<p>Anyone else see "The Scholar" tonight on ABC?</p>
<p>2 Columbia admissions officers are on it. What do you all think of the show?</p>
<p>My friend Melissa is on the show. Evidentally she won the first major contest tonight (we are on the West Coast, so we haven't seen it yet, but I have scoured the ABC site). Definately happy for her. I know where she has ended up and very happy for her.</p>
<p>I am definately going to watch tonight to see how the show is conducted. I am also very proud that Max is going to Columbia and that they used two of our admissions officers. Go Columbia!</p>
<p>i watched it and i think that the show and the contestants are too dramatic</p>
<p>Yeah, I think its a bit dramatic too. But its kinda funny (even though I HATE WalMart...they dont sell glue, super glue, white-out, or paint to people under 18. W T F?)</p>
<p>Anyway, yeah...but $50,000 is a lot of money. I would love to have that scholarship.</p>
<p>jaug1 - where did she end up going?</p>
<p>Wait, so what happened tonight? I missed it...</p>
<p>im tuned in</p>
<p>Hahaha ivyboy05 SO TRUE about the Wal-Mart selling policy. I walked in once to buy some compressed air to clean out my computer keyboard and when she asked me for ID I just gave her this blank stare and looked down at the can, trying to figure out if I'd accidentally just purchased alcohol or something.</p>
<p>Which two admissions officers?</p>
<p>the men .</p>
<p>No, I mean do you know their names? I haven't seen the TV show and doubt I'll have an opportunity, but I'm curious which admissions officers are represented. Thanks!</p>
<p>The Wal-Mart thing: I think you can get high from them, so you have to be at least 18 to get high. It's a fact.</p>
<p>heh i like beauty and the geek better</p>
<p>The Scholar rocks! Go jeremy(sorry, a little bit of national pride there...)</p>
<p>beauty and the geek is more addictive than heroin</p>
<p>that one little bouncy geek is so funny - i think his name is richard; actually i have no clue. but if you've seen the show, you will know who I'm talking about.</p>
<p>Lol I know you can get high from glue, etc., but you can also cut yourself w/ scissors and I can certainly buy those...</p>
<p>Exactly my point: You can't get high from scissors, but you can get high from glue.</p>
<p>Hence, Wal-Mart does not want any high 18 yr. olds running around their store. They only want them running around with scissors ;)</p>
<p>A friend of mine worked for one of the admissions officers (Shawn Abbott). I almost did, but I found other employment.</p>
<p>that show was a little ridiculous, on the literature quiz, I was ashamed that these people are supposed to be the "best and the brightest of US high school students" and they couldn't answer basic, common knowledge literature questions.</p>
<p>the questions SO middle school.
"the dermis and epidermis belong to which organ"?
My dog knows the answer.
Those 'scholars' aren't intelligent at all; they were only chosen because they're TV-friendly.</p>
<p>eeeexactly, simplefallout!
in my entire life i've NEVER EVER seen a REAL reality show
if they say: brightest of US HS students", they don't know how much is 2x2
in this "beauty and the geek" show, i'm pretty sure this insane :) guy (richard) and the other one, who hates him will end up in the final b/c they fight with each other
b/c this is show business, they show ppl what they want to see
b/c ppl who get kicked out, get more money than the winner
b/c show business ppl can make anything out of nothing</p>
<p>jeee, what am saying? this is supposed to be a college discussion forum lol
it's just that almost everything on TV is a bs</p>
<p>aggr! never mind
just ignore this post! :)</p>
