Although hey, there's some truth to stereotypes. It's why stereotypes come to be.
Anna is a beautiful young woman who is charged in this NBC series with choosing a fellow who is not, according to the stereotype, the most desirable of choices.
It amuses me how they must recruit folks for these reality series. For the fellows competing for the affections of lovely Anna not only could be called Geeks or Nerds, even their names fit the stereotype.
We have a fellow named Dante and another, I'm not making this up, named Igor.
Beyond the odd names there's a bevy of "average joes" in the contest, featured on NBC on Tuesdays at 8 pm, to woo Anna.
Who is Anna?
According to the show's NBC web site:
Age: 26
Hometown: Las Vegas, NV
Occupation: Model
Anna, an only child, was born in a small village in Poland called Radlow. She moved at age five with her parents to Las Vegas, where she was raised, and later graduated from the University of Las Vegas with a degree in business administration.
Now a model and entrepreneur based in Los Angeles, Anna has appeared in MTV rock videos and numerous commercials and print ads. She appeared in music videos for Sting's hit single "Desert Rose" and 98 Degrees' "The Hardest Thing." She has also been on E! Entertainment's "Sexy Swimsuits" special, "Wild on E!" and in MTV's "Extreme Sports." Anna has also appeared in national commercials for Honda Motorcylces, Treasure Island Hotel and Casino and Flamingo Hilton Hotel and Casino, as well as in commercials for 24-Hour Fitness.
In the episode this past Tuesday, 7/5/05, it was obvious that all the contenders adored Anna. What's not clear to this viewer is just what these fellows actually win should a winner emerge. Do they win a date with Anna? Do they win Anna's lifetime of affection? Will they walk down the aisle with Anna?

Indeed, this Anna is no Average Jane. None of the previous girls have been Average Janes. And neither of them -- there were two, I believe -- chose an Average Joe. Gee, I wonder how this one will end?

She rejected a carpenter named Joshua? Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?

A long-haired carpenter named Joshua, in fact. Thoroughly apocalyptic.

I think the whole thing is funny and sad. We see beautiful girls with not so handsome rock stars. Also beauty still is in the eyes of the beholder. I myself dont consider Anna the expert on beauty. I also thought the guys with muscles were not all that cute. I myself would have chosen Josh all the way. I thought he was cute and quite a gentleman. He seem more like the family man. He would have treated anna well and their children if they would have any. I would never have given up josh for Rocky. Beauty isnt muscle, Beauty is the soul. Josh had soul........
