SFist Watches: Fall TV Premieres Tonight

The premiere offerings tonight are limited, with the 8 p.m. return of "Beauty and the Geek" on the CW being the only new show in the line-up. The show maintains its "hot girls, geeky guys" convention once again this season, but they will be adding one geeky girl and one hot guy to the "social experiment" this time around. That's right, this isn't a dating show, although there have been hook-ups in the past. Instead, the geeks try to expand the girls' minds, while the girls try to help the geeks up their game. Ha ha ha! Look how dumb the girls are! Ho ho ho! Look how socially inept the geeks are! Lather, and repeat. We have no idea if any of the geeks or beauties hail from the Bay Area, as their bios don't give out that info, but we hope so, because the reality TV locals pickings are slim this season!
Speaking of slim, if you'd like to watch a bunch of overweight Americans work out and moan about their diets instead, there's always "The Biggest Loser" at 8 p.m. on NBC. (It had its season premiere last Tuesday.) We will attest that this is one of the best shows to watch while working out. Nothing will give you the motivation to stay on that elliptical an extra ten minutes than the sight of a 350-pound guy dragging a giant tire across the desert. Nothing!


Not that I'm a fan of Caroline Rhea, but that new hostess of Biggest Loser really sucks. She should stick with soaps. Could she be any more lifeless and boring?
YES... one of the JOSH's is from Oakland, CA and is getting his BA in Mechanical Engineering from UC-Berkeley (and is the president of the rubber band club!!!) Get the dirt on him! He's cute!
