Beauty or the Geek?

Blog by Sean Gehon, Thursday, January 11, 2007

Perhaps it is difficult for many of you to understand why I love a show entitled "Beauty and the Geek", and in my defence, I had never seen it... until last night. The premise of the show is to pair a 'beauty' (young women who have relied primarily on their looks thus far in life) with a 'geek' (young men who have relied primarily on intellect and are socially awkward) together to compete in challenges, using skills they don't normally use, in order to win $250,000!

Now, many of you who haven't seen the show are probably thinking, Sean... that sounds completely stupid. I would tend to agree, but once you watch... and you understand how strange it is to see these two people, who have NOTHING in common, force themselves to bond and work together in order to win money, is so funny. Picture it like an awkward lab partner situation in high school. She doesn't want to learn anything , because she's too busy painting her nails, and he doesn't want to help her, because she's too vapid.

Currently City TV is airing the third season of the show, featuring beauties who's jobs range from a former Hooters waitress, to an Ultimate Fighting Champion Ring Girl, whereas the geeks range from 'Virgin' to a singer in a Star Wars band. Now this currently raises the question: How do you think that a "Star Wars band" is a good idea?? Frankly... I think Star Wars, I think furry alien teddy bears, a giant blob, and Carrie Fisher when she was hot. Clearly I'm a huge Star Wars buff... (I've seen them all once and have no intentions of going back.)

Last night's episode was the second episode of the season, and we saw our second SHOCKING Beauty and Geek elimination. Sadly, it was former Hooter's waitress Sheree and Piao, who has only kissed one girl, sent packing in a tight elimination challenge! Matt and Andrea found themselves answering every question correctly. Andrea even knew what NASA stood for... frankly, I had no idea. In my defence, I knew what it was right? After the elimination you got a little insight ot the 'friendship' formed between Sheree and Piao. Frankly, these two were so funny... Sheree clearly does not like 'geeks' and was being ridiculously cruel to poor Piao... all he wanted to do was say 'hey... at least we had fun', but she was all 'Piao... you should have worked harder... if only you were as hot as me we could have made it happen'. FYI Sheree: If you're on a show calling yourself a beauty, try harder. She was definately one of the less attractive beautiful people I've ever seen.

Watching this show got me to thinking, am I the beauty, or the geek. Having now read the descriptions of both a beauty and a geek... I've never been one to rely on my looks, and I can't say that I'm socially awkward. I don't think I'm necessarily the most beautiful person on the planet, nor am I the smartest. At the same time, I'm an intelligent human being with an opinion, and an understanding of the world around me, and I like to think that I'm decently attractive enough to not cause nightmares, so which am I?! The beauty or the geek. I play video games, I like to shop. I like fashion, I have a decent understanding of computers. Perhaps I have proven beauty and the geek wrong, and I am the best combination of all worlds... pretty AND smart. That's what Momma tells me anyway.

Well, that's all I have for today, I bid you adieu... until tomorrow ;)
