However, when the "above average" Joes began to get more time with Melana, it was sort of like watching the happy, cute seals swimming among the killer whales. One by one they were taken down and, as the "models" were introduced to the show, it was intriguing to see the change in reaction Melana had to these new men. Where she'd seemed entertained by the Joes, the models elicited a more pointed response in her - lust. Where her encounters with the Joes had seemed like the teeth on two slightly differently spaced gears coming together, her encounters with Jason made obvious that they meshed immediately. That she eliminated the model she barely spoke to, Michael and offed the offensive Zach might have come as a slight surprise given that who remained besides the obvious Jason was Adam, a goofy, open "nice" guy who somehow managed to make it this far without anyone really paying a whole lot of attention to him. I'd love to hope for the best for him, but I think it's pretty obvious that having him competing for Melana in the final episode next week is more for her convenience than any real feelings for him. It's far easier for her to excuse him without guilt. I guess we'll see next week, after which I'll still be saying, "I can't believe I watched this crap!"
(You won't believe this crap, either.)

I know, Mark. I hang my head in shame at admitting this embarassing fact about myself in a public forum such as this. I deserve a public humiliation, however. Bring it on, people, bring it on.

I know 5 years have passed since last comment on this subject, and it's probably silly replying to it, but. The program just ran in Denmark (where I live), and I must say, this article is spot on. They probably thought they could do a groundbreaking show, where an average joe ends up with a beautiful girl. Being a reality show, and not a movie, appearance is the foremost important factor, and it will overshadow the effects of any relation between Melena and the average Joes, established from their short conversations. But these average Joes have double-standards, and must learn that the world isn't fair. How can they expect a beautiful girl to pick them, when they don't favor average looking girls themselves? So in some way, one could call Melena's choices objective (and not based on who has 'inner beauty', as she claims they are), but the average Joes' choice of 'winning her' is no less so. I'm an average Joe myself, but I know that longing for very beautiful girls all my life will make me end up alone. I'm not proud of having watched this show either, but it just intrigued me.
