Beauty and the Geek
[This tv reality show will be on it's last 3 episodes (I think) from next week. So better catch it if you are staying home on Fridays, 7.30pm ]
I have been following the show since 2 weeks back, I think blokes oughta catch this one. Basically, the show puts 7 geeks (READ: nerds) and 7 beauties (READ: Lingerie model and beer promotion gal kind) together in mansion and see how they get along. Each geek is paired up with a beauty and each episode, each gender is tested on a subject that they are unfamiliar with. The winner gets to pick people to go to a test room to test out their knowledge and if they fail out of 6 qns (between the pair), they get booted out.
Tonight's episode, the girls challenge was to test on their knowledge on "finance" which really is maths. They are sent to a shop and are to purchase a new wardrobe for their geek partner and the final bill, including tax, must not be over US$1000. What kinda challenge is that? However, I think their effort paid off. With new clothes and better hair, most of the geeks look really charming in the getup put together by the girls. I think one even look as suave as Matthew McConaughey...
So now that they are dressed appropriately, the guys challenge were to go out in public and get the most number of telephone numbers of ladies. Well, the process was interesting. But some of the blokes learn through the process, while others just can't get out of their low self-confidence shell.
Then comes the final challenge. The girls were tested on "finance" and the guys on rules of dating a girl.
My jaw dropped at the questions posed to the girls... "If you have 5 dozen of roses, how many roses are there?" "What is 15% of $50"
Duh. I am not kidding.
"If you buy a shirt worth $15 and another dress $24 dollars, plus a shoes $45, how much do you spent?"
Double Duh. These are primary 2-3 Maths in Singapore. I mean, really, are the girls really so...?
Then comes the guys' challenge. "On a first date, who should foot the bill?"
Wah lauuuuuu.....
"How many percent of tip on a dinner date should you give to impress the girl?"
HUH? And yes, there is an answer to that question.
Well, at least the challenges in the earlier episodes were more interesting... How to make rockets for girls, aromatherapy for the guys... Now that I am typing this, I think the objective of the series is pretty obvious. To show the world that geeks are as geek as they can get, and beauties from the beer and lingerie arena don't know their maths. Well, I guess that's what you can expect from the series producer, Ashton Kutcher. (Wonder what did Demi Moore see in him...)
Well, one thing for sure. I think the show proved that I am right in my theory of the dressing of men. The guys really look so much better (yes, in the girls words "hot!") when their hairs are coloured and cut to style, and they are dressed in more stylish shirts and jeans. Yes, the geeks in the show all wear pants and shirts one...
As for the answer to the guys questions:
"On a first date, who should foot the bill?"
- It's not the guy. It's the person who ask the other out first. Or the Asker. (Americans!!!)
"How many percent of tip on a dinner date should you give to impress the girl?"
- 20%. Haha.. now this is really unbelievable. Even the girl partner of the guy who answer that question says she doesn't know about it too.
