Season 2:
Eleven boys compete for the affections of single girl Cara. But Jameela reveals to Cara that, while some of the boys are straight, others are playing it straight and competing for a cash prize...
The boys are given a tour of a Catalan sausage museum and then take part in a cookery contest to secure a date with Cara while the losers face a good old pelting with rotten tomatoes.
The remaining boys face three challenges - laughing Cara into bed, lingerie removal and a kissing challenge - before acting as models as Cara directs a cover shoot for a gay magazine.
The action moves to the gay mecca of Sitges where the locals try to help Cara. Jameela delivers a surprise of two new beefy boys who join the show and then there's a fish-gutting task.
After a trip to the Dali Museum the boys must draw two nude life models, the painter of the best picture wins a date with Cara. And Jameela announces a suprise elimination.
This week is all about camping it up in the Pyrenees as the guys are put through their paces by extreme orienteering, serenading Cara around the campfire, and abseiling down a cliff.
The theme of the semi-final is the 'modern man'. The boys are under pressure to be strong but sensitive and endure a series of challenges before a surprise double elimination.
Jameela Jamil presents a tale of love and deceit in the Spanish sun. One beautiful girl must pick her dream partner from eleven boys. If she gets it right they both walk away with £25k each.
