Nerd thought of the week: Is Bernadette Hotter than Penny?

So on The Big Bang Theory.....Penny is supposed to be the Hottie Neighbor that lives next to this group of super nerds.....But Penny always seemed to lack something for me and me wife agrees.  
She isn't hot enough to play the hot girl.   I'm just not buying it.   The character Bernadette played by  Melissa Rauch who I remember from all those Best Week Ever and I love the  80's episodes is much hotter.  Even all buttoned up in the try to make her look nerdy grandma sweaters.....Step aside Penny Howard's  girlfriend is much hotter than you are.
