Beauty and the Geek is a reality television franchise that first aired in the United States.

The show follows groups of "Beauties" (people — almost always women — who rely on their attractiveness and outgoing personalities but typically lack intellect) and "Geeks" (people — almost always men — who rely on their intellect, but typically lack social ability) who must pair up to compete in challenges to avoid elimination.

While a competition, the show is also billed as a social experiment, in which each contestant typically learns from his or her teammate. The geeks help beauties prepare to compete in challenges of intellect and the beauties prepare the geeks to compete in challenges involving social skills.
