Beauty and the Geek's Big Twist: America Votes!
Many of you guessed it in a past poll -- the big Beauty and the Geek twist is that YOU get to decide. And we think it's fitting. Elimination room challenges don't always ensure that the most deserving team wins (prime example: William and Jen sticking around as long as they did), but this way, we think the right team will earn the BATG crown. Have you voted yet? Who'd you vote for (you can cast your vote here if you haven't already)? Tell us!
But first, before the big news, the teams met each others families on a hometown visit remniscent of the penultimate Bachelor episodes! The episode was mostly filler, but that didn't mean it wasn't fun. Jasmine and Dave LARPED with his Boston-area Quest buddies! Nicole sang Debussy for Sam... and he took her to the gym and to hang out with his bro Tequila Joe (and treated us to a priceless rendition of their Matrix dance). Then we got lots of softly-lit piano-accompanied confessionals about how each of them's been changed by his/her partner.
While all four of the remaining competitors have earned their spot in the finals, we felt like Dave and Jasmine's journey has been far more rewarding and shown immense growth. Nicole is awesome, but has she really changed that much? She says Sam's gotten her to lighten up, but have we really seen much evidence of that? She seems about the same, but with hair extensions and a nice makeup job. And Sam just doesn't convince us when he says Nicole has changed him. How has she changed him? He's still a fake-tanning, tequila-drinking gym addict.
Yeah, we'll just say it -- Dave and Jasmine have our vote. And we'd imagine they have America's vote, too. But you tell us. Have you voted yet? Who'd you vote for? Who do you think will win? Cast your vote here if you haven't already!

I too like both of the teams but I also like Dave and Jasmine. I may be out of line saying this but I think even though they are friends, I think it would be cute if they gave dating a shot :)

I believe that Dave and Jasmine should win because they are the team that has learned the most from one another. Jasmine grew on Dave and even after knowing he didn't want her as a partner in the beginning she still smiled and accepted Dave. I believe that they have become the closes and have evolved from their experiecnes togehter.

Morgana, I forgot about that one! Another great line from Nicole.

I love Dave and Jazzy I hope they win. They have such a cute relationship. You can tell by looking at them that they are great friends and have learned alot from each other.
I also like Nicole, but Sam is an actor not a club promoter and because of this, I feel that they should not win. Actors can memorize lines which in my opinon allowed Sam to memorize his material and was able to win all of those challenges. If you dont belive me here are some of his roles he has played.
show/charecter
Grace Under Fire/ Quentin
Accepted/ Mike Welsh
Veronica Mars/ Brian 'Pop' Popovich
and so on ....

I want sam and nicole to win and that's simply because they've been targeted from the beggining. They have worked together and come this far and therefor they deserve to win.

The best comment was none of the thre you posted. It was Nicole explaining to Sam that you get an endorphin rush from chocolates, as well as exercise, and that's why she looks like she does and he looks like he does.
That's a comment many of us can relate to!

Don't get me wrong I love both teams, I love the two jasmine and dave. Jasmine came along way, She's a real sweetheart, so is dave. I 'm glade they were paired up together.

I like Dave and Jasmine. They deserve to win because she looks like the girl next door, and he looks like a big teddy bear. Though Sam and Nicole have worked hard so as not be eliminated because all the other teams wanted them out, they have not changed that much compared to Dave and Jasmine. This show is a social experience-a beauty and a geek who can change drastically in the end. I believe that Dave and Jasmine have embraced what the show is about. I have been watching this show since the first season and the team that have changed the most has always won.

I want Sam and Nicole to win because they worked very hard to get to the finals and Sam is do HOT!!!!

I think that Jasmine and Dave should win. They went from two people who barely spoke to a winning team. They came from behind and kicked butt!!They both truly put their hearts into it.

Sam is so full of himself. He thinks he is God's gift to humankind. He date raped one of the contestants. He
cares nothing about any human being besides himself. Nichole is an overly serious spineless wimp. I was so disgusted when she just went with Sam's decision to keep Jen and her partner in. These two have so not moved out of any of the gender cliches that is one of the main points of the show for me. It will be so pathetic if this pair wins!
Thanks to CW11 for letting us vote!!! Someone is paying attention.
And I can't wait to see josh and shay on the show again next week!!

Jasmine & Dave rule by far...Dave didnt like Jas at first, but as cute & silly as she is, she grew on him. That alone, deserves a vote. Best team, best team players. Good luck to ya..

Nicole didn't do much any way and this Sam guy I've seen him in a couple movies. Go Dave & Jasmine

I want Sam and Nicole to win. Because I am a geeky girl, like her, well not anymore she inspired me to be a true hottie. Now I have a modeling career.

I want Sam and Nicole to win because they had to work the hardest. In order to stay in it til the end they had to win everything otherwise they definiately would have gone in to the elemination room. It makes it kinda of hard to judge how well they grew but ...no offense meant to Sam.... he's doesn't look like the kinda person that just knows the stuff he had to do. I'm sure he had to study just as hard if not harder than the girls to ensure he was going to be able to beat them.
