I’m on Beauty and the Geek! November 29, 2006

Posted by Niels in : Beauty and the Geek, Personal , trackback

I’ve had to keep my mouth shut for months and months and months, but finally I can blab:

I’M ON BEAUTY AND THE GEEK!  (I’m in the middle. I think they photoshopped my abs.)

(Oh, and I bet all you guys taking private lessons from me are feeling pretty silly now, huh?)

That’s right, it’s official.  I’m a fake celebrity.  And anybody who thinks social skills aren’t teachable is going to get to see exactly what I looked like when I started.

This is going to be interesting.  There’s some things that I’m looking forward to watching, and some things that could be a little uncomfortable.  Plus, you have to figure that after commercials, each episode is about 45 minutes.  Minus the time devoted to showing the competitions, that leaves about 30 minutes.  Divided among 16 people, that’s 2 minutes per person per episode, and the producers get to pick those two minutes from an entire month’s worth of footage.

Which means they could make any character they want out of me.  Interesting…

given that you’re a professional flirting instructor, does that still make you a geek?

ryc: haha! well since i’m ‘looking’ for a boyfriend, it probably isn’t a good idea to get marvy (or anybody) to set me up haha!

So, you’re the best looking guy in the WB picture. On the other hand, there aren’t so many good looking girls.

okay, so i found you through my blog and…wow. who ARE you? anyhow, i was a fake celeb once (or on numerous occasions, if you count all the red-carpet rich-kid parties I went to on account of my friend Hunter, who was on Survival of the Richest). I was on some show with Bullshit in the title. Can’t even remember the full name or what channel. I never saw the show, was a favor to a friend. Anyhow, the geeks look better than the beauties. If I were you, I’d take my chances with the real world. Cheers!

I’ve just finished watching the final eps of this BATG series - which is being aired for the first time in Australia.

I must say I’m surprised and disappointed with what I’m reading here - does this mean that the you were acting the whole time? Is the rest of the cast the same?

Hey I also just watched the finale on Australian TV. I live and breathe this show.

You should have relocated your blogging down here while it was airing, you’d still have some B-list star power. Well maybe not, they showed the program at 11.30 on a Tuesday night.

Anyway, all the best mate.

Hey Colin - don’t forget to watch Thursday night, there will be the ‘reunion’ episode
