Beauty & The Nerd is a German reality game show with dating show elements. After ProSieben broadcast a first season in 2013, the private broadcaster showed a second season in 2020.

concept

Two groups of candidates are cast in advance , once summarized by the broadcaster under the formula "brain matter meets dream size":

  • Young women who primarily define themselves through their appearance, who are particularly interested in beauty and fashion, who are open to flirting and who are single.
  • Young single men who are very familiar with computers, with an interest in science, science fiction or fantasy, but are without experience with the opposite sex.

Couples are put together from the two groups, who share a room in a luxurious villa at a "dream location " for several weeks and compete with the other couples. The "beauties" also have to pass knowledge tasks, while the " nerds " also have to prove their social suitability and social intelligence. In each episode, at least one team is eliminated until the winning pair has been determined, which wins 50,000 euros (2013 100,000 euros). At the beginning the protagonists have to hand over their cell phones, there is no television and no music.

Season 1 (2013)

The first season with eight beauty & nerd couples was held in South Africa in 2013. In the final fourth episode, five couples fought for the 100,000 euros, won by computer scientists Kevin (28) and model Julia (22).

Season 2 (2020)

As early as March 2019, Endemol Shine Germany reported on the gender-neutral search for candidates for a new edition of the format. As a result, a couple made up of a “male beauty” and a female nerd took part in the competition. The shooting days were scheduled from September 3 to October 5, 2019 in Ibiza . According to the broadcaster, the male nerds between the ages of 21 and 32 consisted of a Superman fan, several computer fans and gamblers , a Magic card collector and a candidate who (based on the figure Link from The Legend of Zelda ) prefers to be Elf costume goes on the street. The age of the beauties was between 19 and 32 years.

Pair formation

A VW bus was called “Nerd-Express”, in which “seven eccentrics [were] on Ibiza” at the beginning. The bus reached a villa where the seven gathered behind a partition; on the other side the seven beauties waited in mini dresses and high heels . The nerds stepped in front of the beauties and stood for selection. If more than one beauty was interested in the same nerd, the nerd decided. If Beauty wasn't interested in a nerd, he went back and stepped forward in a second round.

All couples spent the first night in the common rooms before moving into common rooms.

The couple check was then carried out by the psychologist Michael Thiel, known from German TV programs, with the beauties and the psychologist, Susana Ferreras, who practiced in Ibiza, with the nerds. The beauties had to answer intelligence questions, the nerds were tested with beauty questions. As a result, the completely unsuitable couple Kim & Sven K. received the option to choose new partners within an hour.

final

The last two couples had to go on a scavenger hunt that led them to a place where they had to pitch two tents to spend the night. The next day they were transferred to a sailing boat where the decision about victory would be made. The first arithmetic problem was solved correctly by both beauties amid screams from the competition. In the following three challenges, the Annabel & Elias team secured a time advantage, which led Elias to the chest first in the fifth challenge. However, he acted so unhappy when entering the resolved code that Illya was able to open his lock before him and he and Kim took the 50,000 euros in profit.

The reunion and accusation of fraud

The final episode on July 9, 2020 was followed by the special Das Wiedersehen . In seven rounds of talks with all (six times with five and one with four), participants with moderator exchanged candidate Christian Düren after Einspielern particular about the occurred conflicts. Illya took part in the first and last round, who was accused by Annabel of having said on departure that she was looking forward to his girlfriend, even though the criterion for participation was "single". Kim also found that his targeted assaults did not correspond to the behavior of a virgin who Illya had pretended to be. When asked by Düren about the existence of a girlfriend at the time, Illya said that she “couldn't make a statement for legal reasons”. Even before the finale, the picture had revealed that Illya had specified “Nerd” under “Role” on his actor sedcard for “Beauty & The Nerd”, as well as on photos of the sedcard that dated the picture to the beginning of 2019, as after Makeover looked like. Kim said she was uncomfortable with "being ripped into the shit" by Illya. Illya refused requests from fellow players to give Elias the money, as he had already planned it. In response to inquiries, ProSieben initially did not express its intention to reclaim the money, but announced on July 17, 2020 that it would not pay out Illya's share of the profit of 25,000 euros, but rather donate it to Die Arche . Kim's share of the profits is not affected, the broadcaster said.

criticism

Anja Rützel ( Der Spiegel ): "Why does 'Beauty & The Nerd' naturally assume that 'Beauty', especially since the predominantly surgically plastinated form propagated here, would necessarily be the superior principle in this artificially concreted dualism, to which the less stenciled, untrimmed subject and need to adjust? "
