To Geek or not to Geek

Look, folks - I'm enjoying Beauty and the Geek (just like the rest of you), but I am not like Richard in any way. Two people have made this innocent juxtaposition, but it's just flat-out wrong. He's the lanky guy who has no social skills. First, I'm not lanky - I was husky in junior high. And while I enjoy Richard's over-the-top mannerisms, I have a completely different style. Richard has never kissed a girl, and I nailed my first smooch in the second grade. My ears also don't stick out half as far. I may be a geek, but I guess I'm not a total geek. The guys on this show are closer to nerds, IMHO. And these beauties are truly beauties, but I've known much better beauties who also happen to have brains (present company included). Beauty and the Geek hits too close to home.

Has that show started yet? I saw a promo, and just looked it over at the link you provided. My only problem so far is that the Cheryl girl is both hot AND, from the sound of it, smart. Doesn't that give her team an unfair advantage over the cheerleaders and models?

Nevermind, just saw the “eliminated in week 1″ tag.

There's a big difference between an Geek and a Nerd. Geeks know their stuff, and Nerds lack social skills. Sometimes people can be both geeks and nerds, but not always. On the show, Richard is a nerd, but probably not much of a geek. Brad - he's a geek - a MENSA member! - who's not a nerd at all.
