RETURN OF THE “GEEK”
Released by The WB


RETURN OF THE “GEEK”

Burbank, CA December 6, 2005

SECOND SEASON OF “BEAUTY AND THE GEEK” BEGINS ITS EIGHT-EPISODE RUN ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 12

HIT REALITY SERIES FROM ASHTON KUTCHER AND JASON GOLDBERG RETURNS WITH A NEW GROUP OF BEAUTIES AND BRAINIACS

The WB's breakout hit reality show, BEAUTY AND THE GEEK, will return for its second installment on Thursday, January 12, (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) with eight episodes, it was announced today by the network's President, Entertainment, David Janollari.

“Ashton and Jason have built a business out of producing unique, provocative television, and the second installment of ‘Geek’ delivers on all levels,” said Janollari. “Viewers will love this cast from the moment they see them, and having a show like this will also allow us to rest ‘Everwood’ so it can finish the season with a long stretch of original episodes. We also plan to double-pump ‘Geek’ in the Friday eight o'clock hour, a strong sampling opportunity that will also enable us to finish the season with a fresh string of ‘What I Like About You’ episodes.”

The producing team of Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg (“Punk'd”) recruited a new group of eight women who are academically impaired and eight men who are brilliant but socially challenged. The second installment will remain true to the series' first season format, pairing up couples for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize. This time, however, each mismatched pair competes in brand new activities designed to test intellect, fashion savvy and social skills. The guys are assigned to makeover a room, while the girls do their best to assemble a computer. There's a karaoke session for the men, and a political debate for the ladies. The girls also do a makeover on the guys, then let them test out their new looks during a session of speed-dating. Finally, the whole group travels to Las Vegas for a highly unusual game of strip-poker.

During these competitions, the geek tries to pass his brains on to the beauty, while the beauty tries to turn the geek into a hottie. At the end, each contestant comes out a changed person, and everyone has their eyes on the prize of $250.000.

I enjoyed it too...mostly because of the cast. I'm skeptical that they'll be able to cast as well again.

But I will tune in and take a look see. That first season was a lot of fun to watch.

Wonder what all those peole are doing now.

I agree. I thought the girls were pretty but not stunningly beautiful or fake looking. The guys also seemed like real 'average joes'. that short redheaded guy was so cute when he'd get flustered and blush bright red!!

I liked the way this show promoted teamwork and opened up both sides to a different way of communicating.

I also really liked the way they picked teams. When a person has made a choice they are more likely to try and make it work.

I was so glad to see Richard back. I think he's funny. I hope this new cast is just as great as the original was!

Best line of the evening: One of the girls is talking with one of the "geeks" and they say the same thing at the same time. She squeals, "Oh, we must have ESPN!"

The sun is a planet, but it's really hot and we can never go there. Are people really this dumb?

Tune in tonight for the the first episode.

I liked the new group. I hate the way they ended the show though, they should have had a 2 hr premiere.

I think those 2 were dumb to split up teams..puts a big ass target on their backs

I missed the last segment where they were going to say which teams they split up. Can anybody fill me in?

I think they left us hanging for next week, Peapod. The only thing I got was that they were going to split up their own team. I think the girl was a little upset with the guy and his power trip. She wanted to leave the teams alone, but apparently he didn't agree with her. I think that would have been a smarter move. Splitting the teams up does put a target on them.
