Who Wants to be a Geek?

iceman (Mike) · #1 04-02-2013, 04:33 PM

Kinda random I'm sure.. surely people don't think amateur astronomers are GEEKS, but I got an email from a casting agent for "Beauty and the Geek Australia", asking me to post on IceInSpace to see if anyone is interested in being on the next series

Hi there,

My name is Caitlan and I work at Shine Australia (production Company) and we are starting to cast for the next Series of Beauty and The Geek. We are currently looking for young gents between the ages of 18-30 who maybe need a little help in meeting a nice girl! We are looking for gents with keen interests in many fields, and we were hoping you might be able to post a flyer on your site and see if any of your members might know of a potential contender?

Understand if you're not keen, but we are spreading the net wide this year and keen to meet lots of interesting fellows!

Caitlan Finch
Production Assistant – Beauty And The Geek
Shine Australia

E: caitlan.finch@shineaustralia.com

I'll leave it to any interested parties to email her directly, but unfortunately I'm out of their age bracket

I don't know what you're holding back for... I'm 18 with 33 years experience... but I already have a nice girl. Why would I want another?

I think I remember someone else getting one of these on here a couple of years ago? For some reason, I keep thinking Narayan. Or, maybe he posted about it.

Seeing stuff like this reminds me how old I'm getting. :S

How come geeks always have to be guys? Why don't they have a series of geeky girls vs jocks?

18-30? I dimly remember being that young. I think.

Haha saw one of these up on the Sci-fi Channel forums a couple of years back when I was all shipped up.

Might throw my hat in the ring, although I don't think they want people that have been going to the gym for the last couple of years and starting to get into decent shape... Maybe I should watch an episode first lol.

I think they did have a geek girl on one series. She didn't win though.

My younger child will leave that demographic this year.

The house up Dural way where they filmed the previous series was sold recently.

18-30 age restriction makes
Contiki Holidays look generous in holiday tours for 18-35s.

Nikolas (Nik) · #16 04-02-2013, 10:40 PM

Why would anyone want to condone this lowbrow show? It's an insult to intelligence and to commonsense. Shows like this are an indictment to the society we are living in and only serve to make the cause of science one of ridicule.

Octane (Humayun) · #17 04-02-2013, 11:21 PM

lmao, Troy.

Missed it by that much (said in a Maxwell Smart voice).

I was hit by the ugly stick repeatedly until knocked unconcious, dropped over a cliff being left for dead, bounced back up. And in the end, married an international fashion model who is also a psychologist (now at uni studying med, to become a psychiatrist)

Weirder things have happened in this world.

I've got a head like a bucket full of smashed crabs, so I'd probably fit right in on their show....
