Beauty and The Geek
Beauty
and The Geek was the brain child of Aston
Kutcher and Jason Goldberg.
This
show followed in the tradition of Big
Brother - with beautiful, academically-challenged women
paired up with smart but socially-challenged men (um, real geeks)
to compete for $250,000 grand prize.
Men
and women were coupled to compete in challenges that specifically
tested their weaknesses. The women took part in intellectual debates
and rocket building, while the men were asked to decorate a room
and learn a little about fashion. Each challenge tested how well
these partnerships were helping contestants to, as the show puts
it, "embrace their inner opposite."
The
show exploited stereotypes for our amusement and in such a competitive
way for five seasons Tuesday nights at 8 p.m.on the CW channel.
