(Burbank, CA) November 28, 2007 � In a surprise twist on last night's episode of "Beauty and the Geek," viewers learned that for the first time in the history of the series, they will be able to vote for the winning team of the show's $250,000 grand prize! The season finale of "Beauty and the Geek," in which America's winner is revealed, will air on Tuesday, December 4 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) on The CW.
