Wildone | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 04:48 pm     Babyjax, that sounds hilarious sorry I missed it. Someone wrote that Evan had an interview and said that one of the girls took the truth well and the other one didn't. Does anybody know a link to an article that would let us know? |
Zipsdaddy | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 05:55 pm     Poor Joe, the final twist will be on him. In the latest commercial tonight, he is saying, What's going on here? Somebody's not telling me something....." I believe whoever he finally chooses refuses to accept the ring, and his 15 minutes of fame are over. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 10:51 pm     One can only hope and pray that he disappears completely... |
Jhezzie | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:07 pm     I would LOVE it if he were turned down before he could tell them he was poor, LOL! |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, February 12, 2003 - 11:40 pm     That would be good! |
Bandit | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 08:20 am     Evan was on Howard Stern this morning, but I only caught the tail end of it. He said that he wasn't nervous about telling the girls he wasn't a millionaire and that he didn't feel bad about lying to them, because that is what they signed up for. |
Grooch | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 08:25 am     I heard part of the interview this morning and it really changed my opinion of him. He seems like a sweet, very nice, laid back, down to earth guy who isn't letting all of this hoopla go to his head. They really editted it to make him look worse than he is. He said there wasn't a lot of talking on the dates, because he didn't have much in common with any of them. I wish I heard the whole thing. |
Grooch | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 08:30 am     He also said that he was at a party and met a guy that had something to do with the show, and then months later got a call from him asking to do the show because they really needed someone. That all the other people they considered either had a criminal record, were married, or had STDs. Also, after he left, Baba Booey said that when he was walking down the hallway, all the girls in the office were out there also and were clapping and cheering for him and they all said that he looks so much better in real life than on tv. Baba Booey also said that he never saw that happen before with any guest, even with Arnold Shwarztenegger, or any other famous male actor. |
Babyjaxmom | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:00 am     My husband was reading an article on-line last night about a basketball game in NYC (was it the Knicks?) and Joe Millionaire/Evan was shown on the big-screen TV during the game. He was booed by the audience, and they said he seemed surprised that he was booed. I felt sorry for him. I think it was a little harsh that he got booed. It's only a TV show, and hey, we're all watching it! I hope he is a nice guy and finds a nice girl who's compatible for him. |
Crazydog | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:24 am     I think the reason why he got booed is a combination of three things: 1) dislike for him personally because of his apparent Neanderthal-like ways, 2) anger at Fox over the blatant baiting and misleading information over the content of last Monday's show, and 3) the fact that he has surpassed J.Lo-status in terms of the constant and relentless overexposure. I certainly would have booed him and I don't feel sorry for him one bit. He chose to do this show. If he is attempting to benefit from his pseudo-celebrity, as he clearly seems intent on doing, then he needs to learn to accept the criticism that comes with it. <> |
Ladytex | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:29 am     Well, I feel sorry for him and would not have booed him. If he is under contract to Fox, he has to appear where and when they tell him to. There has been nothing written that says that he is trying to benefit from this at all. He has been very nice on everything he is on. |
Realbiz | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 09:58 am     He appears dumber and dumber to me - the overexposure e.g. on ET everynight (almost) means that he has no life, other than 'trying' to get exposure. At first people was curious to find out about him, but he has since worn out his welcome by numerous appearances on tv shows which he does NOT fit in at all. All this, plus the "recrap" Monday, has made both him and FOX look bad. No wonder there's tons of anti-FOX group out there. Hope they learn a thing or two. |
Denecee | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 10:15 am     I would not have booed him because I realize that he's just a pawn. If it wasn't Evan it would have been some other guy doing "Joe". I think that Zora & Sarah were both hand picked and that the whole thing is as fake as a three dollar bill. But, I'm still going to watch ! |
Crazydog | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 10:37 am     Realbiz, that sums up my sentiment exactly. At first I was curious about his story, but since then he has worn out his welcome. And I don't necessarily agree with the view that he's just a pawn so we shouldn't take it out on him. He is a performer on a television show, much like any regular actor. Actors get paid to be in movies and TV shows. They are sent by their studios to Entertainment Tonight et al to promote their product. When they turn in a bad performance, they get criticized and poorly reviewed. In my opinion, Evan has performed laughably and deserves the criticism he is getting. Now if the end twist is that he is actually intelligent and was instructed to act dumb, then that was his choice to take on the role of a "dumb" guy. Any actor who does that always feels a little bit of heat - look at the criticism Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider always get for playing idiot characters. |
Denecee | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 11:24 am     Well I still wouldn't have booed him, he hasn't done anything to me. He's probably laughing all the way to the bank, but not as hard as all the big wigs at Fox. |
Seamonkey | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 12:22 pm     I would have booed |
Trisha1 | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 12:47 pm     I agree that Evan is laughing all the way to the bank. This show has high ratings and is exactly what the exec's were aiming for -So all concerned are laughing on their way to the bank, and no, I wouldn't have booed. |
Wildone | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:31 pm     He didn't have anything in common with them? DU ah They thought you were a rich man, if you were able to be real with them then the dates would have been full of chatter. With all the exposure the show has gotten and all hipe I don't think that Evan and his choice are a couple. In fact Evan is probably dating a lot of different girls. Fox has manipulated the show to make us believe that he ends up with a soulmate/or someone that he's intending on marrying, this is working because we all get sucked in and watch. Don't get me wrong I like happy endings, but this is a REALITY show. I like Evans character too, but I'm sick of this being dragged out,so FOX can make a buck. The girl who is choosen probably is friends with Evan, but be realistic after she finds out the truth she's going to have to get to know him all over again. It's not Evan's fault,that's what rating are all about. It will be interesting what the girls (the original 15)have to say. I hope he chooses Zora because she was trying to get to know him as a person, not throwing herself all over him. Ok done ranting.... have to rest. |
Bandit | Thursday, February 13, 2003 - 02:50 pm     I wouldn't have booed-how awful. He must have felt terrible, and now I actually feel sorry for him. Plus, I bet more than half the people in that crowd are watching the show, and will continie to! |
Lilliegirl | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 05:37 pm     I would never boo him I fill sorry for him, Fox is makeing him do all these shows to promote the show and yes I hope he picks Zora so I can see the grin on Sarahs face fall to the ground. |
Seamonkey | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 06:07 pm     He was shown last night on some Tommy Hilfiger event, meeting various people.. (he met Patti LaBelle and someone from the Sopranos, but he doesn't watch that, and Tommy and , I forget, but anyway, someone asked him about the twist and he said that "you will enjoy it". |
Jhezzie | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 10:22 pm     I wouldn't have booed him because that's just stupid. He, however, is hardly a pawn! He's been aspiring to get famous for a while now and he's gotten what he went for. |
Muse | Friday, February 14, 2003 - 11:39 pm     I don't really feel too sorry for him. I agree that the show is making him do certain appearances and interviews, but I doubt that they're making him do *everything* he's doing. He's a media *hore...he obviously went on the show to get some exposure, and he got it. He doesn't seem to dislike all the attention, and no doubt he's getting paid well enough for it. I would not have booed him, though, just because I think that's rude and unnecessary. |
Rslover | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 11:03 am     I think the twist may be (as someone may have already said) that the women will be offered a million dollar in lieu of Evan. Then Evan will be given a million dollars, so then he will be a millionaire. Rumor has it that Zora is heir to the Ballantine Beer fortune. |
Puttergirl | Saturday, February 15, 2003 - 12:30 pm     What I think will happen: I think they are sticking it to us again and the only "big twist" is going to be that the chosen girl doesn't show up at the ballroom. This reminds me too much of how they always say on Bachlorette that we will see "the most shocking rose ceremony yet"!!!!! What I would like to see happen: The chosen girl shows up at the ballroom and then informs Evan that she can't go with him because she has been having a secret affair with the butler and is going to have his love child!!!! |
