The Dating Lineup

• Michael the marketing guy is tired of being stereotyped because of his looks.

• Christian the radio host knows that his voice is his secret weapon.

• Joshua the paralegal wants to stop dating "girls" and start dating "women."

• Becky the determined entrepreneur is looking for someone with passion and desire.

• Karolina the salsa dancer has never has the patience to let a guy grow on her, like fungus.

• Summer the supermodel doesn't want to be judged on her looks, so she says she's a DJ.

Group Date Highlights/Lowlights

• Christian wants to know which lady is the prude. Karolina thinks it's because he's looking to make out. She does like his voice though.

• Karolina takes a not-so-subtle dig at Michael by saying she could listen to him talk about his job for minutes. Becky the entrepreneur, however, can relate to his marketing stories.

The One-On-One Dates

• Christian wows Karolina with his confident radio voice then licks her hand while palm reading. This leads to some touchy-feely time. Sure hope that's just a wallet in his pocket.

• Michael and Becky sip champagne, hold hands and talk about having a positive attitude.

• Summer brings Michael a beer, as she's a girl who likes to kick back and watch football.

Ever see the movie Mannequin?

• The daters must dress a mannequin the way they would want their ideal man or woman to dress.• Karolina's temptress display temps Joshua into asking her out and talks "sweet, dirty nothings to her." Those are Karolina's words, not ours.

The Compatibility Dates (matches based on pre-interviews and expert analysis)

• With a 90% compatibility score, Christian and Karolina share lots of laughs, but she hopes he's deeper, too.

• With an 87% compatibility score, Michael and Summer talk about starting a family. She's ready now; he's not quite there yet. Not a deal-breaker for her, but not the best news either.

• With an 81% compatibility score, Joshua and Becky go one a date where she brings up his frisky, sexually-charged date with Karolina. Now she's going to focus solely on Michael.

The "Let's Get To Know Each Other Even Better" Final Dates

• Karolina and Christian lay off the jokes long enough to open up to each other. The serious chat end with a nice little kiss.

• Becky and Michael chat and kiss. That doesn't sit well with Summer, who initially didn't want to use her looks to get the guy. All that's changed as she says to Michael, "What if the person you don't pick is smokin' hot?" Subtle, Summer. Real subtle.

• Later, the daters describe the people they're interested in to a sketch artist. Becky's description of Michael is dead on. Sadly, no one opts to make a sketch of Josh or Summer.

Reveal Day, Part One

• Josh knows that since no one made a sketch of him, no one is interested. He bows out gracefully.

• Karolina and Christian want see each other in the light. She thinks he's adorable, but he's worried that she won't find him attractive. He may try to save face and skip the balcony scene.

• After the reveal, Michael believes Becky is cute, but knows Summer is hot. Becky thinks Michael is both cute and hot. Summer goes the cute but young route in her description of Michael.

Reveal Day, Part Two

• Karolina heads out to the balcony. She likes Christian's personality and the fact that he doesn't look like Shrek. Hey, if this guy were an ogre, he'd being hanging out in a swamp instead of stepping out onto that balcony to hug and kiss Karolina. Score!

• Summer realizes she has no attraction to Michael, so she packs up and heads home. Michael doesn't know that Summer has left the building. He can go out onto the balcony where Becky is waiting for him or head over to an empty piano room where Summer would have been.

• Thankfully, Michael goes with his gut, steps onto the balcony and into Becky's arms. This just proves that love can bloom in any season, except for maybe Summer.
