Yay. Usually around this time on Beauty and the Geek the beauties and geeks start to bond, and even though it can be predictable, it's no less entertaining and heartwarming.
Fortunately, tonight, the bonding coincided with some interesting plot twists to add up to a pretty entertaining episode of BATG. First, the beauties and geeks were asked to send one team member over to the other side. Not knowing what the benefits or drawbacks of this would be, the geeks sent Chris, who has already started setting himself apart as a team leader, and the girls Jillian, who hadn't really defined herself up at all. Then the teams learned that in the next challenge, either Chris or Jillian would have to go home, depending on which team lost.
The two teams battled in a game of flag football that turned out to be a better game than many NFL matches (or at least was edited the look that way.) The game was tense, the players taking it seriously, or even too seriously. The nice thing, too, was that Chris previously had said that he'd have to degrade either himself or his team to win, and it seemed like he had to do neither. And when Matt got injured, everybody cried.
Jillian seemed genuinely sad to go home, but her elimination led to another juicy twist. Now, finally, the game returned to Beauty AND the Geek format, not "Beauty vs. Geek," with the girls choosing their teammates. It seemed like they chose in the spirit of the game, picking partners who they figured had the most to teach/learn, unlike Cara, who cried because she wanted to be paired up with her best pal "Greggy."
