Beauty and the Geek Australia

In the year 2021...

..comes a new breed of superhero...

..ready to take over the world.

Very glad I'm in the middle of the boat

because I'm the least likely

to get splashed but for some reason, I still got splashed.

I actually shaved today.

I shaved this and this and when I'm on there,

the waves splashing onto me, it gets onto the skin

and salt water is not good for when you have small cuts

or a very rash-y skin.

It's like nature's aftershave. It stings so much.

This year comes a new kind of adventure

where brains and beauty collide.

I think that beauty and brains are equal...

..because... Yeah.

Because looks fade.

But...

..so does smartness.

I think.

As you get older, you forget things.

This year, Sophie Monk...

So do I wave?

Yes.

..has assembled ten beauties...

What if I break a nail?

I've gone for more of a pop eye look

just because I feel like the eyes are the nipples of the face.

..and ten geeks...

I would say that I party hard but not often.

..to find out if opposites can attract...

Do you reckon any of the geeks are cute?

He's smoking hot.

Have you had a first kiss?

I haven't had my first kiss. At all.

..on the ultimate journey...

I find it very hard meeting girls.

Oh, my God.

I spend a lot of my time on my computer in my room.

..of self-discovery.

I normally date guys who would ruin your life.

Together, they will face extraordinary challenges.

You will be taking centre stage

in 'Magic Mike' Live Australia,

fight two professional wrestlers.

Sounds like star jumps.

that will see them face their fears.

We are going live in three, two, one.

This is like three way massage.

And push them outside their comfort zone.

Pow, pow, pow!

This certainly went from 0 to 200km an hour in one sitting.

One, two...

..watch incredible transformations...

Ah! You're going to go again? No!

..come to life.

Both physical...

Oh, my gosh.

..and emotional...

I never thought this process would teach me something like this.

..as life changing revelations are made.

I now know how I should be respected by girls

and that it's not worth settling for girls

who are not going to treat me the way that I deserve.

This year, surprising connections...

Hands down, the best date I've ever been on.

..will open our beauties' eyes...

There are people out there who like you for you.

..and hearts...

I feel like I've got a lot of really cool stuff going on in my life.

But I don't have anyone to share that with...

I'm sorry.

..as lifelong friendships are formed...

I walk away from this experience

in the best most positive headspace I've ever been in.

..and for some...

I'm definitely open to falling in love with a geek.

..true love blossoms...

I think I do love you.

..before one pair's bond...

I'm proud of you.

You're like the discovery of penicillin.

..will see them win $100,000...

Yes!

I want to get out of this an opportunity

to do things I've never done before

and I'm going to be terrified every step of the way but I'm all for it.

..as we find out what happens when two worlds...

Ready to see what a beauty and a geek can really do?

Yeah.

..collide.

What makes me a beauty?

I think my personality.

It's how you treat people and how you see others.

I think I could definitely teach a geek confidence

because in school, I was bullied quite a bit and I know how it feels.

I genuinely care about people

and I want everyone to feel confident about themselves.

So I'm definitely here to help this introverted,

shy guy come out of his shell.

I'd honestly feel like a bit of a winner if I did that.

Hello, girls.

Hi.

I think a geek teach could teach me how to act smarter

than what I portray myself as.

I feel like I do dumb myself down a bit

because I feel like there's a way that I'm supposed to act.

Are you excited?

I'm excited for you.

I'm definitely open to falling in love with a geek.

I know that they are really kind and generous and thoughtful.

I've been so unlucky with guys in my life

and I'm just over being with hot surface-level people.

I can just imagine me bringing home a geek to my mum and dad.

They would be so happy for me.

Beauties, welcome.

This will be an experience of a lifetime.

I've searched the country for the nation's most unlikely bachelors.

Each of them unique in their own way.

Not all heroes wear capes but some of these guys actually do.

They're smart, a little different and definitely in need of your help.

I believe that opposites can attract

and love can be found in the place where you least expect it.

Look what happened to me.

I'm engaged to a neurological...

Ugh...

It's so hard, his job.

I'm engaged to a neurological...

Oh...

To a neurological consultant with robots.

And I don't even know what that means but I can do the robot.

Thank you.

But look, it does work out.

All I ask is that you keep an open mind and an open heart.

And who knows, you might just get your happily ever after.

Have a look out to sea, ladies. Here come your geeks.

Oh, my God.

Where?

Where?

They are coming.

Where are they?

When I first saw the beauties, I got a bit clammy.

I was terrified but that's the point of the show, right?

To be taken out of my comfort zone.

I'm feeling some butterflies in my stomach.

What am I going to say to my beauty.

I can be a bit self-conscious which means that I overthink things

which then means that I can end up looking uncomfortable and awkward.

It's so James Bond, isn't it?

Oh, my God.

All right, what a smooth entrance.

Girls, are you ready to meet your geek?

Yes!

I think I'll take that as a yes.

Eliza, please step forward.

I'm Eliza.

I'm 21 and people always tell me I have a good bum.

I love to tan at the beach.

I love to fake tan.

I love to use gradual tan.

I just love being tanned.

Oh, my God.

How are you feeling, Eliza?

Good. I'm feeling really good.

Pumped? Yeah, I'm pumped.

You are? You're not nervous?

I'm excited. Nah.

No? No.

Eliza, it's time to meet Alexander.

Alexander!

Alex!

Alex?

Oh.

OK.

Here he comes.

Ugh.

Ooh.

My name is Alexander.

I'm 25 and I'm a maths teacher.

Super passionate about maths.

And Z equals one plus the residue at C equals -3.

I love the feeling of getting really cool explanations going

and I love looking around the room

and seeing those lightbulb moments when the kids go, "I get it."

So our final answer is zero.

I was born in South Africa so I've been here

since 2003 but for some reason,

I can't really adopt the Aussie accent.

Here's my tie collection.

I got these from my dad because my dad was a tie collector.

It's just pure elegance.

I've always enjoyed viewing myself

as a geek because I was proud of it.

I'm proud of the archetype.

It's something I associate strongly with

and feel passionate about

and like they say, be nice to geeks,

you'll end up working for one one day.

I have a complete lack of ability to generate something romantic.

I just don't know how to approach it.
