To pick up from last week's big cliffhanger, I was sad to see Tara pick Joe in lieu of Jonathan, because Joe's big-mouth personality seemed to indicate that he was better off on the social sphere than Jonathan, plus, I thought Jonathan was cuter. The sadness was not diminished at all by Jonathan saying that it would be nice for him to see his mom. Aaw.
Definitely the strangest duo though to come out of the beauties-picking-geeks plot twist was Tiffany and Jim. She acted like picking him was an epiphany, yet when she her hands on him, her changes were purely cosmetic (although, if you have a weirdo personality and b.o., deodorant is definitely more of a priority than pickup lines.)
Sometimes on BATG a couple comes along that seems a little TOO ready for the ground-breaking change and that was Tiffany and Jim tonight. Tiffany kept talking about how much Jim changed her life, but we never really saw any evidence of them getting to know each other at all. In fact, I thought his repeated "facepalm" as Tiffany flubbed during the science fair was fairly obnoxious.
After the science fair and relationship advice challenges, Matt and Leticia were sent to elimination with Tiffany and Jim. While I thought "Ohh, it'll be a shame to see either team go," I realized that the only person out of the four who seemed to really need the competition was Jim. Matt looks dorky but he definitely seems to be rooted in the real world. Both Tiffany and Leticia seem smarter than they let on. Jim, however, is another story. I admired the way that he forthrightly asked Tiffany for a kiss (and the respectful way she handled his request), but it's not normal to interpret some flirty competition as actual romance. I also couldn't imagine kissing that science face.
