After a season of less-than-satisfying twists thrown at us willy-nilly, we are finally down to the wire on Beauty and the Geek. In tonight's season finale, we will find out which among the final three teams will win a quarter of a million dollars and the chance to call themselves "more than just a beauty and a geek." Three teams remain: Chris and Cara, Tommy and Amanda, and Matt and Leticia. This is quite possibly the last episode of Beauty and the Geek ever, so I hope they don't hold anything back.
The three remaining teams gather in the library to meet Mike Richards. All the couches are gone, and the room is furnished with chairs and curtains. Mike tells them that one of the teams must leave right now, and who goes will be determined by how well each of them knows their partners.

Joe and Tara were sixth couple to be eliminated from this season of Beauty and the Geek. The pair had many ups and downs throughout their time on the show, fighting often and then making up again afterwards. Their often contentious relationship crescendoed until their biggest fight at the Big Bear resort, at which Tara constructed an impassable barrier to separate each person's side of the bed.
Unfortunately, we could not reach Tara to hear her side of things, but Joe was able to take some time to talk to BuddyTV. He shared with us his insight on his relationship with Tara, whom he likes to call "Big Sister," his side of the expectoratory fight he had with Randi, as well as what he's been up to since filming the show. Below, you will find an audiofile and a complete transcript of the interview.

Previously on Beauty and the Geek, the beauties and the geeks hit the road for a winter vacation at Big Bear. Kristina and Jason nearly won the sledding challenge, but in the end, they were the ones who were sent home.
The four teams remaining are Joe and Tara, Chris and Cara, Tommy and Amanda, and Matt and Leticia. They arrive back at the Beauty and the Geek mansion after their trip. Everyone registers varying degrees of shock and happiness to be in the final four. The teams decide to give Jason a Viking funeral. C'mon, people, he didn't die!

What's the difference between a Taylor series and Beauty and the Geek? Beauty and the Geek is finite. Geddit? Geddit?
With only four teams left in the game on Beauty and the Geek, this fifth season is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday, May 13. However, this episode will likely turn out to be the series finale. Sources close to the show's production staff confirm that the CW bigwigs have decided not to renew Beauty and the Geek for a sixth season.
CW executives say that they may reconsider bringing the show back if the producers can come up with a unique twist on the show's geeky guys/beautiful girls format. One possibility that they have discussed is incorporating an age-related element to the show

Kristina and Jason were the fifth team to be eliminated this season on Beauty and the Geek. It seemed like these two were going to breeze through their sledding challenge last night because they had built up such a big lead over everyone else. Unfortunately, their coefficient of friction was their biggest nemesis, and Tommy and Amanda were able to sail past them for the win.
Kristina and Jason spoke to BuddyTV today, and boy, did they have a lot to say! They weighed in on whether they thought Tommy was a "real geek" or not, they hinted about lots of bed-hopping going on behind the scenes, and they shared what they learned from their time on Beauty and the Geek. Below, you will find an audiofile and a complete transcript of the interview.

Previously on Beauty and the Geek, Joe and Randi got into the wildest fight in Beauty and the Geek history, ending in unexpected expectoration. Randi and Greg faced and lost against Joe and Tara in the elimination, and now there are only five teams remaining!
Tonight's episode begins as usual with the rest of the gang waiting to see which team emerges from the elimination room. It looks like everyone except for Jason is disappointed to see that Randi and Greg have gone home. (Kristina, in particular, is bummed because she thinks Tara and Joe are a team of Debbie Downers. Ha! I love Rachel Dratch.) Mike Richards arrives and makes the exciting announcement that they will all be headed to Big Bear the next day. Everyone is excited except for Chris, who really can't get it up for Big Bear. He doesn't have the same olation [sic] as everyone else.
