The men, all of whom have been nominated by their respective girlfriends, initially think they are taking part in a competition for the title of "International Party King" for Her energy drink. However, shortly after arriving they find out the truth: they are actually being entered into a "charm school" which focuses on teaching them how to behave as boyfriends. Each week, one contestant is eliminated and his girlfriend must choose whether or not to stay with him. The last contestant remaining will win a $100,000 prize and the title of "Mr. Awesome."[1] Relationship counselor Trina Dolenz helps the contestants with their relationship problems and decides who is expelled.

The winner for the second season was T Shaw (Terry) and Nicole. T Shaw proposed to Nicole after winning the competition.

The producer and head of security gave him chances to walk out, saying he was now trespassing, but Josh refused so he was forcibly removed by security, when even there, he hesitated. Jordan ran out, yelling at Josh that he had to leave ("You're a tool, you've been expelled, get the fuck out!"). Security led him out the backway. Josh and Jamie wouldn't leave because Josh wanted the car to be brought to him. Jamie decided to stay with Josh after he said "honest" to her, letting her know he was telling the truth.

He had promised to calm down and not lose his temper as much, but proved he was not able to do so. Terry was almost eliminated because during the therapy session, he blamed his problems on Nicole once again and made excuses. Also, during the challenge, he was more focused on winning than helping Nicole. At the end of the challenge, Shealyn had a sharp pain in her chest. While being checked by the paramedics, Tyler stayed with her the whole time. Therefore, he was first to receive his Maturity badge.
