Contrary to popular belief, “Beauty and the Geek” is not the title of the upcoming SarahK and Frank J biography–it’s one of my favorite shows ever. If you don’t watch it you’re missing out on one of the highlights of your life. The big twist is revealed–this year there is a male beauty (a big dumb meathead), and a female geek (a musicologist who probably showers with a metronome).

The women are to be tested on something related to current events, and the geeks have to write a rap song and perform it on stage. Hillarity ensues. 3 6 Mafia serve as judges. First up–the girl geek–she is surprisingly ill equipped for rap despite her music background. She does get the chance to “show off her booty” though, which she appreciated. The guy geeks mostly forgot the lyrics, with a few notable exceptions. One, was the first juggling rap act I’ve ever seen. Another was the first lisping rapper I’ve ever seen. The lisper gets the title of MC Geeky–probably because he was the most pathetic looking.

Surprisingly, the beauties seem to be very down on the male beauty. Their challenge is a debate judged by a couple political pundits. To put it mildly, logic does not rule the day. But hey, they’re all cute, so all is forgiven. The big meathead wins, mostly because his topic–lowering the drinking age–plays right into his profession–club event organizer (I’m not kidding).

The Ultimate Hooters Girl (I’m not kidding) is very nervous. The aspiring Playmate (I’m not kidding) is similarly concerned. A couple bimbettes get busted eavesdropping on the couples that get to put couples up for elimination. In the words of the Babysitter, “tsk tsk.”

The LARPer shows up in full knightly regalia–he is a Live Action Role Player, which means he dresses up to play Dungeons and Dragons–as if playing D&D was not geeky enough. Talk about turning it up to 11!

In the final quiz, it is the Ultimate Hooters Girl versus the aspiring Playmate. First question–how many stars were on the flag in 1994–she says 13! Second question–name 3 presidents in last 40 years (besides the Bushs)–the Playmate says JFK, which is more than 40 years back now. Third question–pick the Constitution Preamble from a list–easy. Fourth–what does OPEC stand for (my guess is 95% of the population doesn’t know this one, including me and SarahK). The Hooters girl leads 1 to 0.

Next up the geeks. First, how many times has Fity Cent been shot–9 times. Second, some question about white rappers which the Asian fellow blows–game over.

Sadly, the Playmate (with her $9,000 fake chest) and the shy, bow-tie wearing Asian are eliminated. Oh well, I didn’t care much for them anyway.

Make sure to catch the repeat on Thursday if you missed it tonight!
