apparently nbc is planning to film 'average joe 2' for this one has a moderate success, unlike joe millionaire 2.

i personaly like melena - she seems real, funny and sincere, much better(in the show) than "lisa from cupid" and even "haley(?) from mr. personality".

Realbiz, they already taped AJ2. They followed the strategy for this that they did for For Love or Money over the summer....tape two editions very close to each other, so the second round's people don't know about any of the twists of the first edition.

AVERAGE JOE: HAWAII’ SIMMERS WITH TROPICAL TWISTS AND TURNS FOR
NEW CROP OF AVERAGE JOES, PREMIERING JANUARY 5 ON NBC


New Beauty Travels to Island Paradise to Meet Her Prince
Charming, But Instead Finds “Average Joes”

BURBANK - November 26, 2003 - Hot on the heels of this Fall’s hit
“Average Joe,” NBC premieres the second installment of the series,
“Average Joe: Hawaii,” on Monday, January 5 (10-11 p.m. ET).

This new series was taped before the first series ever aired, thus
protecting the twist.

“As soon as we saw the first tapes of the original ‘Average Joe,’
we knew there was rich potential for a second helping of this
twisted take on the dating show. The fact that we taped both
series before either hit the air allows for the surprise twists to
hit the new participants with the same impact they had on the
original show,” said Zucker.

In this new series, the crown of “Average Joe’s” former beauty
queen and NFL cheerleader Melana Scantlin is passed on to another
former Miss USA contestant and model, who is swept away to a
secluded island paradise with the promise of romance to be found
among a group of 18 Prince Charmings. With no way of knowing the
secret twist to “Average Joe” in advance, our new beauty must
decide how to proceed when she meets the unexpected group of guys
with big personalities, but admittedly average looks, ranging from
a 5-foot-3 engineer to 340 pound sewage contractor.

While finding themselves on what one dismayed ‘Average Joe’
describes as “nerd island,” the guys happily greet their beauty
unaware that in a few short weeks a group of eight traditional
dating-show-studs will join the competition to vie for her
affection. As the series proceeds, new takes on the twists of
“Average Joe” are in store for the audience along with brand new
dramatic surprises; and tensions between the two groups of men
reach new levels in several emotionally charged ‘joe’ vs. ‘jock’
showdowns.

“Average Joe: Hawaii” is a production of NBC Studios and Krasnow
Productions. Stuart Krasnow (“Dog Eat Dog,” “Weakest Link”) and
Andrew Glassman (“Average Joe”) are executive producers, Jason
Raff is supervising producer.

I wish they would have done the whole fat suit trick earlier on. I want to see how many of these guys ,who are sick of being judged for their looks, would have handled the situation. They all talked about how hot she was in the beginnig instead of her wit or intellect. Its such a double standard in this country. Men are allowed to be outwardly sub par but women are always truly labeled for their weight or imperfections.

Exactly Fab. It's like that really huge guy who made the really disgusting remarks about "getting some" from Melena. Gee, could it be he ACTS disgusting and it's not just that he is big?

I caught an quick preview for the show and it shows Adam saying something to the effect of " What a pig!" about Melena in the fat suit. It appears none of them can see past life not being fair to them, but forget a woman who isn't a "beauty" to them!

I don't think I'll do another POLL. It was too hard to come up with questions for this one and there wasn't enough interest.

Pbnj, I'm not cancelling this one. I was just saying I wasn't going to start a POLL for the next one, which starts 1/5/04. Sorry for the confusion. This POLL will finish!!

Just saw Melana on Regis & Kelly. At the end of the segment, they were trying to find out who she picked. Kelly said, "I bet she picked whoever treated her the nicest when she was wearing the fat suit." Melana said, "I did! I did!"

Sooooo.... maybe we'll get a hint tonight.

oh wow, that's a BIG hint! that's who she picked at the end? interesting....well, puttergirl, thanks for keeping this one going tho with my questionable pick, I'm wondering how long I'll stay away from that bottom position LOL I just wanted to pick one that no one else did or one other did to see if that pays off.....we'll see.

Looking forward to the reactions of the avg joe's to the fat suit...if there's a double standard there...do they expect to be accepted but have a hard time looking beyond the physical when it comes to a woman?

Oh,well,that's a definite big hint! How many episodes are left of this show,anyhoo?

According to the official website, there are only 2 episodes left- tonight's and one next week.

Pbnj- here's a good question for the POLL- will we ever see Kathy Griffin again- lol????? Oh, and I'll do a POLL for the next one if people show interest in it, but I expected more for this one and didn't get it. But who knows, maybe alot of people will want to do the next one. If I do it, you'll have to come up with the bonus questions- lol!

As the show went off they mentioned a secret that Adam was keeping being revealed. And then it showed a magazine cover framed on his wall. It was just a quick shot but I think it was the Fortune 500 mag. Could he be rich?

I saw that too Jami. I went on the NBC wensite, and he is a partner in a trading company. Maybe he is loaded. Which would make me respect him more that he didn't try to use that as a lure for Melana.

Switched channels tonight and missed when she was watching the tape of the guys talking about her "cousin". What did Zach say that got him in trouble? Glad his cover was blown.

Zach talked about "DUFFs" dumb, ugly, fat, friend. Said that all girls had them and you had to be nice to the DUFF to get the girl. Then he started cussing and it was all bleeped out. BUt I think the gist of it was that sexually he would let her do for him but he wouldn't be interested in her,,,something along those lines. Plus just alot of laughing at how fat she was.

And when he was sent home, they had to bleep every other word.

But my question is.. why doesn't she take Adam? the one who is left of the average guys and force him to have a shave.. just to see what is under that stubble.. ugh.

I watched it for the first time tonight, cause I wanted to see how they treated her in the fat suit.

So, according to Zach, its okay to say ugly things about fat girls, when its just "guys talking to guys." uh huh. Ok. got it. roll

yeah, disgusting...tho not unexpected. Guys, no matter what they look like, *think* they're 'all that' and deserve a trophy SO....average women don't expect mr model (who btw, was about as interesting as a bag of hammers...I'm talking about Mike...kind of dull) anyway...I really liked Zach till those pearls of wisdom tumbled out....what a creep! I wonder what the good looking guys said....notice they edited them out for 'surprise' at the end (i.e. the most dramatic non-rose ceremony EVER!)

That is Zach's biggest problem, Who..he truly doesn't GET that how he acts with the guys is just as important as with her! He was truly wonderful with her, but he obviously could also be a real ass like she was warned.
I should have entered the poll..I have guessed the booted right for the last two weeks! It will be interesting to see if she picks Jason. She does seem to be really sexually attracted to him, but in this case, I think he is using her for his career..Jason Storm! LOL

I just saw him on the Today Show and while he says he feels bad for what he said about Danielle, he still justified it by saying it was "just guys". "There aren't hidden cameras in a locker room for a reason".

So, essentially, he is saying that what he said was okay because there weren't any women around. What is pathetically sad about him is that he doesn't realize that what you say about people when no one is around is exactly the moment when it matters. It says a lot about him and I find his behavior and attitude disgusting.

Men like him are why men sometimes get the bad rap that they do.
