Let's start with "Beauty and the Geek," and our rubberband-loving local Josh. Last week ended with the shocking addition of a new team featuring a male beauty and a female geek. First order of the night: pool party! And it was really boring! Let's move on to the challenge, which required the geeks to rap and the beauties to debate about current political topics. Apparently Josh's rap was so bad they didn't even bother to show more than a few seconds of him forgetting the words and jumping around on stage. Needless to say, his team did not win that challenge. As for the debating bit, his Betty Boop partner Hollie debated on the pro side of the Alaskan Arctic Refuge oil drilling debate arguing that cars can't run on canola oil, or whatever it is "hippies think we can run cars on." His team didn't win that one either, (the male beauty did). But it's all good, because they weren't picked to go through the elimination test, so Josh is around for another week.

As was pointed out by a reader last week, we do have a local geek representing the Bay Area on "Beauty and the Geek" this season. His name is Josh Bishop-Moser and he's a Mechanical Engineering major at U. C. Berkeley and president of the Rubberband Club. (We can't find a MySpace page for him; could he possibly not have one??) Unfortunately, we had to sit through 45 minutes of the two-hour premiere before we even got to see him, but compared to some of the other geeks, he's kind of cute. Except for the weird widow's peak 'do. And the hairy back. He introduced himself to the roomful of beauties (one of whom agreed he was cute), told them he was the president of the rubber band club, and then did a William Tell trick by shooting a plastic cup off of one of the girl's heads. He's definitely geeky, but at least he could take out a bully with a well-aimed rubberband.
