Mike Richards Answers Your Beauty and the Geek Questions!
Last week, you guys posted questions for me, Mike Richards, host of Beauty and the Geek. Today, I'm back with answers! Read on...
Q: Why did you cast an actor like Sam Horrigan to play the beauty in this reality series? Doesn't that take away the reality part of the show? -- Paul Klotz
A: This is the most-asked question so far this season, and it is a really good one. Sam has done some acting, but in our show, he is just being Sam. The assumption that actors can’t be regular people is wrong. Sam is not playing a part and wasn’t cast in the role of the Beauty; he is a beauty in every sense of the word.
Q: Would you rather hang out with the beauties or the geeks in this house? What about in previous houses? And do you think of yourself as more beauty-ish or geek-like? -- jerslix
A: This is a really fun and nice group. I always gravitate towards the guys because in high school I was a total geek. I was short, with glasses and braces! Not exactly a winning combination. That all being said, the geeks are quite a bit smarter than I am, so there are a lot of conversations where I have no idea what they are saying.
Last season, I would much have preferred to hang with the guys. The girls were too catty and mean…especially Cece.
Make sure you watch this week's Beauty and the Geek! The Geeks have to write and perform their own rap song, and the girls debate world issues! And post new questions for me in the comments section -- I'll be back next week with more scoop.
