reality television series that centered onJerry Hall (supermodel and ex wife toMick Jagger ) searching for akept man . The show premiered on the American cable networkVH1 in lateMay 2005 . When Hall narrowed the list down to twelve, she spirited them off toLondon and eliminated them one by one.The final three consisted of Anwar, Austen and Seth. In the
August 4 finale, Hall was torn between Austen and Seth but ultimately chose Seth as he knew how to have fun and she thought he had matured throughout the process. Seth claims that he got his $100 000 in prize money but after filming stopped he never saw Jerry, thepenthouse apartment , or theLamborghini again.

The show, aired in the
United Kingdom on the channelVH1 UK , caused a small controversy when adverts were banned fromLondon Underground stations. The posters in question depicted Jerry Hall holding a leash, surrounded by several young semi-dressed men, and this violated London Underground's policy of adverts featuring people as sex objects. However, the posters were on display in other locations including mainline railway stations.
