Beauty and the Geek is back

by Julia Ward, posted Nov 29th 2006 3:01PM
The Beauty and The GeekBeauty and The Geek will make its third season debut on January 3rd with a two-hour season premiere. As usual, eight beautiful dimwits get paired up with eight socially-awkward brainiacs for a series of competitions that put their respective skill sets to the test.

I'm not a big fan of reality shows, but I swear I teared up a little when one of the beauties admitted in season one that she wouldn't have given any of the geeks she'd grown to love the time of day before the show. It touched the cockles of my own geeky heart. And, as Woody Allen says, "There's nothing like hot cockles." I'm still waiting for the bizarro version of this show where eight himbos are paired up with eight girl geeks. I have no idea if it would work quite as well since we all know that the girl geek just needs to take off her glasses and loosen her hair from that tight librarian bun and - swoosh - she's do-able.

I was dissapointed that I only got to see the last two episodes of season 1. I hope they will release it on DVD sometime soon. I think Mindi is actually intelligent. She has a great personality and is also extremely hot! I enjoy wathcing this show beacause I am very smart and find it difficult to approach attractive girls. I can't wait for season 3 to start in January. I love you Mindi!

Deeds,
Thanks for the support. It is sad that if you are not a Barbie or Ken no one wants to give you the time of day. If they have shows like Little People Big World or other shows showing support for people that are different why can't there be just one for overweight people. Too bad people didn't really take note to the movie Shallow Hal. That really gave a true feeling to what us bigger people go through.

Regarding comment #6: those words should be chiseled in stone. Every man, no matter how he looks, thinks he's hot...and every woman, no matter how beautiful, is insecure about her looks. It's really sad.

DDG, i just wanted to lend my support on your sentiment. i wish the same, though i don't think it would be allowed to happen ...most people just don't want to look at obese (or even just overweight) people, they think big people are repulsive and they think that for all of us it's our own fault and we're pigs ...there isn't an abundance of compassion, let alone attraction ...but i'll hold out hope that someday someone will manage to get a tv show like the one you mentioned on the air, and maybe some people's hearts will be touched and they'd be able to find tolerance. best wishes~

I honestly can't figure out the difference!
(Geek Girl, some of us would really like your sage advice here).

It seems to me that every one of us has felt like a beauty or a geek alternately, maybe at the same time, during our lives, including Ashton Kutcher. That's the appleal of this show. Don't take it personally and try to put your minority self into the equation. The question is why would anyone worry about which category they are in? Enjoy the joy, embrace the understanding, it all goes toward human kindness and empathy.

I'm a geek and I'm beautiful. I graduated at age 16, college at 18, have an IQ in the 95th percentile... And I'm also a part-time model. It's clear to me I should be on this show.

Why can't anyone ever do a show with overweight people and beautiful people? That way beautiful people can learn to look at the inside caring hearts of overweight people instead of just the outside picture. Some of us overweight people would make the best mates.

i only started watching this show because Ashton Kutcher is so f***ing hot... but this is such an amazing show. I would love 2 see 8 geeky guys with 8 popular guys, except for the fact that all they guys would be really gay...

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for a woman to be beautiful AND intelligent.
