An anti-announcement: Bach UK hasn't been renewed.  Fair enough IMO - the last one was rubbish.

OH MY GOD YES

Channel 9 upfronts: Sophie Monk to host new version of Beauty and the Geek

Source

LOVED the first seasons of this show and Sophie will be the PERFECT host!

Yessss I’m very happy about that! Loved that show.

Yay me too!  In fact, if anyone is wondering if they were really geeks, I can confirm .  Knew one of them and he most definitely was a geek.

@Agent99 SAME!  My sister has links to the guy who's research involved shooting lasers at monkeys.   100% genuine nerd.

She did say though that they encouraged him to grow his hair/beard in the lead up to the show and wear glasses rather than contacts until after the Makeover Episode (which I confess is always my favourite part of any season )

IMO being a nerd is way more trendy/acceptable these days than when this show started (2009?) so there is a danger some faux geeks might try to sneak in, but the producers did a great job at casting the past seasons so fingers crossed.

@GuardianAngel Could we perhaps get a thread for this?  It's airing in 2021.  Also could we please get a thread for BiP AU Season 4?
