The whole premise of the show is to set an extremely attractive woman up with a guy who is considered average. It's a nice thought. It's a chance for the normal guy to go out on dates with a woman who wouldn't even talk to him in the real world. It also attempts to force a beautiful woman, who is probably accustomed to dating and spending time with superficial pretty boys, to realize that average guys can be great too. The only problem is that they completely ruin the show by throwing people into it that destroy the entire concept. Take the first season of Average Joe. Not only are the guys well below being "average" in both looks and personality but then they throw in "hunks" to make it a competition and see if the girl goes after guys based on looks or not. Stupid. If the girl does what she naturally would do and doesn't play it up for the camera, then obviously she is going after the good looking guy. The producers were apparently not thinking when they added the whole "hunk" twist. Because now when the girl makes her final decision, she is either going to look shallow by choosing the hunk or fake by choosing the AJ to make it a "happy ending". Not to mention the final AJ in AJ 1 was a millionaire...how many average people have over a million bucks? Yeah.

The show starts with a nerdy guy who was in AJ1 telling us that AJ2 was taped before AJ1 ever aired so none of the people involved had any clue what was going on. Then we get to meet Larissa. They show some shots of her in bikinis and of Hawaii. She's a former Miss Missouri just like Melana from AJ1. Actually, she beat Melana for the title a year before Melana won it. She was also 4th runner-up in Miss USA 2001. She's 24, from St. Louis, and an artist. She's drop-dead gorgeous. She has a perfect body and a very beautiul face, especially her lovely, piercing eyes. She also seems to have a little bit of an edge to her. Maybe it's a bitchiness or confidence...not sure yet. She's not your typical cookie cutter pretty girl who will give you a fake smile. It's way to early too determine if she is nice, fake, likeable, or a bitch. We'll have to wait and see.

The guys also arrive on the island. There are all types...most of which I wouldn't consider anywhere near average. There are overweight guys, nerdy guys, and all-out weirdos! But the majority of them seem like decent guys. They were very excited about meeting a woman who they hoped they would fall for. David has the nerd look. He wears glasses and has floppy Carrot-Top hair. He claims that he used to be a nerd but isn't anymore. I now found out that he is an actor...wonderful. He is also very hyper! Almost as soon as they arrive, David starts jumping on the furniture like an idiot. Fredo is a built guy with a ponytail. He looks like a biker and is kind of scary. Tim is a soft-spoken redhead who seems shy. Brian W. is from Boston and his favorite saying seems to be "wickid pissa". Sean is an overweight chef who admits to letting himself go and being heavy. Robert says he looks like Adam Sandler. Quite a bunch we have here.

Larissa arrives at her nice house and talks about how she is looking forward to meeting the guys. She says she has had a hard time finding love in her life but believes in love at first sight. Well, apparently she hasn't seen these guys yet then! She says she hopes to find the guy of her dreams. Haha. After that, she gets a helicopter ride and sees the entire island.

The guys then choose their rooms. Nobody wanted to be in the same room as hyper David. Phuc (pronounced "fook") opened beer bottles with his teeth...that is Phucing impressive! David continued to act like a moron by throwing a watermelon in the pool and acting as though it was the greatest and funniest thing he had ever seen. None of the other guys thought it was too special. They think he is annoying already. It's obvious he is looking for attention...desperately. Brian W. from Boston talked about how his accent was attractive to a lot of women. I have no clue where these women are. Tony informed everyone that his odd facial hair was a work of art that started out as a shaving accident. It looks kinda strange to me. The guys drank beer and hung out. David, Chris, and CJ all hung out in what they thought was the hot tub. For some reason, the fact that the water was cold and they were shivering didn't make these guys realize that it wasn't a hot tub. A couple of the other guys informed them that it was a fountain! Poor Larissa has to deal with the horrendous looks and lack of brains...I pity the girl already.

The following night, Larissa is all dolled up and ready to meet the hotties she would be dating. A black limo pulls up and out steps a pretty boy with a smile on his face. Larissa is smiling and eager to talk to this guy. He lets her know that unfortunately, he is not going to be one of the guys that she will date. Awww. But he also tells her that there are 18 great guys on their way. Larissa says she is really nervous to see what is coming. The guys' bus pulls up and the doors open...and out comes....David. Larissa's reaction is priceless. It looks as though she is shocked and in total disbelief. Or maybe she wants to laugh...or cry...or vomit...or just turn tail and run. With his floppy hair, glasses, and dorky image, David introduces himself to a stunned Larissa. He then goes into the house and does some kind of nerd dance of joy. One by one, the guys come off of the bus and meet Larissa with a handshake, a hug, or a kiss on the cheek. They compliment her and then go into the house. She is in a state of shock...and who wouldn't be if their first impression of this experience was seeing David the Dork. Fredo chews on gum as he introduces himself and then, once inside the house, describes Larissa as "one nice piece of ass." Phuc's jaw drops and he says "Wow!" when he first lays eyes on our beauty.

Larissa, practically in tears, goes into a room with the producer's to express herself. And her words pretty much match her initial reaction to the guys. She asks, "What the fu@% did I get myself into?" She says she is having a panic attack. She also tells the producer's that she couldn't picture herself getting intimate with any of these guys. These are not the types of guys she is usually interested in. She reallys wants to cry. She asks the producers if they made these guys over to look extra dorky. LoL. She is informed the way the guys look is how they choose to look in every day life. After some more cussing and debating on whether or not she wants to do this, she decides the guys might be pretty nice and figures she would have fun with it and see what happens. Maybe she realizes that if she walks out, she won't get the exposure she wants...hmmm.

The guys look like a breed of starving dogs ready to pounce as Larissa comes to greet them by the pool. David goes up to her first and talks as the other guys watch. One by one, the rest of the guys make their moves and chat with Larissa. She starts to warm up to them. Robert can't really complete a sentence without getting his tongue tied in knots. Knowing that 4 of them will be going home at the end of the night, all of the guys want to make a good first impression. Each of them would get their chance at some alone time with Larissa as they all get a quick snapshot taken in a photo booth. Brian G. recites a poem he has written for her...it is awful.

After all of them get their chance to talk to Larissa, they gather in the living room for the elimination round. Larissa eliminates CJ first. He thinks it was because he was so shy but I think the real reason was the fact that he had grown a huge cold sore on his lip. Robert is the 2nd to say goodbye. It must have been because he sounded like his mouth was full of sh!t when he tried to talk to her. Chris is the next to go. Larissa explained that his 50's style just wasn't doing it for her and was distracting. She didn't think they would have anything in common. The last one eliminated was Matt. I'm thinking she didn't like the major nerd look. The previews for the rest of the season show us a bunch of "hunks" will be arriving eventually. It also shows that one of the "hunks" apparently thinks he is better than the Joes and admits it to one of them face-to-face.
