I noticed she wasn't wearing her ring as well. I thought they had good "friend" chemistry and will be happy if they just part as friends. They seem to have a genuine like of each other -- it's okay with me if they don't persue a romance.

Maybe I'm cynical but I just can't see how two people can fall in love after a handful of dates and decide to pick up and move across the country to be with someone. I think the odds against that being a success are too high.

Evan picked the right girl because he picked the one who wasn't in it for the money. I wish they had some reaction from Heidi last night. Would have loved to seen her face when she realized she missed out on $500,000.

What a boring show. Made worse by the appearance of Mark L. Wahlberg. Did he say Evan and Zora had "undeniable chemistry"? Maybe on Mars. These two looked so uncomfortable and I'm not surprised at all to hear that they are not together.

froggie, she may spell it with the "u". it took me years to have to not look it up each time i had to write it, because i would think there must be a 'u' in the first syllable somewhere! here, the 'm' ending is most often for portuguese men. maybe the 'n' ending is mostly for mexican men. the late river phoenix's brother is named joaquin, and it always made me want to put their two first names together, because we have the joaquin river here!

oh, the elderly gentleman across the street was named joaquin, and one day his wife was looking for him. way down the street, i could see someone coming, so i told her "i see a joaquin man". well, i said, 'walking', but she thought i meant her husband! luckily, it was him. he used to wander sometimes!

Brenda, she pretty much said the same thing on Regis this am...that it was pretty impossible to develope a lasting relationship in that amount of time and under those circumstances.
I was really impressed with her.

Where was Alex last night? I thought for sure she would have 'popped in' for a quick 10 second scene!

I loved it when Paul asked the girls "who's your daddy". LOL

From a very good article:

Adding to the mystery of what happened to the show's host Alex McLeod, she's entirely absent from the special. Instead, Mark L. Walberg steps in to chat with Evan and his chosen one, Zora, presumably to brush off his interrogation skills for the upcoming "Temptation Island 3."

also - about Paul:

The best part of the hour is spent getting to better know the "Joe Millionaire" butler, Paul, who sets the record straight that his profession is not that of a glorified waiter, but rather a senior executive who is paid accordingly.

Hogan, who will have his hands full on Sunday when he helps Anna Nicole Smith search for a man on the live season premiere of "The Anna Nicole Show,"

I saw Zora on Fox this morning, and she said there is no romance. They parted as friends and it was good. She also said that he's very busy on the west coast and there also was the issue of him dating other girls, so...it's a done deal, lol. Gee. I thought it would last forever. LOL.
Oh..she also didn't know why the other girls didn't know they were on a dating show. She was told what it was from the beginning. She said they told her it was going to be like "The Bachelor."

So once again, there is manipulation from Fox. They knew full well that the two of them were a total dud but they have been editing this show to be every little girl's dream come true, complete with the fairy tale ending, lots of money and pretty baubles. Then they have the gall to bill last night's show as "find out what happens to America's favorite couple" even though they knew these two were never together. I hate Fox. What a crock.

Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 02:17 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Did anyone else notice in the casting call that they were looking for women interested in a man who was "very, very rich"?

And Zora was always on about being uncomfortable around money. Huh. Sorry, I just can't believe her. I sure didn't buy into the romance, and now it seems for good reason. Just like most of the girls, Zora wanted the exposure and fame. That's what the contestants are really "digging" for--not gold, but fame and showbiz opportunities. Which I have no problem with, as long as I'm not expected to believe in the fairytale that isn't.

Trista and Ryan, on the other hand--they might actually make it! :)

It does make you feel a little "taken," doesn't it, CrazyDog?

Realfan, I think that Zora has done some modeling before this show. My guess is that she went on this show to jumpstart her career.

Tuesday, February 25, 2003 - 04:24 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I got the impression from what Zora told Regis & Joy that Evan picked her because it was the best choice for the sake of the show, even though he may have had more chemistry with other girls. Of course Fox manipulated things. Joy Philbin even made the comment that people will be disillusioned knowing now that these shows are just for entertainment. Personally, I just can't understand why people would have ever believed that real couples are being created by these types of shows.

Meanwhile, I won't be surprised if Zora makes a few more appearances here and there, but if she really wants to jumpstart a modeling or acting career she sure didn't give that impression this morning. She appears to have gained a bit more weight around the middle (although she's got a big enough frame to carry it well), and she said she's thinking of going back to nursing school.

Does anyone know what happened to Sarah on Caroline Rhea? On Monday's show they announced she was on and when she was supposed to come on next they switched to another guest with no explanation. Watched it yesterday to see if she was on but she wasn't. Zora was on and she was so funny. She told Caroline she was caught up in the moment and lied when she said "I'd like to continue the journey with you". She was a hoot.

I am glad Zora got the 500K as she seems like a good person who will save some $, blow some $ and still find time to do some good.....
I think Paul is one classy dude who would be fun to hang with.<I am well over 40 and I adore confident men who have it going on>

Fox Planning Second "Joe Millionaire"

Fox Planning Second'Joe Millionaire'

By DAVID BAUDER
AP Television Writer





NEW YORK (AP) -- Flush with the success of "Joe Millionaire," Fox executives said Wednesday that they are readying a second edition.

Fox would not say when the hit reality series would return or how a sequel would differ from the first, which was based on a joke that everyone but the female competitors were in on.

"It can't be done identically to the first one for all the obvious reasons," said Sandy Grushow, Fox Television Entertainment chairman.

Grushow said the network "has come up with a notion that carries all of the same values forward. We're obviously optimistic that it will perform extremely well when it returns."

An estimated 40 million viewers watched the final hour of the series on Feb. 17, helping lead Fox to its first-ever victory in a ratings "sweeps" month among viewers aged 18 to 49.

CBS was the most popular network in February when viewers of all ages are counted. But networks like Fox, NBC and ABC are intensely interested in the youthful demographic because it's craved by advertisers.

The chaotic February sweeps was marked by intense competition for Michael Jackson programming and reality series like "American Idol" and "The Bachelorette" that could be moved and expanded in a scheduling chess game.

CBS President Leslie Moonves called it the "craziest sweeps in the history of television." NBC Entertainment Chairman Jeff Zucker said it was "nutty" and his ABC counterpart, Lloyd Braun, called it "wild and woolly."

All of those assessments left Grushow somewhat miffed.

"The comments are so transparent that it borders on being comical," he said. "If they feel that February was ridiculous or crazy or nutty, they ought to be ready for ridiculous or crazy months of March, April and May."

Zucker congratulated Fox and noted it was the first sweeps month NBC had lost in the 18-to-49-year-old demographic since February 2000.

"Obviously, it's disappointing that we didn't win," Zucker said. "But it's far more a credit to what Fox did than what we didn't do."

One of NBC's top priorities for this summer and next year is to develop a successful relationship-based reality series along the lines of "Joe Millionaire" and "The Bachelor," he said.

Meanwhile, ABC announced Thursday it was preparing a fourth edition of "The Bachelor" that "has the heir to a well-known family, a `Dynasty'-like family," ABC executive Susan Lyne said.

Fox is about to debut "Married by America," a series based on the idea that it can marry off two longing-for-love people who had never met, In April, Fox presents "Mr. Personality," a series that "explores how looks effect love," said entertainment President Gail Berman.

There was a little blip of Sarah being interviewed yesterday on Extra saying she was mad at Fox for not being included in the aftermath show.

Did anyone see Cedric the Entertainer last night? He had Joe Millionaire on for a short spoof combining Joe Millionaire and My Big, Fat Greek Wedding. It was hilarious!

If I was the right age, I'd go on a dating show just for the adventure, certainly one that involved going to Europe for a while! ... and I think that might be true of Zora. Wasn't she doing working as a substitute teaching and a personal care attendant? Both jobs that you could leave for a while and come back to ...

You know, something about all the girls being miffed at him for lying bugs me.

I mean, they all got on the show via a casting call. They were all basically "hired" to "fill a role."

Why are they mad at Evan for lying to them? He was hired to fill a role, and instructed to go along with the lie FOX made up! Why hold it against Evan for following directions?

As for the "sequel." I think they should match up overwieght women in their 40's with some dashing handsome man who is really wealthy. Then, at least I'd be eligible to apply as one of the women!

I thought that was the biggest hole in the aftermath show. I TOTALLY wanted to see Sarah's take on the whole thing. They really missed out there.

Hermione, I actually taped the show and glad that I did. I never watched Cedric's show before and didn't realize it was a variety show but if he was smart, he would have put the spoof on at the end of the show so people would have to watch the whole thing. However, the spoof was very funny!

'Millionaire' couple didn't last past last episode
Houston Chronicle News Services
Another reality TV romance has gone down the drain. Joe Millionaire's winning bachelorette, Zora Andrich, has confirmed that she and Evan Marriott are finished as a couple.
Andrich

"I realized almost immediately after the taping of the final episode last November that it wasn't meant to be," Andrich, 29, told TV Guide.

Meanwhile, Fox is planning a show that poses the question: Is love more than skin deep?

The series, titled Mr. Personality, will involve a woman choosing a mate from a group of men, all of whom have their faces disguised.

As the program progresses, the single gal narrows her choice to one man. At that point, she finally unmasks the guy.
