I seem to have way more girls than guys so thinking there's another 3 guys to find, which would even out at 10 couples.  

@Bobette Great work. Do you know when it airs. I am way more interested in this than Jimmy's season.

Same.    

I'm expecting at least one couple to come out of this show and looking forward to seeing Sophie on screen again - she was perfect casting for this IMO.  I haven't seen a start date but @butterflylove mentioned July 11th as a possibility.

Hmm..

Farmer will nearly be wrapped by the time Bach airs won't it? Going off last years 10eps it seems Bach will premiere a couple days before Farmer's finale. And if Farmer again airs only only Sunday's and Monday's there won't be any direct episode competition.

BATG is more interesting though. Did I see a July 11 (Sunday) premiere date floating around the other day? I'm interested to see how many episodes the new format will have and what nights it's going to air.

By process of elimination/cross referencing profile pics with the trailer I reckon this guy is probably Popular George:



So the ones we don't currently have an IG account for are Frank from Urology:



This guy with the aversion to salt water:



And Mr Suave to Sophie's right rocking the bold 70s shirt here:



It's possible they're just not on social media (since they're obviously smart)

ETA:  I've seen some comments on SM complaining about the makeovers because "they don't need them" to which I say: Lighten up, from past seasons the guys seem to enjoy the pampering and confidence boost, and most of them look like their old selves again within a few episodes anyway.

BRING. IT. ON. 

BATG never interested me, and it still doesn't, so I hope everyone enjoys watching it! - but found the article I was looking at with an airdate (and names all the cast).

hit.com.au wrote:The beauties include a professional theme park princess, a vivacious tanning and gym lover, a red carpet reporter and a criminology student and model. Among the geeks are a maths teacher, an ER doctor/wrestling fan, a motorsport fanatic and a law graduate. We're impressed.

But before we dive deeper, let's reveal when it all kicks off, shall we? Beauty and the Geek premieres on Sunday, July 11 at 7pm on Channel 9!

Nice catch @butterflylove!  It would have helped if they'd published that a day earlier.  I might have a couple of the girls wrong - will go through the list and match names & faces to IG accounts this arvo if I get time.  I think the geeks I found are all correct so the ones still to find (if they're on IG) are Kyle, Frank and Mitchell.

Thanks for all the updates!! This show intrigues me and I'm looking forward to following along!

OK cool I think these match up.  Names and bios are from the article @butterflylove found (link here) IG accounts are my best guesses - let me know if I have any wrong.  Still looking for those in purple - 3 guys 1 girl.

I wonder why Ch 9 haven't officially released the cast list themselves yet?  Not complaining though - this is the most sleuthing I've gotten to do in ages thanks to TPTB and their sucky new Bach/Bette no-photo policy!

No wonder I could find these boys - looks like they only opened their accounts today.

It looks like Frank is the solitary hold out - still no account for him (even on the official show follow list)

Oddly the show IG isn't following Gabrielle or Leticia - might be nothing but worth noting.  

@Bobette thanks for all the updates!!

I noticed in the IG vid and post they are not focusing on the "drama" which is such a turn off for me.

Go Geeks! This looks like it's going to be a great season!

Yep I'm really looking forward to it.  This screenshot is the highlight of the preview for me - this is what genuine emotion looks like IMO (take note, Bachelor producers!)
