PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"EW gives "Beauty and the Geek" an A-" |
Entertainment Weekly says this show has "heart" and builds rather than breaks self-confidence. So it looks like at least one viewing is in order. Ashton Kutcher is a producer, so if it was called "Beauty and the Goof" we might have seen his and Demi's home life. In the summer, I'm game for anything that's not reruns.

I'm on the west coast, so it's still a while until it'll be on here. I'm so glad that it's living up to the publicity. The LA Times had articles about it both yesterday and today, both very favorable. Ashton does seem like a goof, but a very lovable one.

I think that this show has heart because the producers did such a good job picking kids who have heart. There were definitely "Jay Walking" moments but by creating a show that is not about dating or setting up false romances, an opportunity for real friendships that will enrich both partners actually seems to be possible. These guys seemed much sweeter than the ones on "Average Joe" and the girls seemed genuinely nicer when they didn't have any romantic pressure on them. Joe reminded me of Ralph Malph from Happy Days and I thought Brad looked a little like Ryan Sutter. The funniest thing is that I watched "Dancing With The Stars" right afterwards and Evander Holyfield, who no one would ever call a geek, didn't dance any better than these guys!

I, too, thought that this would be another "Average Joe" but it wasn't. I loved how there isn't any romantic pressure on them as well!I think most people like me, loved Richard. He was funny and very goofy. I do hope the editing gets better because it was extremely obvious who was going home as it was the team who got the least amount of air time. I thought it was pretty nasty of the blonde chick sneaking into Ryan Sutter look-alike's room to "cuddle" all night leaving her team-mate all alone. Talk about a slap in the face. Even though the teams are not romantically involved, it's still a big slap in the face and ultimately that puts the team at a disadvantage. BTW, some of the questions they asked the girls were not all that easy. Most of them were bone simple, but some of them I don't think most intelligent people would know either. I am a professional business-woman and got straight A's when I was in high school but always have had a problem with geography so some of those questions I had to think about and honestly, I couldn't remember who Al Gore's running mate was either. Although that chick saying that Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue in 1942, was by far the funniest thing I've seen yet! I'll be watching every show and hope it does well! --Donna :~)

I absolutely agree with you. I kept thinking-"these guys are pretty cute" and to be members of Mensa, to boot. A girl could do a lot worse! Richard could play a young, pre-scandal Woody Allen. They were all really endearing. As I said in my earlier post, Joe reminds me of Ralph Malph, so did your 5th grade boyfriend look like that? I thought that Larissa of Average Joe was absolutely beautiful. None of the girls here come close but I think that's why so many of these pairs looked so cute together- because they weren't so extreme.

19. "Impressed and, possibly, addicted" |
I stumbled on the rerun of this show last night at 10 pm central time and remembered it was Ashton's baby so I stuck around and watched. Plus, the host is the same host from Cupid and I watched that show so how bad could this one be?!? I have to think that the teams are given some guidelines as to what questions may be asked because it seemed a little too obvious when their off screen teammate would say "oh, they know this ...we covered this. They SO know it." And, the flashcards?!? I HATE flashcards! The dancing was a good idea for a competition IMO. Anyway, I thought it was a good show. Since, I'm reality showless at this point I know I'm going to continue to watch it.

Wasn't he also the host of Todd TV? I know that there are only 2 others besides myself that watched Todd TV but I am pretty sure it is the same host.

Count me in, too! I went to sleep thinking about this show! These guys are totally my type (well, most of them, anyway!) Funny how DH was a little jealous as we watched - and he could be one of them, I told him! Can't quite figure out why someone hasn't snatched them up! Of course, I also loved Ian on Survivor and Clay Aiken. Guess my infatuation for Bo is the rebel in me! The day after the show, when I would say something not-so-wise, DH would say to me, "At least you're pretty." I'll chose not to be offended, and accept the compliment.

Wow! Looks like we're watching the same shows this season. I happened across this one too, when I heard them announce the show as "Beauty and the Geek" I almost turned the channel right there, but I decided to wait until I knew what they were gonna be doing. I'm glad I did. I think the fact that this show isn't about romance makes it much more appealing to me. That "Oh, yeah D-Day!" line cracked me up.

I'm so glad I read this thread to find out that I could catch the encore presentation. I switched between this and "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" before giving up on HMBOMT completely. (I have a new appreciation for "American Idol" finalists!)Anyway, this show was definitely worth watching. I happen to like nerdy guys, and some of them I'd definitely date. I found the shy awkward guy appealing.  Richard, though....he reminded me a little of the geek from the movie "Midnight Madness". 
And a little of Robert Carradine's Lewis from "Revenge of the Nerds".
 This show is a keeper.

LAST EDITED ON 06-07-05 AT 04:41 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 06-07-05 AT 04:38 PM (EST) Hi Reality Mom -- Thanks for the when-its-on info. That's what I came here looking for.  I cannot believe that I was in this thread before. I had thought this was a whole forum. (when I couldn't find the forum today, I searched Beauty and the Geek, and that's how I found this.) And, I find it monumentally astounding that what I loved most was that it was all-in-agreement. I guess I foolishly thought that if I introduced myself on the Off-Topic forum (not realizing this was it) that there would be zillions of lovely all-in-agreements to follow. well, old Hereclitus was right, You can't step into the same river twice... But, I am soooo happy to see you all again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! www.health-boundaries-bite.com/Fingernails.html Your fingernails reflect your health -- Learn what warning signs to look for -- Karen Kline

LAST EDITED ON 06-08-05 AT 09:42 AM (EST)This is the Other Shows forum. If you look to your left you will see all the forums with a blue background and the message boards listed in alphabetical order of the "major" shows. Click on Other Shows and it will give you a choice of Other Reality Shows which this one is in and other less popular reality shows. There is also a choice for Other Non-reality shows where you can discuss stuff about non-rality shows like "24", "CSI", "Arrested Developement" or Soap Operas. There also are separate forums for "Lost" and "Desparate Housewives" due to their popularity"

Susan Stewart, a critic in the TV Guide, gives it a 9 out of 10. That is really generous. While I totally love the show, not sure I'd rate it that well.

LAST EDITED ON 06-08-05 AT 12:16 PM (EST)In the same issue of TV Guide, Matt Roush gives the show a "Roush Rave". I love the show, too but 9 is a really high rating. What would some of the all-time great shows like "Roots", the Master of My Domain episode of "Seinfeld", the best episodes of "Mary Tyler Moore", "Mash", "Sopranos", etc. etc. receive - a 10 +++?  The most encouraging thing, though, is that both Roush and Stewart have seen several episodes of "Beauty and the Geek" and still like it just as much as we all liked the first episode. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens tonight.
