In Season 1 stunning former beauty queen and NFL cheerleader Melana Scantlin takes up residence in a beautiful Palm Springs mansion, expecting to meet 16 Prince Charmings who will vie to win her heart. What she doesn’t know is that the men she’s about to meet are actually “Average Joes” – nice guys with great hearts, but admittedly average looks – some even describing themselves as nerds and geeks! While Melana must decide how to proceed on a series of group and one-on-one dates, the guys form bonds and rivalries, experiencing a wide range of emotional ups and downs as the series unfolds.
