Mindi Emanuel, hey? What IS her middle name? I'm sure everyone knows now.

So how has this fansite come about? (Not that there's much on here...yet)

This is how it started.
I got all these TV episodes from my friend. There were a few there. Sitcoms, Britney reality crap, Top Gear (yeah!)...mostly American crap that we don't get here in Australia until a few months later. So I check through them. Beauty and the Geek, hey? Hmmm, sounds interesting. Social experiment hey?
First impressions...
Damn, they're hot!
Man, they're geeky! (Chuck's nosebleeds. Hahahaha. I laughed for minutes. And Richard's pants - I couldn't get more ill-fitting pants if I tried).

A couple of episodes later, I'm hooked. I ended up watching all six episodes in two sittings. Even the girlfriend got hooked. The characters just draw you in. It makes you think just how divided society is. There's a bit of geekiness in all of us. You can't help but feel empathetic.

But anyway, this site isn't about the show. It's all about you, Mindi. You're the one who:
1. Tolerated Richard for the entire series (well done!).
2. Looked spectacular throughout. (you did the Beauties proud).
3. Isn't as dumb as dogsh*t (but, like all of us, I'm sure you have you're moments). Can anyone spell 'Tattoo'?

I didn't actually notice Mindi until later in the series because Richard always stole the limelight. Then I thought, "Wow, she's actually very attractive and (I'll say it again) she puts up with Richard. She's gotta be a decent girl."

I'll probably watch the series again and pay more attention. I was quite dissappointed that the reunion didn't show much of Mindi, even though she was voted most popular beauty.

Right now, I know nothing about Mindi. What I do know, is that she'll probably end up being famous. you know how you get that gut feeling about someone. That's why I decided to create this site. Just in case.

So if you know Mindi, or better still, you ARE Mindi (the real one), drop me a line and tell me stuff. I'd love to know more, and so would your growing fan base. Don't forget to send pictures, even the ones you regretted doing on Campus a couple of years ago (joking!).

If you're a fan, send me an email at fan(at)mindiemanuel.net (replace the (at) with @) and I'll post your comment (after I check for appropriateness).
I reserve the right to choose what I do or do not post on this site, and I'll do it when I damn well please. I've got a life too, you know. No, really I do.

If anyone wants to know about me...tough luck. It ain't about me. ;) (Maybe later)

Mindi represented more than beauty on this show. She was nice throughout. I imagine that she is a warm, and caring person. I notice that she majored in special education. This indicates something of her desire to help others. I can understand her desire for a Hollywood career. Back in the silent screen era Clara Bow was labeled as “The It Girl” because whatever “it” was, sex appeal, wholesomeness, whatever “it” was that made for star appeal, Clara Bow had “it”. Mindi has “it”.

You go girl!

I went to school with Mindi and had many classes with her.

Her b-day is July 25th She is now dating Brian McFayden, the host from the show. They live together in LA. I haven't talked to her for three weeks or so, but last time I talked to her, she was talking about the possibility of an engagement soon.

She tried out for some show on E!, but still didn't know if she got the part. She used to be a physical therapy major, but her grades were suffering from the hard classes (physics, chemisty, etc). She didn't want to get put on probation with her sorority (since you have to keep a 2.5), so she switched to special education.

She was an Alpha Delta Pi.

She worked at Longhorn Steakhouse in Columbia, MO.

She has blonde hair now, and has always had blonde hair since I have known her.

Her brunette hair was a 7-month phase.

Mindi,
Hi my name is Jay and i'm from ohio go OSU. I watched your show while i was overseas in the Marine Corps. You girls keep our morale hi over there. I didn't miss one episode u should have won. I have one request and i'm not sure what you can do but anything would help. I can't believe i'm even doing this it's so not like me but i'm confident and people say hot but oh well. I believe there is someone out there for everyone and i found her on your show. I was wondering if you keep in contact with any of the girls on the show? I want to meet krystal tini. I know it's a long shot but i'd figured u may be able to help? I know this sounds crazy but i'm confident we would be the perfect match. I can't believe i'm even doing this but i'm confident. I just want to find away to send her my picture i know i wouldn't disappoint. This is so unlike me but anything you can do to help would be awesome.

Jay

Having watched Beauty and the Geek for the 2nd time, I noticed that Mindi looks like someone who would fit any WB show. They should give her a part on something. I think she could turn out to be a very good actress.

Wow, this is incredible; I knew I wasn’t the only one…

I too found Mindi attractive, and I was SURE I wasn’t the only one.

On the show, she proved to be a very patient and genuine person. I was reading articles over the internet and I read that you were going to pursue a career in acting. I think it’s a great idea and you should go ahead and continue with that dream, ‘cause I know you’d be a very successful actress, Look at you now, you’ve only had to appear in 6 episodes and already you have a fan site. You were definitely the most attractive girl amongst all the others on the show and actually one of the most attractive I’ve ever seen in my life!

Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on a job well done on the show! You really got a lot of people hooked on the show and I want to wish you good luck!

Good Job to the person who built this fan site! :D I was hoping someone would make something like this.

Hi,
I watched Beauty & the Geek, and really enjoyed the show. What made it fantastic for me was Mindi. I found she was the most beautiful girl on the show, and at the same time had so much knowledge. I felt she really stuck out from all the other girls on the show. I agree with what is said on the website, she will definitely become a celebrity if she isn’t one already. All I can say is Well Done Mindi, and WOW you are GORGEOUS!!!!

Hi Mindie fan
Here another Mindie fan from over the ocean.
Here the show finished 4 weeks ago so we're a little behind.
I think Mindie is a beautiful girl with a lot more potenciël then what she thinks. She won 3 elimination round and all to her doing. She's a lot cleverer then we all think. It's too bad that she didn't win but I think in her head she won.
It was to bad that Richard didn't knew her middle name.
I had to tape the reunion and missed the last part so I didn'tget everything but I thought she was in the picture quite some time, not enough maybe but still.
If you ever see her tell her these things and say that she's a lot more than a beautiful body and that she should be proud off here self for what she achived.

Hey Mindi,
I was unaware that there was even a show "Beauty and the Geek". I saw it for the first time about a day or two ago, and I just have to say that you are about the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I don't even know what it is that you do for a living or why they chose you to be on the show, but they got one thing right, You are a Beauty.

Hi Mindi!

Hi Mindi,
I was inspired by your ability to be confident in rather chaotic situations, your intellect, and your seemingly obvious beauty. You should be an inspiration to women all around America and people that you interact with on an everyday basis because you are remarkable. The main reason that I felt obligated to write to you had to do with my own struggle trying to find the right woman. It is great to know that there are women out there with your potential and character. I do not hope this goes on your fansite blog or anything, but I just felt like I wanted to express how much, whether you realize or not, you've changed my perspective. Any response would be greatly appreciated and best of luck on your acting career.
Sincerely,
Geoff
