Beauty & the Geek.

Rage

So, I'm bored with the Mariners game and start flipping channels.

Oh hey, what's this Beauty and the Geek business?

The synopsis thus far:

- Somewhat hot, definitely retarded girls...like they're huffing hairspray on purpose.

- A staggering array of ultra-nerd the likes of which I've never seen...and keep in mind I did not attend PAX.

My early reaction is I want the chick in the pigtails to geek out or go play D&D...whatever the winning "beauty" does at the end of this horrible thing. I also want all the Geeks to win at least a date or a kiss or some social skill. Someone tell me that happens at the end of this.


Guys. This cannot be real. It's both fascinatingly entertaining and painfully awkward to watch these bumbling twits become the punchline.


Should I change the channel? y/n

Jordyn

Yes.

Jordyn

They don't try to make the girls nerdier, they try to make them smarter.

They teach them things like...how to add, and read.

Rage

I can't do it.


He's juggling now. And the last dude shot a cup off the chick's head with a rubber band.


Jordyn...hon...they were LARP'ing a minute ago.

Swallow your television

Pony

I find these shows fascinating

but then

I also watch Flava of Love

the willful exploitation of the foolish and ignorant amuses me

Rage

Well that's cool. I really and honestly hope some of these chicks are nice, and willing to learn some stuff.

God bless Joshua. He's my favorite nerd so far.

Josh's mom just gave him a shout-out. Christ that's priceless.

Little Jim

reality tv is almost as bad as getting the aids

Talon

hey that's not a nice thing to say about The Geek's wedding

I heard it was quite nice actually

Jordyn

oh man, so we were watching part of the Biggest Loser the other day (Fram at some point asked why and I said because this channel comes in the best). Early on there's a fat lady talking about how sad she is and how everytime people tell her she's fat or ugly she never forgets it.

And Fram says "That's two things you have in common with elephants."

NotASenator

Eat the damn television.

Eat it whole

Fiz

This is on at the same time as the biggest loser. It is a lot easier to work out to fat people working out than shallow girls talking down to their intellectual superiors.

Druhim

how revolutionary

this season one of the beauties is a dude and one of the geeks is a chick

my god, how did they conceive of such a brilliant scheme?

The assimilation has begun. Escape while you still can.

I don't like Jasmine. She needs to fall down in the shower.

Oh dude I already got this shit scheduled on the DVR. I'm doomed.


And there's no way I could eat this TV in one sitting, even with like a lot of ketchup. It's just too much.

I don't expect you to finish it. I just thought it would be a terribly interesting way to die.

Meissnerd

Have you guys seen that Mr. T show. I like it.

You wish my death and destruction of my TV.

Too mean.

Way too mean. :?

They did a marathon of season 2 the other day on mtv I think. It was so upsetting when that one girl got to the very end of the competition without really learning anything, and was walking around gloating about how the entire show is bogus.

And her geek was a great guy who never realized what a bitch she is until the last minute.

omega71

Holy shit what is the dude from Grace Under Fire doing as the "male beauty"...

Cojo Mojo

This show is addicting. Didn't watch the last season because all the chicks seemed like bitches. This season seems to be shaping up to be good. Hot, likable girls and equally enjoyable geeks. Jesus, when I saw that one of the geeks was a larper I knew I'd have to watch it just to see what he'll do.

Heh. Larpers.

Rage

He brought his LARP swords and had a LARP fight.

And he lost to the chick

And then he attributed the loss to the chick having the larger sword

satansfingers

i enjoy beauty and the geek far far more than any rational human being should

Poorochondriac

A buddy of mine got offered a gig writing for some upcoming Dick Clark-based reality show.

His response was something along the lines of "Man, I wish I knew the word 'no' in more languages."

thedude_frombaywatch

you watch the cw too? neato

Rage

Hey look at you, all breaking cell paddings and such.

bsjezz

i miss that show

in australia we're right now getting episodes of america's next top model from 2005

my thirst for reality tv with high production values cannot go unsatiated much longer

i need hosts with chiseled chins, hosts with boob jobs, product placement galore and reels and reels footage painstakingly edited into compelling drama

Belruel

oh man guys, i don't even watch TV anymore, well, except for hells kitchen and House M.D.; oh House, you're so cranky.

lostwords

I loved the first season, especially Richard.



I don't know if I have it in me to watch another season of this though. OK, thats a lie, i'll probably wait till they have a marathon on mtv or something, and waste an entire saturday watching the new season.

Rage

Oh Belruel, I fall in love with you more every day, however, I need you to watch Scrubs too.

Ok?

Ok.

Tonkka

I love it when the "beauties" start getting emotional over all of their prior misconceptions of the "geeks".

I guess I'm kind of vindictive that way... but at least they're learning something right?

I'm still laughing at this.

the geeks on this show are usually so bad that they could do nothing but reinforce the "beauties" misconceptions, that's why i don't understand the crying
