ok so a few people have mentioned this beauty & the geek to me - and tonight is indeed an encore (thank heavens for encores!) showing of the premiere which aired last night - check the note below i got from buddy jason...thanks for the heads up! popbytes out for now...

MK - I know that your TiVo cup runneth over, but I caught what could be the best reality show on TV last night - if you have a chance to see the re-run of the premiere (I think it’s happening this evening), I heartily recommend it - Jason ------
It all starts with seven women who are academically impaired. Next, add seven men who are brilliant but socially challenged. The concept is to pair up couples for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize. Each mismatched pair competes in various activities designed to test intellect, fashion savvy and even dance moves. There's a spelling bee for the girls, massage lessons for the guys, and an introduction to actual rocket science when the girls compete to see who can build a working rocket. During these competitions, the geek must try to pass his brains onto the beauty, while the beauty tries to pull the game out of the geek. They're so far apart on the social spectrum that they're practically different species, but if they make it to the end, they could both walk away gifted and gorgeous.
