Woah, woah, how did I miss Season 5?


Apparently a Season 5 had already aired for Beauty and the Geek? How did I miss this? I'm a huge fan of the show! I don't remember seeing ANY advertising for it. Even the CW website still has stuff up for Season 4. Am I missing something? Please fill me in!

Yeah the CW barely advertised Season 5 when it premiered back in March. I didn't even know a new season was premiering till the very same day it premiered that I chanced upon it because I was channel surfing. Usually other Seasons were advertised weeks in advance but apparently not this one. And they practically only put commercials for the rest of the season on the very day the new episode premiered so someone who doesn't watch the CW often had little chance of knowing a new episode was coming.

The show also premiered at a really weird time that season, not a usual show premiere at all. I remember Season 1 was a summer season, Season 2 and Season 3 both premiered with the winter shows and Season 4 premiered with the fall shows, whereas Season 5 had a weird in between everything premiere in March.

And the CWtv website had ALL the season 5 stuff up back when it was airing new episodes but you're right, I just checked it out and they only have Season 4 stuff now. That must be because ever since Season 5 ended they've been reruning Season 4 now like if it's a brand new season so CWtv must have taken all the Season 5 stuff down.

Here's the season 5 myspace page if you're interested, it has pics of all the contestants and links to most of their myspace pages:

But if your a B&TG fan you didn't miss much, it was a craptacular season because the CW really screwed the show over (advertising apparently being one of the reasons) and most fans gave up on the season within 2 or 3 episodes into it. Either way, I'm sure the CW or MTV will rerun it soon enough. Maybe when CW finishes Season 4 they'll air Season 5 again, keep an eye on your local guide. Oh also, I watched most of the season on YouTube so you can check that out as well.

Well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
