Beauty and the Geek is a reality television series. The premise of the show consists of a group of “Beauties” (young women who have relied primarily on their looks) and a group of “Geeks” (young men who have relied primarily on intellect). They are paired up to compete as couples for the prizes. In the fourth season, it included an extra team with a male “beauty” and a female “geek”. For the fifth season, the beauties and geeks competed against each other at first, and teams of one beauty and one geek were not selected until episode three. Each beauty lives with her geek in a room during the competition. There are challenges in each episode – one testing the beauties on academic subject, and another that has the geeks competing in a more social realm.

Here is the sneak peak of the new season in 2013.

 

The show simply plays on stereotypes – “beauties” are those attractive young women but aren’t very bright and “geeks” are smart but peculiar guys with limited social skills. It is based on how well the beauty and the geek get along.

I’m 21 this year. In this twenty something category, it’s like growing up, but not yet an adult, I still recognize that I’m part kid. It’s easy to be controlled by our age; and the expectations that supposed to be at certain stages. Few years ago, I was still like wondering when I would be old enough to get a driving license or just go legally drinking. People always say that the “twenties” is short. It always stuck in my mind – by what age I graduate, buy your first apartmente, get married, have kids, then by when I should start my retirement. All these “goals” which should be able to acheive at certain stages in our life don’t even match the goals I  plan to reach when I was still a ten something teenager.

It is funny. When I was fifteen, I couldn’t wait to be eighteen. When I was eighteen, I planned to be married by 25 with two kids. When I was twenty, I made a list of all the goals I had in my mind and hope to accomplish them. I am already at the exact stage which everything seems so far away years ago. Time does change everything. I have been always hoping to get a ticket to Europe. I hope to travel around the world. I hope to have interesting conversations with strangers from different countries. I hope to get my dream job. I hope I don’t do only any of these things I hope but all of them.
