Who is ready for Joe Millionare?

[Miss Jasmine]

Another show to make women look stupid.

Of course, women who may be money grubbing witches bring it on themselves.

I am hoping that we will all be surprised at the end. Of course I am not holding my breath.

Don't know if I will be watching it or not. Personally I am waiting for the second season of American Idol.

What a hoot! Its so obvious that most of them are gold diggers but a few of them are geniune.

I can't wait till next week when they have to clean out the stalls.

The butler is so funny........

 

[becka]

What a train wreck....but you know for some reason I could not stop watching.

I guess I will have to tune in next week just to see the cat fighting.

I feel so ashamed of myself.....

 

[Princess Michelle]

Tamie, that's cool that you went to school with Melissa, she is my favorite so far. She seemed to be extremely nice and genuine.

 

[cherylp3]

I felt so bad for Zora who got the dress that didn't fit.

And what was up with the other girl taking 2 dresses.

I'm glad the girl with the sunglasses didn't get picked.

Q: Do they get to keep the pearls??

Anyone else not like Heidi (the girl with the 2 dresses)? She reminded me of Jerry from Survivor.
SplshMtn99- I think she is the one that looked at his hands. I thought of your post when I saw her do that.

Yes, the butler is funny.

I thought the part about the horse was funny.

I was glad that Zora got picked. If I was her and didn't get a dress, I would have gone to the ball in something else and explained to him why I did not have a dress.

Is Melissa the one that had the smile that he really liked? I think she was geniune.

Not only will it appeal to the reality show fans but to the ones who HATE THEM!!

That is what my DH said. He got a kick out of the show.

Looks like we will be watching this one. Anyone know how long it will last since they are eliminating 7 more next week?
Update: I found the answer on the Fox website. There will be 7 shows.

LOL I thought the same thing!! I already don't like Heidi and my favorite is Zora! I think she is so pretty!! Heidi is a total gold digger...did you see her look at his hands...checking them out to see how rough they were..

I already like this show alot and look forward to the next one!!

 

[Cindy B]

Yes, they got me as well.. I hate reality shows, but DH wanted to tune in , so we watched it as well...


I like Melissa, (tamie, your high school classmate, wow! how cool!), and Zorah.

Heidi needs to go ASAP. I'm surprised he even picked her in the first place.


I liked Zorah atitude... going up to the butler and saying hey, I'll wear your suit. Zorah is not a teeny little size 4 as well... larger on top/bottom... and tall as well.

I'm going to love to see how Heidi does cleaning horse stables next week... LOL! (I used to clean horse stables.. not a fun/glamourous job in the LEAST!) I bet Zorah will manage, same with Melissa, and maybe Mojo... but others well... don't think so.

 

[scarlett873]

ack!!! train wreck!! my eyes!!!

but i can't stop watching!! we normally don't watch those "bachelor" type shows, but this one looked like it would be worth it!

most of the girls come off as gold diggers. there are a few who seem genuine, but that was only the first night. i HATE heidi. can't stand her. i liked zora and michelle. (michelle is my hubby's favorite) and when that girl with the sunglasses walked in to meet him, i thought "what in the h***?" i'm glad she didn't get picked. as i told my co workers this morning...the claws are out. we'll be watching the rest of the season...

Add me to the list of people who can't stand Heidi. I was shocked he picked her to stay, YUCK! She has got to go. I agree that Melissa seemed very nice and well grounded. I was glad Zora got to stay, the Cinderella analogy seemed to fit. I cannot believe I actually watched this show LOL.

[tkyes]

It was pretty interesting.

I don't really know Melissa (she was 2 years younger than us) but she came across really well. I did notice that next week she is complaining about being cold (hello, she's from Minnesota, stop whining )

I didn't like the girl with 2 dresses either. The girl who wore the pink dress and asked his middle name kind of bugged me too. She seemed like a major gold digger!

Anyone else think that "Joe" is a bit of a dork? One of the girls said he reminded her of Gaston, and he kind of does! I loved his reaction to the question of his middle name


Tamie

 

[Jeafl]

I'm not sure that I even really like Evan. After watching Aaron on The Bachelor, it's kind of hard to get excited about Evan. He definitely pales by comparison in my opinion. Even the girls on this show don't look to be as nice as on The Bachelor.

I agree with everyone else. Heidi HAS to go. What a witch! The cleaning of the stables looks like it will be interesting though.

I think he's "ick" looking and not particularly bright. Most of the girls are pretty yucky too, altho some seem nice and genuine.

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

I love this show...it shows us just how shallow most of us are.

And I can't believe how some of us thought that Heidi was a ringer for Jerri on Survivor (great minds think alike?).

Melissa, the girl who tykes went to HS with, at first reminded me of that girl who was on the Real World Seattle (she had Lyme Disease and left before the show was over). At first I thought it was her!

I wish they had more diversity though. Yes they have different races, but pretty much everyone was pretty or drop dead gorgeous. I mean if Zora is the "ugly duckling" because she is taller and a little heavier...she's no ugly duckling (I think she should have gone to the ball in an every day outfit and just said that she wasn't a perfect 2, 4, 6 whatever). I'd like to see someone NOT so cute, someone a little heavy...REAL people. Would Evan chose them?

 

[Suzy Mouse]

I only watched a few minutes of it. I didn't find him to be all that attractive.
How could a girl start a relationship with a man based all on a lie? And how can a man start a relationship with a woman because she replied to a tv show to set her up with a millionaire?

I'm just thankful that I was able to fall in love with my husband based on his honesty and his total attention on me/us. And to say this happened regardless of the fact that he didn't have millions (and still doesn't) makes me proud too!

 

[Cindy B]

Suzy-- you made some very valid points.

I was talking to DH last night... and this is what we came up with.

First off, say once he picks the girl, and then what.. does he tell her? What will there reaction be? Will they be upset that he lied? or will they be.. thats ok, I like you for who you are...


Frankly, my husband, has had problem with gold digger girlfriends in the past.... his family (note I said family) not himself, would be I guess what you would consider well off. He took a long time telling me where he lived.. (his family lives in a well to do neighborhood, in very big, nice house). He was younger than, and not out on his own...

Imagine the shock I had when I drove into his neighborhood for the first time... I definetely wasn't in my rural town anymore!


By no means was he a $50 million dollar person, but it was still shocking, and I never knew anything about it! He was real, and grounded.

We have definetely had our "for richer, for poorer" moments in our marriage. (More on the poorer than richer!)


Anyway, on to the show... I do feel the diversity was represented. It was all types of beauty... in many different ways. I appreciated Evans comment on how his dad said to him.. how he likes to see girls without makeup... to see who they are.

Yes, all different races were represented.. and that was great to see. How many TV shows actually represent more than one race at a time? or maybe a "token" person of particular race... that is one thing that bugs me so much with TV... and that token person is jsut characterized so badly..

And actually in TV/entertainment business' eyes, there were some "bigger" girls. You had Heidi the stick (perfect size four if I have ever seen one!), and Zora who well wasn't. My body type is more like Zora, so to me thats an average / normal size versus the skinny sticks that you see in most prime time shows. Unfortunately, I would be considered normal for regular world, but too big/fat for TV. (Which is good, because I'm not on TV! I like who I am!)

 

[Robinrs]

Yikes, people, it's a TV show!

If a camera followed around the average "joe"'s relationship, what kind of ratings would it get??? Uh, NONE?

I am so in awe of how these women can put themselves in this position but I'm also shocked at how beauty contests are still happening in 2003. To each his own, I guess.

I thought the show was done well, and it was good to see ol' Alex McLeod from the first year of Trading Spaces, also! It was done almost identically to the Bachelor, what a BITE, at the end especially, with that "suspicion" and close ups on the angst filled women... I would never put myself in such a position but they did so deal with it!

I really thought the women were average at best and that the guy didn't pick one woman as good looking as he was. I thought he was sort of "dorky" but I've always associated "dorkiness" with humility and have always found that attractive. I just can't imagine how he'll be able to go on with that lie if he's, as he calls it, a "bad liar". He said he hated all the questions, but hey, even I would ask questions to a guy who just inherited 50 million dollars! And I really don't care about it!

I also liked Melissa and Zora, both are geniune and humble. Heidi and "Mojo" got on my nerves, and the girl with the glasses.... .... I guess she found out that THAT didn't fly!

Oh, well, another train wreck that we can't turn away from and another thread with people admitting only to seeing a bit of it because they can't stand this kind of stuff. Frankly, I watch it because I find this aspect of human relationships highly interesting, as long as I'm not in it!

 

[DVCajun]

I loved the show! This is the first tv show I have been interested in in a long long time.

I for one thought Evan looked great. He reminded me of Heathcliff. Tall, dark and handsome. Put a tall, fit guy in a tux and wow!

Heidi was a total *****. I comforted myself by thinking that now the whole world knows she's a *****. Girls like that usually hide it well, especially in front of guys. Posturing for Evan, oh my God. Did you notice her whispering to him as he put on her necklace? Please!

I liked Melissa-- she was probably my favorite, then Zora. I thought Zora handled the dress thing very gracefully. She seemed very sweet. In contrast to Heidi to snatched two dresses right away and then said it wasn't her fault if the girls in the back of the line weren't "ambitious enough."

I thought about the ending and I think that if the girl he chooses is truly ready to dump him because he decieved her, then she needs to not accept any of the jewelry or anything either. If she does she will be labled a gold digger regardless of whether she really is. I think she can come off smelling like a rose if she says, "Evan, you don't lie to someone and humiliate them on national tv if you love them. Go to hell and take this jewelry with you."

I can't wait for Monday!

 

[Gail T AGAIN]

I feel asleep right after he couldn't get back on the horse. hahahhahahahhahahha next week is it going to be on again, i think this time I will sit up instead of watching it in bed, guess I was tired.

 

[faith]

How will this guy make it through 7 episodes? He seems so sweet, humble and a nervous wreck. I think some of the girls are already wondering what's going on with him.
