David versus David. Cook versus Archuleta. The High School Student versus The Rocker. We're a week away from the American Idol Finale that we've been cruising toward for at least two months.

No Sweat(er): Tommy and Amanda Win 'Beauty and the Geek'

The finale of the fifth season of "Beauty and the Geek" was bittersweet since the show most likely won't come back, seeing how The CW didn't opt to renew it due to failing ratings. Fans of the show were disenchanted that the first few episodes tinkered with the "social experiment" formula -- instead of pairing up the beauties with the geeks to foster tolerance, this season kicked off with the beauties vying against the geeks. Not cool.

Even though her House character is a respected doctor and hospital administrator, there's a very logical reason for how Lisa Edelstein came to be dressed in a schoolgirl uniform and working a stripped pole in this Monday's (May 12) episode. Well, at least there's a somewhat logical explanation.
