A lot of people were disappointed by the first "Average Joe" series when "nice guy" Adam Mesh lost out to Jason Peoples in the final episode. So playing on that sympathy, the producers quickly created "Average Joe: Adam Returns" in which Mesh returned to the Palm Springs location, but instead of being one of 16 guys, he found himself surrounded by 19 eligible women to choose from.
Some had been chosen by video submissions, some by audition, others through e-harmony! Mesh took the girls snowboarding, bullfighting, riding, golfing and a number of other activities as he slowly weeded the group down to the final two.
These nineteen young ladies were no "Average Janes" either. They were a fine mixture of attractive and unusual. At one point Joe Fabiani and two other "Joes" from season one showed up with a bus load of bikini babes to add to the date (similar to the way the three hunks were added to the first show to compete with the Joes) but Adam turned them away before the original girls even got there. Although most definitely staged, it was a nicely done moment.
In the end, Adam found himself facing the same kind of dilemma Malena did in the first show: to pick the homebody that seems right for him or the slightly flashier gal. To up the stakes, he even brought both girls home to meet his mom and dad.
However, the girls just didn't have the same colorful personalities as the guys from the original show, though several, notably Christine Morrell, were smokin'.
This was followed by one final "Average Joe" season, "Revenge of the Nerds".
