Where are the geeks in Beauty and the Geek?

By: asavari_singh | Posted Mar 21, 2011 | General | 622 Views | (Updated Mar 21, 2011 12:51 AM)

Big knockers, check. Evidence of eating disorders, check. Skanky make-up, check. And yes, they don't even know the full form of 'IQ'. OK, so the 'beauties' are just the kind of bimbos that one would hope for in the Indian edition of the Beauty and the Geek.


But let's check out the 'geeks'. Weird clothes, check? Aesthetic challenges, check? Qualifications? Fail. NONE of the geeks on this show are geeks. Freaks perhaps, but not geeks. While one's job description is 'KFC team member', another is an 'MBA aspirant', one's a 'dance instructor', while one, here, hopes rise, is from MIT. Uh, but no, he's probably never been to Massachusetts in his life.


A geek is NOT just any random guy who lacks looks and style. Geeks are powerful. Geeks are wonderful. They do inspirational stuff even if some of the more hard-core ones make you throw up a little in your mouth when they try to kiss you.


This show makes no sense at all without representatives from IIT or medical school or even an IIM. There is no evidence that they've achieved anything outstanding, academically or otherwise. The tagline 'Akal Meets Shakal ' is utterly misleading. It should simply be 'Shakal Meets No Shakal'.


'No Akal Meets No Akal' would be just as appropriate.


Once again, fail.
