Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal

Date My Ex: Jo & Slade

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Jo De La Rosa is looking for love with the help of her super-cheesy ex-fiancé, Slade Smiley. Round 1 finds four meatheads (five, if Slade counts...and he should) fighting for Jo's attention. This romantic battle would be just another unremarkable dating show if not for Slade's unnervingly entertaining presence; he comes off as a filthy combo of daddy and ex-lover. C+Tanner Stransky
