USA Beauty and the Geek

I have just started watching the first US series of Beauty and the Geek. I can see that a lot of our challenges were taken from this series, including the massage challenge and the rocket challenge. I have to say that I am both impressed and disappointed in this series.

Good Points
More filming of the cast just hanging around doing their own thing
Hidden cameras for filming those scenes when people think the cameras aren't watching
There are 3 questions each for the elimination instead of 2, and the elimination process does not drag on
Richard is hilarious

The challenges are better i.e. they get to go out and do better things

More prize money ;)

Bad Points
Everything almost seems a little to unpolished from the way the cast are standing, the the way the host behaves. Even the girls aren't dressed up enough.
Richard is annoying
Brad is too good looking

Overall, I think that if you combines the extra behind the scenes footage of the cast getting to know each other etc from the US version with the polished nature of the AUS series is would be perfect!
