"Beauty and the Geek" Reveals Yet Another Twist...

... and I won't be sticking around to watch it.

Is anyone else just totally over this once-fantastic now unwatchable series? Sad.

I don't care about gratuitous twists, skanky contestants that appear willing to bed the geeks in order to stay in the house, or why the producers feel that they need to shake up a winning formula by introducing such drivel and undermining their own brand.

I'm out.

What next?

    So you stayed around just long enough for them to pair them up and bring back the Beauty and the Geek we loved, doing away with the awful Beauty vs. Geek?!?!
    I felt last night's episode finally was heading back to the show I loved. I didn't like the fact that the people who switched sides were automatically out if their team lost, and I didn't like that the girls picked the teams, leaving one poor geek to be left out (brought back too many memories of being picked last for sports, which I'm sure it did for the geeks as well)
    But I loved seeing Leticia waiting on the steps for Matt to return from the hospital. And how upset Tiffany was at sending him there. This was the show I signed up for, and hopefully starting next week we will get it back.
    Besides the slut who tried to hook up with the completely clueless Tommy is gone, and the rest seem like they might be changing.
    But I just can't believe now is where you decided to leave, which makes me wonder, did you finish last night's episode?

    Too little too late. Yes, it looks like they are returning to the old format but, sadly, they've annoyed me too much to care.

    The American TV viewer is being willingly sucked to the bottom of a pool of televised toxic waste.

    Dance With The Stars
    Dance Without The Stars
    Do It With A Star
    Bachelor This, Bachelorette That
    Beauty Geek Survivor Idol Race Rock-Star Brother

    It's all one show, it reeks of lack of imagination, and it sucks the big one.

    At the same time I'm Googling Bret Michaels because I've never freaking heard of him, I'm haunted by questions like "where the hell did 'Alias' go?" and "who's the Einstein that canceled "Firefly" after a dozen eppies?"

    People who support crap TV deserve crap TV. The rest of us are having trouble finding something to watch. No wonder downloading movies is so popular.

    Springsteen said it 20 years ago, "57 Channels and Nothing On."

    Sigh. No, I'm still stuck on it. They almost lost me with the Geeks vs. Beauty direction, but things are relatively back on track. The participants do seem to lack the charm of players in seasons past, though.
