Beauty and the Geek

[keeptrying]

Anybody but me watching this? It's on WB. It's about seven beautiful but "academically impaired" women and they are paired with seven brilliant but "socially challenged" men. The teams compete in tasks for 250,000 for the winning couple.

It was a little lame but there's nothing else on so I watched it. It was entertaining over all some of the guys are TOTAL geeks and some of the girls are almost unbelievable dumb. Such as one did not know who the president was during the civil war and another was asked if SD or NC was farther south and she answered SD!!!!

Oh my those girls were so dumb. I can't believe that one girl spelled tattoo wrong. She spelled it tatoo.

I thought the show was great, but what I liked best about it was how respectful the team members are of each other. There was no snarky commenting going on in the confessional interviews, they were cheering each other on in their various competitions - it was really a switch from other "mismatch" shows like Average Joe. This one seems to actually be heartwarming.

Richard's Napoleon Dynamite dancing was hilarious, I was glad he won the dance competition. That one girl who answered Hoover as the president during the Civil War did crack me up -- especially when she was given the correct answer and she snapped her fingers and said, "That's right! D-Day!"

Oh I didn't know it started yet...

I think all the guys have potential except for Richard. He's about as nerdy as they come. I feel sorry for the short, blond guy because he always seems so nervous.

Is he the one that his partner is after one of the other guys? I really feel sorry for him beause I think he liked her and plus he feels left out now because none of the other girls are spending time with other guys. He got a bum deal.

I didn't think that I would like this show but I really do!

That's him. I feel sorry for him too. Maybe as time goes on he can start hanging out with some of the other people.

i think people were respectful of each other because they were on tv. i doubt all of them (so i'm not saying all of them would be rude)...would be that sweet if they'd met on the streets.

but, i thought it was good still.

edit...nvm...it's taht short blonde boy that i think is pretty interesting. hehe

Maybe she was talking about the guy from Fantasy Island??

 

[Oblivious]

It was a little lame but there's nothing else on so I watched it.

LOL - same reason I watched it.

I thought it was lame, so I doubt I'll watch it again.

 

[suzybeezy]

I'm watching tonight for the first time. It is a little silly. Kind of reminds me of Joe Schmo. But when there's nothing else on, you lower your standards a bit. But there were a few humorous spots.

i heard ashton kutcher is the producer of the show!

I looked on the internet and yes he is the producer or at least one of them. I think most people are watching it because there is nothing else on. I didn't think last night was as good as the first episode and that one geek----- I think his name is Richard? (the REALLY geeky one that tries to be funny) he has got TO GO SOON.

 

[keeptrying]

I was so hoping Richard would be gone, that little guy gets on everyones nerves but I like the girl he is paired up with. They keep getting picked for elimination because of him and she does not deserve that. I think the best looking of the geeks got voted off, he didn't look all that geeky to me

 

[* kittie *]

ya...richard gets on my nerves. the girl is pretty cool though..

 

[Lil Miss]

I cant wait to see next weekes episodes becuase apparently the men get makeovers! I want to see how they look after they are all done up!

 

[CarrieAg93]

Do you think there's any hope for Richard?

 

[Lil Miss]

well I personally dont see all the guys as looking HORRIBLE. They all look just fine, but the way the dress could be classified as "geeky". So I think that if Richard was to get rid of the glasses and big hair, and throw on a nice outfit, he would look alright!

 

[CarrieAg93]

I think the biggest thing that makes the guys "geeky" is their lack of confidence in social situations.
