Beauty and the Geek

The secret millionaire of Beauty and the Geek is not so secret anymore — it’s Nathan! The computer code expert from Queensland shared the information with his partner on the show, stewardess Jessica, during a 25-hour hugging challenge. He said, “I think we’ve built a bit of trust in this room so I have a bit of a secret. The secret millionaire in the house is me.” Jessica’s reaction (aside from her reaction, above)? She said in the post-challenge interview, “I started getting really hot and sweaty. I got palpitations. I think I was having a heart attack or anxiety attack.” The rest of the Beauties and Geeks were told at the conclusion of the hugging task, which was won by Greta and Yiran, and Alin and Dane.

It was the winners of the hugging challenge who collectively decided to put Jessica and Nathan through to the elimination round, with Jessica commenting, “I had a gut feeling. Now that Nathan has been announced as the millionaire, everyone’s going to think why does Nathan need the money?” However in the end they made it through, with Bre and Oliver leaving the show. Did you guess Nathan as the cashed-up Geek?

Lachlan and Sarah’s close bond on Beauty and the Geek was the key to their big win on the show’s series finale last night. They were up against Julian and Jordan in the last Q&A round, in which the Beauties and Geeks were tested on their knowledge about their partners. We chatted to the cute pair about how they celebrated, what they’re planning to do with their $100,000 cash prize, how they’ve changed, and how Lachlan is going to make things work long distance with girlfriend Jordan.

How did you guys celebrate?
Sarah: I had some of the Geeks that were able to come from Sydney at my house last night, so we all watched it together. And Lachlan and I had an early night because we had a big day today.
Lachlan: I was at Sarah’s place. We got to bed early because it’s been quite a hectic period. We’ve known for three months that we won, so it was a lot more exciting for family and friends who didn’t know. They probably celebrated harder than we did.

How did you manage to keep it a secret for so long?
Sarah: Not sure [laughs]. I usually can’t keep my mouth shut, so with this I was very proud of myself that I didn’t tell friends. I’ve lied to quite a few people.
Lachlan: I didn’t have any issues at all. We were contractually obliged not to tell anyone, so that’s what I did, I honoured the contract.

Sarah and Lachlan are the winners of Beauty and the Geek Australia 2011! The pair beat Jordan and Julian after answering the most questions correctly in a Q&A where the Beauties and Geeks were tested on how much they knew about their partners. Sarah and Jordan — who is also Lachlan’s girlfriend — found themselves in a tie-breaker situation, where the decider came down to who could answer their Geeks’ height to the closest centimetre. Sarah said Lachlan was 175cm (he’s 180cm) and Jordan said Julian was 151cm (he’s 163cm), so as a result, Sarah and Lachlan were awarded the title, as well as a $100,000 cash prize!
