I plan to record it when it airs later tonight. I just hope that it is more like season one and not a lock for an off-putting actor like season two.

No, Peapod, you aren't the only one. I'm trying to..keep getting interrupted by phone calls. At first I thought there weren't going to be any annoying geeks this year and then the guy in the beret shot down Cecile, who is my favorite gal so far. I thought her answer was clever.."Golden State." He was rude and then played the victim, saying no one wanted to pick him. Gee, I wonder why. How are you liking it so far? I felt bad for the gal who was kind of forced to pick the beret guy. I'll get the names straight before I post again, lol.

Just read your post, Seamonkey. I don't think it will be like that this year. The choosing of partners is completely different.

Oh good I thought I was gonna get in trouble for starting a duplicate thread. I am liking this one so far. My DH is commenting on the chick who he thinks is so "Janelle wannabe". does anybody else see it?

Faux Janie. She looks and sounds very much like Janie but doesn't come close to the heart that Janie has.

Are you guys talking about Cecile? She does remind me of Janie somewhat.

Yup, Cecile. What did she say that people call her C.C.G?

I like Cecile, I don't think she's anything like Janelle and she seems very, very sweet, so I think she has plenty of heart. She's my favorite girl so far. I don't dislike any of the guys so far, which is a switch, lol. I'm not sure who my favorite is yet, though. I would think Nate or Mario, but this is subject to change.

Cecile reminds me of Jessica Simpson. I can't believe how stubbornly ignorant Tori was. She got her walls up, and they never came down, and she never improved herself. I felt bad for Sanjay. I didn't watch the first series, but there was nothing else on tonight. It's weird; it seems like it is set up for me to automatically dislike the women, and like the men or sympathize with them. I feel bad that I dislike so many of the girls, yet feel only positive feeling toward the geeks. I guess because social skills and looks aren't as easy to come by as book smarts. I like Pi and the two guys with beards.

The first series? Was that the one with the (almost) 98 lb guy and Cher? I saw that season in reruns on NY Day (recovering from a sleep hangover). I really liked those two and were glad they won. I know I caught bits of the second season... but I for the life of me can't remember who won.

Season 1 was really sweet and less competition.. everyone really grew and bloomed. Season 2 of course they realized they had to work to get rid of the nicer people or smarter ones if possible but that wasn't the really bad part it was the obnoxious acting geek who turns out to be an actors and that is his schtick..he's NOT all that awkward, though he certainly lacks appeal but he has no stage fright. Unpleasant. I think he had a really sweet partner tho. (He was the one who played ragtime on the piano) Tonight, well the right ones went home. He wasn't supportive wasn't willing to praise her for effort. She was willing to support him but not the best competititor and not with the right guy. I actually like most of them. Eeyores, can't tell yet, but I know in the first season I was the same way.. felt for all the guys and thought the women weren't much but wait and see.. they are very likely to grow and grow on you, too and on the other hand, some of the geeks turn out not to be so warm and fuzzy.. that is only based on past history, though beret guy did irk me, too.

I don't know when I'll be able to watch my DVR'd copy. But in exploring the website, I see an abundance of blond women this time around. What are they trying to do, stereotype the "dumb blond" thing? I may change my impression after I watch an episode. But, that was my first impression in looking at the site. Here's the website, for anyone that wants a link to it: Beauty And The Geek

Don't know, didn't see season 2 Don't remember Sanjay and Tori RE Sanjay not supporting Tori, the girl didn't even seem to try in what we saw, I would have found it difficult to find anything to praise about her performance. I found quite a few lol moments last night, I find Pi in particular funny (except for his stand up routine). His comments in the preview for next week re smiling, ha. I didn't think Mario was playing the victim, he could hear what the girls were saying about him, I think everyone would have been a little nicer and quieter if they knew the person was in the hall waiting and could hear their every word. All in all a good start, except for that one fella (Matt) letting CC doll him up, what's up with that? And his partner the beauty queen, for all her complaints that Matt wasn't running or trying, she didn't really put in any effort on the media challenge. They should have taken the 20Gs and ran.

Mictay, I was rolling with laughter at the gal who didn't even know how to say Star Trek. She kept saying Star Track or Star Truck. Too funny. The guys were hilarious re: booty. I kept thinking they should have applied for Treasure Hunt. That's the kind of 'booty' they thought the girls meant, lol. I also felt bad for Sanjay. Tori didn't even try to study. He never stood a chance.

Season two winners were Cher and Josh. He was abrasive and even all the guys kept trying to get him to mellow and he wouldn't.. he would run around being annoying in the manner of a bratty 8 year old, or 12 year old.. lol. I wasn't a fan.

Cricket, I liked Sanjay too, and hated that Tori didn't even try. Mind you, he didn't do himself any favors not knowing the answer to his question either. At that point, I knew it was time for me to let Sanjay go.... LOL
