The Dating Lineup

• Billy, the Chippendales dancer, looks to take his looks out of the equation.

• Jonny, is a Boston-based straight-shooter who wants a girl who won't play games.

• Brian, the motivational speaker, is motivated to get married, as he's still a virgin.

• Lisa, the pretty postal carrier, wants a letter-perfect guy not hung up on looks.

• Nikki, the men's hair stylist, hopes to comb through competition to find a connection.

• Chelsea, the wedding planner, is more than ready to plan her own wedding day.

Group Date Highlights/Lowlights

• Lisa, the mail carrier, also goes to school for nutrition and food science, so that sparks some interest from Billy, the dancer, who also owns a vitamin store. But Billy's a little nervous about Chelsea because he thinks she's here looking for a husband.

• Jonny's upset when the ladies can't distinguish his thick Boston accent. He's insulted when Nikki jokes that he's from Canada. Whatever, Ay! But Jonny likes Lisa because he believes she's Latin.

The Car Facts - The daters are invited to explore each other's automobiles.

• Brian has the Bible on CD and some shotgun shells inside. Jonny has some badda-bing bling that looks like totally '80's jewelry to Nikki. Billy's car is super clean with Listerine, so the ladies help themselves to his breath strips.

• Chelsea's car is also squeaky clean and equipped with breath-freshening gum. Lisa likes gangsta rap on the radio and to read through the vitamin books in her trunk. Nikki's car has an assortment of items. It's like a junk drawer on wheels.

The One-On-One Dates (based on the car experiment)

• Though Chelsea is a Christian, she doesn't feel a romantic spark with Brian.

• Jonny makes a date with "Methinks she's Latin Lisa". He's a little touchy-feely on the date which is a total turnoff.

• The always-organized Billy makes a date with the somewhat messy Nikki, but is turned off when she disses his hair. A date with Chelsea is also less-than-stellar. Billy's third date is with Lisa and it's the best of the bunch.

Looking for Loofah – The daters are allowed to rummage through each other's toiletries.

• Nikki likes that Jonny squeezes his toothpaste from the bottom. Always a good thing. The other ladies wonder who could get a taste of Brian's cherry Chapstick later.

• Surprise, surprise. Jonny and Nikki totally hit it off after making a date based on toiletries. She feels bad that she judged him but does feel good about their kiss in the dark.

• Lisa says she's a pretty sexual person during her date with Brian, who spills that he's a virgin.

• Chelsea opens up to Billy during a date and he thinks it's awesome. This prompts him to blow off Lisa almost immediately on their date.

Reveal Day, Part One

• Nikki thinks Jonny is really cute and he thinks she looks really good, too. However, Nikki's body is not the kind of body type Jonny typically dates.

• Lisa thinks Brian is smokin' hot and he says this gorgeous girl is unlike any mail carrier he's ever known. But will their sexual histories play a part in their decisions to meet?

• Chelsea thinks Brian is perfect and he's also excited by the reveal. But Brian says she doesn't look like the physically-toned ladies he typically dates.

Reveal Day, Part Two

• Nikki heads out the balcony to wait for Jonny, who walks through the door and into her arms. She's thrilled to be leaving the house with such a super guy.

• Lisa steps out on the balcony to wait for Brian. It's gonna be a long wait, as she sees Brian walk out the front door and out of her life.

• Chelsea waits on the balcony for Brian. She's hoping her heart won't be broken by this "perfect" guy. Well, her heart is "perfectly" safe because Brian steps out to give her a big bear hug to compliment her even bigger smile.
