In the casting process for this series, VH1 asks for single men with a net worth of over $1,000,000.[3]

In February 2009, Hauserman stated in an interview that filming of Megan Wants a Millionaire had begun.[4] Hauserman stated in the interview that she is looking for "a mature guy that can handle me and doesn't cry" and stated "He doesn't have to be rich; he has to be stable." Hauserman said she is taking the show seriously, it will be "very real".[4] Megan's best friends, Brandi Cunningham from Vh1 shows and Cecille Gahr (from Beauty and the Geek) appear on the show and try to help Megan with her decisions.

The show premiered on Sunday, August 2, 2009.[1][5]

Breaking The Bank

First aired August 2, 2009

First Megan is introduced as the starlet of the show, and then Megan's concierge Niles, who is also the narrator of the show, is introduced. After meeting her 17 millionaires, Megan brings in her two best friends Brandi Cunningham and Cecille Gahr, who will be helping her decide who should stay or leave. She presents each of the men with a personal gift that goes along with their given nicknames as shown below.

After Megan handed out her presents to her millionaires, she announces that there will be a mixer for her and her best friends to get to know the millionaires better and ultimately determine which three men would be going home that night. First, Megan and Audi spend time together and he admits that his "hump game" causes his past girlfriends to go crazy, which disturbs Megan. Joe and David show up next to sit with Megan and chat. David tells Megan that he loves shopping for hours at a time and would love to go shopping with her. Francisco and Punisher show Megan their bodies saying they like to be in shape, which impresses Megan because she says she likes strong guys; though Megan notices Punisher's strange birthmark on his stomach. Corey has a one-on-one with Megan where he tells her he wants to find his queen and spend the rest of his life with a beautiful woman. Outside, Brandi and Cecille give Al some motivation to be less awkward and to go find Megan and show her what he is all about. He offers to use his gift of massage oil to give Megan a foot massage and she accepts. During the massage he tries to be funny and have her touch his jaw saying he has a "dog jaw". He whips his head and barks and pretends to bite Megan's finger which surprised Megan and caused her to spill her wine all over herself. Megan pushes Al off of her and storms away in tears to her room upstairs. Brandi and Cecille go upstairs to talk to Megan, clean her up, and calm her down.

Megan returns to the party and Al apologizes for his childish actions. Al offers to buy her a new dress for ruining the one she is wearing at the mixer. Shaun comes in and takes Megan inside for a private talk on the sofa. She tells him she likes his look and is physically attracted to him. Donald steps in and asks Megan to come to the fire pit with him for a one-on-one. Megan agrees because he is a movie director and wants to know if he could put her in movies. By Megan's request, Donald sets up an impromptu skit between Megan and James. James and Megan then kiss by the fire pit which ruins Donald's plan, but Megan admits that the kiss is terrible. Sex Toy Dave (who previously has appeared on The Millionaire Matchmaker) and James talk by the fire pit. Brandi and Cecille pull James aside to find out his financial situation because he currently lives at home and expects to soon inherit his grandfather's fortune. TJ shares a one-on-one with Megan and they talk about traveling and where she would enjoy being most. Finally, Megan sits with Ryan who is still a Canadian citizen. He tells her that he can only work in the United States if he gets married, but if they did get married, she wouldn't have to sign a pre-nup. Audi and some of the other guys convince Garth to smash Joe's piggy bank, and he proceeds to do just that. Joe gets upset and says he is going to tell Megan about the incident and then insults Garth.

Megan gathers with Brandi and Cecille in her room to discuss the 17 millionaires and who they think should go home that night. Despite what her friends had to say, Megan was still torn as to which three men to eliminate. At elimination, Megan reveals that each man who will stay will receive a special credit card as her token of love. In order for the men to win her heart, they must "keep their account in good standing". Ryan is the first to receive his credit card. Corey is the second to receive his card. Next is Francisco, The Punisher, TJ, Sex Toy Dave, Alex, and David are all called. When Joe is brought down to receive his credit card, Megan asks about his missing piggy bank. Joe reveals that Garth broke it, and Megan scolds him for being a "bad boy". Garth then receives his credit card. Megan then calls down Audi and James. She tells them their luck has run out and they are eliminated. Next, Megan eliminates Donald because she is so unattracted to him, but asks if he could still put her in a movie. Al receives the last credit card, but Megan jokingly warns him to never bark at her again.

  • Bottom 5: Al, Audi, Donald, Garth, James
  • Eliminated: Audi, Donald, James
  • Elimination Notes:
    • Audi was eliminated because although Megan said she was physically attracted to him, Megan felt like she had absolutely nothing in common with him.
    • Donald was eliminated because Megan said he was so physically unattractive and that he would be more of a fan than a boyfriend.
    • James was eliminated because he was not a millionaire yet; Megan explains that there's nothing wrong with loving someone who's not rich, but since she was given the choice she said she'd rather love someone that is rich.

Will You Be My Valentine?

To be aired August 9, 2009

This episode starts with the remaining fourteen millionaires in the house working in the business center, an area Megan had set for the men so they could continue to make their millions while in the house. Niles leads the men to their first challenge. Megan explains that Valentine's Day is her favorite holiday, and that they are going to have to make or buy presents for Megan on Valentine's Day for the first challenge. Megan explains that the gifts need to be thoughtful too, because everyone can buy her expensive gifts. They will have ninety minutes and can use any of the supplies set up for them, or any gifts they want to buy or have with them. The three men that impress her the most will be going on a group date the next day. Francisco decides he will cook a meal for Megan saying it will be from the heart. Al, knowing he needs to redeem himself after the night before, begins to write a check for Megan. Mike decides to use his contacts to buy Megan a dress from Lloyd Klein, a fashion designer. The show hints that he is in the Italian Mafia because he is Italian and said in the first episode that he does "private deals". Meanwhile, Shaun knows that Megan likes sushi and wants Megan to eat sushi off of him naked. T.J. is bewildered by Shaun's idea, saying he's going to get himself eliminated. Also, Garth works on a song entitled "Sex Mode" that he's been making for the last two years for Megan, and Punisher wonders why Garth thinks he can turn Megan on. The rest of the men also ready themselves for the challenge.

Niles tells the men that their time is up, and that the presentations are about to begin. Megan's best friends, Brandi and Cecille, join Megan once again to view the presents and help Megan makes her decisions. Megan calls up Francisco first, who is wearing the apron Megan gave him and red boxer-briefs. Francisco feeds Megan his dish, and Megan likes it a lot saying it's delicious. Next is Al, who gives Megan a card with a check for $8000 inside. The check is made out for Javay Salon in Orlando, Florida, and Brandi C. exclaims "I actually had my boobs done at that place!" Alex bought Megan red lingerie, but Megan doesn't like the bottoms that he bought because their over-sized and she jokingly says that their "granny panties". Ryan decides to appeal to Megan's "senses" which are actually her brain and mouth, and Megan tells him those aren't senses. Joe gives Megan a bikini and on the bottoms he wrote "Trophy Wife" with crayon, which doesn't impress Megan. Matt gives her cupcakes, and Corey gave her a list of things "on his heart"; neither one impresses her. Next is Punisher, who says his gift is in the back, and Megan says it must be huge and jokes that she likes "big packages". Punisher begins to put on one of his stripping outfits.[10]

  • Challenge: Valentine's Day Presents
  • Challenge Winners: Al, Shaun, and Mike
  • Bottom 3: Garth, Joe, and Shaun
  • Eliminated: Garth and Shaun
  • Elimination Notes:
    • Megan knew she was going to eliminate Garth when he turned in his card the night before, but decided to eliminate him on her terms instead of him walking out.
    • Shaun wouldn't stand up for himself when Al paid for everything when Shaun's card was declined and gave all the presents to Megan without inclulding him, even when they both decided to share the gifts.
