Pick The Girl Or The Gadget

You are guys are fooling yourselves.

Any geek willing to go on a show to get free gear is going to go into it with the exact same attitude as everyone that's picking "gadget" has.

Although, when that geek is confronted with three knockout potential playmates and all three are in a competition for not only the guy but a prize, that geek is going to wet himself trying to pick one of those girls.

You know this. Its not even a debate. As soon as one of the girls places her hand somewhere provocative, or flashes him the "eff me" eyes, or heaven forbid the deal closer, shows him some mam, IT...IS...OVER.

Its easy for everyone to sit here and say they would pick the gadget on an ENTHUSIAST forum but when a date starved geek with questionable social skills is confronted with three bunnies with bursting cleavage the producers will be stock piling a warehouse of gadgets.

Bet on it.
Believe it.

In addition, I have to say, there are some bitter ass dudes in here.
Get some therapy, cry, and find some closure but lay off the "all chicks are whores" theme. It's tired.

i don' tknow man, i take care of myself, can honestly say i'm at least relatively attractive and can fake being social enough to hit something if i was hard up (in a relationship now tho).

i would go completely with the intention of getting gear, because unless that knock out chick can talk system hardware and configuration, can beat me at street fighter, or can wax philosophical about the sociopolitical undertones of an underappreciated rpg... hotness only goes so far, even the "smart" ones that are like pharmacists or whatnot that still act like barbie when not on the job aren't worth the time. If i wanted to see that I'll watch some porn, at least that way i can shut her off when i'm done.

Then again because i prefer the geeks/goths/gamers etc etc etc I don't even have to think about this cause they wouldn't put someone like me on that show. I don't make for good television...well i think I would in this case, but not for the reasons they want.

But what if the gadget is a girl?

I'd be just as happy. Cause @ least i know i had enough sense to pick the gadget over 1 "date" with some clueless goof ball.(even though it's a hot clueless goof ball):D
 
Gadget everytime; no question. I bet the candidate selection will be the stereotypical fugly nerds who are so strung up on hormones because of virginity or severe lack of sexual experience.

Any guy with common sense would take a 60" TV over a fake date with a hot chick.
 
Discussion probably long-dead now, but given the various comments about the majority (if not all) of the posters being male, I decided to e-mail my female friends the link and this discussion to get their reaction, the below is one of the longer replies replies:

lol ... oh my goodness. This has to be one of the dumbest reality tv shows I've ever heard of! What guy in their right mind would choose the date over the gadget! Seriously, think about it. You meet three girls and must choose 2, you narrow it down to 1, go on a date and then you have the option between 1 awkward (exciting?) weekend getaway, where afterward you will never see the person again over a gadget that could possibly last you a few years! Please ... that's as dumb as the bachelor or bachelorette finding true lasting love ... !

I'm a girl and I would definitely choose a gadget over a two night stand.

Granted, this particular friend actually knows what HDTV stands for; however, I just thought I'd insert at least one feminine opinion into the testosterone mix. :p

I'd take the gadget in a heartbeat. The plasma loves me and wants to be in my living room........the girl just wants to be on TV and I'm her tool to do that. Plasma > media hungry whore
 
I'd never make it on the show, being married and all. Even in my single days (back in the dark ages) I would have gone for the gadget. At least I'd like to believe so!
 
Yeah this is a pretty dumb idea for a show... gadget ftw. Random one night date with some chick is ftl.

Is your wife reading over your shoulders when you typed that? :D

Unless I was forced to make the decision while several extremely hot women were giving me lap dances (or an equivalent or better experience), I would probably choose the gadget.

However, the guy on the show knows that thousands if not millions of people are watching him, so that will undoubtedly affect his decision - possibly more so than the desirability of the women. So it's not so much woman versus gadget; more like woman versus being labeled a loser.
