Meet the glamorous cast of Beauty and the Geek 

After seven years off the air, Beauty and the Geek is finally back for a brand new season.

The feel-good reality series follows ten beautiful women and ten nerdy guys as they work together on real-life challenges in a bid to find a romantic spark.

This year’s glamorous beauties range from a red carpet reporter and a model to a public servant and a receptionist.

Hosted by Sophie Monk, Beauty and the Geek premieres on Sunday, July 11, at 7.00pm on Channel 9.

Aira, 23, New South Wales 

Aira is like the Kim Kardashian of her local community. Although she describes herself as ditzy and funny, Aira spends her weekdays working as a medical secretary and spends her weekends going out for dinner and cocktails with her girlfriends.

Aira’s friends describe her as girly, loving and great at giving advice and as a self-confessed social butterfly, Aira never gets nervous in social situations and loves to meet new people. 

Gullible and a little bit of a procrastinator, academia isn’t Aira’s strong suit but she doesn’t let that bother her. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and is always having a laugh with her friends. 

Ashleigh, 31, Queensland 

Poised, sweet and super happy are all the traits 31-year-old Ashleigh and a Disney princess have in common. A performer by trade, Ashleigh spent the past five years in Japan working at a large theme park, where she got to dress up as cartoon characters, superheroes and princesses every day.

Ashleigh studied pathology collection at university and has a fascination with blood sciences. She’s eager to learn and is hoping the geeks can expand her knowledge on technological things. She says, ‘I have no idea about iCloud, so I think a geek could certainly teach me a few new things.’ 

Bryanna, 29, Victoria

Bryanna is an entertainment reporter, who loves to rollerblade along the beach. Her perfect weekend would involve getting up early and going for a rollerblade, followed by a coffee with her friends at a local café. 

Comparing herself to Bridget Jones, Bryanna has often been unlucky in love and has never had a boyfriend. She’s attracted to people’s souls and doesn’t have a usual type, so as long as a partner shares the same values, attitudes and philosophies as her, she would be pretty content.

Eliza, 21, New South Wales

21-year-old receptionist Eliza is larger than life with endless amounts of enthusiasm and energy. She’s a bit of a wild child, who is just enjoying being young and living in Bondi. Her passions are the gym, the beach, boys and drinking cocktails and although she has never been in a relationship, Eliza has no trouble talking to boys and often takes them out on ice cream dates.

When it comes to boys, her ideal type is a bad boy with a tan and she describes herself as being super competitive and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Eliza has zero filter and will be the party starter of the beauties.

Gabrielle, 20, Queensland

Gabrielle’s natural beauty lights up every room she steps foot into and her easy going and composed personality naturally puts others at ease. As a 20 – year – old student studying Criminology, Gabrielle dreams of one day becoming a detective and hopes to work with juvenile offenders.

Coming into the series, Gabrielle is most looking forward to making new friends with the beauties and geeks but is still pretty nervous about the unknown that she could encounter. Her relationship history isn’t all that exciting and she says that she has always dated the wrong person at the wrong time. She admits she can be nervous in some social situations, and that as a child she was pretty shy. Gabrielle is hoping this shyness will help her understand the geeks and she hopes to be able to help them improve their self-confidence.

Jessica A, 18, Western Australia

Jessica is a 19-year-old student studying Screen Production and Journalism, who sells ethical handmade clothing and accessories as a side hustle. She lists her hobbies as sewing, being environmentally conscious and spiritual and her adventurous personality is sure to not go unnoticed by the geeks.

When it comes to her relationship history, Jessica had her first and only relationship last year. She says they were completely different people and her ideal partner is someone who is the male version of herself. She typically goes for nicer, introverted and gentle guys and usually steers clear of arrogant guys she just knows could ruin her life.

Jess H, 23, South Australia

With a Bachelor of Media in Journalism, a Certificate in Meteorology, and the ability to recite 30 elements of the periodic tables by memory, 23-year-old Jess has both the beauty and the brains. Coming across as a little ditzy due to her bubbly personality and infectiously high energy, Jess is still able to laugh at herself and joke around with her friends.

Jess has strong family values and a really close connection with her mum but this didn’t stop her from moving out of home when she was just 18-years-old. She can be very emotional and has been known to cry at the drop of a hat. Jess has a break up playlist on stand by and often tears up while watching her favourite rom com.

Josie, 21, New South Wales

21-year-old Josie is a total country girl at heart, having grown up in regional NSW until she was 18. She has a super laid back and bubbly personality and being a full-time dancer has always been a lifelong dream of hers. 

Josie doesn’t get awkward in social situations and says she finds it very easy to talk to people and have natural conversations. She thrives in social and group environments, whether it be with people she already knows, or meeting a group for the first time. She’s always been a people person and hates awkward silences.

Kiera, 23, Victoria

23-year-old Kiera is a fun loving, big ball of energy. Listing her opinionated nature as both her strength and her weakness, her motto in life is that ‘talent will get you in the door and personality will keep you in the room.’

As a public servant for the Victorian Government, Kiera admits that maths is definitely not one of her strong suits. She has a soft spot for geeks, which she credits to growing up with two brothers and is confident this will work in her favour to help her build a real and genuine connection with the geek she is partnered with.

Leticia, 25, Victoria 

Despite her small size, Leticia’s big outrageous personality instantly fills any room she steps foot into. She brings this fun loving and carefree attitude into her professional life as a dental receptionist and can often be caught singing and talking to herself at the front desk

Leticia is a bona fide pocket rocket who is full of energy and is constantly apologising for being too full on. Coming into the series, Leticia says she loves the idea of two completely different worlds colliding and is excited to be her geek’s number one hype girl.
