Jeremy and Emma win Beauty & the Geek

By David Knox on November 27, 2009 / Filed Under News 9

bgJeremy Reading and Emma Cam have won the first series of Seven’s  Beauty and the Geek Australia.

They beat Corin Storkey and Lisa McMahon in the final elimination quiz.

The win came down to a final question that saw Storkey and McMahon eliminated by a tough question. Storkey had been the subject of reports that suggested he has romantic experience and therefore wasn’t a true ‘Geek.’

For their win Reading and Cam win a $100,000 cash prize.

Cam said of the Geeks, “I learnt so much from them and I hope it has given others insight into what brilliant people they really are.

“I want to thank my partner Jeremy for everything he did for me while in the house. I couldn’t have asked for a better team mate, mentor and friend.”

The show has performed well for Seven which will run auditions for a second series in 2010.

    Well I’m just glad that Corin didn’t win. But I also have to agree with Russell on some points: Bernard Curry is indeed quite wooden, and also I find it irritating how people bag Nine for starting and finishing programmes late, when Seven and Ten are just as bad. Complain all you want about Nine having too much 2½ Men or pulling shows incessantly, but it’s biased to complain about them running programmes overtime.

    Pfft, It should have been Xenogene. The poor bloke was doomed to be a geek the moment his parents named him.

    I am totally with Russell on that. I had to mute Bernard Curry and his incessant repeating of the questions and answers and the contestants views on their journey and how much they’d changed. It was indeed traumatic and it almost spoiled my Amazing Race viewing.

    So glad Corin didn’t win. It was hilarious seeing his reaction after he lost. Still wish Xenogene won. What a legend!

    For all those complaining about Channel 9 going overtime, I had to wait 11 minutes after 9:30 for The Amazing Race to start last night – not to mention all the previous episodes where Beauty and the Geek ran between 5 and 10 minutes over. And seriously, if you can win $100,000 for acting completely stupid about social etiquette and worldly knowledge, then I’m gonna sign up for series 2. Do we honestly believe these girls, in particular, are going to be humanitarians now and ditch all the fake tan and accessories? The trauma I have had to endure whilst waiting for Amazing Race to start was too much ;) …. with the exception of seeing how wooden Bernard Curry was – especially last night – could have used him as a cricket bat, or perhaps as a robotic maid after listening to some of those final statements – that was a good laugh. Kudos to all those fans that put up with that rubbish :)

    I suggest that the “better” team won, the ring-on and his ridiculously eyelashed partner seemed to smack of the self-entitles.
