It’s been a bang-up success for Channel 7 three years running now, and a new season of Beauty and the Geek Australia in 2012 was almost assured because of it. It’s delicious, light-hearted fun and the makeovers are ALWAYS a hit. Geeky? Beautiful? Sign up! From the press release:

CALLING ALL BEAUTIES AND GEEKS – BEAUTY AND THE GEEK IS BACK IN 2012!

Seven’s reality hit Beauty and the Geek Australia will return for a fourth series later this year.

Following in the footsteps of last year’s amazing makeovers and personal transformations, applications are now open to find academically gifted yet socially awkward geeks to team up with some big-hearted beauties who are more into their looks than books.

All beauties and geeks are invited to apply by going to the official website and filling out the application form at: www.beautyandthegeek.com.au

Last year’s series saw Lachlan and Sarah take home the $100,000 prize, with Lachlan also finding love with Sydney beauty Jordan during the filming of the series.

In the ultimate social experiment, the glitzy 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.

Applicants must be aged over 18.

Produced by Shine Australia, the fourth series of Beauty and the Geek Australia will premiere on Seven later this year. The show was a Thursday night hit, with an audience of over 1.5 million tuning in for the makeover episodes.
