SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Perfect cast and a good story

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I was excited to see that the newly-formed CW network was keeping "Beauty and the Geek", because I liked watching it on the WB. However, what it has devolved into makes me wish I hadn't wasted my time.The first two seasons were kind of cute, with the dudes not quite sure how to respond to the pretty girls. Though there were a couple of "ringers" in the bunch (ringers: someone pretending to be a geek when they really weren't, i.e., Season One "Geek" winner Chuck), the geeks were totally believable and the girls did their best to be helpful and friendly, even if it was only in the spirit of winning.The third season makes me ill. The girls have turned this season into a junior high school bullying situation, with Cece (Cecille)and JennyLee verbally attacking their female competitors, and JennyLee verbally attacking her "Geek" partner. Not only that, but the previews show it will continue and in fact, get worse. It's really turned into a situation similar to MTV's "Real World/Road Rules Challenges", in which people immediately decide to fight, even if it is just verbally, rather than to play the game.If you can catch the first two seasons, then check them out. The current season is not worth the effort.

Seven male geeks pair up with seven female beauties in a luxury mansion in Los Angeles. The objective? The geeks must teach their partners geeky things whilst the models must teach the geeks how to be a bit cooler and socially aware. Will the geeks act typically shy and socially inadequate around their heavily bosomed partners? How will the models react to differential equations? In each episode, the partners are put to the test to see how much they've taken on board, with the worst performing couple booted off, and the ultimate winners splitting $250,000.Having first watched the UK version of this show I decided to give the US version a try. I enjoyed the UK version despite myself because everyone seemed to be into it, the presentation was relaxed and the humour was gentle and tongue-in-cheek. My first impression watching the original US version was how similar the UK one was to it – the music, the graphics, even how the people stand on the stairs all looked the same. However the one main way that the US version is different is how seriously it takes itself – it is a "proper" game show with a host while also presenting it straight down the line. So yes there is humour to watching the geeks be geeks and the beauties be a bit dippy but there is nothing on the same level as Peep Show's David Mitchell's gently sarcastic narration. Certainly Brian Mcfayden (no, thankfully not that one) is no comparison and he is a very bland host – taking it all too seriously and having nothing about him that is interesting or original.The geeks are a solid mix of normal people who are a bit smart, dorky people as well as at least one who is basically Woody Allen exposed to radiation to the point where he has become an Uber-geek. The beauties are a fairly bland collection of white women with just one ethnic minority thrown in. In fairness this was the same with the UK show but the British ones had different personalities and backgrounds making most of them actually quite interesting. Sadly in the US they are pretty much all the same and it does take something away from proceedings. The show allows them to be themselves and draws comedy from that but any potential for poking fun at them is lost under the overwhelming gushing about how we're all the same underneath, not judging others etc etc. True the UK one had similar bits but it was not as heavy handed and emotional as it was here.The tasks are still entertaining enough but the people not being as interesting meant that I didn't really care who was evicted or not. Overall then this is a so-so game show that pales in comparison to the much better UK version. Maybe if I'd seen the US one first I would have liked it more but as it is I just couldn't help but find the UK version funnier, lighter, less serious, not taking itself too seriously and all in all more entertaining. The idea is still solid enough in theory to produce an OK show but if you want to see it in a different light then check out the UK version – it does the same things well but dodges a lot of the "American" weaknesses.

I thought this was one of the best reality shows out there. Instead of bringing out the worst in people it brings out things that are positive and inspiring. I bet all the contestants leave feeling like they can be good people, which I'm sure doesn't happen with a lot of reality shows. Most people should be embarrassed by how they treated people. I hope that they decide to create another season.The only thing that kinda spoiled part of the show would be Cheryl. She had a bad attitude and I didn't like the fact that her and Wes hooked up. Yeah she did make a turn around, but too late everyone already hated her. At least everyone was in unison in that decision. Overall bravo for making a good t.v. show that didn't exploit everyone.

I actually found this unlike many reality shows to involve many "life-like" fun issues. I watched the marathon during the holiday. In summation, I feel that "Beauty and the Geek" should give hats off to at least one of the gentlemen involved. One participant seemed to be obsessed with mentioning his name, yelling his name during one activity and focusing his every thought (even involvement with other players) on defaming the other participant. Remaining on the positive note, the gentleman handled his behavior quite "naturally" by ignoring him or responding in a calm manner. One of the positives was that the show is about socialization which is what sometimes "classifies" some people as "geeks". Sure we have all met someone so "disturbed" by our presence that behavior becomes intolerable.
