A reality show I actually like, Beauty and the Geek, is disappointing me in two ways right now. First, the season features a Geek contestant named Greg who is a "Clothing Designer/Pastry Chef" and "Self-Proclaimed 'Gaysian'". This rankles not because the guy is gay (or Asian) but because a fashion designing pastry chef who calls himself a gaysian isn't exactly the kind of pasty, Brillo-haired, clodhopper-wearing Geek that we've come to expect from the show. Hopefully it's all just marketing spin and Greg will walk onto the first episode wearing a cape and speaking Ferengi. The other, more alarming, news about the new season is the rumor that, for the first time in the show's history, beauties and geeks will compete against each other, rather than with one another. But then how are they supposed to learn and grow and change and become bestest, strangest friends and possibly more?? Sigh.
