I can't help it, I really like this show!
This year, one of the Geeks is a huge Trekker - he even wore a Captain's uniform! (I'm sure they all like Star Trek, but the only thing this one can talk about is Star Trek. He watches three episodes of the show daily!!!!)

The girl that got booted didn't even know what NYSE stood for!!!!!

Sounds like somthing fun that I would love to watch.

One word: Dumb. (Sorry BF.)

BF, whaddya think about this?

Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww! I don't watch THAT! It's stupid!

Beauty and the Geek is a social experiment - highly intellectual TV watching

BF, i also watched it yesterday. i thought it's a new show, did they have it before as well?

that black girl was a looser from the beginning, and her attitude was mean; i felt bad for her guy, though.

i'm far from being a geek, but i would never answer that question about "everyone hates chris" either. i'm so far from knowing about that stuff.

I think this is the third season of the show.

It's funny, b/c last year, a black girl also paired up with an Indian guy! (At least, I think he was Indian).

I can't wait till the guys get a makeover!

who watched it yesterday? ( i missed the first, most interesting, part)

I actually saw. She was dumb but the blonde opposite her wasn't. She knew the author of Freakonomics. I'm surprised she ever heard of the book!

it is a dumb show and it is an example of american culture which is fake and superficial

you got rejected by an American chick?

no

I hope she knew the name of the author!
Their challenge in the first episode was to read Freakonomics and then interview the author. If she didn't know the name, that'd be very sad.

Oh, I didn't know that. I only saw a few minutes of the stand-up comedy and this little quiz.

i know everyone's opinion of me will plummet now, but i myself learned what NYSE stands for only a few years ago here, i said it i never had to do anything with business/economics world.

BF, did you see last night's episode?

Yes, I saw last night's episode.

Truth be told, I would expect very few people in the country to know what NYSE (most often) stands for.

The blondies this year are just that. Blondies. In episode 2 they sent to elimination the smartest girls in the house. Sherree was really good. Not half as dumb as the blondes. Makes me shudder to hear some of the airhead things that come out of their mouths. But I never learned the Dewey Decimal System...
Whoever like me does not have a TV can watch this on youtube.

not sure about the rest of them (frankly speaking, they all look the same to me, i differ them by their guy partners), but the blondie from the winning team really stands out. i couldn't believe her thoughts that lead to elimination - "but they are my friends!" yes, as stupid as you are. to get rid of 2 girls who are not blondes - this girl is an epitome of (supposedly cause i don't even find her beautiful) pretty blonde stupid creature. those two brunettes showed they were smart by answering all the questions. and they were right - it did look like high school politics to me, too.

REALLY?!??!?! I'm probably the most clueless person on earth and even I, now that NYSE = New York Stock Exchange (and I've known that for a long time).

just shows that you are not as clueless as you thought you were

Too bad, I liked Jennylee. I wish she and Nate were on the same team. CC needs to go, yesterday.

nah, then there wouldn't be that romance and the tension because of it going on.
i can't believe CC is still there and i really hope she won't be the winner (although i do like Nate a lot and i have to admit, CC can learn and concentrate when she needs to). if she wins, it'll show that bad people do prosper in life (ok, i'm kidding, but her attitude is unbelievable and yes, i do know it's the reality show and i believe they are all told what to say and how to behave)

on another hand, if the other couple wins, it'll be as weird cause they were not the strong ones throughout the show.

after reading the post about it i went to you tube and watched hours of the show! OMG! CC is evil! i liked nadia and mario, too bad they are gone! but nate is cute and jennylee is just hanging in there for him

well, jennylee is not hanging there any more.
i also like mario and nadia

(can you see all TV shows on youtube now?)

Who will win?

I want Megan and Nate to win...

well, given the choice - anyone but CC.

should i post a little spolier from The Vues?

nu, anyone saw the finale?

Yup!

I love what Nate did! He's such a sweety!
Chances are, they wouldn't have won, but at least they managed to show Cecille that you don't always win by being a b!tch.

he is a sweety, and so is Nick - he dealt with it so maturely, understanding and accepting that he won't win.

it's really weird that Nat's team won, cause they were so "pareve" throughout the whole competition. but anything better than CC. i really wonder if they paid CC to act that way. i'm serious.

how did you like that idiot guy who voted for CC and his reason? i thought i was gonna throw up when i heard him.

Same here. He didn't realize that CC was making fun of him, he thought she was being nice!

I definitely think that the show is fixed.

but when she painted his face??? (it was the same guy, no?)

Yeah, when she painted his face she was just making him look stupid, not bonding with him.

but how could he not realize it at the time? forget that, how could he still think WEEKS LATER it was bonding. such a fool...

Don't forget that he didn't watch himself on TV at that point. All he had was the memory of the first night when he felt completely awkward, and a pretty girl lavished attention on him.

true, but doesn't the type of attention matter?

I'm not saying that it doesn't take a pretty socially awkward guy to miss those cues, but it isn't as if he got to watch himself (and her) from a detached perspective. That first night, he probably felt pretty awesome, after feeling pretty dorky and lonely. All those weeks later that's what he remembered. What I'm saying is that he may well have come to realize, after seeing it on TV, that she was actually not being kind to him. On the other hand, maybe he couldn't care less but simply remembers that she was the one to reach out to him.

i hear what you are saying and it makes sense, however if someone makes a clown out of you by painting your face (guy's face, for G-d's sake)... what if she would have asked him to walk around naked, would he still be excited she singled him out? see what i'm saying? when she was flirting with him on the bed, that i understand he felt special, but not the painting the face part.

Scooter and Megan won. Nate and Cecille (CC) lost.

Wow that was so cool! I enjoyed that finale so much. I respect Nate for the decision he made, and I hope CC realized what she did. Like Andera said, its nice to be important, but more important to be nice.
That was a great learning expierience.

oops, mixed up the names

did anyone watch the get together yesterday?

How long haven't you known how to spell 'know'?

Every so often, people make typos. Generally that is not considered a graceful way to bump a thread.

I say nice things to people too. H.com is not all about saying and doing the right thing. We cut to the bone in an effot to expose hypocricy and inconsistency in ourselves and others. Gracefulness is not an art as much valued here and I make no apologies for sometimes ignoring it to some slight excess. This site is not real life and if it was, conversations would be as stilted and stifled as real life conversations between strangers tend to be. We do ourselves an injustice on this site if we always act on our best behavior. Although of course I am not arguing that being on our worst behavior all the time is the way to go.

It's not for someone of your intelligence to pretend you didn't realize it's a typo.

(I just don't get your point in posting that.)

OK, so I act a bit geeky sometimes, what can I do. That was perhaps the whole reason I looked at this thread in the first place.

even the smartest fail?

(noticed the unnecessary comma there before "now" (know)? take a look at the keyboard now)

once this thread was bumped, who won this season - a regular woman-beauty/man-geek couple or the men-beauty/woman-geek one?
