I don't know what you are doing tonight at 10:00pm (9:00 central) but I am for sure watching episode 2 of Average Joe on Global.
For those of you who have been living in a cave "Average Joe" is a hot new reality show that features a regular reality-television-hot girl and a houseload full of "average" very-non-reality television dudes from which she is forced to choose from in a "bachelerette style" progressive elimination format.
As many people have pointed out the "average joes", while being mostly ok guys, are actually "below average" in objective dateability, and in some cases "well below average".
The girl was sabotaged with these dudes in the entertaining first episode but has gamely agreed to press on with the show because "personality is more important anyway" and also she desperately wants to be a celebrity even if it means she has to sleep with Dennis the king of the nerds.

To mix things up the producers also let a couple of actually average looking and very dislikable guys into the mix who were obviously chosen for their aggressive nerd hatred. Last week one of these guys cracked an egg on the short nerd's head for no reason at all prompting the following exchange back at the nerd fortress (in the living room as far away from the pool and beer as possible)

as I remember it...

Nerd 1: Well clearly the Gauntlet has been thrown and we now have to construct a devious revenge plot!!!!
Dennis (the King of the Nerds): Obviously there is something missing in his life that he has to lash out at you like that.
Other Nerds: Yeah and also he is clearly jealous somehow. we will help you on your revenge mission.
Short Nerd: OH I am going to get my revenge but right now I have got to get my shirt in cold water asap or else it is history.
Dennis (the King of the Nerds): Let me help.

Also I predict great things from the little Indian dude who at 21 is a university professer somehow and also stated that one day he will return to his country to be prime minister (apprearing on average joe is a great first step)
Erica only mildly annoyed me when she suggested that this would be the dude she would most likely date (narrowly beating out the dude she says reminds her of Swartz - also disturbing).



Regardless please check out Average Joe tonight so that we will have something to talk about other than my new job at kentucky fried chicken.
