On the CW on Tuesdays at 8! Nerdy guys and hot ditzy girls trying to change for the better! While backstabbing each other or alternatively making out!
Anyone else watch this? For a reality show with a prize, I think it's much better than things like The Bachelor or Joe Millionaire, because it takes the romance element out of it and makes the competition all about bettering yourself and expanding out of your comfort zones. For the guys this is in the social arena and for the girls this is realizing they can develop other skills besides looking pretty and getting breast implants.
In the end though, it still is a reality show. And every season someone ends up making out in the house.
So what do we think?
Also, this season they threw in a "nerdy girl" and a hot guy. However, the hot guy is actually an actor (here's his imdb page: http://imdb.com/name/nm0395353/ the picture has been taken off of it since the last time I visited but it's definitely him) and the nerdy girl has also been rumored to be an actress. Lame?

It could all be a big charade, but I especially liked how last season the one guy sabotaged his team's chances at winning because his partner was a total bitch who hadn't learned anything at all.
Sometimes I'm amazed people THAT geeky actually exist though :P
That is pretty lame if the inverse couple is actors though.
Wasn't a guy on these very forums on that show? I seem to recall something to that effect, and how they were encouraged to act as weird/geeky as possible.
But the show is quite enjoyable, I agree.
I started watching it a couple episodes in and was hooked because, for the most part, it was so ridiculous. I likely won't be following this season though.
It was Nate and Jenni Lee that got me last season. Nate was awesome, especially at the end.
Wow I had never heard that before... I remember some guy from these forums was on Amazing race though.
And one guy that seriously needs to be broken of his LARPing habits.
That makes me sad.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
Hahaha I love how even in the intro he's standing there with his sword like some kind of badass.
He was a guy who wore a plastic hood or something upon the request of the producers/directors.
On the "reality TV" side of things, "Cheaters" is totally fake. My friend's sister's boyfriend (that sounds tenuous when I type it out) was "caught" by the show. He showed us the DVD of the episode and everything. It was probably real right up until the host got stabbed, then they started faking it.
He had an awesome convo with his partner last episode. The beauties were supposed to learn anatomy.
Geek: Yeah that could be where the pancreas is.
Beauty: Why don't you know this! I don't know this stuff, I'm just a babysitter that used to be a cheerleader.
Geek: I'm not a biology kind of guy, I'm more of a physical sciences kind of guy.
Beauty: But this IS physical! It's your body!!!
Geek: Point taken.
That would be Manifest, and he shamed us all.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
I was laughing pretty hard when they asked them to identify the left earlobe, and a couple of them got it wrong.
I can't remember his name, but that guy "beauty" seems like a total tool. Now that you mention him being an actor, it definitely seems like he's doing his best to fulfill every stereotype about muscular party boy types.
The show is most enjoyable when they're farther along and as the women get to know the men better, they start to realize their hobbies aren't so odd, and the men start to realize that the women aren't just braindead models (in most cases). It's probably lame of me but I like the makeover part too, just because it shows how dramatically you can change your appearance and alter people's perceptions of you.
I think what I love about the show so much is that I know a person like each of the geeks, and it just makes me laugh.
Wait...wait...what? That's the first I heard of this. I love Amazing Race; who was he? My first guess is one half of Season 9's Team Nerd, but I have no freaking idea. That's incredible!
