Beauty and the Geek (2005)

The nine new beauties arrive via Air Beauty and nine new geeks arrive via the Geek Mobile. Everyone is surprised to learn they will compete as teams of beauties vs. teams of geeks. Upon moving into the mansion and getting used to their new surroundings, the beauties are required to shed their make-up and high heels and are given a complete make-under. Once prosthetic noses and oversize sweaters are added, the girls must put their social skills to the test by trying to secure phone numbers from unsuspecting guys at a bar. The geeks find themselves in the brand new quiz room where one geek is sent home.

With the competition well under way, everyone must showcase their talents when instructed to perform in a beauty vs. geek talent show. Flirtations between several beauties and geeks cause some startling consequences. Fearful of losing her spot in the house, one beauty is willing to do whatever it takes to stick around, but rocks the boat when she frustrates both teams.

When the beauties face off against the geeks in a game of flag football, the action on the field becomes highly aggressive. One player gets injured while another suffers a different kind of fate. Back at the mansion, the social experiment takes another serious turn.

Newly formed geeks and beauty duos try combining skills when their first team challenges are revealed. The social experiment takes a technical turn when the beauties must present a homemade science project to some discerning critics. Some geeks become smooth operators when offering relationship advice to live callers on Dr. Drew's nationally syndicated radio program, "Loveline." One unlucky pair doesn't make the grade and leaves the house.

The highly anticipated geek makeover has arrived and the remaining guys shock the beauties with their new looks. The teams turn up the heat on the set of the Emmy Award-winning daytime drama "The Young and the Restless," as cast members Michelle Stafford and Joshua Morrow appear to judge the teams on their acting chops. A twist at the stair ceremony lets one team off the hook but leaves the remaining teams in the lurch.

When a practical joke falls flat, a geek loses his cool with one of the beauties. Flames ignite when the geeks must become firefighters and rescue their beauties from a burning building. The beauties get a whiff of a smelly challenge involving two of their least favorite things.

This special highlights the biggest, sexiest and most dramatic moments from the first six episodes of the season. The show will also feature an astounding surprise makeover for one eliminated geek, filmed exclusively for this special. Plus, profiles of this year's most colorful characters, never-before-seen footage in the mansion, unseen moments from casting tapes and the inside scoop on all the clicks, clashes, catfights, and love connections.

The beauties and geeks don their galoshes for a quick getaway to Big Bear Mountain in California. A sled-building challenge paves the way for a bumpy ride as several teams try to make their way down the mountain. A geek's innocent crush on his partner blows up in his face, causing a hostile barrier to grow between them.

After hashing out their differences in Big Bear, one team returns to the mansion and announces to the other teams that they are a force to be reckoned with. Geeks become style gurus when they give head-to-toe makeovers to a group of nerdy girls for this week's challenge. The beauties roll up their sleeves and are tested on their plumbing skills.

The season finale begins with three teams but, in a surprising twist, the team that fares the worst in a pop quiz is sent home immediately. The two teams that know their partners best will continue to compete for $250,000 and a chance at becoming more than just a beauty and a geek. Jaws drop when the eliminated contestants return to the mansion for one final night and the claws come out during a blow-out fight over one geek's affection. Host Mike Richards reveals that there is nothing the final two teams can do to prepare for the final challenge.
