The competition to steal rocker Bret Michaels' heart was as guilty as a guilty pleasure can get, so--as far as these things go--it was a 'surprise' when he chose blonde and busty Amber Lake over blonde and busty Daisy De la Hoya at the end of Season 2.

Jesse Csincsak, ... It's not that there was anything wrong Jesse Csincsak, per se.
