I do understand where everyone on this thread is coming from, but its television and whether or not they're casting based on how smart/talented/good looking you are it seems that their purpose of sending in the video/picture combo is to see how it is "to be you" and how you are balanced into both nerdy and girly at the same time [(which is what is portrayed in their little promo video on their website). In addition to all the things that Kelli has presented in detail that makes complete sense]. Which to me is great because I feel like in a video I would be able to really portray my personality in opposed to an essay explaining why I fit their criteria.

As for all the comments about the name of the show and gender stereotypes and such, I don't know why we're nitpicking because you guys, its a reality television show, they know what they're putting across. Whether you like it or not, its what they feel the target audience is gonna wanna watch (why is it that way, I don't have the answer so DON'T attack me on saying that). Maybe you're not in that audience.

With all that said, I'm going for it for funsies. Don't have anything to lose. I like what they're trying to put across because to me, they're saying pretty girls can be smart too and smart girls can also be attractive (in personality, appearance, or both). *shrug
