So, now, let's talk about the challenges. Katie, you had to teach... I'm sorry, remind me again what you had to teach?

Katie: I had to teach fractions to a third-grade classroom. I was disappointed in my performance because my mom was a third-grade teacher for forty years. You would think that I would have gotten that one. But I didn't. It's harder than it looks.

How long did you have to teach for? What length of time did everyone get?

Katie: Five minutes.

Okay, so you had to teach fractions in five minutes! Is there anything that you would have done differently?

Katie: Yeah, I would have done Shay's lesson because, obviously, she won.

Oh, yeah.

Katie: I wish I would have thought of that myself.

Luke, how about your challenge. Let's see, you had to go to the prom. Well, first of all, was that a real prom?

Luke: I don't know if I can comment on that.

Katie: Of course it was a real prom.

Sorry?

Luke: Well, there was a real prom king and everything, so I don't know why it wasn't a real prom.

I mean, were they real students, high school kids?

Katie: Yeah.

Luke: Everyone in there was real. Yeah, people in there are real. They weren't like robots or anything. They were real people.

Okay. And, you didn't win your challenge either. Was there something, like, thinking back now, what would you have done differently?

Luke: To be honest, I don't know that I could have done much differently. Maybe ask people more about themselves. But, really, I just went there and I was myself. So, I don't know if there was anything I could do differently.

Uh-huh. And what are you guys going to miss most about being on Beauty and the Geek?

Katie: I think that I can answer that easy for both of us. We'll miss the people the most. The friendships are real, the tears are real, the experience is real, and the people on there are real. I mean, I think Will said it best on the show: "The people aren't the obstacle to the prize, the people are the prize." And I'll miss everybody on the show, and if anybody on the show is watching or hearing this, we miss you guys, we love you guys, and we can't wait 'til the reunion show to see them.

Luke: I gotta add that I especially miss my partner, Katie.

Katie: Yeah, we miss each other a lot.

Luke: I don't know if you heard how good this person was. She was the best partner ever.

Ohh! So you'd pick each other again if you could?

Katie: Oh, in a second.

Luke: There's be no hesitation there. It'd be like, "You need a partner." "Katie." Like that.

And, obviously, you wanted to stay and not get eliminated. Who do you think you would have wanted to go, you know, instead of you guys?

Katie: I mean, it's a game and it's hard to say. You know, you never want to see anyone go. There's not one person on that show that I would want to go home.

Luke: Yeah. Everyone on there deserves to be there. No one on there didn't deserve to be on the show. Everyone on there was just amazing, and totally worth being there. So, I don't know if we could really have sent anyone home, or wanted to send anyone home. But it would have been the hardest decision that we'd have to do.

Who would you want to see win the whole game?

Katie: I want to see Jasmine and Dave, or Sam and Nicole win. We're really rooting for those two.

Luke: Yeah, I think our final four at this point, well, not final four, but the last two couples for us would be Jasmine and Dave, and Sam and Nicole. We really want to see them in the finals. And they were two, well, Sam and Nicole were our best friends in the house for both Katie and myself.

Katie: And Jasmine and Dave. Both of those teams were really close to us.
