This overview makes me even less inclined to channel surf to it. That aside - I've never been able to accept/understand the premise. It doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand (other than for trying to launch a celebutante career) why a woman would go on a television program and beg someone to like her - let alone pick her for marriage. And from standing in line at the grocery story and seeing the tabloids - these guys are never really 'fairy tale' princes.

I just can't relate to this.
