So there really isn't a thread for this yet?

I love all the new geeks, wow. I did hate it that some didn't get their choice in partners, but this may make for more interesting viewing. I am not into any of the beauties, except maybe Katie.

What do you guys think of the twist? I thought the "beauty" guy didn't look like he played for our team, but they showed him hooking up with a beauty in the previews. I am loving the idea of a geeky girl.

I was sitting in my chair thinking before this started how nice it would be to revamp this show and make it all beautiful men and all geeky women. I thought that would be an interesting twist to this show, then at the end they showed one pair. I would have liked to see all beautiful men and all geeky women, but one pair is better then none. I don't know which is which by name, but the little asian guy with the bow and his beauty I really like so far. He is the cutest and she seems like a sweety. I will have to go look up their names.

I think there was a thread for this last year, but it might have fell off since it has been awhile.

I love the LARPer, and the way he talks. I do see some ringers in the bunch but there are a lot of REAL geeks. Has anyone seen Monster Camp? It's an amazing documentary about Live Action Role Playing.

I wonder if we could get a banner that shows the couples? It always takes me a while to figure out who all the players are, LOL.

The Asian guy Tony seems very familiar to me but I can't put my finger on from where. It seems like an interesting bunch. I don't have names straight yet but I was very surprised when the girl who won the challenge wanted to team up with the Joshua who won the challenge. Early she seemed like she was really looking down on the guys and lets face it Joshua seems like the most akward of the bunch. I felt sorry for the Larper guy when he got stuck with the girl he wanted least, but I think he'll look at it as a challenge and she seems pretty up for anything. The one blonde girl Hollie reminds me very much of Brittany from last season.

Finally!! A thread for this! I have so much to say!

I also really wanted a season with beautiful men and geeky girls......*sigh*...maybe next season? I don't think the "hot" guy is attractive AT ALL. The geeky girl looks like she could become smokin' in the makeover episode! Plus I'm very excited to see her compete against the the other geeks. I hope she kicks butt!!


Guys I -
Tony (asian w/bow tie)
Luke (guy who makes robots)
Josh (rubberband guy)
Girls I -
Amanda (brunette/wants to be a playmate)
Hollie (Betty Boop impersonator)
Rebecca (blonde/yellow dress/gave massage)

I was happy that Amanda got to be with Tony since that was her wish and he seemed pretty psyched about it! What a BUMMER that Luke and Hollie didn't get to be together!! They both requested each other. It's not fair!

The Asian guy Tony seems very familiar to me but I can't put my finger on from where.

I thought the same thing!

I thought the *hot guy* looked like a Joan Rivers protege. LOL Enough botox in his face to service an entire PTA. To be fair, I haven't seen him speak yet, just the couple screen shots but I agree with the posters who don't see any *hot* in the *hot guy*. The girl seems kinda cute though and wouldn't it be great if all the so-called geeks connected with her instead of the beauties?

Glad you started this thread, Madelane. I watched it on the DVR Friday night and came here Saturday to start one, but got distracted. This show has got to be one of the funniest on TV. The interview process was hysterical as was the first episode. It looks like it's going to be a good season. Most of the gals seem nice, if a bit umm...dumb and the guys are truly geeky in a lovable way.

The video of Josh dancing was hysterical. He only moves one hand when he dances. Also, the gal who liked Tony, aka Rusty the Diamond made me almost fall out of bed laughing.

The only bad part is the HOT guy isn't hot at all. I thought he was trying to be the Fonz and failed, lol.

Beth, it's on tonight @ 8:00 EST on the WB.

I want to know who hooks up next week!!!!!

It's the hot guy but which one of the girls??

Whichever one it is I am seriously doubting her sanity (and taste!)

I was chatting with a friend and we were trying to figure out if a beauty and a geek got together every season. Does anybody know? I just cannot remember!

I still can't deny my wish that this season's hookup will be between Hollie and Luke . They just seemed to take an instant shine to each other in the first episode!

Last week, the first episode showed previews from the whole season. I didn't mind at the time but I did when I watched tonight's episode!

On the previews they showed John with the makeover. Well....this sucks! I knew that John and Natalie would win because he does make it to the makeover episode. I hate being spoiled!

I hope they do not go into the elimination competition again or I will know the outcome!

AARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

I'm so with you, Ladytex. He's ruining a great show. <100>. After the makeovers, the geeks are going to look cuter than him. His personality is also lacking; whereas the gals might not be the brightest stars, but they have personalities that make you want to watch. I can't watch him.

Was that the best they could do for a male "beauty"? His eyes are way <100>. Like, "I'm-gonna-stab-you" <100>. Certainly there were less disconcerting <100> out there for them to choose from. Maybe he is related to an executive producer or something.

I was very disappointed that two of my favorite couples went head-to-head for the first elimination and my faves are out. :-(

And Trueheart - Jenny and Nate "got together" last season, but I think they were the first real hook-up on the show. I could be forgetting someone from season 1 or 2, but I don't think so.

The male beauty is being called a "club promoter" (I think), but he's actually an actor - Sam Horrigan. He's been in tons of stuff from being a regular on Grace Under Fire (he played the older Quentin) to appearances in Veronica Mars, Joan of Arcadia, Desperate Housewives and even some movies. In fact, IMDB has him as just finishing a movie called Bar Starz. Also interesting is that IMDB makes no mention of Beauty and the Geek in his credits - guess that's as interesting as them making no mention that he's an actor on Beauty and the Geek. I think that would certainly have helped in the debate thing. Makes me wonder whether he's acting on the show - that would certainly be preferable to that actually being his personality, you know?

Very sad to see Tony go. He was so adorable. He reminds me a lot of Masi Oka from Heroes. Maybe that's why he looks familiar to others? I don't know - maybe he's an actor, too and just not one I recognized!

I wouldn't doubt that a few of these folks casted are "in the business" one way or another. Or it's their stepping stone.
Many agents have pushed a few hopefuls towards a reality show audition to get their client screen time (or get noticed). We've seen it in other shows (*cough* Big Brother *cough*).

I am with you, Nancypj -- two of my favorite couples head to head was a bad start. All the guy geeks seem OK except Joshua -- that Rorschach thing where he did not see any images gave me the creeps. There are no beauties to hate this year -- yet anyway (I amy lose a lot of respect for any that get involved with Sam.... inter-beauties activity seems inappropriate, though I would not mind seeing a drunken moake out session between Jasmine and Natalie). Hollie seems fairly smart, but in her debate performance she went into Betty Boop mode way too easily. Honestly, all the girls seem great, if not real bright (and I have to wonder how much of that is put on, because they seem very normal when the focus is not on them -- except, perhaps, Jasmine).

<100>

So -- of the beauties:

Smartest: Hollie
Prettiest: Natalie (breath-taking)
Ditziest: Jasmine
Most secure: Katie or Erin
Fun to be around: All of them (except Sam)
Intimidating: Jennifer
"I'd like you to meet my parents": Natalie or Hollie or Erin or Rebecca
Worst voice: Jasmine
Best voice: Erin
"Oh my God, she looked at me": Natalie

That's a start.... much nicer girls than last year, except for that all time favorite, Jennylee. If there is a Cecile in this group, it's either Sam or she has not come out yet.

The blond haired geek, I think his name is John, he's already cute as a geek, but I bet after the makeover he's going to be hot! Hotter than the supposed "hot guy."

Joshua reminds me of Richard from one of the past seasons.

the makeover show is usually when there are quite a few couples still playing.


I remember at least six couples doing the 'makeover' episode. So I am crossing my fingers that the 'producer picks' arent cakewalked to the end.

((But we all know what happened with that "other" show LOL I dont want to talk about it LOL))

you know, I really debate with myself each year what is a geek and what is a nerd and where is the line drawn.

nate last year was extremely funny and extroverted. Lead singer of a band even.

I would have never called him a geek.

This season there are three guys who dont seem geeky to me, but seem to be 'acting' particularly nerdy while 'choosing' to do weird things to their hair (like the juggler)


That one guy really reminds me of Jerry Lewis when he talks to Diary Room and does that weird little snorty laugh while trying to talk.

I figure he is a ringer as well along with the producer's pick of Pretty Boy.

I'm with you guys on that guy. Do any of us think he is a beauty?

I think he is so average that people would walk by him without a glance (unless he had his shirt off and was doing those stupidlooking poses LOL))

anyways, I would guess he has had an eyebrow lift and his eyes have been 'opened' by a lid tuck. He looks strange to me and I think if the producers would have put a "real" prettyboy in the house the Beauties would have been clammoring over themselves to flirt.

This guy seems to skeeve out the beauties too.

Just my opinion!

((I do like this show. I've always considered myself a closet nerd))

Thanks, Cdbga. I couldn't figure out who he reminded me of. That's it..Masi Oka. They both have adorable personalities. I, too, was so sorry to see him go this soon. I wanted to see more of him.

They really blew it casting the supposed cute guy. He's not that cute, but he is smarter than the gals, so he has a better chance in the comps. Kind of an uneven playing field for the rest of the teams.

I was sorry to see that team go :-(

I thought her question about the presidents was harder than whatever the other girl got.. and at least she got three presidents, so JFK was outside the window, but still..

I'm not wild about the male "beauty" and he'll for sure be hooking up with other beauties and make it harder for the other guys. And of course he's the one who has had featured interview on Reality Remix.. just don't think they needed that twist. Seems like they will be targetted anyway.

Does anyone have a list of the couples?

I posted links that show the individuals involved and their names.. Having the couples might encourage the production of a nice banner..

Courtesy of Reality News Online's Recap of Ep 1:

Joshua and Shay
Amanda and Tony
Jasmine and David
Erin and Jesse
Natalie and John
Jen and William
Rebecca and Will
Hollie and Josh
Luke and Katie
Nicole and Sam


My issue isn't so much that an actor is on the show, but the fact that he's being called a club promoter and so far nothing talks about the fact that he's an actor. This isn't the usual actor-wannabe we see on reality shows, this is a guy who's been in a ton of things - and it hasn't been mentioned...nobody in the house recognizes him...even in his bio on the site, it doesn't make mention of his being an actor. That is the part that just seems strange to me. But, we are only two episode in, so maybe it will be mentioned at some point.
