Basically, they team 7 beautiful girls with 7 guys who are smart but are a little socially challenged, and they have to pass a series of challenges (the girls have to do things like a spelling bee and changing a tire, the guys have to do things like fashion shop and learn to give a massage)...The team that learns from each other the most wins $250,000. Here's the website, with the contestants and some clips...they also have a 4 minute sneak-peek video...from that it doesn't look like the show isn't making fun of the contestants too much, and may actually be sweet. The promo video shows how they are paired up. http://thewb.com/Shows/GenericShow/0,11116,228773,00.html

Just watch the promo and sneak peak. Looks interesting enough to turn in for at least the first episode.

These women cracked me up. Hoover - President during the Civil War, Bush - ex-governor of Arkansas, Robinson - the British Prime Minister. They almost made the Jaywalkers look like brain surgeons!

How about ... in 1942 Columbus sailed the ocean blue? Heh. But I did like the show ... it doesn't seem mean-spirited, and I think I am really going to like some of these people. Joe seems like a darling ... too bad he got matched up with such a silly "beauty" ... she couldn't wait even one day to make a move on Brad? The nose-bleed guy is interesting, and his "beauty" seemed pretty level-headed and nice.

I'm glad others are watching the show. The guy that won the dance contest seems to be over acting a bit. I wish they hadn't eliminated a couple so soon. I don't think we will have time to get to know them. Do they each win $250,000.00 or do they split it.

I missed this last night but it was repeated here tonight and I was surprised that I enjoyed it. I wondered about the prize $$, too, Dogdoc. The contestants seemed to think it was $250,000 each.

Is the nosebleed guy is a doctor or some brain in the medical field? Can't he solve his spontaneous nosebleeds? The 1942 answer had to be a put on or scripted? Although the “girls” weren’t bright they seemed harmless enough and not catty at all…well yet. I liked it enough to watch again.

He answered the question about the nose bleeds - high blood pressure (aka hypertension when he's nervous). Maybe he picks his nose alot and that makes the membrane thin??? j/k. 'squeek'

I like the premise that they're actually helping each other to improve in areas where they want to learn more. I was just sorry that anyone had to get booted the first week. Wow ~ Who would have thought I'd ever like an Ashton Kucher produced show?

We stumbled upon this show last night and actually enjoyed it. The geeks weren't all that bad (except for Richard! OMG!!!), and some of them were really cute. Could those girls be any dumber, though? Holy cow, those were some pretty easy questions. The girl who said, "1942? Wasn't that when Columbus sailed the ocean blue?" probably just blurted that out without thinking. I've pulled a few of those on occasion myself. The girl who put the moves on Brad (was she the "Life Size Barbie Model?") had been drinking and obviously wasn't thinking clearly. It was pretty tacky to hook up with another guy who was on another team. Her partner took it well, though. This show reminded me a little of Average Joe, only the guys weren't so bad on this one (they really picked some doozies for AJ). I'll watch it again. What night is it supposed to be on?

I missed it dangnabit! I really wanted to watch this show. I was wondering if anyone could give me their impression of Brad. He is from our town I don't know him personally. He's about the same age as my oldest son so I'll ask around and see if I can get any inside info. I really wanted to see how he came across on the show.

Brad definitely came across the least "geeky" and he did look kind of cute. Erika (not his teammate) decided she liked him and crawled into his bed and was kissing him!! Her roommate noticed she did not sleep in her bed.

I love this show, it is so sweet. I was sad to see that little guy go, I think he could have benefited more by staying than the other guy. That doctor is not a geek, he is good looking, nice, and going to be a doctor!!

I really like the way this show is working out. The men and women seem to be learning from each other. I wish they had more time for the couples to do things together like going out on dates or something. I thought it was funny that the guys were no help to the girls on car mechanics.

I like the show too. Only thing that bugs me is trying to remember what other reality show the host was on. Driving me crazy.

Joe is the name of the little blonde-haired kid that left. Joe was cool, got a lot of air time. Especially last night so I figured he might go. But splitting them up was good ... and smart. Although I would have preferred that Joe stayed instead of Brad.
