Beauty and the Geek is okay for basically anybody. It's actually sort of educational. A series of really attractive girls who really don't have any smarts get a guy partner who is very smart but yet very unpopular. They have to go on challenges. For example, the girls have to learn about politics and comic books. The boys have to learn about celebrities and girls. One team (a boy and girl partnered together) will win a challenge and they get to pick two teams to up for elimination and they are asked a series of questions of what they have learned that week. The team with the least ammount of points is sent home. This show is a bit educational but very harmless. Parents shouldn't worry about it at all.

What Parents Need to Know
About Beauty and the Geek
Parents need to know that the show plays on stereotypes -- the "beauties" are attractive young women who aren't very bright and the "geeks" are smart but unpolished guys with limited social skills. Contestants live in the same house, and share rooms, often with one bed. The beauties dress skimpily, and one episode featured a strip poker competition. Ultimately the beauties and geeks build friendships and respect for each other.

U LEARN A LOT!!
When u first hear about this show you think o it's all going to be about a lot of self centrered girls who make fun of the smart geeky guys. But it is a lot more than that. I watched last season and I was very suprised the first few episodes did what I thought thewy would. But then there was this twist and the girls started getting along with there partners. GREAT SHOW!

AUSOME show but Common sense media rated it WAY to high on age! I would say 10+ just because younger kids might not stay intrested. I fist started watching at 11 and I am 12 now.

The best show ever!
I love this show!!! Its not bad at all. Sure it makes fun of the geeks and how dumb the beauties are, but they learn from each other. This show is a must see.
