@@AusmaSarutobi2009AMV Hey, what you wrote was called a run-on sentence. You can split apart that whole thing you wrote by using punctuation marks. It also makes it a lot easier to understand.
@@AusmaSarutobi2009AMV Just a tiny bit of advice, periods and commas are your friends. So, don't be afraid to use them when typing out multiple sentences.
Remember, this came out in a time where having a comic book collection and playing video games made you a lonely loser that didn't do anything cool lol. Now it's the opposite.
The way the host said, "You need to leave, IMMEDIATELY." made me think that the entire show takes place inside of the host's house or the host's mom's house and she doesn't know he's filming a reality show.
I dated a geek who thought he was smarter than everyone else. I was a pretty girl with average smarts. He was a nightmare. Even the things I excelled in he had to try and one up me. If I knew more than him on a cedtian subject he had to immediately talk down to me in the most condescending manor. He made me feel so stupid 24/7. And I wasn't. He was insufferable
@@hollywoodspicynuggets5086 because sometimes people hide their worst qualities until their partner is deep into a relationship with them or people overlook red flags during the honeymoon period. easy to not understand if youve never been in a relationship before
Fun fact, the anxiety nosebleed actually makes perfect sense. A lot of people don't know, and I didn't even know until recently that the adrenaline released when you get anxious causes nose engorgement. And nose engorgement can sometimes lead to nosebleeds. Bonus fun fact: For me and many others, anxiety causes excess sniffing throughout the day because when your nose is engorged due to the adrenaline, your body feels like it's not getting enough oxygen and needs to sniff a lot to get extra air intake. I am frequently anxious and find myself excessively sniffing all the time, and it drives my husband absolutely bonkers. Can't help it, though. 😅
Yo thank you for bringing this up! I used to constantly get bloody noses while wrestling. It wasn’t till it happened in the bedroom that I finally got it looked at by a doctor lol. They were able cauterize the cut.
😮 thanks, you just answered a lifelong question. I've been concerned about my unexplained sniffles for years. I can't believe a doctor never told me this.
As someone with a deviated septum (broken nose) this can also increase nose bleeds and often causes the same issue. Potential solutions are cauterizing the exposed artery or re-break the nose, and put it back to its original position. Hope this helps someone!
I always appreciated that in this show, most of the contestants actually seemed pretty nice and like they got along. Not that I've seen every episode ever, but I don't recall any really big dramas, it was just a fun little watch
Honestly from what Ive seen so far, it seems like the only real douchebags right now are the producers for trying to actively belittle the contestants, especially the women
Yeah exactly, from what I remember (though I think I mostly saw the Australian version), it was really only the producers pushing stereotypes while the actual contestants were pretty chill
@@splendidsimpwhat do you mean especially the women lol. They're all getting shit on. Plus, let's be serious, some of those women are just dumb. D-Day??? Lmao
I’d actually like to know what happened to each contestant. I mean I can guarantee half the girls found some Chad or Simp to marry, popped out a couple kids, has lip injections, still tries to dress like she’s 22 and posts it all on Fb. The other half are still acting like they are 23, never really matured, and have Match profiles with a line that says “looking for someone to experience life with and can match my energy.”
“My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiancé” - Now that was some great American television. Premise is a woman has to convince she’s met a man on a dating show and truly loves him and is now filming the lead up to the wedding. This man isn’t the typical Bachelor contestant and does everything to be obnoxious. She wins the show if she can get through the wedding without her family objecting. It was great!
Nosebleeds are something that can be caused by stress, I used to get them a lot during high school because I was under a lot of pressure. And he definitely is feeling stressed by all this, but I think for SURE he also has some other underlying issue (within his nose, his sinuses, an anxiety disorder, etc) for it to be such a common problem for him.
Oh yeah, I would rather burst into flames than watch an actual episode of a reality show. But watching a UA-camr make jokes about a reality show? That's an enjoyable way to waste the precious hours of my life.
I love how the spelling bee audience was only meant to humiliate the girls and that the final questions were rigged to benefit the girl who was romantic with the one of the “geeks” for ratings. The existence of this show relies on putting both parties in weird sexualized situations with the added humiliation for the girls in regards to intelligence. Can’t wait to see how scripted this is to make everyone villains /s
Omg I was thinking that too, the girl who was into Brad had such easy questions in comparison to the other one. I already knew she was gonna win before they even started it 😭
"Joe" from this series actually has her own series on youtube called "Joe Goes" where she awkwardly interview people at different events. She also does rap battles and even won a rap battle event at one of the places she interviewed people.
Gunnar… you appeared on my FYP this past week. It took me to your Claim to Fame series. I don’t mind telling you that I thoroughly blame you for the fact that I then proceeded to blow a deadline and binged the entire 10 episodes of Claim to Fame. #DamnYouGunnar 🙃😅
15:58 Inside all of us there's a battle between two wolves. One cute, one creepy. Both nerdy asl. Which wolf will win this war of the ages? the wolf you feed.
The fact that this show was made by Ashton Kutcher is wild. I’m surprised nobody has done a video on it because it was kind of a big deal on WB (which is now CW) and lasted several seasons. I didn’t watch it when it was first on, but the old cable network Fox Reality would marathon it and that’s how I saw it. It’s such a weird show, but it’s strangely charming. This was a few years before nerd culture became popular, so it was ahead of its time.
I actually had tons of bloody noses as a kid because of my undiagnosed anxiety 😅 It was always at school, because the school was in a church the air flow was non-existent and our classroom had the dryest climate in the entire PNW. I'd get so anxious and embarrassed and my face would get so hot, and that combined with that crispy ass air made my nose a blood fountain 😂😂😂 I fr had a roll of paper towels in my desk because my evil teacher (fk u ms lotito/ mrs sin) got so mad every time I needed to go to the bathroom
I feel like the early 2000s reality is so much more fun because there's no expectation from the contestants to be world famous and they aren't trying as hard to grow their own brand
i personally love that you were screaming at the screen to that girl not to buy a house! haha as someone that got fucked in 08 in the housing crisis… it tickled me haha edit after watching: YES PLZ DO WHOLE SERIES living these early 2000s reacts man. i was 20 in 2005 and i clearly was too busy partying and was sleeping on this show for real lol
As a reasonable attractive, nerdy, and probably neurodivergent woman, this show is fascinating because I can somewhat relate to both sides! Nerd girlies where ya attt
I just read that Scarlet (Garcia), the girl that was teamed with Shawn (the assistant scoutmaster) was stabbed and murdered only a few years after this season was aired! 😢 Its super sad! I wish I hadn't looked up all the contestants now 😰
Thank you Gunnar for being so cool with the Lilly thing! Proud of her and happy for her! And no, it isn't disrespectful to refer to her as the way she presented on the show, especially since you aren't doing it out of malice. I do the same for my past self, it makes it less confusing to talk about. Granted, it can vary by person, but in this case it was handled really well and very respectfully!
@@throwpup I'm trans, calm down! Believe me, I know! But obviously, like Gunnar said, it's confusing speaking about a person we wouldn't have known was even trans if not for a twitch commenter updating us. So using the pronouns they use in the show is literally fine.
@@throwpup Yeah, that's absolutely fair, no trans person likes to be deadnamed like that. It does depend on the individual and the situation for sure ! I don't think Gunnar would purposely misgender her, especially since he apologized for doing so too. Some people just kinda split their life into two people and it's easier that way to talk about themselves pre transition. I just think in a situation like this where they're on a show with gender specific roles in this game, it's better to use what the show is using and apologize for it's lack of consistency, rather than all the transphobic comments that could've been made by Gunnar/all the transphobes watching this show shit with us. Y'know? IDK I hope that makes sense 😭
@@creaturehands You're forgetting that the average sane person doesn't give a crap about *any* of that. We go with what our senses tell us. I'm not going to play along with all the fantasy just so 0.01% of the population isn't offended. Boohoo. Cry about it, snowflake
@@creaturehands No opinion about it whatsoever. There are exactly 2 genders/sexes... Male, and female. Period. The word "immutable" indicates that, but if you weren't stuck in fantasy land, you'd understand how reality works. Luckily, the world is beginning to somewhat realize just how insane all of it is and push back. There may be hope for humanity yet.
I got ice cream for free from a Baskin Robins once because the cashier said I had really pretty eyes. I choked layup of course and just said "thanks" and left.

after watching: YES PLZ DO WHOLE SERIES living these early 2000s reacts man. i was 20 in 2005 and i clearly was too busy partying and was sleeping on this show for real lol
Are we watching this whole thing? I'm excited. I loved this back in 2005 and still think about the GEEK that had his own band and wonder where they are to this day.
I discovered Gunnar's channel last week and immediately thought , "I wish he did Beauty and the Geek!" And look, my prayers have been answered! Please do Average Joe next.
Bloody Nose in Anime is when the protagonist or character sees something overwhelmingly exciting usually a girl, an awkward nude encounter, or embarassing moment.
As a trans person, I think its fine for gunnar to use he/him for her since to make sure it doesnt get confusing. Especially since at the time she was he/him. Edit: What the fuck is going on in here, holy shit.
Trans girl here. It definitely depends on the person and what they say is okay. In normal situations, it’s best to always use present pronouns and name to refer to someone in the past. Here, it’s complicated because her perceived gender at the time is relevant to the tv show, and everyone in it is to some extent playing a character that’s questionably real. Personally, I think it would be better to use the new pronouns and new name unless she has specified otherwise at some point. That said, it’s a situation that’s complicated so I don’t at all blame anyone that chooses to go with the easier option. It’s not as if Gunnar is acting with bad intent (and has acknowledged the weirdness of the situation), which is what matters the most.
@@gem3763 you do make a good point. The fact that finding her socials (assuming she has some) would be hard on their own let alone if she even made a post on it also complicates things even more. I didn't think about the fact that it most definitely is person to person either tbh.
Finally, someone who isn’t over the top about mispronouns!!!! It’s getting to the point where I don’t even wanna talk to people anymore consider how offending they get off of an honest mistake. It’s exhausting 😫
@@lordhoweproductions3733 Have you ever even encountered someone in real life who's acted that way? I've met so many trans people and I have never *once* met anyone that's reacted that way to an honest mistake
@@gem3763 I did, Allie, used to work with her. She was cool, but she would have a meltdown every time someone would say something like “hey guys” or “man, that’s crazy”. She filed like 3 or 4 complaints towards fellow employees and she would cry about it. Idk, maybe hormones? But, it was like walking on eggshells around her. Got to the point people just stopped talking to her and around her. She doesn’t work with us anymore 🙏, but I do hope she finds her peace and accepts that the world isn’t out to get her lol.
the chokehold this show had on me in like 2014/15 omg. nothing beats this season though 😭 the heartbreak i felt when i figured out it wasn’t fully real
Welcome to "Reality" TV, where the editors and producers decide what is real. Once you know the tricks of the trade you can't help but see through it. For me it's about accepting whether I found it entertaining or not, and the premise of this show seems pretty fun, so for me it's all about the follow through.
@@charlottegerken4477 yeah absolutely. i was like 10/11 when i found it so ofc finding out it wasn’t real later on wasn’t a shocker and of course they’re all scripted these days but if it’s entertaining it’s entertaining !
@@charlottegerken4477 That's true, but there's a scale. There are plenty of reality shows where the inauthenticity is not in the contestants but in the producers interfering and setting things up for specific outcomes. Honestly I don't mind those so much. Ratings are ratings. But then there are extra egregious shows like this one where the participants themselves are doing a lot of the faking, and that's less fun for me personally. Might as well fully script the show at that point.
Sup Gunnar I usually never comment on any video I watch but this show and your take on it was hilarious. Hope too see more soon and keep up the good work.
My favorite romance trope is this. Like my boyfriend is a massive nerd and it’s one of my favorite things about him, he’s even got the nerdy accent. I adore him so much
Holy crap, is that Lily Hanson (Went by Joe Hanson when this was filmed)? I loved Joe Goes while it lasted. Probably my favorite street interview channel of all time. Absolute UA-cam legend.
it’s funny learning this show exists because when I was 10 I wrote a mystery story and the main character’s sister was watching a show called “Nerd Bachelor”
the most incredible thing about this season is Joe, who eventually became a reasonably famous youtuber and now made his transition and became Lily the writer.
That isn’t incredible at all. It isn’t even slightly interesting. Mental illness doesn’t even have a novel quality anymore. He’s just one of a horde of confused people that seems to grow larger every day, thanks to social media.
Props to you Gunnar for braving whole sorority chapters to sell apartments. Being in the audience, I felt bad even watching any time we had guest speakers lol.
The whole bloody nose thing just made me keep thinking about only murders in the building cus one of those characters also got nosebleeds when nervous. And yes it is a real thing.
Lmao--ngl, this premise is actually genuinely concerning to me as an adult. The way that dude is being possessive of his teammate for kissing someone else, as if theyre a couple or something. Just, i feel like it's*not* a healthy thing to do with the type of person who has as little experience with relationships as these guys claim to have. "This is not a dating show, its a social experiment" well damn, maybe you should have told your "geeks" that instead of using their awkwardness in the situation to keep yer ratings up
nerds arent an issue, id listen to someone infodump about electrical engineering or whatever all day, but anyone whose main personality trait is SMART tends to be super condescending
Yeah, I have no issue with people who are smart, but people who feel the need to prove to everyone that they’re smarter are incredibly annoying

@@creaturehands No opinion about it whatsoever. There are exactly 2 genders/sexes... Male, and female. Period. The word "immutable" indicates that, but if you weren't stuck in fantasy land, you'd understand how reality works.
Luckily, the world is beginning to somewhat realize just how insane all of it is and push back. There may be hope for humanity yet.
The way Richard strutted over and goofy danced in front of the girls was amazing.
Best reality TV there is. Hands down. They started series in the UK and Australia, and Australia is still going strong. Love this stuff.
I got ice cream for free from a Baskin Robins once because the cashier said I had really pretty eyes. I choked layup of course and just said "thanks" and left.
I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve watched nearly every vid 😂 so excited to be here for a new series!
Please, yes, do more episodes. I appreciate your honesty and vulnerability of thinking your dumb, but you're not, we all just know different subjects. And I'm also living over your reactions dude 😂
I remember watching this a couple years ago, glad to rewatch it this way!!
YES! Series please! I watched all of Tool Academy from you and it was awesome. Thank you for blessing us with this.
Yay! So excited for this new series!
The way my family was so obsessed with this show is an understatement 😂
Sad to see Gunnar & almost no one knew Joe Goes. Joe was hilarious
🚨🚨NEW SERIES ALERT🚨🚨
🚨🚨NEW SERIES ALERT🚨🚨
I definitely want to ride the Beauty and the Geek train with Gunnar!!!
This show is actually a guilty please, hope you do all its seasons haha
after watching: YES PLZ DO WHOLE SERIES living these early 2000s reacts man. i was 20 in 2005 and i clearly was too busy partying and was sleeping on this show for real lol
ahh.. a fellow brother with an iron deficiency.... my man... my heart goes out to my fellow Guy that has nosebleeds every two seconds 👊
Are we watching this whole thing? I'm excited. I loved this back in 2005 and still think about the GEEK that had his own band and wonder where they are to this day.
UGH Gunnar you always find banger reality to react to WE LOVE IT
You’re bad asf
Can this please be a series. I loved this and totally forgot about it when I was a kid.
Yessss!!! I have been waiting for you to discover this
Edit: The best season in my opinion is Season 3 of the Australian version
27:57 NOOOO!! 😮 Gunnnarrr!
It's the opposite and I'm not even an American, never been there! 😂
Yes, another classic of my childhood
The xQc meme when Gunner so confidently said "Usher, baby!" cracked me up
I watched all these shows when they aired. There's one with beauty pageant contestants & their mothers. They're off the chain. 🤣
I’ve never watched your channel before but I loved this video! Would love to come back for it as a series
Omg I use to love this show and Australia did like 8 seasons of it. One year they even mixed things up with a female "geek"
Mindi is so sweet and this show was honestly one of the more wholesome ones back in the day. Geek/bimbo combos can be such power-teams.
Aww I like Richard. He's the type of dude that's harmless, warm and underrated.
Now how do you feel about him lol
21:12 "yoohoo big summer blowout" 😂
It was in this hour I realized I am more geek than beauty and Gunnar is way more beauty than geek 😅
Yay I'm so excited you're watching this one! Love it! Next on deck for you; Flava of Love and Rock of Love 😂❤
HERE FOR IT!
Oh yeah bloody nose means your “powers” are definitely kicking in😂
I discovered Gunnar's channel last week and immediately thought , "I wish he did Beauty and the Geek!" And look, my prayers have been answered! Please do Average Joe next.
Bloody Nose in Anime is when the protagonist or character sees something overwhelmingly exciting usually a girl, an awkward nude encounter, or embarassing moment.
Gunner, you are a stone cold fox.
Im not gay,but i have eyes.
YES NEW SERIES ALERT! I subbed to you yesterday and am cackling at your commentary, holy shit.
You may have ur eyes on him but he has his eyes on those Boy Scouts 😂
interviewer “what do you do”
joe “i can tell you what i don’t do”
As a trans person, I think its fine for gunnar to use he/him for her since to make sure it doesnt get confusing. Especially since at the time she was he/him.
Edit: What the fuck is going on in here, holy shit.
Trans girl here. It definitely depends on the person and what they say is okay. In normal situations, it’s best to always use present pronouns and name to refer to someone in the past. Here, it’s complicated because her perceived gender at the time is relevant to the tv show, and everyone in it is to some extent playing a character that’s questionably real. Personally, I think it would be better to use the new pronouns and new name unless she has specified otherwise at some point.
That said, it’s a situation that’s complicated so I don’t at all blame anyone that chooses to go with the easier option. It’s not as if Gunnar is acting with bad intent (and has acknowledged the weirdness of the situation), which is what matters the most.
@@gem3763 you do make a good point. The fact that finding her socials (assuming she has some) would be hard on their own let alone if she even made a post on it also complicates things even more. I didn't think about the fact that it most definitely is person to person either tbh.
Finally, someone who isn’t over the top about mispronouns!!!! It’s getting to the point where I don’t even wanna talk to people anymore consider how offending they get off of an honest mistake. It’s exhausting 😫
@@lordhoweproductions3733 Have you ever even encountered someone in real life who's acted that way? I've met so many trans people and I have never *once* met anyone that's reacted that way to an honest mistake
@@gem3763 I did, Allie, used to work with her. She was cool, but she would have a meltdown every time someone would say something like “hey guys” or “man, that’s crazy”. She filed like 3 or 4 complaints towards fellow employees and she would cry about it. Idk, maybe hormones? But, it was like walking on eggshells around her. Got to the point people just stopped talking to her and around her. She doesn’t work with us anymore 🙏, but I do hope she finds her peace and accepts that the world isn’t out to get her lol.
my nose started bleeding watching this, i think the spirit of this show gave me a bloody nose
the chokehold this show had on me in like 2014/15 omg. nothing beats this season though 😭 the heartbreak i felt when i figured out it wasn’t fully real
Welcome to "Reality" TV, where the editors and producers decide what is real. Once you know the tricks of the trade you can't help but see through it.
For me it's about accepting whether I found it entertaining or not, and the premise of this show seems pretty fun, so for me it's all about the follow through.
@@charlottegerken4477 yeah absolutely. i was like 10/11 when i found it so ofc finding out it wasn’t real later on wasn’t a shocker and of course they’re all scripted these days but if it’s entertaining it’s entertaining !
@@charlottegerken4477 That's true, but there's a scale. There are plenty of reality shows where the inauthenticity is not in the contestants but in the producers interfering and setting things up for specific outcomes. Honestly I don't mind those so much. Ratings are ratings. But then there are extra egregious shows like this one where the participants themselves are doing a lot of the faking, and that's less fun for me personally. Might as well fully script the show at that point.
Sup Gunnar I usually never comment on any video I watch but this show and your take on it was hilarious. Hope too see more soon and keep up the good work.
Great video and I somehow ended it with a crush on Gunnar lol
Genuinely incredible video, loved every second of this HEAT
Gunnar.. Let's just say I wouldn't let you join my trivia team
My favorite romance trope is this. Like my boyfriend is a massive nerd and it’s one of my favorite things about him, he’s even got the nerdy accent. I adore him so much
Holy crap, is that Lily Hanson (Went by Joe Hanson when this was filmed)? I loved Joe Goes while it lasted. Probably my favorite street interview channel of all time. Absolute UA-cam legend.
"But Carolinas are still North and Dakotas are still South..." right idea, wrong order 😂
1:35 “the Secretary of State during obama’s presidency was Hillary Clinton. And the one for trump’s was … ok no but the one now is……oh my god”
it’s funny learning this show exists because when I was 10 I wrote a mystery story and the main character’s sister was watching a show called “Nerd Bachelor”
the most incredible thing about this season is Joe, who eventually became a reasonably famous youtuber and now made his transition and became Lily the writer.
No way!? Do u have links to find these?
That isn’t incredible at all. It isn’t even slightly interesting. Mental illness doesn’t even have a novel quality anymore. He’s just one of a horde of confused people that seems to grow larger every day, thanks to social media.
"Aww fuck dude, this guy's coming out" had me dying for some reason
Last time I came this early she left me
😭
Props to you Gunnar for braving whole sorority chapters to sell apartments. Being in the audience, I felt bad even watching any time we had guest speakers lol.
Joe is a legend. His Joe Goes YT series was a constant in my rotation until he quit producing content.
Lily still produces content tho
The whole bloody nose thing just made me keep thinking about only murders in the building cus one of those characters also got nosebleeds when nervous. And yes it is a real thing.
Lmao--ngl, this premise is actually genuinely concerning to me as an adult. The way that dude is being possessive of his teammate for kissing someone else, as if theyre a couple or something. Just, i feel like it's*not* a healthy thing to do with the type of person who has as little experience with relationships as these guys claim to have. "This is not a dating show, its a social experiment" well damn, maybe you should have told your "geeks" that instead of using their awkwardness in the situation to keep yer ratings up
I also feel like a lot of gross behavior is being ignored cuz “geek”.
