Good Is Not Dumb: Difference between revisions

* [[Stargate Atlantis|Rodney McKay]] was quite surprised to find that Col. Sheppard has a Mensa-worthy IQ.

* In the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "Trash," Saffron assumes Mal is an idiot because he's being kind and compassionate to her. Then she walks headlong into his [[Batman Gambit]] when it turns out he expected her [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|sudden but inevitable betrayal]], and Inara beat Saffron to the drop point.

* Occurs several times in ''[[Survivor]]'' -- Natalie in ''Samoa'' successfully played Russell's scheming to her own benefit. Also "Fabio" in ''Nicaragua'', who had a "lovable goof" personality but was reasonably game-savvy and combined the two to get the win.

* On Season 2 of ''[[The Amazing Race]]'', Tara & Wil and Chris & Alex constantly ragged on Blake for being an idiot, despite this, he made several brilliant strategic moves, including being the first team to beg for money, getting his bags on a flight when all the other teams had to check theirs, and getting preferred parking on a ferry, most of which were decried by the above teams as "cheating".
