I generally hate the reality shows but this new one by Ashton Kutcher called Beauty and the Geek is hysterical. Seven beautiful women and seven dorks geniuses have to team up and teach each other some skills if they want to win the competition, but “they’re so far apart on the social spectrum that they’re practically different species”.
They extra funny part is I know these guys (or at least guys like them) from high school and/or college. Plus, some of these guys have never been on a date or kissed a girl. When the one category is massage the one guy was practically shaking when he realized he was going to have to touch a girl. The women learned auto repair faster than the guys learned massage. Be sure to check out the preview.
I missed the first episode so I’m not sure how the teams were picked, but it’s some interesting choices.
In one of the final competitions two guys are in the other room watching the girls compete. The question is “What are windshield wipers made of?”, she responds with “rubber” and both guys watching said “I didn’t know that?!?”…
Joe says, “I’m still a Virgin. No, I’m not saving myself…” HA!
Sadly, shows like this didn’t exist when I was a young geek looking for love (or some semblance thereof).
If you missed it the first time around, the sequel to the “Beauty and The Geek” reality show starts in a few weeks! Plus some of the networks are doing rerun marathons if you missed it the first time…
Beauty & The Geek 2 starts Thursday, January 12th, 9/8c!
