Education is Key .. Beauty and the Geek!

WOW.... This is for my friend Ayo! :-) I got sucked into watching Beauty and the Geek on the new CW last night. First of all, you all know there will be to token black girl on these reality shows..... at least one! Well, true to form, there she was. A model, very pretty, but dumb as a box of rocks! Wheeeewwwww... She definitely made me realize why I tutor and mentor young ladies in my community. Dayum!


So here were the challenges from last night..

1. Locate 3 books in the library using the Dewey Decimal system.


2. Read the book Freakonomics, a magazine and a newspaper.

Problem #1

Tori could not locate the 3 needed books. She had no idea how to use the Dewey decimal system or what those little numbers meant. WOW.... So she breaks down crying.. WHAT. Chic, get a grip!

Problem #2

The challenge they were preparing for was the role of the News Anchor. They were to read off the TelePrompter and interview a guest. Yeah, you see this one coming... the guest was Stephen J Dubner, one of the authors of Freakonomis. Well, Ms. Tori decided to get some rest and blew off the preparation for the task. She did not read a note, article or the book jacket. Mannnn... I was holding out hope. I figured maybe she had a little sense and knew something. NOTTTTT! When she got to the studio and found out what she was to do, OH yeah!!! She started scanning the book. Chic found one key word somewhere in the middle of the book and stayed on it.. Parenting.. What the hell! This was not a book about raising kids. LOL. Needless to say, they did not win the challenge.

Well, now they are up for elimination and one last time for your girl to shine :-) They have to take part in a quiz. Two questions, easy as hell to a normal person. Not so easy for Tori. Oh yeah, you know I am gonna give you the questions...

1. In what year is the next presidential election to be held?


2. On Wall Street, what does the initials NYSE stand for?

Her answers.......

1. November 2006 -- Well, now we know she does not vote for presidents....


2. Uh.. I don't know. I was thinking National something !?! -- WTF. Seriously people!

Needless to say.........
