Nate and Jennylee update February 11, 2007

Posted by Niels in : Beauty and the Geek , trackback


Having spent the past three days doing Beauty and the Geek publicity in Los Angeles with Jennylee, I had the opportunity to hear her answer one question over and over again. “Jennylee, are you and Nate still together?” And from the comments on the blog, it appears as though people here want to know, too.

So for those of you who missed the evening news, the morning news, Fox Reality Remix, and at least 10-15 different reality TV fansites, I guess I can clear it up. Jennylee has said that, as Nate is at Harvard and she is in LA, it just wasn’t possible to maintain a romantic relationship. But she and Nate are still close friends, they talk on the phone all the time, and they agree that it’s really really weird to see such personal moments broadcast nationally.

So are Jennylee and Nate still together? :-D

2. Isi - February 11, 2007

Niels? PLEASE tell me…will there be a television reunion show of any sorts?

3. Niels Fan - February 11, 2007

Is there anyway I can see the interviews? Maybe on youtube?

4. Milton - February 11, 2007

I cannot imagine how tired you guys must be from all the repetative questions!

5. Christie - February 11, 2007

I think they will get back together eventually.
Now I feel really stupid for telling Nate I wish them luck >_

6. Denise - February 11, 2007

I feel bad for them. I guess if it was meant to be they’ll get back together.

7. Danielle B. - February 11, 2007

Thanks for posting because I was wondering that and I actually got the news from here, lol.

8. kay - February 12, 2007

is this really Niel.
sorry that this comment has really nothing to do with the post.

9. Cathy :] - February 12, 2007

Hey Niels :]
I don’t believe it
Anywho, I like you better than Jennylee
I didn’t like her even in the beginning :P

10. Been There - February 12, 2007

What a load of crap. I figure she was just camera whoring, knowing that a “relationship” would get her more face time.

I met my husband while visiting a foreign country (USA). We long distanced it for 7 months, then I moved here. If it’s right, it’s right. Not wanting to put the time, effort, or sacrifice into a long distance relationship (Especially considering school isn’t forever!) is very telling

11. D o c t a M i k e - February 12, 2007

I don’t know whose decision that was, but from what I picked up from Nate, he’s not exactly the type to pass something like that up. He made several comments in the confessional leaning towards the fact it would be J-Lee’s call, not to mention his entire behavior over the course of taping the show.

No worries. If she’s too blind and passes up what could be a quality relationship, Nate’s got close to 4k and counting girls that would die for a chance to jump his bones.

Keep in mind, we’re merely the public though, and really have no insight into their true feelings and relationship besides what the CW and others want to feed us in the editing process. This could all be complete fubar, but we’d never be the wiser.

And another thing: Yeah, I’m sure it is frightfully weird to see something so personal displayed for an entire nation’s viewing pleasure, but that is the price you pay for fame and being on a reality show in the first place. If I personally had such a strong emotional connect with another individual that I met under such circumstances, I would want to tell the whole world about our relationship. Camera or no camera, feelings don’t change, and all parties involved just have to deal with it and move on with their lives.

12. urcute - February 12, 2007

ur cute

13. Jenae - February 14, 2007

I can understand them not being together because of their location. It makes me really happy that they are staying friends though. I hope all of you stay friends. Most of you had a chemistry together that made the show so additing to watch.

14. Rocio - February 15, 2007

I got to say Nate looked better with his long hair! althoug he still looks good I think he looked better before

15. arielle - February 15, 2007

i think jennylee was just leading poor nate on so she could get the romantic’ness’ that is most likely going to happen in any reality show, and thus more minutes focused on her. she is a lameass bitch. :)

16. Rod - February 15, 2007

Niels…hook me up with Jenny Lee! hahhahah

17. haley - February 17, 2007

it sucks that there nt together anymore. I kinda liked JennyLee and Nate although at first i wanted u and JennyLee to hook up, bt it all worked out. I hope Nate gets back with her. hey…….. Neils u think we could hook up . by the way im a nred tooo!!!!>ur mad cute

18. Suse - February 17, 2007

Hey! So what happens to Scooter and Megan?!?!??!?! Seemed like that hey got along very well. Are they just friends or more????

19. Fred - February 19, 2007

Was JennyLee paid bonus to “cozy up” to Nate? Didn’t a similar thing happen in the last Beauty & the Geek between Cher and Wes?

20. chad - February 19, 2007

for some reason i think you should be with nadia. It seems like you two would fit well together.

21. Niels - February 19, 2007

No, JennyLee wasn’t paid to “cozy up” to Nate. And Cher and Wes dated for almost a year after their season wrapped, so I would be very very surprised to hear that any money was involved.

22. Vince - February 21, 2007

Hey Niels,
Just got done watching the BATG marathon. I watched the very first season and havent seen any others until i “bumped” into this one.

First of all, I think you standing your ground on your elimination decision was good for you AND Jennylee. Its always good to learn that you cant always have your way just cuz your gorgeous.

Second, its great that your new found confidence is paying off in both your social and enterprising endeavors. I was a nerd, not so much a geek in H.S. and when I came back from college, all of a sudden the same girls that shunned me were all of a sudden attracted to me…and I didnt change a bit. Goes to show how much an increase in self esteem projects to other people.

And finally, when you see Jennylee, do all of us a favor. Just tell her how much ALL of us out here want her to keep that space in her heart open for Nate. Sure Im married now, but very similar situations happened to me in my life that happened to Nate with Jennylee. In high school, a girl friend of a friend of mine who was: student body president, band leader, homecoming queen and soooo cute actually let it slip that she wanted to go out with me. I was like Nate; “me?”. I was so surprised and in awe too. Why would such a hottie want me? And the answer was the same Jennylee gave. A great personality, great sense of humor and someone she knew she could trust and make her feel safe. Im glad to say the same thing happened to me later in life and now Im married to a hottie that caught me by surprise too. Just tell Jennylee this: Listen to her heart. There are LOTS of guys out there in L.A. and Vegas who will make her intellect feel good, but women are rarely wrong when it comes to the “vibes” she feels for someone. Do the guys in L.A. make her giddy as much as Nate after all this time? Sure Frankie has $$, but does he give you those vibes? Tell Jennylee fame is fleeting, fortune is fleeting, beauty is fleeting, but to be with the one you’re destined to be with, is an incredibly beautiful and lasting love. Tell Jennylee to listen to her hero her mom about what will make her ultimately happy, and listen to her grandmother for the same lessons of life. Hell, if Rob and Amber can do it, they can too. Joking. As a hopeless romantic that many of us nerds, dorks and geeks are, it would sure be a wonderful fairy tale Hollywood ending.

23. Jill - February 24, 2007

Aw… I’m so sad, I was really hoping it would work out for them. I’m a huge Nate/Jennylee fan! I agree with Christie, I think it was meant to be and they’ll get back together eventually.

24. cronky - February 25, 2007

They were so cute in the show. I just watched the “Behind the Scenes” thingy, and they seemed really happy to see each other again. I think they WILL get back together. Maybe she’ll join Harvard…;)jks…

25. Mathew - February 28, 2007

if this show were real, and they actually cared about eachother, they’d make an effort.

29. FusionOrchid - March 23, 2007

Hey Neil!!!

I LOVE YOUR T-SHIRT!!!! the one that says “white people can’t read this”. by the way, did you know that it said that??? Because when i first saw you, you looked pretty chinese to me, and also, i can’t really tell ethnic backgrounds too well. No offence to anyone.

30. batg3rox - April 1, 2007

is it going to be possible ever that theyll be together?

35. Jennylee - May 26, 2007

I don’t get to watch much tv but just out of curiosity typed my name in google, Jennylee. It came up with this. I am sure if I looked like this my hubby would enjoy his trophy wife LOL.

Jennylee

36. azhar(from singapore) - May 28, 2007

37. Minttu - May 29, 2007

hello, i’m from finland and just watched Beauty & Geek season 3 and I was so excited about the “relationship” between Jennylee and Nate.
I was SHOCKED to hear that Jennylee is dating frankie muniz.. OMG.
So i really hope now that Nate finds somebody who’s for real. :)

38. sarah - June 8, 2007

if jennylee is dating frankie muniz now then she is a FRICKIN BITCH THAT SHOULD REALLY JUST DIE.
peace and love! :)

39. SK(Singapore) - June 12, 2007

OMG, Her and Frankie Muniz, My Gosh, Love is really blind.
Wish them all the best.
And I can’t wait for next season man!

40. wtf - June 14, 2007

wait
not jenny lee

frankie’s engaged to jamie
wtf man!

41. Arzli - June 21, 2007

Niels, If you could, For the hope of all geeks or normal people out there, Talk some sense into Jennylee. Her being together with Nate brings a lot of hope for a lot of people. I was so glad they were so happy with each other. When i heard that they’re not going to stay together, i just feel broken inside.

42. SK(Singapore) - June 21, 2007

well that’s life man
girls are that materialistic
they go for everything else except the heart
well i was kinda happy that they found each other
and yes we all feel sad they don’t gt together
but that’s that
face it
if they don’t like each other
then its said and done
end of story
but…
some day they;’ll realise
what she’s been missing
and then it will be too lateee
muahahahah

43. Arzli - June 21, 2007

But don’t you see? Dont you see? im sad because they are not together when they’re so good together AND im sad because it must have been a devastating blow for Nate. Ok sure he was skeptical at first about her liking him, but after that he was into it head on, like he said he leapt into it. For such a big hearted guy like him, to have his heart somewhat broken like that, people like you and me from singapore can hear it shatter. Jennylee may have done it for reasons she thought was good at that time. But if they end up together, forever, it would really bring me hope. As it did when they united in the show. Ah but you’re telling me i need to face reality blah blah. I shall, but im just torn up right now, for Nate.

44. SK(Singapore) - June 21, 2007

He’ll meet someone better
as the saying goes
they’re plenty of fishes in the sea
and i mean PLENTY!
we all feel sad
i mean i did
after i watched the show
i was like
fuck man why she so stupid and don’t want to be with nate
ya la
my heart a bit tia la for nate
they say that they too far
one in harvard one in LA
very difficult to maintain
aiya in singapore also same situation ma
no fairy tale
outside country also same sia
damn cocked up one
sometimes cannot get hopes up to high
aiya maybe in the future they may get tgt
when nate finish his degree
i mean u never know
eh now den u watch BATG ar?
slow man
hehe =D

45. Arzli - June 21, 2007

Wah, i admit i’m singaporean then all your singlish come out la?
Channel 5 stupid la now then show what, mondays at night. F**ked.
But what you say is true. He just finished college and is going for a one year masters. Then 2 years of teaching i think. I hope i really hope they’ll get together. I dunno. Its sort of like, If they get together, then there’s hope for people like me.

Btw how you watch so fast? i stayed up till 6 am finishing the season yesterday night online. Fell in love with Nate & Jennylee being together.

PS : Niels i haven’t forgot about you! If you’re spreading love through dating then bless you! I’m a devout David DeAngelo reader too! Cheers!

46. SK(Singapore) - June 21, 2007

48. mike - September 17, 2007

NIELS. Please hook me up with Jennylee. She is a goddess. She is an amazing woman. My heart melts for her.

49. Frankie - October 30, 2007

Season 3 just started here in the Philippines, so pardon my comment being somewhat obsolete.

It’s nice to know that Jenny and Nate are still good friends. Considering that this post is already several months old, I just wish this is still true up to now. c”,)m

i hated ceci for pissing u off.. she’s so materialistic.. it doesn’t make any sense.. she may be beautiful outside, but on d inside she’s beyond disgusting.. she’s a type that will not find true happiness in life and soon she will receive negative karmas because of her attitude.. don’t woryy niels.. you’ll have better future than her..

54. dee - November 6, 2007
