Should FOX Reboot Beauty and the Geek? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Now I usual don't do reality shows at all nor care for them, but since Farmer Wants a Wife was originally on The CW and now has been rebooted and aired for three seasons on FOX with the first two hosted by Jennifer Nettles while in season 3 Kimberly Williams-Paisley takes over I was wondering about another former The CW (originally The WB) reality series Beauty and the Geek needing a remake on FOX. In case you are living under a rock, Beauty and the Geek was a reality television series created by Ashton Kutcher (That 70s Show, Punk'd) where it follows a group of "Beauties" (mainly young women who rely on their attractiveness while typically lacking intellect) and the "Geeks" (mainly young men who rely on their intellect while typically lacking social ability) who must team up to compete in challenges while avoiding elimination. The show was originally hosted by former MTV VJ Brian McFayden from 2005 until 2006, who was later replaced by the now disgraced public figure Mike Richards from 2006 until 2008. But, what do you guys think, should FOX give it a go for a Beauty and the Geek reboot? Is it a good idea or a terrible idea?

I figured it was going to be a no from you guys anyway, but I heard that in the original series in season 4 that their was a male "beauty" and one female "geek" considering this as a "reverse gender" twist. but then again, I doubt any of you guys remember that tidbit anyway.

Also, since we got the #metoo movement and ladies in the "modern day", they probably think it would be too misogynistic and sexist to have a hot female on television anyway due to it being deameaning to the female demographic.
