So happy Lachie won. Deserved it os much. Unlucky for Alex.
Don't think George can be too disappointed, he got Josie.

I need some clarification on some of these geeks, I didn't watch the early intro episodes, many of their hobbies and that (martial arts? Race cars?) seem stereotypically NOT geeky.
What's up with that?

Race car guy was geeky and comes across as a bit autistic, certainly on the spectrum. The martial arts guy is an actor.

Race car guy is definitely legit, his mannerisms and speech patterns are exactly like a guy I worked with who I reckon is on the spectrum.
Great to talk to about footy however, he remembers everything.

Nah I don't think Lachie is autistic at all. Articulates himself very well but just lacked confidence at the beginning. I am so, so happy he won.
One of the other dudes - Kyle - was autistic (he said so himself).

George may have lost but he well and truly won

George is fake geek IMO
Based off Instagram feed before batg he has a few posts where he
- reveals he is WAAPA graduate (in a tribute to Heath ledger)
- the photos show him clean shaven
- generally showing off muscles
- aiming to be a stuntman
- does digital art as sideline
Yeh. He won

Not a whole lot of what I'd describe as beauties this season from the 3 or 4 I've seen so far tonight. Very strong class of incels though

I watched a bit on Sunday, show is super cringe but I think they intend it to be.
There were maybe 2 or 3 that I thought were good looking. A lot of average ones on there IMO.
2nd year running watching the show with the misses and the show is still fake as.

Very average lineup of beauties this year, probably only 2 or 3 that is borderline hot, and even that’s being generous.

A friend of mine knows him in real life, since 2008. She said he's completely genuine, he's had that hair for a long time, and she said it was refreshing to see someone be authentically themselves on TV. I think he seems fun, not getting creepy vibes at all (and I'm a woman... I'm a good judge of a creeper
). Loved his makeover, hope it gives him some confidence. Anthony is my favourite, but I am also a huge HP nerd, he seems like a sweet guy. Lots of people do HP cosplay out there. I also own two HP wands. Liking HP as an adult isn't 'childish'. We grew up with these books, and for some people transformed their lives.
I could have been on this show ten years ago as a female geek lol. I relate more to the geeks than the beauties that's for sure.
Been looking at their Instagrams etc and they all seem like nice people who have formed some wholesome friendships.
As for attractiveness, it's more than just what's on the outside, quite clearly lol.

I’m still not taking my wand on a date.
As for the makeover dude tonight I don’t think he actually would be a creeper but he’s got a look of one. I think it’s the sunken eyes and semi detached stare, the makeover was great for him but the hairdo was a little first day of primary school for me.

This new version of beauty and geek is totally something I would apply for when I was early 20s. Now somehow I'm shacked with a kid and maybe more, but yeah.
The old format all the 'geeks' were academically gifted. Way more than me. Now it's more like, nerdy types not necessarily earning a crust as a quantum mechanics engineering professor.
I suppose I could wow the beauties with my knowledge of Star Wars, outdated boomer rock music, action movies, sex scenes from action movies, varieties of knives used by Sylvester Stallone, the sex scene from Road House,Jay Schulz, oldschool Holdens, the sex scene from Rapid Fire, and why Red Dead Redemption 2 is not actually a very good game.
Yeah I didn't have no girlfriends in highschool or following it.

Hahahaha lol fair point I guess
I wouldn't take mine unless we had somehow pre arranged it.
My current partner doesn't even like HP! lol
I can see why you may have thought it... He has deep set eyes and an intense stare. I reckon he could do a bit more with that hairstyle in terms of styling. We shall see in future episodes.

Yeah I feel the same - I'm not academically gifted but a lot of my hobbies would be considered nerdy. I have glasses. Hermione hair. A technical computer job lol. I was way more awkward when I was at Uni than I am now. I came out of my shell a lot. Been with my partner for almost 5 years so I'm not about to apply either

Honestly I remember the old format and it seemed there were a few regular but quiet guys there, who had jobs in IT or something, that really weren't nerdy outside their work duties and knowledge.Yeah I feel the same - I'm not academically gifted but a lot of my hobbies would be considered nerdy.

Now we have guys who's passions includes martial arts! V8 supercars! And footy!
****ing incomprehensible. But it's good to acknowledge you can like stereotypically mainstream Bogan things, yet come off as a geek. It's a real thing.

A tv show about 35-50 year old post divorcees would be a ratings winner.

I loved BatG back in the day but can't bring myself to watch Sophie Monk (in anything, let alone host).
Speaking of hosts of the show, Bernard Curry was a guest at Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne recently. I can't recall what he was there for but I regret not jumping into his Q&A and asking about his time on BatG. I wonder if someone else did?
