Attention Hot Bitches/Nerd Dudes Of Melbourne!
Did you know Channel 7 are currently auditioning folks to appear in the upcoming reality television spacktacular Beauty And The Geek? That’s right, they’re making a local version of the program, and they’re looking for spunky girls and intellectually gifted fellows. Interested?
Here’s the press release – soak up the information, why don’t you?
(July 21, 2009) Melbourne ‘geeks’ and ‘beauties’, it’s your chance for television stardom.
Auditions for Channel Seven’s new reality series Beauty and the Geek are taking place this Saturday, July 25.
We’re calling for men with massive brainpower but who may be socially challenged and sexy ladies desperately needing to brush up on their general knowledge.
If this sounds like you, come along to the auditions and please fill out an application form (download it from www.yahoo7.com.au/beautyandthegeek or they will be available on the day) and bring it with you to:
Novotel Melbourne on Collins
270 Collins Street , MelbourneGuys audition is from 8am–12noon.
Girls audition is open from 2pm–6pm.Executive producer Rikkie Proost says, “We’re looking for guys who are proud to be geeks and socially savvy girls who embrace their blonde moments.”
In the ultimate social experiment, the stunning girls and genius guys will live together and be teamed up as they compete in hilarious and heart-warming challenges to test their intellect and social skills. Along the way they’ll grow and learn as they battle it out for a major prize package.
Beauty and the Geek will premiere on Seven later this year. The US version of the international smash hit show is about to enter its sixth season and is executive produced by Ashton Kutcher.
I hope to see at least one Defamer Australia reader on the show.
Comments
The Sydney auditions would have produced more than enough women to fill their quota. This city is brim full of vacuous princesses with the nous of a housebrick and a misplaced attitude of greatness. I would prefer to see a TV show called “So What Do You Actually Bring to the Table?”, where you have a group of eligible males that are being introduced to a selection of Sydney princesses. One by one these women are made to highlight what talents they actually have, instead of just a tight arse and great tits. The only downside would be that the show would be over in a week, as there would be a mass vote-off during the initial show.
Oh god no!
Apparently only four dudes rocked up to the “geek” auditions in Perth. No word on amount of Perth chicks who consider themselves beauties yet.
Auditions like this are pretty much an early sign of doom for a reality show.
Gosh Marto, with an attitude like that I am so surprised you have been swept off your feet by a fabulous, savy, sexy and intelligent Sydney woman.
@tex martini: well its not surprising, geeks might be socially inept but they are hardly stupid. based on any footage of the US version it would take any “geek” about 5 seconds to realize they will portrayed in a manner that is mostly about mocking them and their “beauties” for their social ineptitude/stupidity
in other words, anyone smart enough to meet the requirements of “geek” is smart enough to see national humiliation when they see it.
I considered auditioning, then realised I am a geek without the intellect to match my social ineptitude. Overhearing the ’social butterflys’ talk at uni though, I really don’t think the geeks are missing all that much.The idea of acting like an idiot in front of beautiful women and going home alone does have a certain appeal, especially if there is alcohol involved. It’s been my standard weekend for years.
