Beauty and the Geek was actually a competition, not a dating show at all. They were male/female teams, but they never became more than that. There was only one couple on the entire series really and they weren't even team mates. I actually really enjoyed that show.<br /><br />I used to watch the Bachelor and the Bachelorette though, it was the one dating reality show I ever watched. I guess the appeal is the exotic and romantic locations they visit and all the romantic language they use towards each other, but it quickly got old. It was too fake and the drama was over the top. The commercials for the show are actually completely misleading. The things they advertise as going to happen almost never happen.E.B.

I think the draw for me is that I've always been really interested in relationships - why some people work together and others don't and though it's obviously not a real life situation, putting people in those kind of extremes to pick a potential partner really highlights some of those reasons. And I also won't deny the fact that I'm a sucker for drama:)Monica Goulethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15012424439552633368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2224377501657529009.post-15690204001644692322012-06-15T06:30:04.993-06:002012-06-15T06:30:04.993-06:00I'm with you, but I think it's similar to ...I'm with you, but I think it's similar to how drivers slow down near a motor vehicle accident. Some aren't looking and merely slowing to make sure everyone's safe. But many others want a chance to see gore or carnage or human suffering, so they can shiver the tingles away and thank God it wasn't them.Matt Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171715051853671712noreply@blogger.com
