| Beauty And The Geek  - from TheWB.com - Is anyone going to watch this Summer reality show? Alright ... discuss. First question: Sink or Swim? (Will the show last, or be cancelled)? For me it's too soon to tell ... Premise: It all starts with seven women who are academically impaired. Next, add seven men who are brilliant but socially challenged. The concept is to pair up couples for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize. Each mismatched pair competes in various activities designed to test intellect, fashion savvy and even dance moves. There's a spelling bee for the girls, massage lessons for the guys, and an introduction to actual rocket science when the girls compete to see who can build a working rocket. During these competitions, the geek must try to pass his brains onto the beauty, while the beauty tries to pull the game out of the geek. They're so far apart on the social spectrum that they're practically different species, but if they make it to the end, they could both walk away gifted and gorgeous. Link to the WB website to see the contestants/promos/etc. | |||

| I'm going to watch. It was already on my schedule but I heard Matt Roush on the radio this week and he said it's worth watching. I hope he's right. __________________ That internet thing, it's a fad. Reality TV Icons // Matt & Julie // Stanley & Mimi Avatar by doesnotsway @ LJ | |||

| I missed the first 20 minutes but I liked what I saw. I think they said they're repeating it tomorrow, so I'll try to tape it and catch what I missed. __________________ That internet thing, it's a fad. Reality TV Icons // Matt & Julie // Stanley & Mimi Avatar by doesnotsway @ LJ | |||

| Ken-- I really really liked it they seem to be making connections on a real level and seeing past some of the stereo-types Sink or swim? I say they'll get at least 1 season out of it.

| I watched it tonight. It's actually pretty good, and I'm excited for the rest of the show. I really wish the episode had more time showing the bonding between the contestants, it felt a bit rushed. However, that's usually the case with reality shows at the beginning; we'll probably get to know the people better when there are fewer to focus on. I loved the little title caption things on the bottom (even if they seemed a little too summative)... "Beer Spokesmodel" hehe....I wonder how they choose those things... | |||

| LOL Ken yes its still on. Season 4 (the one with Nate) was like the worst season at least after Dave left season 3 was probably the best. Can't wait to read what everyone who missed it thinks of Beauty and the geek when it re-airs tonight.

| I missed the repeat so I guess I'm never going to see those first 20 minutes. I'll watch it next week though. Does anyone remember, what was the girl's answer to "what state is east of West Virginia?" __________________ That internet thing, it's a fad.

Did anyone other than me think that in the elimination questions, one girl (the one eliminated) got totally easier questions than the other? ("What president is on the one dollar bill?"... WAY easy) | |||
