Beauty and the Geek is a Reality TV show that has British, American and Australian versions. The premise of the show is to get together a group of beautiful women and a group of geeks, and to pair them off with each other. The groups then have to complete challenges outside of their typical comfort zone, for example the beauties may have to visit a Comic Book convention. If a team wins the challenge, they become safe from elimination, and have to choose one of the other teams to send to the elimination room. Elimination is a run-off between two teams, is decided in eight questions, 2 for each person. The beauties have to answer questions on typical geek topics, and the geeks have to answer questions on dating and fashion.The American version of the show ran for five seasons, and each show has had a slightly different format. The British version lasted only one season but the Australian version has been much more successful, with 6 seasons finished under their belt. | |

Greedy Jew | |
| Beauty and the Geek / int_12dc4d97 | comment |
Greedy Jew: Inverted. While the American/British opening song is about getting lots of money, the Israeli version is about two people working up the courage to come together from different worlds. Although one of the contestants on the second season was ridiculously stingy for no apparent reason, partially playing straight the All Jews Are Cheapskates trope. | |

Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: In the finale of Season 3, the winner was determined by the final two teams Megan & Scooter and Cecille & Nate) garnering jury votes note The jury consisted of previously eliminated contestants who each voted individually to win. Instead of telling the jury to vote for his team, Nate tells people to vote for Megan & Scooter in order to teach his partner Cecile a lesson about humility, thus giving up the grand prize of $250,000. | |

Dumb Blonde | |
| Beauty and the Geek / int_8e4a0f15 | comment |
Dumb Blonde: Many of the beauties fit this trope. In fact this trope is part of the point of the series. BUT, part of the point is also that most of them are not dumb, and have brains that they can use if given incentive. | |
