Beauty and the Geek Bowl" />Previously on Beauty and the Geek, the geeks dominated the beauties in the first ever Beauty and the Geek talent show. When faced with their first elimination, some of the beauties chose to flirt instead of study. Amber failed to answer any questions in the elimination, so she was sent home. Tonight, the social experiment will continue to evolve.

Tonight's Beauty and the Geek begins immediately after last week's elimination. Tommy hopes that Amber is coming back. Each of the other girls walks into the room, one-by-one, and poor Tommy has a stricken look on his face because Amber is not among them.

The beauties walk out, looking very sultry and gorgeous. It's cute to see the geeks' jaws drops. In the confessional room, Cara the aspiring soap star admits that she can't tell time. Leticia, confessionals that...

Last week, we met the nine male geeks and nine female beauties of season 5 of Beauty and the Geek who will begin their quest to become more than just beauties or more than just geeks, and perhaps winning $250,000 while they're at it. This season, instead of competing in beauty/geek pairs, it will be a battle of beauty versus geek. Which beauties and which geeks have the potential to make the biggest transformation? Who has what it takes to make it all the way? Well, it's too early to say. All we really know about them is what we've gathered from their pictures, their professions and their chosen monikers, but that's enough for me to make a preliminary analysis.

Below, I present to you my Beauty and the Geek Preseason Power Rankings of the geeks.
