I actually found this unlike many reality shows to involve many "life-like" fun issues. I watched the marathon during the holiday. In summation, I feel that "Beauty and the Geek" should give hats off to at least one of the gentlemen involved. One participant seemed to be obsessed with mentioning his name, yelling his name during one activity and focusing his every thought (even involvement with other players) on defaming the other participant. Remaining on the positive note, the gentleman handled his behavior quite "naturally" by ignoring him or responding in a calm manner. One of the positives was that the show is about socialization which is what sometimes "classifies" some people as "geeks". Sure we have all met someone so "disturbed" by our presence that behavior becomes intolerable.
