Season 2 Synopsis
From the producing team of Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg (Punk’d), Beauty And The Geek's second season features 16 new contestants.
The second installment pairs eight beautiful, sexy and socially savvy women with eight intellectually endowed, but socially stunted men for a chance to win a $250,000 grand prize.
Each pair competes in various activities designed to test their intellect, pop knowledge and social skills. Challenges include political debates for the girls, a speed dating night for the guys, plus a road trip to Las Vegas where a game of strip poker finds the beauties playing the hand and the geeks shedding their clothing.
During the competitions the geeks try to turn the beauties into brains and the beauties try to turn the geeks into hotties.
At the end of each episode, two couples face the elimination room, where they're quizzed on the knowledge or lack thereof that they've obtained from their partner.
Living at opposite ends of the social spectrum, the geeks try to pass their brains on to the beauties, while the beauties provide social skills to the geeks.
One couple will make it to the end and walk away with the bucks.
