I'm neither a beauty or a geek. If they gave me a smart enough bimbo, I could win that show. Most of the geek roles are all "socially demanding" games. I'd pwn them....

And the women are gorgeous, with huge breasts, but they are all dumber than a pile of rocks. I almost think some of that is staged.

some? i bet its all staged.

Geeky chicks are hot, because you know under that good-girl exterior there's a freak waiting to come out. :p

While goths might be geeky, they're a whole different subset of geeky. :p

I mean the shy girl with the glasses, ponytail, studying in the library, with that innocent look on her face.

And if there's any girls like that reading this - please, stop pretending you're not hot. Seriously. At any given time, between 50 and 90% of the men in your vicinity are fantasizing about corrupting your innocence, or facade thereof. ;)

I'm too good looking, I'm not in any tech related field (Personal Trainer), I'm in good shape and I've actually been laid and have a girlfriend. I'm only a "geek" due to the fact that I enjoy gaming a little. If I was single though I might at least try and get on... play it up like I was a huge nerd, then try and get my swerve on off camera.

I'm also not modest at all.

That said, I watched a couple episodes with this one guy who was sort of like a "Recovered Nerd." He was decent looking, not scrawny, not socially awkward... I was surprised he got on the show. He was totally shagging one of the competing women too... who eventually got kicked off.

I hope it's staged. If it's not, then it is really sad that these Geeks look booksmart, but are too stupid to notice everyone laughing at them. I only saw 5 minutes of it, but omfg, did their contract tell them to dress like complete tools or is that what they think is cool? Even a geek should be able to get a freaking tux or suit, plaid, huge bow-ties, wtf!

I would totally go for it, even though i tend to be shy as hell with people i don't know.

I don't think i'd do too well though, as IMO, some of those challenges are pretty damn hard.
