The goal of “Beauty and the Geek” is to couple seemingly mismatched pairs and see which can work best together, said David Janollari, the network’s entertainment president, on Saturday. “It’s really looking at stereotypes of people and how we look at beautiful women and not-so-beautiful men,” he said.
