Beauty and the Geek, Sophie Monk: Nine confirms premiere date

After almost seven years, Beauty and the Geek Australia is set to return to screens in a matter of weeks.

And on Sunday, Channel Nine finally confirmed the show’s long-awaited premiere date as Sunday, July 11, at 7pm.

On its launch night, the series – hosted by Sophie Monk – will be competing against the final stages of MasterChef and Seven’s Framer Wants A Wife, which premieres a week prior on July 4.

The date comes just days after the network gave a sneak peek at the upcoming reboot by sharing a two and half minute clip to Instagram.

The trailer kicks off showing footage of this year’s geeks travelling by speed boat to meet their beauties on Sydney Harbour.

One nerd is then heard complaining, ‘The waves splashing onto me. It gets onto the skin and salt water is not good for the skin. It’s like nature’s aftershave.’

Upon arrival at their destination, the nerds are introduced to the beauties by host Sophie Monk.

‘Girls, are you ready to meet your men?’ asks Sophie.

At one point in the teaser, one brunette beauty is left speechless after a geek asked what her apocalypse survival plan was.

While things appear to get off to an awkward start for some, it appears others may find love on the reality show.

One female describes her partner as ‘low-key hot’, while another says that she is ‘open to falling in love with a geek’.

While Kyly Clarke wrote: ‘I think I have replayed that last 10 seconds about 20 times already. Laughing so hard.’
