Meet the New Contestants on Beauty and the Geek Australia 2012

The social experiment that is Beauty and the Geek is back tonight! Over the years we’ve come to love the show that brings together polar opposites — 10 gorgeous, fun-loving girls and 10 numbers-, stats- and video game-obsessed males with overgrown beards, hair and glasses — puts them in a mansion, pairs them off, and gives them activities and challenges with the aim that they’ll learn more about each other’s worlds. Last year the show introduced its first male Beauty and female Geek. The twist for 2012 is that one of the Geeks is a millionaire — could it possibly be the Geek named Rich? Time will tell. For now, get to know the girls and guys who will be competing for $100,000 over the next few months.

Beauty and the Geek premieres tonight at 8:30 p.m. on Channel Seven.
