It was pretty scarring to see my childhood crush, High King Peter, from the Chronicles of Narnia, as a promiscuous party boy. However, even his beautiful face and class couldn't make this show rise above trash. It blended together everything wrong with "reality" television and slapped a British accent and a crown. Further, it threw an American commoner into the mix, who was just bland enough and had just enough American brashness that all female American viewers will see themselves in her-- thus, seeing themselves with a prince and a future crown. It's pandering to the American female's Cinderella dream while mixing in some Jersey Shore nonsense. 3 out of 10. The only reason it wasn't lower is because of the moderately talented acting from Princess Eleanor, the king, and Prince Liam.
