Pick The Girl Or The Gadget

Playing devil's advocate...

...let's assume, for a moment, that the producers of this show aren't idiots and putting a $4000+ 'gadget' up against a moderately hot chick + maybe ~$1000 weekend outing.

Let's presume the values of the two items are equal. And remember, you get the 'date' either way. Guy gets 3 ladies to chose from, and goes out with 2 on a date. After date, gets to decide if he wants some undefined and unvalued 'gadget' or a weekend with one of the women of his choice.

To match that (in value), the 'weekend getaway' would likely be one of those 'adventure' things. Weekend hiking or kayaking, several nice meals, decent hotel accommodations...with someone attractive of the opposite sex that you did pick out of 3 choices...and you don't have to pay for any of it? Maybe a few nights on the town in a popular metro area? etc?

Assuming no physical interaction (and for a whole weekend, that IS an assumption unless you are a toolbox), the producers would likely value the 'weekend package' against whatever the gadget was, chick excepted. You just get her company as an extra. (And maybe more - again, presuming some halfway competent social skills)

I dunno. It's a compelling question. A 60" plasma TV vs a DATE with a chick? Hell no, unless (!maybe!) it's Rachel Weisz or something. But a whole weekend paid-for? That's a tougher argument.

I agree

 
Well I would be more inclined to show off the tv, but then again this is Playboy so...choices choices. :confused:
 
Women are more trouble than they are worth, and it is a lot less stressful playing with a new toy than having to entertain someone.

+1 Gadget.
 
I'm pleased by the outstanding level of common sense displayed in this thread.
 
So you win Last Comic Standing and you get to host this show, sucks for her.

This is awesome. I'd totally do it and probably end up with the gadget, mostly because most hot girls are dumb as bricks.

exactly. get yourself the hot gadget and date a geek chick who will be as crazy about it as you. extra points if you find one of the hot girl geeks...and yes they exist
 
I dunno, I have all the gadgets already, I have a nice HDTV, an iPhone, a decent computer, a 360... What more could they possibly offer? They can only give me a BIGGER TV or a BETTER computer, which I have no need for.

But a date with 2 possibly hot girls? Sign me up.

Unfortunately, this show either will never take off or won't be available to Canadians. Also who determines whether one is "nerd" enough to be eligible.

This reminds me of that other dumb show, Beauty and the Geek.

Not only that, but you have to find a hot girl geek who doesn't have intolerable emotional problems that make a relationship impossible :( I got burned on that one.
 
Sadly, this show is designed for drama. You have to pick 2 of 3, so there will probably be tears from one you "declined". Also, all the girls would probably be paid models so you wont get with them anywhere anyhow.

Besides, a date with 2 girls is about as useful as a threesome. In the end, its just 2 headaches and an erection.

I dunno man. That weekend adventure wouldnt be as fun if it was with someone who I didnt really connect with at all.

*shrugs*

Then take the weekend getaway and have her go off and do her own thing while you surf/scuba dive/ski/whatever - if you REALLY don't connect. And I doubt they are sending anyone off to an isolated, 'Shining'-like lodge. Odds are good it'd be a fairly popular vacation spot with a lot of other people present you can hang out with and have fun with. And in any case, you ARE picking her out of a set of 3 to start from. I guess I consider the odds of having no connection at all to any of 3 ladies to be fairly low.

So what if it's a tenuous one? Not like you are marrying her - just enjoying a weekend getaway/vacation at someone else's expense. As long as the food and alcohol are covered, I think I over a weekend, I could out-spend that 60" plasma TV, anyway :p - and I'm guessing few of the female contestants that make it far enough to even be a candidate to 'tempting you away from a gadget' are going to be so much of a pill that they couldn't enjoy a weekend at someone else's expense, either.
 
Oh man, someone should go on that show just for the kicks and go on a date and start speaking Clingon. Or something equally as nerdy.

Also, I like how women on the show get 0 choice. Very clever. Who can say NO to a date with a fellow attention whore and a chronic masturbator. ;)
 
Hmmmm, would the iPhone be unlocked? Then again, would the girl be "unlocked?" :p

I would guess wanna be actresses, but maybe also unknown models. And you know they are going to be lying to win.

Used woman vs. new electronics, easy choice.

The down side is you do not know what the gadget is until you pick it, so...I would go with the girl.

I'll take my chances. If my gadget sucks or annoys me I can always sell it off on eBay. If the chick is annoying, a bitch, overly stupid or some other such non-sense then I'm not really getting nothing out of it on the resale market.
 
you would be retarded to pick the girl instead of the gadget, regaurdless of what the gadget may be.

most of the women just want to be on TV... since when has there been an actual relationship that stemmed from a reality TV show?

this show would be much better if rather than a hot chick, it took couples that were together and had them stay together or breakup and get the stuff.. at least it would be slightly more enticing to keep the relationship that way.

then again, i would break up take the gadget and then get back with my girlfriend..
 
I don't see how the weekend is a good option here. I don't do such things with people I don't know. Such experiences are no fun without someone to experience it. The chances of me connecting with someone who would put themselves up on a show like that... next to none.

Even then if it's a gadget that has equal value then just sale it and take someone you know with it.

This isn't hard, any choice but the gadget means you're insane and didn't think it through or you can't get a girl to save your life.
 
This is a no-brainer. What are the chances you are gonna’ hit it off with some stranger that you have absolutely nothing in common with. Chances are, the time spent together will be awkward at best. When the trip is over, it’s over. Even if the weekend getaway was equivalent in value to that of the “gadget”, I would take the “gadget” every time. Hell, if inclined, you could sell the “gadget” and fund a smaller weekend getaway with some friends or family. That would be better than spending it with some attention whoring bitch…

Hard choice. If you pick the gadget, you're seen as a nerd with no life, but if you pick the girl, you're seen as a desperate nerd.

How about I don't play at all?

I'll be the nerd with no life and the 60" plasma ;)

Superbowl party at my house :D

(wait does huge ass TV = life?! :p)

 
I would choose the high-end gadget.. why? uh because theres no guarantee of getting 'any' ... all you'd have is a boring night with a squeeky model chick talking about her ex-boyfriends and how she likes her new lower back tattoo. no thx, gimme my freakin' TV
 
That's disappointing to see people saying that you would be desperate if yo go for the chick...


I automatically assumed that you there will be buttshecks... depends on the person...





... internet - a bit a breeding ground for smartasses! :D

Assume

making and "ass" out of "u" and "me"...
 
I'm not sure I could take a TV over a cute girl.

Then again... I am VERY picky about females...
 
Not gonna click the link... still at link.. but gadget FTW. Stupid show it sounds like.
 
Gadget.

I can trust the gadget. I can trust it to do everything it is capable of doing, and doing it to the best of its ability, thus in turn satisfying my needs. :p

Sorry, but I've been burned one too many times to be completely trusting of the fairer sex. How I have a girlfriend now is anyone's guess, but my girlfriend can tell you it wasn't easy to be with me in the beginning. But even if I didn't have a woman, I'd still take the gadget - I only have to get the gadget once, and its a bond for life. A date is a one time ordeal, with no guarantees of a second one or an eventual lead into a steady, meaningful relationship. A gadget doesn't care what I'm worth. I care about what the gadget is worth if its time to upgrade. :D
 
Gadget FTW.

With the girl, even though its a hot, jaded, dumbass playboy bunny, you still aren't guaranteed anything out of it. 99% likely you won't get a meaningful relationship, and 99% likely not to get laid unless your a Pornstar or the likes of Hugh Hefner that can offer her more work.
Why bother?

Take the gadget, sell it, go to a Nevada brothel like the Bunny Ranch. Problem solved.
 
If you knew it was a t.v. then that would make the choice easier, but these guys won't know what the tech is going to be. Are all the tech goodies worth a certain price? Like someone said earlier, you could always sell it if ya don't like it. You also have to remember, the girl gets a gift only if she snags the guy. So she might act all sweet but once she gets the guy and her prize then it will turn into an awkward weekend.

I'd take the tech.
 
Hookers and blow are much more fun than a date with a hot chick. Pick the gadget, sell the gadget, buy the blow, rent the hooker, no baggage to worry about the next day and no let down from being given a blind date with Paris Hilton. Then again if you got Hilton you would at least probably be able to get the blow for free...
 
I'd probably take the tech and hope for the big HDTV because I know how much they can cost, basically saving myself having to spend thousands on a good TV. HDTV is low on my list of hobbies and shit, that's why I probably won't have a big/good (new) TV in my possession for another month or so.
 
it take the gadget anytime... no ongoing costs... plus a gadget is unlikely to take half your stuff in a divorce settlement
 
Honestly, what an easy choice. If you're a nerd who's into gadgets anyway then what are the odds that the bimbo model they'll set you up with will be your type, or that you'll be hers? You'll go out once and that's it...OR, you could get a fucking expensive TV and keep it forever.

I don't care how hot the girl is, I'd go for the expensive gadget. Also, I like women, honest.
 
Ill use my new gadget to attract a sea of women! Or, at least, one a nice one.
 
What woman would put herself up as a choice between her and a TV as a game show prize? Or worse, an iPhone or something?

Take the gadget.
