Beauty and the Geek (WB) - Page 7

I love it! It's especially fun to watch the tables turned on the beauties, because every other reality show pretty much uses shallow ditzes as models for American women. This one does too, but it also exposes the fact that these models don't know where South Dakota is! Bwwaahhhahah.

I also loved the show. Maybe it is becuase I consider myself a geek as well. The girls all seemed very nice and not condescending at all, which was nicely unexpected. The guys seem a little too obsessed with how hot the girls are instead of judging them on personality which is how they would want to be judged.

Most of the guys are very cute and probably do not deserve the geek moniker. I find it very hard to believe that some of them have never been on a date or kissed a girl. Being that smart and that cute would equal a marriage proposal in my mind.

I watched and loved this show too! And I agree that they shouldn't eliminate people from a social experiment. So basically, I have nothing new to add to this conversation, except maybe that the MC bugged, but not so much as to detract from the show.

I'm reading the newspaper, and there's an article about the VP of the Dukes of Hazard Institute, which isn't our favorite geek here - but some 28 y/o that is pulling in $100,000 for his title (and blog for CMC)

so how much can this VP of the fan club pull in? Probably a good amount

But I'll be watching next week.

Sad thing is that the dumb beauties actually represent a large portion of the US!

Oh bummer!!!

Why won't it be covered?

And how does the forum mods determine what show will and will not be covered?

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I liked the fact that it didn't have a romantic spin on it. You know the girls would have had their noses out of joint. Teaming up and helping each other could produce solid friendships.

My only issue is that the stated purpose is to give the prize money to the team that has been able to change/grow the most during the show. However...if teams are able to pick off competition we may not actually get to see who would/could get the most out of it.

I kinda wish that it really was a social experiment and each team accumulated points and at the end the team in the lead wins.

Am I really taking this to be more than the producers intended? Probably eh? Sorry.

I just didn't get why they had to share a bed. I thought that was a bit out of line.

Great idea Downsey. I kept thinking how could they stay on the entire time and that is it. They could gain points. I'm excited that there are so many out there that are enjoying this show. Gives me something to talk about.

I too wish we could have a thread on the main board for this show.

I think there will be plenty to talk about.

Maybe our mods will tune in and decide that it is worthy of a recap.
