Beauty and the Geek

I'm just watching this brilliant show on TV called 'Beauty and the Geek' where they put together seven, not-so bright (avoidance of the usage of the more apt albeit offensive, 'dumb', to be noted) beautiful women, and seven very academically bright guys, they choose to term as 'Geeks' and they give them challenges to perform in order to have some sort of skill transfer.
The funny thing to notice is that, every season, there's always a Chinese guy and an Indian guy amongst the geeks. When these guys come on TV to make any statement, there is a description of what they do for a living, or why they deserved to be called a geek, as a scroll under their name. This season, the guy of Indian origin in the house is 21 year old fellow called Sanjay. When Sanjay comes on TV, there's a scroll under his name that says, "Virgin"!!!
I'm guessing the West has quite a different world view huh?

you know...if you'd just had the gall to leave your name, it'd be worthwhile wasting a little sarcasm on you!

Seriously people! 'Discussions' are nicer when non-anonymous!
