Beauty and the Geek debuts well down on last year with 612,000 viewers

Seven’s 2014 debut of reality dating show Beauty and the Geek pulled an audience of 612,000, well down on the 804,000 the show pulled at its launch last year. 

The result is a disappointing start for the Seven franchise, which is now in its fifth Australian season, although the show has traditionally started low before building a greater audience around the time of the makeovers and up to the finale.

Meanwhile The Block has continued to consistently deliver strong audiences ahead of Sunday’s auction with 1.388m tuning in for last night’s episode at 7.30pm and Big Brother drawing a solid 739,000 viewers at 8.30pm.
