Summary

In 2013, a British TV producer named Danny Fenton brought 12 American women to England to take part in a new reality dating show. The yanks were led to believe that they had a chance to marry one of the most eligible bachelors in the world: Prince Harry of the British royal family. There was just one problem: the guy they were competing for was actually a Harry look-alike. Even though Fenton spent a princely sum trying to gaslight his way to ratings gold, the show wound up being one of reality tv's most embarrassingly king-sized busts.

The Bachelor franchise's own Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt (Bachelor Happy Hour) join Misha to dethrone one of the most manipulative reality shows of all time.
