info about the reality show krystal [my coach] is on!
Ashton Kutcher, the man behind "Punk'd," is teaming up with the WB for a new reality series this summer.
"Beauty and the Geek" is to couple seemingly mismatched pairs of models and nerds, and to see what happens.
"It's really looking at stereotypes of people and how we look at beautiful women and not-so-beautiful men," said David Janollari, the WB's entertainment president.
Aren't you already feeding the stereotype, David, by saying the models are beautful and the nerds are not so beautiful? That's so shallow. There are plenty of men who'll look past the swimsuit pin-up for the matronly shrew. And there are loads of babes who fantasize about dweeby brainiacs (albeit none we've met).
To win, the beauties and the geeks will go through a series of competitions: combining wits on a camping trip, learning how to dance and working at a deli (the guys help the girls figure out how to make change).
Ah, another stereotype: The beauties are also stupid.
hahah, this is gonna be a great show!
