Quote:
It all starts with seven women who are academically impaired. Next, add seven men who are brilliant but socially challenged. The concept is to pair up couples for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize. Each mismatched pair competes in various activities designed to test intellect, fashion savvy and even dance moves. There's a spelling bee for the girls, massage lessons for the guys, and an introduction to actual rocket science when the girls compete to see who can build a working rocket. During these competitions, the geek must try to pass his brains onto the beauty, while the beauty tries to pull the game out of the geek. They're so far apart on the social spectrum that they're practically different species, but if they make it to the end, they could both walk away gifted and gorgeous.


im watching this first ep now, its an odd show but quite a few of us might relate to the guys they have on the show, all are extreamly smart with little social skills, no offence intended to anyone, its an odd show, but might turn out good in the end

I watched the first ep last night too.

It was actually quite a bit better than I was expecting. The winners were gracous and the losers thoughtful. I'm still worried about the "insult" factor though. To make people do what they are weakest at, in front of an audiance and on TV....I just don't know. Even last night Richard got mad, angry at his partner when she said she messed up the dance. And this was *after* they already had imunity. How quickly will tempers flair and insults fly when they get closer to the final rounds.

I guess I'm just not a reality TV fan.

I'm not big on reality TV either, but this one caught my eye so I decided to watch it. I was also slightly impressed. The only thing I didn't like was how most of the contestants had their job or something equivalent to go beneath their name whenever they spoke, but two of the guys had "Never Kissed A Girl" and "Never Been On A Date" I just thought that was mean. Although, the guy that has never been on a date, I can't figure out why. He's like the stereotypical sweet guy that you see on TV what with studying Shakespeare in London and tutoring elementary schoolers.
