Beauty and the Geek - Season 8 - Australia - Episodes - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Tuned in late so will have to post thoughts later when I've seen the replay but it's already living up to my lofty expectations. 

Well played, editors.  Well played.

ETA: OK all caught up. Warm, funny and endearing as always. The casting department is at the core of this show's success IMO.

A good mix of platonic parings and potential romantic connections. These two seem like a perfect coupling. When's the wedding?

This pairing, and Angelique's rainbow pride flair, makes me think there might be a Sam-centred storyline, as speculated upthread.

All in all a good first episode. Excited for four nights a week - bring it on!

@Bobette thank you so much for all the updates. After I read your posts I went to Channel 9 but it wouldn't let me view it. I downloaded the hulu extension for Chrome changed it to Au but it still didn't work.

I came back here to ask if there was a link and saw your new post in the link thread. It works!

I'm going to watch in a bit!

Loved it! From beginning to end. At first I thought I was watching a preview of a movie. The introduction with the army tanks and the interrogation room was so unique and very different.

Sophie is a great host. A great mix of super adorable contestants, both beauties and geeks. Literally laughed quite a few times. Reading a book for a year now and turned two pages, Harry Potter and the lover of trains guy.

A good first pairing. I'm wondering if those are the ones to keep an eye on as you pointed out @Bobette since they just about fast forward the other couples or didn't pay as much attention.

Next epi previews look so good!

@GuardianAngel glad you enjoyed it

For any lurkers wanting to watch, head here:

There are links to all of last season's episodes, and season 8 links will be added to the bottom of the thread as each airs.

@Bobette Did I read somewhere it's on twice a week?

@GuardianAngel Nope - FOUR - Sun to Wed!

Watching episode 2 now.  

Sam says he's "very scared to open up who I properly am", IMO laying the foundation for the storyline I previously speculated about.  

Good on you Sam!  If anyone gives you a hard time you send them here to me.  




The makeover crew are going to have a field day with Christopher.  That bone structure!  Could be a model IMO.




Sophie is such a goofball




Love these two together - a better matchup than the original pairings IMO.

@Bobette Four!!!

Thanks for the previews!

@GuardianAngel Episode 2 has just gone up - I'll post the link on the viewing thread

@Bobette I'm going to watch now! Thanks!

I forgot to mention, I loved the mermaid. Unbelievable talent.

This show focuses on helping each other learn about themselves and how to improve their feelings of self worth. We need more of this!

Sophie helping Jason love himself is just one example. So sweet.

Very smart words from Sam. Enjoy your life and live it how you want without worrying about what others say. @Bobette I think you're on to something. "Properly am" stuck out like a sore thumb.

Tegan was so supportive to Anthony, loved that scary fire challenge.

At the mixer, Sam and Angelique are adorable. IA Jayden and Aimie seem right for each other. Aimie kills me.

omg the previews!!

Episode 3 Preview

Cameras, cowboys and kisses, oh my! #BATG continues tonight 7.30pm on @Channel9 and @9Now pic.twitter.com/mxNxpQyHcd
