ABC wants "an accomplished CEO, doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur or businessman or woman" who wants true love for its next Bachelor and Bachelorette series. Stanford's alumni network is recruiting with a mass e-mail, so at least Google boys Larry and Sergey got the message, but the rest of the Valley's geeks and wonks shouldn't feel intimidated by that kind of competition.

Contact info is below, and ABC's offering a $5k finder's fee. So nominate a nerd — or, better yet, a tech executive or startupper who only pretends to be a nerd while in the Valley — for yet another embarrassing TV season. The geek factor will make this the most TiVo'd reality show since Yahoo's "Dude, we punk'd you to the Chinese government!"
