Otto Normalverbraucher
The first two "Average Joe" series were intended to be somewhat of a mockery of traditional set-up shows such as "The Bachelor" and "Joe Millionaire". The show was marketed to have an implied moral subtext, namely that beauty was only skin deep, and that personality could ultimately triumph over looks. However, the first two seasons ended in a way that seemed to prove the opposite. In "Average Joe", Melana Scantlin chose Jason Peoples, one of the attractive suitors, over Adam Mesh, the last remaining Average Joe.
