    Lightbulb Those "from geek to hot" talk show episodes

    So I was watching maurry today and they had on 1 of those episodes where former geeks that look much better now, confront there opposite sex, long-ago high school bullies with a new, hotter look. I used to luv these episodes, partly becuz it's surprising to see how drasticly people can change, and also becuz I think many of us can relate to it, perhaps to a smaller extent. We've all changed--not jus in terms of looks but mebbe even more significantly in terms of lifestyle, atitude, career/life direction, etc--which makes it somewhat relatible and fun to watch.

    Here's some things I noticed this time around tho:

    1. Pretty much all the people who'd changed there look -- including the 1 guy on it -- dressed provocatively like strippers. Nearly all the girls had stripper "barbie" looks too...tan, long bleach blond hair, implants, tight short dress, etc. One even goes by a diff name now...a stage name? Made me wonder if perhaps most of the people on these episodes are strippers (or work in a similar, related indistry) in real life.

    Esp the guy on today's episode lol... strutted out all buff with no shirt on, even did a male stripper type routine

    In another episode a few yrs back, there was one girl who pretty much said she was a stripper becuz when maurry asked her how can her former tormenter make it up to her, she said he should come down to her work and buy lotsa lapdances from her.

    2. Not sayin there's anything wrong with them bein strippers, BUT ...couldnt talk shows feature people who persued OTHER job types or lifestyles?? What about say, a nerd who was bullied thru school, and is now not only way hotter but has a hot career as an astrophysicist or successful business owner to match? So the show focuses on "change" & success in terms of more then jus looks?? This idea would work especially good if the "former geek" in question was a ditzy or beavis-&-butthead type, made fun of for bein ugly AND braindead...mebbe the person who no one thought would amount to anything but livin under a bridge after high school... then WHAM! the former braindead geek comes back via the show, not only much hotter but with a successful career and lotsa money from it!?

    Or mebbe have the "newfound hotties" come on stage dressed in somethin sexy n flattering, but consists of more then the type of outfit a stripper would wear at the stripclub?

    3. I realize it's more "shocking" & "provockative" (hence higher ratings) to have the guests dress like strippers, but there's other ways to still look sexy and show off a body that's changed for the better without havin to look like a stripper on tv. Impressionible preteens & teens seein this show mite mistakenly think that the best way to prove ur hotter then ur "nerd days" is to dress like a stripper... Not a good influence. (no wonder we have so many little teen girls lookin like hookers at the mall lol) And altho it mite go over well for a short amount of time with say, a 21-yr-old crowd, it does NOT look that impressive to an older crowd, that said...

    4. For the guests, obviously they care bout having there former classmate/bully think better of them (success bein the best revenge )... hence them signing up to be on the show. But since they care so much what there former bully thinks of them, why would they imply there a stripper, with all the stigmas stripping has? Face it, it's reality that stripping still holds stigmas and isn't regarded by many as a "real career"... so for some1 that cares what this bully thinks of them, arnt they aware that while the bully may not be able to ridicule there physical looks anymore, the bully can now go home and mock them for bein a "ho" or "not havin a 'real' career"? Plz don't think I'm sayin strippers r hos...I'm jus expressing an unfortunate reality of what many, esp a bully, would think of it.In fact, even some of the very strippers on this site admit they don't act or dress the part of a stripper at all in there outside-work lives, and that u often gotta do this if u want to get worthwhile inteligent dates. Some even said they get disgusted when other girls try to act like strippers outside the club (eg, Kelly once said a girl was drunkenly doin floor work at the bowling alley). I think girls face this stigma more then guys :/

    5. On a diff note, this show and its obvious stripper guests got me thinking: I wonder how many of them got into stripping and/or related looksbased jobs, BECUZ of there bad experiences bein the "ugly duckling" growing up? Like mebbe they started stripping shortly after changing there look, to fully revel in there newfound body confidence?... And as there way of showig the world they were finaly able to be sexy? Can any of u relate to this, or know some1 who can?

    I do. While cocktailing at 1 stripclub, I worked with a girl who had stripped for some time several yrs earlier, and returned to stripping for a brief period of time rite after she lost a lotta weight. she said that stripping was a parttime side job (she was also a bartender) to boost her esteem bout having a body she could finally be proud of. Wonderin how many strippers start becuz of reasons like this... Which I think is alot happier reasons then the usual "becuz I was totaly broke and needed $" reason most strippers have for starting in the industry

    6. So altho I'm happy for the guests in bein able to change there looks for the better and finally "stick it" to there former bullies, those are my thoughts. That perhaps they think a lil more bout there bully then they should all these yrs later. and also that they tend to be a lil shallow, placing all the emphasis on "how they changed" on looks + sexiness. And in doing so they mite overlook the possibility that there former bully (and on most episodes, these bullies act in ways that prove the "once a bully, always a bully" adadge true) mite still judge them, this time for being too "hoeish" or having an oft-stigmatized job.

    Thoughts on this?

    Well... the reason they don't feature former nerds who went on to have successful careers in standard jobs is because everyone EXPECTS that to have happened... they make them over-sexed because it's "less likely" that the geek you made fun of would turn into someone you'd kill to fuck.

    The whole idea is stupid to me.
    Would rather them feature a former nerd who got hot... but is still a nerd, personally.

    ^ I agree. Nerds who have "nerdy" good jobs can still look hot n sexy. Some people r smart AND good looking.

    I think I was also thinking in terms of "dumb nerds". mebbe this idea of a nerd bein dumb isn't conventional to most people, but it was very common in my high school. The most popular students in my high school were generally physically attractive and also super involved in xtracurricular activities, on honor roll, and excelled at atleast 1 aspect of school/grades... Even if that aspect was an elective like say, art (which can lead to an impressive art school scholarship btw). The "nerds" were generally the kids in special Ed, who always had the special Ed aides following them from class to class. And/or they were the kids who came from poor families that couldn't afford to send them to college (and they weren't smart enough to get a scholarship), so they ended up working as retail clerks or janitors after high school, "taking a yr off" to save money for college b4 bein able to attend college, which almost never happened for them. Mebbe it's jus my part of the country that has this school hierarchy?

    Either way, I think u'll all agree that generally the "dumb nerds" have it worse then the "smart nerds", becuz while the smart nerds can seek comfort in there science scholarships and clicques of other nerds, the "dumb nerds" tend to be more of loners.

    Ah. Most of the schools I went to... "nerds" tended to me smart kids who weren't attractive or outgoing enough to be part of the 'in' crowd.

    I suppose it's different everywhere.


    Another reason for those shows, I think... is because it's like a standard 'porn story' that the shy, easily taken advantage of girl is secretly super fuckable.

    Yeah......nerdy kids in high school that were smart,(just not popular due to socially awkwardness), but went on to be successful, wouldnt give a shit what some old classmate dickhead thought of them.

    The fact that they want to 'show that bully how hot they have become' so many years later is kind of pathetic.

    Well, I was the kid in school that got picked on A LOT, and was super-shy and hardly spoke to any of the "popular" kids.

    I had two good friends, the rest were more of a "Frenemies" category of friend. It was kinda sad, really.

    But even so, now that I'm hot, got a good college degree, and still strip, I would not want to be on a show like that. Comes off as pathetic and trashy to me. I would rather show all my former classmates up at a HS Reunion and rub it in then.

    However, I can understand where the shows people are coming from...I agree with a lot of what was written. I really relate to Thought #5-if I WAS to go on a show like that, it would be for #5. I was a late bloomer, and now I think Im the fucking shit hahaha j/k. But I do know I'm pretty cute.

    Yea I agree that it's pathetic to go on a show like that, and if I were in that spot I wouldn't want to go on a show like that either. I don't have much respect for people that put themselves out there on springer or maurry. Who thinks it's a good idea, other then mebbe if u were serving as an actir ACTING A ROLE? (and we should all know most of those springer episodes r scripted/acted out)

    Yea mebbe dressing & acting like a stripper mite look "cool" when ur like 21, (when some people ur age still live in frat houses), but it loses it's novelty & coolness once ur at the settling-down age (about mid20s and up). Then u start to look like a big joke if u show up somewhere in public wearing a scandalous skintite minidress with stripper heels outside the stripclub.

    I also agree that most "smart nerds" would have too much common sense to go on a show like that...good point.

    I was a hot geek in high school...

    Actually, most of these shows hire people to come on and play the part. One of my friends worked at a local strip club that was contacted by the Jerry Springer show. They were asked to send a certain amount of these girls out to play the "hot new girlfriend" in a couple of segments.
