"Geeks are the new rock stars."
For whatever reason, reality TV is a hugely popular genre. Between modeling contests, cook-offs, beauty pageants, singing and dancing competitions, races, competing for husbands and wives, chasing bad guys, and tattoos, TV networks have nearly all their bases covered. However, there's always room for one more, and Bravo's latest project sees the network's camera's trained on Silicon Valley.
Dubbed Start Ups: Silicon Valley, the show follows three guys and three girls as they try to forge a place for themselves in Silicon Valley. The cast are all in their 20s or 30s and, according to Bravo, they each have 'a unique perspective on the future of technology, business, and how to get ahead in the most competitive culture in the country.' The first season of the show will start airing November 5.
Check out the trailer over on Bravo's website and let us know what you think.

1 Ðchewy1963 , October 10, 2012 10:29 AMGeeks are the new rockstars.... So where are the Geeks in this show? I see glamorous 'Beautiful People' trying to get into the tech field, not Geeks at all.

0 Ðfalchard , October 10, 2012 11:51 AMI think the big mistake made is that the Silicon Valley is still relevant. Alot of tech research has been consolidated around Microsoft, IBM, Qualcomm, Sony, Taiwan, Samsung, and Hong Kong. Silicon Valley to me seems more like riding on the coattails of old glory in directions that might not pan out. I'm probably still going to watch and enjoy it.
