Plot
Brooke McQueen (Leslie Bibb) and Sam McPherson (Carly Pope), students at Jacqueline Kennedy High School, are opposite poles. Brooke is a popular cheerleader and Sam is an unpopular journalist. Their groups were each forced to socialize when Brooke's father and Sam's mother were engaged and both girls had to share the house.
The first season plot revolves around the school life of girls, groups of competing friends, mutual hostility, and plans to separate their parents. At the end of the season, Sam finds Brooke's mother and encourages her to return to the city, breaking the engagement and separating the new family.
The theme of the show is excerpted from the song "Supermodels", a song by singer-indie singer-songwriter Kendall Payne in 1999 Jordan's Sister .
