Synopsis: "Cupid" is a cross between "The Bachelor" and "American Idol." Lisa and her two friends, Laura, her hairdresser, and Kim, a work colleague, crisscross the country, auditioning bachelors in four cities - Chicago, New York, Miami and Los Angeles. The three women will whittle down the group in each city to 25 and, from there, down to 10 final guys. In the first two episodes, Lisa will crisscross the country with Kimberly and Laura, auditioning potential suitors. During each audition, the guys will have 30 seconds to impress them. In episode three, the men who made the first cut have one more chance to win over Lisa as she and her friends select the final 10 candidates. Beginning in episode four, Lisa will get to know each of the 10 suitors better through a series of dates. The cameras will follow the suitors on dates with Lisa, and viewers will vote on who stays and who goes. In the end, Lisa will trust the public to choose her husband, and if the marriage lasts for at least one year, the couple receives $1 million. Simon Cowell of American Idol is a co-producer of Cupid. Former MTV host Brian McFayden is the host.
