Average Joe Season Commentary

The first week of Average Joe is always the most amusing. In the meet and greet of the first week of The Bachelor we find out which girl is obsessed, and which is the bitch. But the meet and greet on Average Joe always shows us each guy just being so charmingly different, we can't help but laugh.

As with any new season of any reality show, season four of Average Joe promises many exciting changes. The first obvious change is that the twenty-two hopefuls are met with three Average Joes from Season Two - Brian, David and Fredo. They put twenty-two guys through a series of tests including dodgeball and talent to see which eighteen will be moving on. Perhaps it's just me, but I'm struggling to see what dodgeball prowess has to do with being a successful mate. One of the Joes picked even states that Darwin must be rolling over in his grave.

The object of these men's affections will be Anna, a model and entrepreneur from Las Vegas. She hasn't seen any reality TV show since she has been taking night classes the past few years, and has no idea what this show is about or the history of it. She doesn't know that the public has been screaming for a Joe to be picked instead of the studly men that are always cast as spoilers.

The first man off the bus to greet her is Dante, a large man with crazy hair and an array of Elton John glasses. For his talent that he showed Brian, David and Fredo, he did a rhythmic gymnastics routine. He hands Anna a tinfoil flower and after he meets her, he is left crying, saying she is such a beautiful person. She is met after by a Jesus look-alike, a man obsessed with magic, the requisite virgin, an exterminator and a bartender named Igor.

After she meets them she is filmed by hidden cameras on the yacht she will be calling home for the duration of the show. She says she gets the obvious joke here and she admits to feeling very special. She's certainly a lot easier going about it than the previous women in the other seasons, and doesn't seem to take as much convincing as them.
