We seem to be getting older, but, the world is definitely not changing. At least not when it comes to reality TV shows produced by Ashton Kutcher. The latest season of WB's Beauty and the Geek has introduced us to yet another group of eight soon-to-be-infamous cookie-cutter geeks, each hand-selected from their respective demographic; And, all for our viewing enjoyment. We have the Star-Wars guy, the Star-TREK guy, the Skinny guy, the Pi guy, the NES guy,the Indian guy. I think that is it.

However, something is off. Our crackpot staff at MM have identified at least 2 geek-plants. Or GENTS. First there is Nate, the lovable long-haired star-wars tribute band lead singer. He wears 60s style vintage clothing- making sure not 2 pieces match at the same time: looking more like Jughead Jones-meets-Williamsburg, Brooklyn than someone fitting his title. Furthermore, his perfect 3-month growth of hair/beard combo seems to cover up the normal- perhaps even cute - face of a new york based punish cauci-actor that just wants his 15 minutes of fame. (Remember Lifshitz?? Right). But, truthfully, Why not? Heck- who wouldn't want to hang out with 8 beautiful babes for 8 weeks in a mansion, even if 75% are blond and/or dumb? Its great, you only competition is a 90 lb dude who has never seen a girl naked; and a 350 lb one who has a Nintendo controller tattooed on his forearm. Even I like star wars. Who doesn't? That hardly qualifies me as the top 10 geeks in the us.

Before you think I am over reacting, consider the stand-up challenge. Our insider seemed pretty confident on stage, almost as if he has had acting lessons in the past. Combine that with the fact that the upcoming episode promises us both a makeover and a hook-up. I think we have the making of yet another B&G scandal.

Side note. The other plant, who couldn't help smirking when he claimed he didn't know what it meant to "get booty" was kicked off of week 1. Which proves something, though I am not sure what.
