Beauty vs. the Geek

I watched the season premiere of Beauty and the Geek. I’ve never watched this show before, so this is new for me. Apparently, this year, they are changing it up and it’s going to be Beauty versus the Geek, as opposed to other years when it was set up in teams of a Beauty with a Geek.

Question: How do they find such stupid pretty girls? Are all pretty girls stupid?

And why did Ashton Kutcher develop this show? (clearly, he’s more than just a beauty, the guy must be worth millions) Did he ever see himself as a geek trying to attract beauties?

These guys are almost cute in a geeky way. Oh, right. What scares me with a show like this is how people aren’t afraid to act like idiots and embarrass themselves on national TV. I could never do it.

As for the girls, yes they are pretty, but how can they be so stupid. They’re pretending, right?

My first thought is that the geeks will win, mostly because everyone knows how difficult it is to get a bunch of women to work together without discord. Especially a bunch of dumb women who think they are all that. Although girls like to talk a lot, so they will at least communicate.

The first challenge is to get phone numbers from strangers. Sending these guys out to a bar to get phone numbers from opposite sex doesn’t seem fair but, of course, they are leveling the playing field by giving the beauties a “make under” so they won’t be able to rely on their looks. Some of the girls looked really bad, but a couple weren’t too awful.

Question: Why can’t they just tell people it’s a contest and they need to collect as many phone numbers as possible to win? I would.

I guess I identify more with the geeks, because I’m not much of a one for loud parties and mixing with strangers. Also, I fast forwarded through the chick fight, cause I can’t stand that kinda crap. Maybe I’m just more like a guy.

The beauties won the challenge, which seemed probable from the beginning, because even if they are ugly, they still have better social skills than the guys do.

The chicks pick five guys to go into the elimination room where they get an elimination quiz question. I remembered the chick’s number, too, does that make me really geeky? Actually, I answered all of the questions before they did, so I win!

Well, after one episode, I find that I just don’t care enough about these people to keep watching, so its doubtful that I will.

About Watching The CW

The CW was born in September 2006, and inherited a mixture of programming from its parents the WB and UPN. The CW has a diverse line up from Monday night comedy to Friday Night Smackdown. In between the laughs and the wrestling are alternate reality or fantasy based shows (Supernatural, Smallville), ones that are fit to bursting with bright young things (Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill) and don't forget all the wannabes trying to make it in reality programming (The Beauty & the Geek, America's Next Top Model, Pussy Cat Dolls). This blog will review, recap, share spoilers and other cool finds related to the CW's programming.
