The four remaining Beauty and the Geek ‘Geeks’ underwent their makeovers during Monday’s episode of the reality series, and one received instant approval for her ‘Beauty’, which jumped to the his arms for a lingering kiss.
Check out the stunning makeovers below…
jason
Victorian muso Jason, 29, had perhaps the biggest transformation of the night, losing his shaggy hair and beard, and stepped out with a noticeable air of confidence and even a few male model poses.
He said a lot had changed since the show started, explaining that on his first day, he “could barely get within 20 meters of the Belles”.
Jason received wild reactions from the other contestants, one of whom summed up the mood by saying: “Who the hell is this?”
The beauty he had been paired with, Emily, couldn’t stop screaming.
“When I looked in the mirror, I didn’t recognize myself. I saw someone new…almost like a lost sibling or something. It was really wild to see me like that,” Jason said.
“I feel like a weight has been lifted off me. Something as simple as not having beard hair to play with or facial hair to block my view of things is tremendously powerful for my confidence.”
Aaron
NSW train driver Aaron said he had come “so far” on the show, listing some of his “firsts”.
“I’ve overcome my fear of dogs, I’ve jumped from a train through a firewall, I’ve gone shirtless and I’ve grown a lot. I’ve changed a lot from this experience,” he said.
Emerging after the makeover with a new haircut and outfit, Aaron said he felt “so, so happy… I’m ready to start living now”.
His beau Karly was full of praise and dubbed him his “sexy dance Aaron-cini”.
Anthony
A self-proclaimed Harry Potter superfan, Anthony, 26, was bullied in high school and had never built up his self-confidence after that trauma.
So understandably her makeover was an emotional experience – she shed a tear or two when she looked in the mirror for the first time.
“It was very emotional,” he said. “It was like, ‘Why can’t you love yourself?’ Why can’t you be proud of who you are?’”
Luckily, his beau Tegan was there to be his biggest cheerleader, dubbing the new-look Anthony “a sugar-rich bad boy.”
Michael
Fans who have been watching this season will know that children’s party entertainer Michael, 25, has already developed a great connection with his beau, Tara.
Still, it was a shock when the new-look Michael came out, and an overwhelmed Tara immediately ran into his arms to plant a long, lingering kiss on his lips.
For Michael, it was the result of the dream.
“That was so romantic. I’ve dreamed of a moment like that. I felt so, so happy…so wanted. I didn’t know you could move so fast in heels!” he said
Tara couldn’t hide her excitement at the new look Michael.
“Obviously I fell in love with you before (the makeover) but this is a cherry on top – I’m not complaining,” she said.
“A sexy bonus?” asked host Sophie Monk.
“I’m happy to be your sexy bonus,” Michael said.
After that moment of love, it was a bittersweet ending to the episode as Jason and Emily were eliminated from the competition.
The four makeovers came after fellow contestant Christopher underwent his big transformation last week.
