Okay, true confession time: I’ve been watching “Beauty and the Geek 2.” I’d love to say it was only because of the MIT connection (one of the male competitors, Ankur, is an MIT grad student), but honestly it’s a sweet reality show. The concept that smart-but-klutzy geeks and smooth-but-dumb beauties can actually learn from each other… and that they can grow fond of each other… brilliant. Every geek in the world is guaranteed to become hooked on the first viewing…
Alas, Ankur was eliminated tonight. But I’ll keep watching. I’m a fan of the Woody Allen-esque Josh. I guess this means I’m now officially TV deadweight; this is the first reality show I’ve watched consistently, and it’s hard not to be hooked.
