(partly answer to a Louise question) Penny is the Queen of the nerds! She knew within seconds that she had power over L, H and Raj, they would do whatever she requested. Her only obstacles to total domination was Sheldon,(and the actress who moved in upstairs). From the surprise birthday party for L onwards, she was in a battle of wills with Sheldon. She seeks out his weak points; comic book collection,etc. But ultimately it is only when L gives her Mary's number, that she wins the war. She has the looks and kindness, the threat of attack, and a sharp mind(however much they try to dumb her down!). The guys didn't stand a chance!
