Season 1
Since 1986 when MTV introduced the world to the blue-eyed lead singer of Poison, women around the world have worshiped Bret Michaels as a veritable Rock God.
Never out of the spotlight, Bret's career is still rocking with Poison and as a successful solo artist and the women are still lining up in hopes of a lying down with the sexy star.
But the demands of life-on-the-road for the ultimate rocker have taken a toll...on his love life.
Twenty-five lucky ladies will get their chance for an All-Access pass to Bret Michaels' heart and to share in all his superstar lifestyle.
Bret will invite 25 handpicked beautiful women to move into his rock and roll palace in the Hollywood Hills and compete for his heart. They must win over his mind and his body by proving their love for Bret, their passion for rock and their potential to be the perfect "Rock Star Girlfriend."
Each week, Bret will design challenges to test the girls' ability to adapt to the true rock 'n roll life. Not always red carpets and award shows, who will best adapt to life in a cramped, grungy tour bus with Bret and his roadie buddies?
Who can handle the competition from outrageous, and sometimes hotter groupies? Who can keep her cool around his famous friends? Who can best contribute to his music? Who's not afraid to get down and dirty with him in one of his extreme sports competitions.
And perhaps most vital - who will always look smokin' hot doing it?
The girls who best meet Bret's needs shall be rewarded with exclusive gifts, dates and travels worthy of a music superstar.
Over several weeks, Bret will offer the women who rock his world VIP passes allowing them to remain in his home - and his heart. The women who don't will be sent packing.
Competition will be ferocious - for in the end only one lady will walk away a true Rock Star Girlfriend.
