n<p>Wasn\u2019t it nice how encouraging the host was while the girls were searching for the walkie-talkies? \u201cSomeone\u2019s found a box! She\u2019s opening it\u2026 oh, snap! It\u2019s empty! Sucks to be you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how close the race on the kayaks was. Seriously. I\u2019m thinking Megan reached shore about five minutes after Cecille did. I\u2019m also thinking that if all five guys had thought up decent upper-body workouts on the beach, paddling to the other side would hurt like hell.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s only fair that since you sent us to the elimination room, we should send you now.\u201d Why did they show Jennylee and Niels\u2019 reaction while Cecille said it? Is it the <i>slightest<\/i> bit possible that there was a <i>hint<\/i> of remorse on her face because she <i>kinda<\/i> liked Jennylee? Naaaaah\u2026 she\u2019s evil, remember?<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Nate jumping up and down when Jennylee got her questions right was really funny and really weird at the same time. I remember thinking \u201cOh, Jesus\u2026\u201d while Richard was bouncing around and yelling \u201cGadzooks!\u201d when Scarlet and Mindi were in the elimination room\u2014I can only imagine what the other people were thinking while Nate was doing basically the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>Drew was wearing kind of a stylish outfit during his final interview (especially compared to the picture of the galaxy on his t-shirt in the first episode). Do you think they gave the guys more than one makeover set of clothes? Make sure they were dressed up nice before hitting the road? Just a thought.<\/p>\n<p>And the other half of the \u201cBeauty and the Geek\u201d coin is about to fall. They already found someone to be evil\u2014now it looks like a geek will be hooking up with a beauty next week.
