Beauty and the Geek: Mario and Nadia, We'll Miss You
Dammit! The people we like always get booted. We’re beginning to think we’re bad luck.
Oh, Nate… we didn’t think our affection for you could ever fade, but the stunt you pulled at the park, going up to the same women after Mario did? That kind of pissed us off. Mario put himself out there, and you just capitalized on his work. That’s the first incidence of even slightly cut-throat behavior on the part of the geeks. How could you shake our faith in geekdom?
That’s why we were particularly disappointed that Mario and Nadia got sent home this week. They were the only couple that seemed genuinely supportive of each other at all times. They each went out of their way to tell the other how proud they were after the challenges. It’s a shame to see them go. Now that they're gone, who do you want to win it all?
Cecille continued her reign of terror this week. We snorted at Nate’s confessional comment that “sometimes I don’t think Cecille thinks of other people or other beings – she just likes to get her way and do something that makes her happy.”
“Sometimes?” Try “always.” We’ve never seen any evidence of Cecille caring about what anyone else wanted. She’s evil.
She’s also, apparently, delusional. “I’m allergic to metal”? “Classy, not trashy”? Sticking the doghouse together with double-sided taped, and forgoing the roof in favor of an animal-print cloth? That poor dog would have been doomed if it had to live in that house, but god forbid Cecille admit she’s wrong. Argh.
We continue to have mixed – but mostly negative – feelings about Jennylee. Yes, we’re glad she and Nate finally kissed (although the StalkerCam shots through the windows and with the night-vision cameras made us feel kind of dirty). But does she honestly have to be so mean to Niels? He’s her partner, and she seems to look at him with barely disguised contempt. It’s getting old, Jennylee. Get over yourself.
That leaves Scooter and Megan as our favorite remaining couple. Megan is not the brightest bulb, but she tries her hardest and she’s willing to put in the work. We were glad her doghouse won. Scooter is finally developing a backbone, but he is hopeless at any challenge that involves approaching women. Scooter, honey, you’re a catch. Loosen up. If you don’t, it’ll come down to Nate and Cecille vs. Niels and Jennylee in the final, and that would just be wrong.
What did you think of last night's episode? Are you a fan of the Nate/Jennylee coupling? Were you as sad to see Mario and Nadia go as we were? Discuss!
Also, if you're going through major Andrea, Erin, or Tori withdrawal, you can catch their post-boot interviews on our all-new Beauty and the Geek video player! Plus, watch the cast watch an episode in NYC (and more importantly, see whose makeovers stuck... and whose didn't).
Comments
I am happy that Scooter and Megan won the 250 grand, Congratulations you two!! You did great!!
Scooter, you have developed from a nervous nerdy guy into a decent mature, sexy young man. You have shown us girls that behind that nerdy look lies a heart of gold.
And Megan, I'm so proud of you!! You embraced the experience and took every lesson and learned from them. You showed us girls that beauty isn't everything. Thank you!!
And Nate, I'm sorry you had to be paired with CC when she didn't care about learning anything in the first place. You have a kind and gentle soul and if it weren't for CC you would have given Megan and Scooter a run for their money. You changed just as much as Scooter. You showed compassion and determination until the very end. And every day you made sure to give a smile to every one. Having a friend like you is a pleasure any girl would be lucky to have.
I'm glad you went for Jenny Lee and showed your feelings for her. Good for you!! Bravo!! It takes a lot of courage to do something like that.
I'm sorry that your relationship didn't last, but it was sweet while it lasted, right?
Well, now I say my goodbyes and good luck to the next Beauties and Geeks.

Think CC would had a major blowout on the air if she knew Nate was telling his past house partners to not vote for them!!!!!!! Actually, that woulda been interesting as well, but would have probably taken alot of editing!!!!!!!

Congrats to Meagan and Scooter!!!!! I agree with last posts about CC!!!!! I think many of the geeks were considered that cuz they hadn't come out of their shell to speak!!!!!!! The first eliminees from the show didn't seem willing to on either beauty or the geek part!!! I also want to say hey to Nate!!!!!!! You did the average joe proud by landing a beauty like Jenny!!! I truly think the show set out to challenge peoples' aspect to what beauty really is and if you look at the whole season I think they did a good job of it!!!!!! And CC and her blonde bikini speech, get a life you aren't that hot and ya aren't a true blonde!!!!!!!! I really think people can't judge a book by it's cover!!!!!!! I will congrat Ashtin K on the show as well cuz I think it shows he is not necessarilly impressed by physical beauty alone but the beauty w/i people!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so upset see Nadia and Mario gone,Nadia looks great in the show..
..I dont like CC...Even she did great in
the game..but she doesn,t make beauty in her heart..Nate is nice guy also,but i like scooter most in that show..i felt happt they won the game

As much as I LOVE Nate on the show, I would've just died if he and C.C. won.. Only because she clearly learned NOTHING from that experience.. But I am glad that Scooter and Meagan won the money.... Scooter's kind of cute don't you think? hehe :P That's just my opinion! :D
Posted by: Jaisea | February 14, 2007 8:30 PM
And anyone that says beauty and brains can't be one in the same package, Jenny Lee was in that elimination room more than any other contestant on the show (other than her partner)and if I am not mistaken she never had one incorrect answer!!!!!!!
Posted by: MeanGene | February 11, 2007 10:47 PM
Hated to see Jenny Lee get knocked out of the competition especially with the B---- CC!!!!! Jenny and Nadia were both very attractive but not to the point that they put themselves above the geeks!!!!! Andrea was also a very attractive player but she was def alot like CC!!!!!! I know it will probably get a chuckle but they need to do a show with 50 y.o. plus contestants!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: MeanGene | February 11, 2007 10:38 PM
Mario and Nadia have moved on to decency. Cecille is in need of metal health therapy and Nate should focus on a better suited female. Niels is going to be ok, his future in scoring with women will be alright.
I just wish there were some nerdy females and dumb hunks competing on the next sweason, now that
I would watch.
Posted by: naomi | February 11, 2007 7:59 AM
why does cecille think that people like her? she's only winning b/c nate is a strong team member...let's recap: she's not cute, she's a witch, and noone on the show likes her.

i think scooter is kinda cute. i would date him.

I was rooting for Mario and Nadia from the first episode. I thought they made an awesome team. They deserve to win. It relli sucks that they are gone. They were so cute like siblings, after each challenge. They seemed to make the biggest transformation. It was interesting to see Nate and Jennylee together, but it wont last. Cecile is evil. Nate relli pissed me off for using Mario. Niels looked like a stalker(not to say that was a flaw). That leaves us with Megan and Scooter. Not the best out there but they do try there best. I was surprised Megan knew how to use the tools, since she didn't even know how to work a walkie-talkie(how sad).lol

Ah! I was so sad that they left. But I was kind of happy that Jennyleigh didn't go becasue i want her and Nate to hook up!!! So I hope it comes down to the best teams thought. I always thought Megan was such a dumb blond and really stupid but now i totally changed my mind because of the dog house thing also she seems pretty nice.
Posted by: Sarah | February 5, 2007 10:21 PM
Oh my God i totally agree with all of your thoughts! I wanted Nadia and Mario to win definitely! Cecile is really evil and I don't like her at all! Now I want Scooter and Megan to win but Megan is really dumb at times so I don't know if they will make it. It made me so mad when she was on the beach and she didn't know how to use her walkie-talkie because she could've won but instead that twit cecile won. Every couple that I want to stay always leaves but I was most upset by this week's going home couple. Nate and Jenny-Lee are kind of cute but I think Jenny-Lee will get sick of Nate and I feel like she has a little bit of evil in her too. She needs to seriously stop being to mean to Niels!

nATE IS A LOSERS

aww. i really wanted nadia and mario to win. they were so nice to each other.
Posted by: ilene | February 2, 2007 6:35 PM
Oh!! I can't believe Mario and Nadia had to leave! They were my favorite team!!! Me and my friends were each a character in Beauty and the Geek, and I represented Mario and Nadia's team. It's so sad. But I am glad that Neils and Jennylee didn't leave. If they did, then Jennylee probably wouldn't have gotten a chance with Nate, like she did last night. What I really hope is that Nate and Cece don't win. Nate is okay, but Cece is all up for revenge! Now that Nadia and Mario are gone, I guess I'm hoping that Jennylee and Neils win, or Megan and Scooter win! Peace out to all Mario and Nadia fans!!!

I am so upset that Nadia and Mario went home. I thought that they made an amazing team and got along so well. They were always there for each other with support and comforting words. They were the ones who truly made the transformation of becoming more than a Beauty and a Geek. I hate Cecille, she is vicious. I don't think that Jennylee and Niels deserve to win because I achieved what they should have from being on this show. As much of a change I thought I saw in Nate, I am disgusted with the fact that he stole Mario's numbers. That is not a quality of a true winner. If karma does its thing, Nate will go home next week. So, now it's down to Megan and Scooter to win. Through it all, they've tried their best and although they have not made as big as a transformation as Nadia and Mario, its the next biggest thing. GO MEGAN AND SCOOTER!

I liked Mario and Nadia from the beginning. They both had such great personalities and they actaully learned from each other. She was more open to learning new things than the other girls were. Mario is now more self confident and open to more options in life

Hey as a True Beauty and the Geek viewer, I was extremely sad to see Mario and Nadia. Go they both were extremely great as a team. and even though Nate did kind of cheated to win off of Mario. Mario has changed by his approach to women. and Nadia did change also by all the challenges she was contending. They have both come a long way eince the beginning of the show and i wish both of them success. It is not about geeks and beauties but who you are inside and what you can accoplish in life that will make you succeed. so Mario and Nadia i wish you both luck and happyness in life.
Sincereley Mario and Nadias Biggest Fan

Aw, I loved Mario and Nadia! They didn't resort to diva-like behavior, and they seemed to genuinely care about and respect each other. Now we're left with Jennylee and Niels (she's okay, he's kind of bland), Nate and Cecille (he's cool, she is evil), and Megan and Scooter (she annoys me, but he's kind of cute). Mario and Nadia were the only pair that had me rooting for BOTH of them. I guess I'll have to support Megan and Scooter... but only by default.
