Beat the Geeks is an American television game show that aired on Comedy Central from 2001 to 2002. The show was rerun on The Comedy Network in Canada. On the show, contestants face off in trivia matches against a panel of three resident "geeks" who are well-versed in music, movies, and television, as well as a fourth guest geek with an alternate area of expertise which varies from episode to episode. The object is to outsmart the geek at their own subject; as a handicap, the geeks are given questions of considerably greater difficulty than the contestants. Beat the Geeks was taped at the Hollywood Center Studios. Rules First round In the first season, the three contestants competed against each other to answer eight toss-up questions, two from each category; the geeks did not play in this round. The first four questions (one per category) were worth 5 points each, and the second four were worth 10 points each. Occasionally, the geeks would give a fact after the question. In the second season, four pairs of questions were asked, one in each geek's category. The first question of each pair was a toss-up among the contestants, worth 10 points. The contestant who answered correctly then played the second toss-up against the relevant Geek. If the contestant answered correctly or if the Geek missed, the contestant scored 10 points; if the contestant missed or if the geek answered correctly, the contestant lost 5 points. In both seasons, the lowest scorer at the end of the round was eliminated. In the event of a tie for low score, a question with a numerical answer was asked and the contestants wrote down their guesses. The one who came closer to the correct answer without going over remained in the game; if both were over, the closer guess won. Second round The remaining two contestants each play a head-to-head challenge against the geek of their choice in order to win the geek's medal. In season 1, if the contestants begin the round tied, they are asked a toss-up question to determine who plays first. In season 2, the winner of a coin toss during a commercial break determined who plays first. Otherwise, the player with the most points started. Once a geek has lost that medal to a contestant, that geek cannot be challenged again until the final round. Season 1 In the first
