IMHO, it's hardly fair to say Zora is more appealing in the thinner picture just because of her weight loss, when she is also better made up, better posed, and better dressed in the thinner picture. It is a more flattering shot all the way around, and deliberately so. If they put "heavier" Zora in that pose/clothes/makeup and "thinner" Zora under the tree in natural light, khaki pants and that frumpy white shirt, the average person would probably be drawn to "heavier" Zora. I found the ads to be very manipulative.

ITA with you. Black always makes one look thinner. I never thought she looked the slightest bit chubby. It was that stupid blue dress she was wearing on the last show that made her look bad. She's almost too thin now.

I don't know where else to put this: I just saw Paige from FLOM in a movie. It was on the family channel starring Jason Priestly called 'I Want to Marry Ryan Banks'. It was a suprisingly sweet movie I recorded totally by accident. It was a complete send up of Reality TV dating shows. Jason P is Ryan Banks a super famous actor whose career is sliding. So, his best friend manager (they guy who played Will on Alias) sets up Ryan in a reality dating show to boost his career. It's pretty hilarious - especially if you weren't expecting anything. Paige plays one of the girls. The main woman is Emma Caufield. She once played Jason's love interest on 90210 - later she was Anya on Buffy. Very cute movie.

Hermione69, I agree with you completely! Most images are manipulated, but for whatever reason I feel more drawn towards it. The other photo is more natural, and she is gorgeous!! I saw that too Gina8642! As soon as I saw Paige I was like who is that? Average Joe, Joe Millionaire, ahhh, For Love or Money's Paige She's cute and she played herself well.

Gina, I saw the Ryan Banks movie, too. I thought it was so cute when Jason asked her on their date if she thinks she is too young for him (or equivalent) and she answered just as she did on the For Love or Money. And thanks, Missy, I couldn't remember which show she was on -- I use to be able to search our TVCH Archives but now they seem to be dumping things much sooner, lol...

I love Emma Caufield! I have the movie on tape to watch this weekend. Check your listings--I'm sure it'll be on ABC Family a lot, as it's an original of theirs.

After reading in US magazine that Bob met Rebbecca Budig during the taping of The Bachelor and was seeing her while going through the motions of the show, I feel totally scammed by this show. The article said that "he only picked Estella because he had to pick someone." I have lost interest in the "find a mate" reality shows. They are no better than the one where Darva Conger married the fake millionaire on FOX. Survivor, TAR, BB,The Mole,and now, The Apprentice are still worth watching but the dating shows are TV crap.

Deesandy, 'I Want to Marry Ryan Banks' is rather cute and harmless...if you have time you might enjoy it -- it currently seems to play all the time on ABC Family so you can probably work it in to your schedule if you decide to catch it.

Which one was Zach?

Zach was the guy with the cute smile who seemed to be doing well with Melana until the "fat suit" incident. He was the one who was caught on the hidden camera making jokes about fat girls and, when she asked him to leave, he was really mad about having been secretly taped while having a conversation with the guys. Talked about how it was "guy talk" and not meant to be taken literally.

ZACH was the jerk, who busted an egg on another guys head. He was the one who didn't want to be known as the best of the losers.

Bob is on the View today and Rebecca is with him (back stage). He actually seems very smitten with her (and she with him) and admitted to loving her! He is singing "Girlfriend." Not bad, but he's no Clay

I found my own answer....see below Link http://www.oaoa.com/sports/sp010304a.htm Not your average ‘Joe’ By Dave Sager Odessa American Exactly one year ago, 1997 Midland Lee graduate and former star quarterback for the Rebels David Smith was pretty much a nobody. Sure, he had a bit of celebrity status when he played for Lee, leading the Rebels to a perfect 10-0 season his senior year. That in itself attracted a lot of media attention towards him. However, after he graduated, he left Midland, went off to college and eventually moved to Bellville, where he still resides today. So, last year when he competed in the SandHills Rodeo for the first time in his career as a bareback rider, no one took any notice. The name David Smith is almost as common as John Smith. But what a difference a year makes. “It’s been a big year for me,” Smith said. “I made it to my first circuit finals, I was on television and I got to meet some wonderful girls.” In case anyone out there in West Texas still does not know who Smith is, he was “The Next Joe Millionaire” on the sequel to FOX’s popular reality show “Joe Millionaire.” And Friday night, Smith made his first return to the Permian Basin since the show aired. He competed in the bareback event during the first night of the Annual SandHills Rodeo. It was also his first rodeo competition in nearly seven months. “I’m so excited to be back home doing something I love,” Smith said. “This is my hometown. I’m a little upset that I didn’t do well. I missed my horse out, but it’s still early. This is the first competition of the year and I’ve got some more (rodeos) to go to.” Smith missed his mark out of the chute and was disqualified. According to the rules of rodeo, a bareback rider must begin his ride with his feet placed above the break of the horse’s shoulders. If his feet are not in the correct position when the horse hits the ground on its first jump out of the chute, he is said to have “missed his mark.” The season finale of “The Next Joe Millionaire” aired a little more than a month ago and since the show, Smith is no longer a nobody. “It’s instant fame,” he said. “Everyone has been positive to me that I’ve met. I’m just blessed to have done that. Before the show, (the TV producers) tell you about the fame, but a guy could never be prepared for that. I’m an athlete, so I’ve been in the spotlight with football and college baseball. But to have it televised like that — you can’t be ready for that kind of instant fame.” Aside from playing football, Smith qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo after winning the Southern Region in the bareback event when he attended Wharton College in Austin. He also played baseball at McMurry University in Abilene. But his first love is rodeo. “I’m never gonna give up bareback,” Smith said. “I hate to say it, but I’d have to get killed. I love to work out and I love to compete… But I can’t give up rodeo. It’s what put me in this position in the first place.” And just like most people did in the Permian Basin when they found out a Midlander was going to be on a national television show, Smith, too, watched the show and said that he was pretty pleased with the outcome and his portrayal. “It’s really odd seeing yourself on TV,” he said. “I thought they portrayed me pretty accurately. I thought they made the girls look a little bit more money-hungry than they actually were, but that’s just me. I had a wonderful time. They were all great girls, and I had great dates with all of them.” Anyone who watched the show, or even just the season finale, knows what happened. Smith had to choose between Cat, from Germany, and Linda, from the Czech Republic. He chose Linda, who initially spurned him, saying she was upset about the lie — not the fact that he was not really a millionaire. But in the end, it was a happy ending for Smith as Linda changed her mind and met him at his ranch, just outside of Austin, that FOX gave to him. The show ended with both riding off into the sunset and Smith was quoted as saying: “The show is over, but the relationship has just begun.” But did it? “I’ve been talking with Linda,” Smith said. “She’s really successful in her modeling in Europe. It’s not like we’re getting married or anything, but I felt we met for a reason. She’s a wonderful person and if it’s mean to be, it’ll happen…They couldn’t have put us any farther apart. “But if it works out, bonus. If not, I’ve got a great friend.” OA writers Michael Kern and David J. Lee contributed to this story.

Andrew was The Bachelor #...2? And Jen is who he picked. Andrew Firestone (yes from the tire family, although his branch of it is in the wine business). He and Jen were living together for a time after the show, but then broke up. Don't know where Rslover got the info on them being back together, but I hope it's true.

Ahhhh- I rememeber hearing the name now. I never really got into the Bachelor shows so I don't know the people. I watched the Trista one on and off because I thought the guy she ended up picking (see, they're probably the most hyped Bachelor/ette couple and I can't think of his name) was such a cutie. Then the guy Trista didn't pick- he had a Bachelor show too, right? I'm confused. I think there must have been a lot more seasons of those shows than I know of. I just know that the first Bachelor didn't pick Trista, then she was the Bachelorette, then I thought Bob or whatever his name was became the next Bachelor. And I don't have a clue what's going on now. Too many people for me too keep track of. Oh well Thanks for filling me in.

Yes, I saw the cover of US Magazine which had the center cover shot of Andrew and Jen and it said that they were back together again. Hmm, I may have to check the article out when I am in the checkout line.

'In Touch' magazine reports that David and Linda from Joe Millionaire 2 have broken up. He says if she lived in the US it would have worked, but the distance was difficult. He also went to Prague for a while. Kat is apparently in LA and David has met up with her again, and says "you never know" about their relationship.

US magazine says that Andrew and Jen are back together and PEOPLE says they are not. He was just in Chicago and they had dinner together. So I guess we will have to wait and see.

Oj, I do hope they are! I really thought out of all the couples that they had the best chance. Maybe they just needed some time to decompress separately, just like any normal couple.

Kitt, do you still have the article? I usually always try to pick up InTouch at the store but forgot this weeks and I never heard anything at all about David and Linda from JoeMillionaire2. They never covered anything on any talk shows after that (frustrating) because he got a ranch, that is so cool! So the article made is sound like they were a couple for a little while at least???? Tell me more, please :-)

OK, I read the US magazine article and the headline should read "Back On?" and not "Back On!". I hate it when they do that. It's misleading and trashy. In the article they only state they got together when he was in town for some wine or tire promotion thing. They then question if it will lead to more. So, no, I don't think they are back on, but they are still communicating so who knows what the future holds.

I read in TV Guide that Trista is no longer so happy with Ryan's work as a fireman. She wants him to do something more in the public eye -- something that would get them / her more perks as pre-wedding. Maybe things aren't going so well? Anyone heard more about them?

Spwisc, here's the actual text of the article: ~~ Joe Millionaire 2. What's the latest? It's over with Linda, but he's moved on. Hunky cowboy David Smith was last seen riding off into the sunset with Linda. But The Next Joe Millionaire star revealed to In Touch that he's already moved on to one of Linda's love rivals -- German runner-up Kat! "Unfortunately, me and Linda are no longer boyfriend and girlfriend," confessed David. "She's in Prague. I feel that if she was from the US, we would be together. We did put our best effort into trying to be with one another, and I went to Prague, but it just didn't work out." "There were real feelings, and I really like Linda and she liked me," he said. "It was never a hoax." But David's no lonesome cowboy. "Kat is excited to see me," he added. "So you never know, she's in LA." Stay tuned! ~~ Shame it didn't work out with Linda. I never really liked Kat.
