Season 1

In the series premiere of For Love or Money we were first introduced to 15 beautiful women during their obligatory limo ride up the panoramic California coastline. The bachelorettes range from virginal ingénues to savvy society girls: one has been engaged five times while another has taken a vow of celibacy. My favorite though, was the 34-year-old who declared she was infinitely wiser than her 20-something counterparts. We'll see. The girls squealed with delight as they rolled up to an expansive mansion and were greeted by a non-descript host (Jordan Murphy). He might as well have shot off a starter gun as the girls dashed frantically to claim rooms and buddy up. Glamour girl Kelly and sassy Cristy C, emerged as the biggest threats as they clamored to claim the best room. They were also stripped to their bikinis and lounging poolside before the other girls had even caught their breath. The anti-Kelly and Cristy were wholesome Paige and down-to-earth Erin who also teamed up as roommates

With the first round of eliminations over, the ten remaining ladies became competitors instead of roomies. Jordan interrupted breakfast with the latest development. The good news: the dating starts! The bad news: only eight women would participate. Huh? As jaws were dropping onto fancy breakfast plates, Jordan explained. The ladies would vote on which two girls would sit home at the mansion building up anger and resentment while the other eight enjoyed fantasy dates with Rob. Wonder if Kelly was rethinking her snotty attitude at this point? If that wasn't bad enough, Jordan made them REVEAL who they each voted for!! Talk about awkward. Everyone seemed to have lost their appetites as they revealed their votes. Stacey voted for Paige. Christina voted for Erin. Alima voted for Kelly. Melissa voted for Kelly. Laura voted for Paige. Erin and Kelly both picked Melissa. Melanie, Lauren and Paige chose Kelly. Some girls chose to explain their votes; others just silently revealed their choice.

Only five ladies remained: Erin, Kelly, Laura, Lauren and Paige. Whether they were in it for love or money, they each had to convince Rob that they were the one for him. Laura got the chance when she awoke first to discover an invitation at the top of the stairs. It offered the first early riser the opportunity to serve Rob breakfast in bed. After showering and borrowing Lauren's dress, Laura started getting nervous about what to make. Lauren, in true Paige style, offered to help! Ladies…what is with the teamwork?! Rob was just rubbing sleep bunnies from his eyes when Laura (accompanied by Lauren) knocked on his door to present breakfast. Lauren quickly went back to the main house while Laura snuggled up to Rob. She claimed money wasn't a factor at this point, and that the game was more about being herself and getting to know Rob. You may remember Laura as the girl from the first episode who claimed that at 34 she knew way more than the other girls. Speaking of the others, the sleeping

Welcome to the ""final four"": Erin, Kelly, Lauren and Paige. The episode started with a little girl talk in the kitchen. Paige asked the others if they were 100% sure they were getting asked back during the last elimination round. Kelly summed things up by saying that they were all 100% sure Laura would be asked back, so now, anything is possible. Jordan arrived and explained what would happen over the next two days. Each girl would have the opportunity for a one-on-one date. The dates ranged from the marvelous to the mundane, with one mystery date as well. The four girls had to decide who would go on what date. Paige said she wanted either bowling or the mystery date. Bowling?! The girls decided to randomly draw dates. Erin drew the ""mystery date."" Paige got a romantic gondola ride, Kelly got bowling and Lauren wound up with horseback riding. Kelly and Lauren were the least thrilled. Lauren had heard that Rob wasn't into horses and Kelly just thought bowling wasn't very romantic. Kelly

Erin, Kelly and Paige had the big old mansion to themselves and anxiously awaited their next dates with Rob. What they didn't know was that Rob now knew their million-dollar secret. Rob was also in for another surprise. Jordan told Rob that if he could convince the winning woman to choose him over the cash, Rob would be rewarded with a million dollars himself. Rob was skeptical, but liked the chance to get both the love and the money. However, if the girl chose the cash, Rob would leave with neither love nor money. Confused? That's okay, things are about to get cleared up. Rob told Jordan that if he was money-oriented he never would've become a public defender. Bottom line, Rob wants to wind up with the girl he thinks is right for him. But on the other hand, maybe he should try for the girl that likes him the best in order to secure the cash. Jordan left Rob to ponder his strategy. It seemed illogical to Rob that a girl who'd only gone out with him four times would pick him over a mill

Finale Now that Rob knew the ladies had a million-dollar check influencing their ""heartfelt"" decisions, he had a new perspective on the game of love. He also had the added incentive that if he got the lady he chose to choose him over the million bucks, Rob would win a million dollars. Paige and Erin soon learned that if Rob picked them, they wouldn't automatically receive their million. Up until this point in the game, they had no idea they'd have to choose between Rob or the money. They thought they'd have their hunk and riches too. Paige just kept saying ""oh my gosh"" over and over. Erin just smiled and said, ""interesting."" Jordan (he's the host in case you forgot), kept reminding them that it was one or the other. If they chose the money, they'd never see Rob again. If they chose Rob, they could kiss their money goodbye. Once Jordan left, Erin and Paige tried to weasel out of each other what they would pick. Erin thought Paige would always pick Rob, while Paige seemed convinced that
