Beauty and the GeekThe basic premise of the show is that it has transformative powers. In that way I find it very hard to believe that Will and Jen will win. In my mind Josh and Shay, and Jasmine and Dave are the most transformed. Sam and Nicole seemed ready for the game and have not had any great transformation. Sam's streak of winning appears

I think that having one reverse-gender team kind of tilts the challenges in Sam/Nicole's favor. I mean, the challenge where they had to speed-walk around the ruins and unlock the treasures totally benefitted Sam because his legs were longest so he was the fastest walker. The same thing with the rocket challenge, because he probably knew how to build a rocket because he is a boy, even if he is a "beauty."

True, I thought that too about the Mayan ruins and the zoology one but not the rocket one. Sam has definitely outperformed the rest of the beauties in all challenges, even in the first debate challenge.

I was a bit doubtful that producers were helping him along, because besides the rest of the beauties wanting him out, he adds no drama. I don't see why the producers would want him around.

My money is still on Jasmine and Dave.

One way I have noticed of measuring producer involvement is to see the elimination questions.

Some teams get multiple choice and others do not. Last night had both teams getting moslty mutliple choice which means that the producers would have found a storyline no matter who stayed.
