Beauty and the Geek debuts with under 1m but wins 8:30pm slot
Beauty and the Geek Australia returned to Seven last night with 927,000 viewers, according to preliminary metro ratings from OzTam.
The 90-minute show which ran from 8:30 sees physically attractive men and women – the Beauties – teamed up with highly intelligent but socially stunted men and women – the Geeks – in a quest to win a $100,000 prize.
It won the time slot beating Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year on Nine, Rush on Ten and Crownies on ABC1.
The audience for Gap Year, which featured a live performance by British band Coldplay, was up on last week by 26,000 to 850,000.
Seven News won the night with 1.196 million.

I’m an intelligent, inner-city urbane sophisticated media type so I know I’m not allowed to admit this BUT I freakin’ adore Beauty And The Geek. Top stuff.

I love it! I’m excited to see what will happen next week with the new couple they introduced last night- definitely some eye candy for the ladies now!

Proof that H&A were only winning their timeslot the previous weeks as there was nothing else on. Next week is their last and hopefully everlast one.

there are some real weirdos on beauty and the geek this time- people who take it just a liiiiiitle bit too far in my opinion.
Hamish and Andy should stick to what they are good at- radio, and radio only.
