Beauty and the Geek is warming hearts and taking viewers on an uplifting journey as Nine’s beauties and geeks inspire each other to step out of their comfort zone and find inner confidence. They’ll be doing this all while creating new connections, both romantic and friendly, and it will be hitting screens on Channel Nine and 9Now from Sunday, July 17, at 7.00pm.
Hosted once again by media personality Sophie Monk, 10 new beauties and 10 new geeks will find connections as two very different worlds collide. Paired together by Sophie, they will overcome hurdles, find deep connections and discover if opposites really do attract, whether by forming a romantic connection or a lifelong friendship.
Beauty and the Geek is set around a series of challenges where the winning couples score a one- on-one date that helps them to learn more about their partners and develop bonds. But the bottom two couples must duel it out in an elimination quiz and challenge that could get them sent home. In the end, the final couple, voted the winners by the other beauties and geeks, will walk away with $100,000 in prize money.
In last season’s Beauty and the Geek, 588,000 tuned in for the Grand Finale as Lachlan and Kiera won the $100,000, with 665,000 viewers watching the final winners announcement.
Lachlan and Kiera were paired together by host Sophie Monk in episode three, after being coupled with other Geeks and Beauties.
The pair received the most votes from the eliminated contestants, ahead of George and Josie and Alexander and Eliza, following a Magic Mike dance challenge and a heartfelt pitch about their growth on the show.
This season, the fan-favourite geek makeovers are returning, with transformations not only to physical appearance but the geeks’ inner confidence as well. Also, a new life-swap challenge will see the couples swapping lives for a day. What will happen when a beauty has to move into her geek’s share house with his housemates? Or a geek has to impress a beauty’s parents in a new social setting?
