So many Beauty and the Geek exit interviews February 20, 2007
Posted by Niels in : Beauty and the Geek , 4 comments
I take off for Vegas bright and early this morning. Supposedly it’s for the cast party for the final episode, but since the network isn’t paying our way, it doesn’t sound like that many people are actually coming out. Oh well.
After that, I’m off for a week in LA where I’ll be leading an Art of Attraction and an Art of Rapport workshop. It’s going to be fun!
I’ll leave you with a few of the many, many exit interviews I had the opportunity to do after Jennylee and I got kicked out. Enjoy! (If you get bored, play the “how many times do they ask about Nate and Jennylee” game…)

It’s official, I’m all washed up. A reporter from the Washington Post contacted me a few weeks ago about doing a feature article on me and the Art of Rapport workshop in DC this weekend. Unfortunately, his editor lost all interest in the article today after hearing the season was over and I didn’t win. So that’s that - I’m no longer newsworthy.
It’s ok, though. I fully expect to be famous eventually, and next time it’ll be on my own merits.
Your thoughts?Thoughts on the Beauty and the Geek finale February 15, 2007

Whew! It’s been tough keeping my mouth shut all these months. What was I supposed to say when people asked me if I knew who won?
It was interesting watching the finale. This was the first episode that had any significant amount of footage that I hadn’t seen. I didn’t realize that the two final pairs had been led to believe they were going home after the night of the “fake” elimination! That was cool to see. I was also amused to see they included Scooter talking about Megan’s two years at community college but not her graduation from the University of Illinois, Chicago.
And of course, Nate is great. Maybe on Season 4 they’ll let the contestants award the money to an individual. It’s ok, though. I’m sure Nate will go far. Though I’m a little curious what the dynamic between him and Cecille will be like next week in Vegas. I’m sure she must have heard about his lobbying efforts already, but actually seeing it in full color does make it a lot more real.
And besides, as Scooter is now in LA breaking into acting, he’ll probably need that prize money just to cover rent.
That’s it for me, though! My reality TV stardom is fading fast. Nothing left but the clip show. I’ll continue offering dating and relationship advice as long as people keep reading - I’m as curious as you are how long that will be.
Your thoughts?Nate and Jennylee update February 11, 2007

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.
