Reality Preview: Beauty and the Geek, Top Chef | Roush Dispatch | 3/11/2008
Two of reality TV's more pleasurable guilty pleasures return this week, one in "top" form and the other going too far in an unfortunate new direction.First up is the CW's Beauty and the Geek (Tuesday, 8 pm/ET) making yet another ill-advised change to the "social experiment," one even more damaging potentially than the last cycle's gender switch of adding a male beauty and a female geek to the game. This time around, the show pits the beauties against the geeks, turning what was once a... read more
Is This Geek for Real? | Today's Top Videos | 3/11/2008
As yet another season of Beauty and the Geek ensues, another batch of brilliant (wink, wink) women and socially-challenged men embarrass themselves in front of America. But one geek in particular caught our eye. Perhaps it's his tuxedo t-shirt (which clearly says "I want to be formal, but I'm here to party”), or the shifty-eyed delivery of his touching poem. Whatever it is, we definitely are putting our money on that guy! Go to video close-up now! read more
In New Beauty and the Geek, Assets Face Off | Today's News: Our Take | 2/21/2008
The CW's Beauty and the Geek is back March 11 (8 pm/ET), but this time the gorgeous and the brilliant won't be paired up: They'll be pitted against each other. In the all-new season of the Ashton Kutcher-produced series, the nine new beauties will have no brilliance to lean on, nor will the geeks have any in-team help on the fashion front. Adding more challenge to the mix will be competitions where the geeks join uber-guru Dr. Drew on Loveline, as well as attempt to offer style tips for beauty... read more
Beauty and the Geek's Winners Take Home More Than Just the Money | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 12/7/2007
The CW's Beauty and the Geek has every right to declare Cycle 4 winners Jasmine Moore and Dave Olsen an exemplary model of what its "social experiment" is all about: learning patience and appreciation for the disparate worlds of tanning beds and bikinis, comic books and LARPing (live-action role-playing, that is). Dave, 28, was (he confesses) a "thoughtless, tactless and careless" teammate when first paired with 22-year-old Jasmine. But by midseason, the team set aside their differences to ... read more
50 Dumbest Celebs, Janice Dickinson & More! | Today's Top Videos | 12/4/2007
Top 50 Dumbest Celebs in HollywoodIf someone asked you to list off the dumbest stars in Tinseltown, you probably wouldn't even know where to begin considering the massive laundry list for this year alone. Well, leave it to the New York Daily News to come out with a list of the 50 dumbest stars in the sky. Whoever said nothing good would come of posing nude, creating drunken havoc in a Walgreens or, our favorite, being a "serial sperminator"?Watch it now!Janice Dickinson's 12 Days of... read more
BATG's Sparring Duo Calls Truce in Final Round | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/27/2007
Jen Carter and William McDonald got off to a rocky start from Day 1 of Beauty and the Geek (8 pm/ET, CW). The twosome, ousted in last week's episode, made amends just days before their departure, finally learning to work together as a team and to compromise. They explained to TVGuide.com all they'd been through ? including hair loss and a lot of stress ? and opined on which of the two remaining teams is more deserving of the win. TVGuide.com: Wow, it's been an interesting experience for you ... read more
Ask Ausiello | 11/21/2007
Don't fret, Mike. If the strike goes on for a while, you can give us scoop on great programming like Beauty & the Geek, American Gladiators, The Bachelor, My Dad's Better Than Your Dad and Farmer Needs a Wife. How can you not look forward to that? read more
Ask Matt | 11/19/2007
I never watched the CW before this year, but suddenly I'm finding myself watching shows that have been running for a while. Some of them I didn't know I was missing (Everybody Hates Chris, Beauty and the Geek and Supernatural), while others have only just started (Reaper, Gossip Girl and Aliens in America, definitely the funniest new show of the year). Am I a statistically insignificant anomaly, or do the ratings indicate that this will be the breakout year for the CW (or would have been if not... read more
Beauty and the Geek Success Story Sent Home | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/16/2007
Few would argue that Joshua Green and Shalandra (Shay) Cham were the team that changed the most during their tenure in the Beauty and the Geek (Tuesdays at 8 pm/ET, The CW) mansion. Though often exasperated and dumbfounded by her teammate, Shay helped introduce Joshua to a world of women, working out, self-tanner (at the beach, he staunchly remained fully clothed), gift baskets and bartending. Meanwhile, Shay overcame two of her biggest fears: spiders... and math. TVGuide.com: Having earned... read more
Beauty and the Geek's Latest Twist Takes Its Toll | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/9/2007
It's been a season of new twists and turns on Beauty and the Geek (Tuesdays at 8 pm/ET on the CW), and the game changed once again last week. First, the five remaining teams were rewarded with a spontaneous trip to Cancun, Mexico. Though the tequila was free-flowing, it wasn't all a fiesta: The two challenge-winning teams were permitted to eliminate a single team, without the standard elimination-room quiz-off. With no chance to retain their place in the game, John Gardner and Natalie Reeves... read more
Rating a New Round of Reality | Roush Review | 11/7/2007
Now is not the time to be a reality-TV snob. The reality of the TV business is that this genre is here to stay ? and it may come in especially handy during the writers' strike. Like every form of TV, reality is capable of exhilarating highs: This fall, I'd include Dancing with the Stars (with its most appealing cast to date), Survivor (with its exotic China backdrop) and the recently returned Emmy champ The Amazing Race. Naturally, there are also innumerable lows (most celeb-reality). Here's a... read more
A Love Letter to an Amazing Race | Roush Dispatch | 11/2/2007
"The Amazing Race is a love letter to the planet," says Kate in this weekend's season premiere. This wonderful, visually spectacular series is also an ode to adventure, as well as a valentine to cultural diversity, which Kate and her life partner, Pat, exemplify. They’re lesbian Episcopal ministers from California — Kate is 49 and Pat is 65 — and according to CBS promotional information, they "dated for seven years before tying the knot three years ago." They’re good... read more
BATG's Blond Ambitions Thwarted by Brunette Nemeses | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/26/2007
Last week's team challenge on Beauty and the Geek (8 pm/ET, CW) seemed at first like seventh heaven for the comic-loving geeks, with a trip to Comic-Con and the task of creating their own superheroes. The catch: It was the beauties who invented the superhero (complete with backstory and arch enemy); the geeks were stuck sewing their teammates' costumes. Unfortunately, Jesse Yeary and Erin Schneider ? who are sporting matching platinum hair colors since Jesse's makeover ? were strategically sent... read more
Made Up But Moved Out: BATG Sends Katie and Luke Home | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/19/2007
After losing against Sam and Nicole in the elimination room, Katie Roberson and Luke Neyer bid emotional goodbyes to their housemates. Still, the twosome left on a high note: Their final days on Beauty and the Geek (8 pm/ET on the CW) included their favorite moments ? the geek makeovers and a prom. TVGuide.com got the scoop. TVGuide.com: It was said that you two were nominated because you'd become smarter and more social. Do you think that you had learned everything you could in the house?Katie... read more
BATG's Ultimate Revenge of the Geek | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/12/2007
When competitors deemed Rebecca Nichols' canoodling with the season's male beauty, Sam, as rude and uncomfortable and perceived her teammate Will Frank an arrogant "King Geek," the peasants of the manor on Beauty and the Geek (Tuesdays, 8 pm, the CW) planned a revolt. To everyone's surprise, Nicole, the musicology geek, played them like a fiddle. When the pair spoke with TVGuide.com, they were eager to explain themselves and apologize profusely. TVGuide.com: You were a strong team and won ... read more
BATG's "Old Married Couple" Are Split Up | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/5/2007
Josh Bishop and Hollie Winnard, nicknamed the "old married couple" by the other teams on this season's Beauty and the Geek (Tuesdays at 8 pm/ET, CW), were forced to leave the mansion last Tuesday despite a near-flawless performance in the elimination room. In talking with the pair, you'd never know they now live very different lives on opposite coasts. TVGuide.com listened in as they laughed, finished each other's sentences, and discussed topics as varied as the scandalous ... read more
Beauty and the Geek's First Castoffs Focus on Life After TV | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/28/2007
Though Beauty and the Geek (Tuesdays at 8 pm/ET, CW) is a "social experiment" and consistently fertile ground for new friendships and significant others, it is a reality competition, and that means one team has to leave each week. Season 4's first casualties, Tony Tran and Amanda Hanshaw, departed last Tuesday. The pair, both quick to defend each other, spoke to TVGuide.com about their brief stay in the mansion and life back in the real world. TVGuide.com: Were you sad to leave the show so ... read more
The New Season: Busy Enough for You? | Roush Dispatch | 9/25/2007
Already playing catch-up on only the second day of the official TV season. Geez, how will we ever survive Wednesdays and Thursdays? (Pause here for a silent prayer to the powers that protect my DVRs.)Anyway, the biggest news on Monday was how Heroes would bounce back from a first-season finale that disappointed many (I was not among them, but then, my expectations for this uneven show haven’t always been all that high). I was mostly enthralled, once I got over yet another tedious Mohinder... read more
