The premise (and what they say at the beginning of the show) is that it is a social experiment (which makes it better than Average Joe to me...b/c they are not expected to be romantically involved). The geeks are helping the beauties with their book learning. The beauties are helping the geeks socially. I've only watched 2 weeks of it, but I like it.

The winning team gets $250,000 (I think to split, not each)...

PS Bryan Mcfayden you suck!

PPS Bryan Mcfayden your shirt was too tight. I know your jealous of all the attention the geeks get but wow dude buy something that fits. You Work Out we get it! Your still annoying. Richard size annoying



Is that the host? To me, he fits right in there with the geeks!

that's cool...I always like to know what happens after!

I watched part of REgis & Kelly yesterday...Richard was on (I guess they are milking his celebrity for all it's worth). His mom was in the audience too. Regis asked him if it was just an act (said he reminded him of a young Jerry Lewis)...his mom answered for him that no, he has always been like this!

Maybe I'm one of the few Richard fans, but I always root for the underdog. Go Richard! There needed to be more personality in the other geeks they brought on. That's my only complaint.

His mom answered for him? Well, enough said right there. As far as the need for more personality in the geeks, that would defeat the purpose of the show, kind of. Part of the idea is to get the geeks to break out of their shell. You start out with a bunch of guys that have more or less already done so (like Richard), it would be interesting perhaps but defeat the purpose of the show.

I wouldn't say Richard has broken out of his shell...he just has a different shell from the other guys. Unlike the other "geeks," Richard has absolutely no common sense or sense of pride in himself. Did you notice that although none of the other guys were sharp dressers before the makeover, only Richard wore his pants hiked up to his nipples instead of around his waist?

Yes, she answered for him, but in Richard's defense (probably the only time I'll defend him) he did tell Regis to ask his mother! Maybe he was just being a good son and helping to get his mother to appear on national TV!

Maybe you're right, but still, you gotta keep it interesting for the viewers. I'll keep watching and rooting for Richard. Can't deny the soft spot in my heart for hopeless geeks. I'm half geek myself, my dad is an engineer whom my friends have described as Sonny Bono with glasses. Much love to my mom who helped out in the looks dept w/ me and my sis.

What happened last night? Shawn the boyscout totally blew the camping challenge! and, as predicted, it is a Chuck vs. Richard finale I'm hoping that Chuck wins...even though I didn't like him diagnosing/psycho-analyzing Richard! Mindi has been incredible - she's gotten EVERY question correct during the "elimination round"

I'm glad they will do a re-cap...would like to find out what they learned from doing the show, see if anything carried over after the show and see if Scarlett gave Chuck the time of day after the cameras stopped rolling!
