Beauty and the Geek viewers were left gobsmacked on Sunday night after four of the nerdy contestants received incredible makeovers.
George Goldfeder, Lachlan Mansell, James Letheby and Alexander Wojno looked unrecognisable after their transformations – ditching unkept beards and daggy clothes in favour of sleek haircuts and stylish ensembles.
And while many viewers were delighted by the episode, others were heartbroken that fan favourite Mitchell Berryman, 28, was sent home shortly before the makeovers, meaning he didn’t receive one at all.
New man: George was the first to reveal his makeover on Beauty and the Geek, walking out looking a suave in a black shirt tucked into beige pants with a matching suit jacket
Dungeons and Dragons fan George was the first to receive his new look, with one fan even comparing him to Hollywood star Tom Cruise.
‘My thoughts exactly,’ another viewer wholeheartedly agreed.
The 27-year-old walked out in a suave ensemble comprising a black shirt tucked into beige pants with a matching suit jacket.
‘Best makeover! Could see your confidence jump to 1000!’ a fan gushed.

His former self: Alexander Wojno was the last makeover, but certainly not the least impressive
Meanwhile, other viewers were obsessed with mathematician Alexander’s new appearance.
The 26-year-old showed off a shaved head and a European style in the form of a white striped T-shirt, a tailored white jacket and navy pants.
One fan wrote: ‘The made over @alexmcchad looks like my husband!’
‘Alex, smoking hot!!!’ another added, while a third chimed in: ‘I’d multiply with Alex any day…’
Alex perhaps had one of the more painful makeovers, getting his body completely waxed before unveiling his look for the camera.
Wait for it: James Letheby walked out in a cool and casual ensemble that had some likening the geek to ‘Ryan Gosling from The Notebook’. Pictured in his BATG promo shot
Who’s that guy? James appeared more confident as he showed off his new look alongside host Sophie Monk
Confident: Lachlan Mansell (pictured), 32, also received a makeover on Sunday night’s episode. He appeared confident in a white shirt with a beige jacket on top, cropped black pants and sneakers
‘Alex was so funny this episode getting the wax!!! And his reaction to the transformation! He’s awesome!!’ a viewer chimed in, discussing his effort.
Others commented on the group’s makeover as a whole, with one fan gushing: ‘They all look they belong in a boy band!’
However, others were quick to share their disappointment that avid gamer Mitchell failed to receive a makeover, after being eliminated with his partner Ashleigh Thomason on the very same day.
‘Wish Mitchell got his makeover. I wanted to see his. They should do all the eliminated guys as a special reunion makeover episode,’ one fan wrote.
