{television} beauty and the geek; season two (2006)

The second season of this Ashton Kutcher-produced "social experiment" brings together a whole new roster of contestants -- eight beauties and eight geeks -- to compete for a $250,000 shared prize. Challenges this time around include a racy game of strip poker, an interior decorating assignment, a karaoke contest, a makeover and a race to assemble a computer and burn a single song onto a CD.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: **** The geeks this year were bigger geeks and the girls were more stupid that the girls in the previous season. No more Brian McFaden as host, not that Mike Richards was that much better. Chris was a jerk from day one and put a target on his back. I was so glad to see him go and his partner Tristin got on my nerves because she kept taking it personally when they wanted to eliminate them as a team even though she wasn't the target. They clearly wanted to get rid of Chris and she was just collateral damage. Wes was the only guy that I'd look twice at, even before the makeover (which just made him ever cuter) but he wasn't as hot as Brad from the first season.
