Beauty And The Geek

It's been too long since i have watched Fox 8! There was this show called "Beauty and the Geek" that features 8 hot chicks paired up with 8 nerds. It's some quasi-Survivor type show, with people winning immunity from challenges.

But the main thrust of the show is to demonstrate the "other side of the coin" for those people who have not encountered such hotness/geekness before.

By far the best one from my intensive research (ie it was the only one I watched) was the first season. It was a strange thing, but I felt a certain sense of pride for those "geeks" that were willing to have a go at some reality TV show. They made it to the end, and from what I saw, they seemed like better people for it.

I remember doing a self assessment and one of my traits is "includer", and part of the descriptions was as follows:

Your accepting nature does not necessarily rest on the belief that each of us is different and that one should respect those differences. Rather, it rests on your conviction that fundamentally we are all the same.

In the interviews afterwards, the contestants were saying "oh, we had nothing to say when we first met, but we built up a rapport as we got to know each other". It has been my sincere belief that everyone can relate to each other, if you make the effort. There are no people out that that you cannot find some commonality with. It's good to see a show that demonstrates that (and have some random hot tub scenes with the 'beauties' :))
