The Young and the Restless

The Young and the Restless will be playing a part in The CW's “ultimate social experiment” as cast members Joshua Morrow (Nicholas Newman) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers Newman) welcome the hotties and nerds of Beauty and the Geek.

Previously on Beauty and the Geek, the newly formed beauty-geek duos were presented with challenges involving love and science.  While the beauties worked on a homemade science project, the geeks offered relationship advice to live callers on Dr. Drew's nationally syndicated radio program, Loveline.  At the end of the episode, Jim and Tiffany were eliminated.

Next week, the six remaining geeks will receive a head-to-toe makeover as they visit the set of The Young and the Restless.  The beauties and geeks will be asked to write and perform a prom-themed love scene, while Young and the Restless' Joshua Morrow and Michelle Stafford offer guidance for kissing scenes “without tongue” and serve as judges who will evaluate their acting skills.

The winning couple will attend the world premiere of the suspense thriller film Prom Night, which stars Brittany Snow, Johnathon Schaech, Dana Davis, and Jessica Stroup.  As the winner of this challenge, the couple also becomes much closer to the $250,000 grand prize.

Previously, the set of The Young and the Restless was also used HBO's Entourage for the character of Mrs. Ari, played by Perrey Reeves, to show her possible return to acting as she used to be a regular on the long running soap in her early acting career.

The beauties and the geeks' stint on The Young and the Restless is captured in the episode called “From Geek to Chic,” which is scheduled to air on Tuesday, April 8 at 8pm ET on The CW.  Meanwhile, fans can catch Joshua Morrow and Michelle Stafford weekdays on CBS' The Young and the Restless.
