Talk:Beauty and the Geek (American TV series)

Watching another episode from season 1, me and my brother wondered how long each week was for the contestants. When richard and chuck were starting to irritate each other, was this after about 10 days, or 5 weeks? Just wondering.

Richard Durbin's Myspace???

How did people find RIchard Durbin's myspace website? I am curious because if Richard himself is editing this page...wow. haha Thanks.

Where's Season 1 Cast Information?

I noticed that there is no Season 1 cast information or website links. I thought it would be a good idea to include people like Richard and Mindi's websites, since they're the reason there was a Season 2. Thanks.--Zrr 23:40, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cheating?

If anyone can confirm this. I just listened to the Season 1 Finale, and I believe when Chuck is being asked what Caitilin's middle name is you can barely hear someone say something like "asimo" three times. Once, then a pause then twice in succession. You can definitely hear the "s" sound and three syllables. I was listenting with headphones to a Divx version so it may be hard to hear regularly.

There was also the time when chuck won the competition of trying to get women's phone numbers, and chuck pretended to be a gay screenwriting student. Not cheating, but damn is it against the point.

Personal Sites

This list of websites, such as blogs, and MySpace's is getting pretty long, should we keep them? Tvaughn05 _e ^(Talk)_(Contribs) 05:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think that the current setup is working well enough but if there is enough support I suppose that we could integrate it into the cast table?

Cast

The Beauties	The Geeks	Notes
Amanda "Hairstylist"	Brandon "Assistant Neurobiologist"	Amanda's original partner: Chris Brandon's original partner: Tristin (changed after Week 1)
Brittany "Tanning Salon Administrator"	Joe "Speed Chess Champion"
Cher "Beer Spokesmodel"	Josh "Museum Critic"
Danielle "Cocktail Waitress"	Karl "Dungeon Master"
Jennipher "Camp Counselor"	Ankur "MIT Graduate"
Sarah "Dental Assistant"	Wes "Tracks Monkeys With Lasers"
Thais "Model"	Tyson "Rubik's Cube Record Holder"
Tristin "Cocktail Waitress/Shot Girl"	Chris "Has Only Kissed One Girl"	Tristin's original partner: Brandon Chris's original partner: Amanda (changed after Week 1)

It's fairly rough and doesn't include the sites of the cast members with multiple sites or Tyson's blog because he already has a wikipedia link, which is arguably more important... -Dave 03:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism section

I stripped the criticism section. "Criticism" sections or articles require extremely strong justification to stay in Wikipedia; they tend to attract POV. In this case it had no sources, no justification for its permanency. Feel free to reinsert if notable figures are quoted saying what was in the removed text.

Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Cleanup Co-ordination

This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
the article has multiple overlapping problems.
the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.

Discussion

uh...

This article doesn't explain the actual nature of the competition, that is, what form the competition takes. So, maybe it should do that. I don't watch the show so I'll leave it to people who know more about this topic than I.

The following material in the overview was removed Nov. 23, 2006 (U.S. time) (see [1] and [2]):

The show matches physically attractive, but intellectually challenged women with geeky-looking, socially inept, "genius" men, and have them try to learn from each other. The women try to learn about academia, such as rocket science or auto mechanics, from the men while the men try to learn social skills from the women. The pairs must room together, including sleeping in the same bed, in a large mansion that provides the setting of the show.

The first season begins with seven "beauties" and seven "geeks". The second season begins with eight "beauties" and eight "geeks". The men and women take turns choosing partners by introducing themselves in gender-divided rooms. Once paired off, the teams work together to become proficient in unfamiliar areas of study. Their skills are tested in a series of competitions, usually one for the men and one for the women. The winners of each competition get to choose one team each to go to an elimination round, or both if each partner wins their respective round. In the elimination room, the women then the men answer three questions each about their area of study. The team with the most points (or the winner of the tiebreaker in the event of a tie) remains in the mansion. The other team leaves immediately.

The remaining team wins $250,000, split 50/50, paid out over 5 years. The winner of the first $250,000 prize was Chuck and Caitilin. The winner of the second $250,000 prize was Josh and Cher.

Perhaps the material should be replaced (with appropriate updates and cleanup)?--GregRM 20:52, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Romance?

While it was never a dating show, but in season 2, Wes & Cher were very tight since Vegas. Had any other people hooked up with other fellow cast members (or even their teammate since the show?203.100.211.54 08:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)TimHowardII[reply]

Nate and Jennylee got together in Season three, but no word on if they have continued the relationship.

Ah... I haven't seen season 3 yet. 124.197.37.127 08:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)TimHowardII[reply]

Photos

For Seasons 1 and 3, the photo of the entire cast is present, but Season 2 photo is of only the girls. The article ought to have a photo of the whole cast or at least an additional photo of the boys.

Study Materials

I think that the producers should recommend their study materials for us. It could be very useful for us, too. Like, for the question about the 4 taboo topics on the first date, Josh mentioned politics, religion and ex-partners. What is the final taboo category, or what are the 25 different ways to kiss someone? I was asked in a pub quiz, and I had to name 10 of them, but I only got 6. 124.197.37.127 08:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)TimHowardII[reply]

Next season?

When will the next season start? I'm embarrassed to say it but I really like this show! Amalgamator 05:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
