Coming this summer to FOX, the leaders in reality television, is the new reality dating series "The Brotha".Andre is a 28-year-old professional athlete who makes $2 million a year, is a multi-millionaire (we checked this time - it's legit!), incredibly handsome, intelligent and well-mannered. He asked us to help him find a woman that could be his wife.
But this is FOX, so you know there are some twists. And we introduced several of them:
* Andre is African-American.
* The women are all white, ultra-conservative, and told us they would never consider dating an African-American. Some of them even told us they hate black people. Isn't that special?
* Andre doesn't know the women don't really think he's their type.
* The women know a lot about Andre - but not his skin color.
This series has six episodes, structured like this:
EPISODE 1 - "They Meet"
Andre meets the 25 women who were recruited to be after his heart. Both sides are shocked at what they see. Will anyone run away screaming? Andre spends a little time with the women and then he has to choose 15 of them to give little toy female dogs to.
EPISODE 2 - "The 'Hood"
Andre takes three groups of women to the ghetto (it doesn't matter where; all ghettos are alike) for some interesting activities. No glamour here, and everyone is a little uncomfortable at the surroundings. Can anyone make the best of them to impress Andre? One lucky woman gets wined & dined by Andre as far away from the ghetto as possible. Who will it be? Only nine women make it to the next round.
EPISODE 3 - "The Feast"
Andre invites two groups of women to his bachelor pad for a feast of spare ribs, chitlins, fried chicken, watermelon, and other foods we know African Americans like. Which women will bust their diets to enjoy the spread? Also, Andre's friends come to town to get to know the women. The woman that is judged most compatible with Andre gets a feast and some one-on-one time. This may be the most dramatic ceremony yet, as only four women get to go to the next round.
EPISODE 4 - "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, 2004 Edition"
Andre meets the parents and friends of his four chosen women. The parents and friends are even more conservative than the women themselves, so sparks are sure to fly. Only three women survive to move on. Who will they be?
EPISODE 5 - "In Heat"
Andre has three overnight visits to get to know the final three women better. As you'd expect, there are three highly bugged fantasy suites involved. But there's a twist - we told each of the women that they would be paid $50,000 if they could get Andre to sleep with them in the fantasy suite. Who takes the offer? And which two make it to the final episode?
EPISODE 6 - "Here Comes the Bride?"
Andre takes the fianl two women to meet his mama. Mama is conservative too in her own way and has strong opinions on the type of girl Andre should marry. Does he listen to her or does he listen to his heart? After the meetings Andre goes to pick out a ring for his chosen one. Will he propose? Will she say yes? Oh, and as one final twist, we offer each of them $100,000 to get married on the spot, with an extra $500,000 bounty if the marriage survives a year. Will they take us up on our offer? You'll have to tune in to find out!
