Beauty and the Geek is an American reality competition television series produced by Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg and Nick Santora in which a group of "Beauties" (young women who are intellectually inept) and a group of "Geeks" (young men who are socially inept) are paired up to compete as couples for a shared $250,000 and other prizes.

The series originally aired in the USA on The CW (formerly The WB) from 1 June, 2005 to 13 May, 2008. There are 48 episodes in five seasons. The 5th season was the last.

The first season was hosted by Brian McFayden. He was replaced for Season 2 by Mike Richards, who went on to host all the remaining seasons.

Season 1 Synopsis

Billed as "reality television's latest social experiment," Beauty And The Geek features seven "academically impaired" attractive women and seven "brilliant but socially challenged" men.

Paired together in male/female teams of two, the couples compete in a series of activities designed to test their intellects, fashion savvy, etc., with the winning couple winning a $250,000 grand prize.

Along the way, each group is tested on their weaknesses, with the men competing in a massage event and the women competing in tasks including a spelling bee and a rocket launching challenge.
