Average Joe (2003– )
6/10
Below Average Joe
13 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
The fourth and currently last in the "Average Joe" series restarts the franchise by hooking up a lovely Polish girl with 18 Average (and some below average) Joes in Los Angeles. Ana lives on a yacht in the harbor while the Joes get various opportunities to date her. As the 4th in the series the guys now know somewhere along the way a group of hunks are going to show up and steal the girl away...they just don't know when.

There are seven hunky model guys this time, racing to Ana in red convertibles. These guys are prompted to be really obnoxious and loud in ways that seem unreal, even for a reality show. In another new twist, with every cut, one of the guys sent home is given a professional makeover and brought back to the show in a later episode.

When it gets down to the final six guys, the show moves to Tahiti where the romance continues and an "Average Joe" tries to finally prevail in one of these shows.

The guys in this are more colorful than the girls in season three: Adam Returns, but also there's a lot of them that are just too camera aware and acting rather than being themselves: Carson, Michael and the obnoxious Dante. And they are given dumb, dangerous dates like roller derby where its amazing nobody gets seriously hurt. NBC agreed and kept this on the shelf for a year. Then they aired it in the dead of summer when nobody watched. So maybe they should call this one "Below Average Joe".
