So this show is returning this Thursday at 8:30pm! I'm so excited! :D Does anyone else here really love this show?
One of the contestants this year is a medicine student from New South Wales, called Yiran. He achieved a perfect ATAR of 99.95 last year. There might be some members on this forum who might be able to relate with him as the show progresses. Should be interesting to see how he goes. :P

lol...each to their own. Personally, I find it superficial, dramatic, unrealistic and a waste of time - but that's just me ;D Thumbs up to people who like this show though - go crazy :)

Goddamn stupidest show I have ever seen in my life.

no thats the shire !

As if you don't laugh at the stupid things the beauties say. xP

Strangely, given my amazing taste in TV shows [;)], I find Beauty and The Geek pretty funny!
-
Its good, but tbh everything looks acted out ....

1) The Geeks aren't that 'Geeky'. They're just your average smart/dedicated guy. Like one of them is "studying a double degree"... how does that make him 'geeky' 0-o?
2) The girls aren't that hot lol. If you guys are into fake tits and cake faces, then all I can say is thank you. You save me from being hit on from said troglodytes.

If I could, I would upvote this 100 times.

the geeks shouldnt be just smart people, they should be like fat comic book mums basement people, and the beautys should be legit beautys not cakefaces
shit show imo, but the stupid stuff the beautys say makes me laugh so hard oh god HAHAHS
-
I enjoy watching it in the same way I might enjoy watching Jersey Shore or Big Brother - whenever I'm feeling exceptionally bored, and I want to watch idiotic people doing idiotic things, it's there to be consumed.
It's just annoying to see stereotypes that "smart people = socially retarded" and "hot people = dumb" being perpetuated... As hutchoo said, it's just fake girls who need an education and incredibly lame guys who were probably not allowed to go out of the house past 5pm even when they turned 18.

"My mum always said 'don't judge a cover by it's book', but that's okay, coz I don't read much anyway."

lol is it a reality show or is it acted out?

I love that one. How about Troy's explanation of the invention of time? :P
"In Jerusalem when they didn't have time, they used to trade goats during the day but then run out of daylight and couldn't see at night. So they had to work out a method of how long they have to move their sheep into the paddocks, so they came up with a thing called the Rolex and they decided to call it time."

Haha I wish there were hotties that were the geeks (particularly females). Be awesome.

Quote, one of the beauties.
"My friends say I speak jiberish, but that doesn't make sense because I've never even been to that country!"
Surely, that is scripted.
-
I honestly do not comprehend how people can actually get that stupid. I mean, we do have an adequate education system in Australia in which you're meant to attend school until the end of Year 10... even if you're not the brightest spark, surely you'd have some level of knowledge. :S
-
Surely no one actually believes most of the ridiculously dumb things the beauties say are legit? It's so clear that it's scripted.. The poor acting skills of the beauties say it all.
Also the geeks are totally moulded too, you can tell they've been told what to wear and to grow beards, etc to look more nerdy.. Most of the things they say aren't even that smart and just make them look like they're trying too hard to look smart or act dorky..
But anyway, I think it's a pretty entertaining show even though it's incredibly set up.. Sometimes they just go way too far with what the contestants get told to say..
Like 99% of shows like these are simply the product of producers..
-
What they do, is that they compile the Overheard section in the mx and gives them to the beauties as scripts
the geeks shouldnt be just smart people, they should be like fat comic book mums basement people, and the beautys should be legit beautys not cakefaces
^^
If there ain't neckbeards reeking of nachos and referencing obscure DnD fiction, not a real geek

Very true. One of the geeks from last season was actually a past student of my school, and from what I'd heard from the older guys, he wasn't at all intellectually talented. Played it up well though, just used it to meet some good looking girls and have a good few weeks.
-
My friends tell me I should go on the show. I don't know whether it's a compliment or an offense. I guess one could have a very good time in there though. :P
-
I know of one of the beauties and can assure you what you see is exactly like what she's like in real life, although she stands out as one of the smarter ones haha.
All the same I definitely don't disagree with everything on here about them being molded into the typical beauty or geek, and I'm sure they're told to act in certain ways. All they have to do is catch a one of the beauties slip up and say a silly comment on camera once and they'll edit it in a way that makes them look as dumb as possible.

I don't usually watch this show, but this appeared on Reddit

Gilbert from beauty and the geek actually goes to monash, i've seen him around uni a few times. Someone posted in the comments section of some website they made him grow that horrible beard and gave him a wardrobe to wear. I didn't (and don't) watch the show but apparently his geek cred was having a double degree. Might be geeky to the public but for most of us, thats just kind of normal.
I don't think that there is anything necessarily wrong with the show.
It's reality in the same sense a Brittney concert or a magic show is reality. They're not actors, in that sense its real. Doesn't mean it isn't creatively edited to portray a certain story or they put activities that are likely to cause these things. Normal isn't interesting, sometimes we just want something outlandish and over the top like this because its so unlike real life. It's nothing worse than a magic show or a Brittney concert (musical talent aside).
I think they've tried having one or two female geeks and one or two male hotties before but i could be wrong. I just don't think it sells as well as a geeky, supposedly basement dwelling dude though.

*Insert awesome Monash v UoM joke, because UoM doesn't offer double degrees.*
-
Yeah I know one of the guys he was in the year above me in high school. From what I've been told they told him to grow a beard and such, also I don't think he needs to wear those goggle things all the time lol He never wore glasses or anything in high school... unless it's for the geek look, but im not entirely sure. It's a crap show lol all scripted imo.
-
I hate it. As a karate expert, I can tell you that the show is too damn fake.

I just found out I have one of Chontelle's best friends on Facebook. Kept wondering who the fuck this Chonny person was on her statuses. I was like how does she know machonny
