Did you watch the American version of the social experiment show “Beauty and the Geek”? If you weren’t on board with the show, catch up on the series with ITVBe’s FilmOn page.

“Beauty and the Geek,” now a franchise with shows airing all across the world, features women who fall in the “beauty” category and men who fall in the “geek” category. These two groups–who probably wouldn’t have anything to do with each other outside of this show–are put together into couples to compete for a large cash prize.

Here’s more about the show:

“What do you get if you put a Chess club captain in a castle with a page three girl? You get E4’s latest entertainment show… Beauty and the Geek. In this new show, seven beautiful girls, who get by in life largely by their beauty, are matched up with seven brilliant, but socially inept, geeks to complete a series of challenges together.”

You can watch ITVBe below the post or at its page on FilmOn. There’s more live television from the UK available on FilmOn–search the site to see what’s airing on ITV, BBC One, BBC Two, Channel 4, Channel 5 and more. FilmOn also has more web TV and streaming movies available; you can watch FilmOn for free in SD or, for a low monthly subscription, in HD with added DVR recording space.
