The host of the WB show, which premiers June 1, reveals to the seven women in the show's opening moments that they are there for their beauty, not their brains. Caitilin Stoller agreed to be in the show, with a hefty dose of hesitation, only knowing that it was a contest, not a dating show.

And so she learned that day she was one of the airhead beauties, not one of the smart geeks -- the promotional material says the show matches "wits with twits."

Though she says now she loved the experience, at first the show seemed to live up to her worst fears about reality television. Stoller, 24, is a Greeley native who graduated from Greeley West in 1998, and she was raised in a strict home. Sure, she knew she was different from her brilliant sister, Brandi, who graduated a week ago from Colorado State University and plans to be a nurse. Her parents, Rose and Jack of Greeley, always said they had their own version of beauty and the geek.

But she never thought she was a twit, either. She works with retail clothing stores and matches them up with wholesale companies, essentially helping the store pick the fashion lines that would be good for its image.

Even so, right away, Stoller and the others competed in a humiliating test of wits, including questions about geography and spelling, and then had to model the clothes her partner designed for her, despite the fact that her bathing suit was too small.

And that's when the show's producers discovered they didn't pick a floozy. Stoller put her foot down and refused to wear the shorts, revealing dresses and bathing suits the wardrobe consultant threw at her throughout the show. She wasn't so into showing off her body, even if the lingerie model didn't mind or the NBA dancer seemed anxious to reveal more of her boobs than Janet Jackson.

That wasn't her. In fact, at times, she longed for her boots and torn jeans and a ballcap and white T-shirt. She longed to be Greeley again. She wanted to get a little dirty instead of be so dang prissy all the time.

Though they are called reality shows, producers work hard to establish characters viewers can either relate to or root against. It's easy to forget that Johnny Fairplay and Rufus from "Survivor" were real people because they were, respectively, a classic villain and hero.

Stoller's Greeley parents weren't thrilled, at first, about the idea either, but they are now excited for the premier, especially once they learned Caity wasn't on a "Bachelor" dating knock-off.

Caity wasn't sure she wanted to be on the show, even at the 11th hour, literally, when the show knocked on her door at 11 p.m. to get her ready for the next day's shoot. She sent in her photo and interviewed for the show but didn't send them a tape that was supposed to show a day in her life because she didn't have time for it (and she thought it was a stupid idea). The show called her back anyway.

Her competitive nature took over when she found out she would be vying for $250,000, not the hand of a hunk. But she admits she is a little worried now because of that nature. Producers could make her out to be the bitchy one.

The aim of the show was to make fun of the beauties for their small brains and the geeks for their small cache of common sense. But Stoller learned she doesn't have to be smart in microbiology like her partner, Chuck. In one episode, she had to take apart a car and put it back together -- and she did it.

She always played the pretty card throughout her life, but maybe now, she won't have to. She has her job, she lives in Pasadena, Calif., and she may get into entertainment, but only if the offer is a great one.
