Beauty and the Geek: Mike Richards Answers More of Your Questions

Mike RichardsI'm back with even more answers to your questions. Want more? Read past Q and As: part one and part two!

Is it sad that I think one of the geeks is hot? Jesse's so cute. -- Jenn

It is not sad… it is what the show is all about! Not only was Jesse’s makeover great, Jesse is a great guy. In my opinion, any girl would be lucky to go out with these guys. They are smart, funny and really caring.

I just wanted to let you know that, although I find your show entertaining, I hate the fact that you portray an idea that is so far from the truth. There are plenty of girls, at least in New York, who are both beautiful and smart.

Mike Richards Talks About The Beauty/Geek Twist... And The Rap

Mike Richards, host of Beauty and the Geek, shares behind-the-scenes scoop on the hottest topic this season: the girl geek and guy beauty. Why is she so dorky? What are his vainest habits (hint: one involves excessive hair removal)? And how does their presence shake up the house dynamics?

Plus, Mike talks more about tonight's episode, where Oscar-winning rappers Three Six Mafia ("It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp") judge the geeks' performances of an autobiographical rap. Ouch. We're nervous for them already, but apparently some of the geeks' inner MCs surface, and a few of them rock the challenge. Check out Jason C.'s chat with Mike for more Beauty and the Geek gossip!
