And what's Beauty and the Geek without stereotyping?  The show opens with the "geeks" arriving at their lavish mansion riding…scooters.  Yes, scooters.  Because as you may or may not be aware, all geeks ride scooters.  It comes with the territory.  One at a time, let's meet this year's group of computer-loving, Star Trek watching, non-woman touching geeks:

Piao:  He's 0 for his life when it comes to dating.

Drew:  He's a Trekkie.  Enough said.

Niels:  He's smarter than you.  And he's from my hometown.  And his name is plural.

Nate:  He sings in a Star Wars themed band.  Since when was that geeky?  He also looks like he's been living in a cave for quite some time.

Scooter:  He went to Harvard.  And he can't dress.

Mario:  He loves comic books.  And he's got a tattoo of a Nintendo controller.

Matt:  He went to MIT. 

Sanjay:  He's a virgin.  At least that's the one word description we get of him. 

Now that we've met this year's geeks, it's time for the "Beauties!"  Instead of being mocked by being forced to ride in on scooters, the Beauties arrive by limo.  And here they are:

Jennylee:  She loves being attractive.  And her parents couldn't think of a human name.

Andrea:  She's a pageant queen.  Her shirt is very sparkly.  And there's no way those are real.

Erin:  She doesn't know people actually GO to Harvard.  Yes, it's true.

Tori:  She loves thinking she's awesome.

Nadia:  Former cheerleader and current "sorority girl."  Oh, and she dreams of becoming a nuclear physicist.  Just kidding.

Sheree:  The last book she read was Sweet Value High and clearly not Hairstyles to Make Your Forehead Look Smaller, because dear God that thing is huge.

Cecille:  She's a bikini model and kinda looks like Anna Nicole Smith, except she's not as smart.

Megan:  She's apparently a Playboy model.  I don't see it.

Now that we've met this year's contestants it's time to get started!

Our host Brian comes out and tells us all what we already know – the Geeks will be paired up with the Beauties and it's their mission to bring out their intellectual side and it's the Beauty's mission to make the geeks more social.  The two groups are separated into two different rooms in order to choose partners.  One by one they are able to meet and choose their partner, but can't see each other.  Not that looks are important or anything.

Paio can't stop grinning when he creepily tells us he hasn't seen this many attractive women since the last "men's magazine he flipped through at the 7-11." 

For some reason the girls are surprised.  They didn't expect guys that looked THAT GEEKY!  Apparently they thought they were going to be on the Bachelor, Los Angeles.  They were wrong.  Drew volunteers to introduce himself first and enters the other room where he is paired off with Erin because they both like the adjective fantastic.  Meanwhile, I'm just impressed that Erin knows what an adjective is.  Andrea is next to cross the hall and introduces herself and gets paired up with Matt.  She's sparkly.  Matt tells her he knows 180 digits of Pi.  She didn't realize you can cut it into that many pieces.

Sanjay's next and does an impression of a blender.  It's about as impressive as it sounds.  Tori bites the bullet and they become this year's ethnic couple.  The question remains, which geek will become this year's surprise hot guy and which girl will become this year's beauty that hooks up?  Cecille's next and gets paired up with Grizzly Adams, er, Nate.  Nate is officially this year's leading candidate for surprise hot geek, once he comes out of his cave.

Mario introduces himself and after much debate is set up with Nadia.  Nadia feels that she was pressured into taking Mario.  I'm sure she won't feel bad about this later.  Next up is Jennylee, who tells us she's an "expert on things I know."  You know, like standing, walking, and…walking.  Niels takes her.  He's super excited to talk about cognitive radio and I think the word science physically hurts her brain.
