My paper reported that the Joe Millionaire people are thrilled that a huge MALE demographic watched Joe..

I think he took "settling down" as marrying.

That doesn't mean him and the winner, didn't or aren't dating.
That's not settling down to me..

I am looking forward to watching this through each week ... it will be good for the laugh (what a good way to start the week off!)

I don't know why they don't pay more attention to his hands (how rough they must be...if he had inherited 50 million two years ago...I would have thought his hands would have been really smooth from all those manicures! LOL!)

And also ...remember it was the Butler that told them he had inherited 50 million....I haven't heard him say that he did! . . . so he hasn't exactally lied .... yet! LOL!

The controversy is, whether Joe Marriott is actually, in fact, indeed, a real millionaire... and the joke is on US!!!

I have a feeling he did inherit money, but not 50 mil, more like 5 mil.

what does he get for being on this show? it's probably a pretty good chunk of change....

Look at all the notarity he is getting right now !
I think the girls are going to be losers once again
The men always get the commercials and the talk shows they are the ones that I always see after the shows are done

FYI, I heard last night on Entertainment Tonight that the first episode of JM would be repeated Jan. 15 (or possibly 16, I'm not sure.)

I think they are going to repeat the first two episodes on Thursday the 16th. It did very well in the ratings.

<...if he had inherited 50 million two years ago...I would have thought his hands would have been really smooth from all those manicures! LOL!)>

LOL Even if I inherited 500 million dollars, I wouldn't start getting manicures!

On a different note, I think it would be highly entertaining if the twist at the end is that he really does have millions. But from what I've seen of Evan so far, both on Joe Millionaire and on other shows, I don't think that's the case. He just does not strike me as being that good an actor to be able to fool us that way, or the women on the show. His behavior is too genuine to be acting. He couldn't be a construction worker, and a model, AND that good an actor. It would have been revealed by now that he had taken acting lessons, or had performed (LOL) somewhere, and we would know about it.

Sadly, although I enjoyed the first episode and will continue to watch until the end, I fear the last episode will end with a thud, and we will all look around the room and at each other and wonder why we watched this show in the first place.

I am taking an ASL class Monday nights and will probably miss this whole series as I don't really want to mess around with taping it, but I am enjoying reading people's posts. I really want to find out who this "Heidi-ho" is. That nickname had me ROFLMAO.

Extra (or Access Hollywood, I never know which I'm watching) showed a clip of him as a speaking extra in an episode of Days of Our Lives. He might not be a millionaire (and I agree with those of you above, he doesn't seem like he is by the way he talks about it) but he's not what I'd call average! Unless you live in Hollywood I suppose...

One thing has me puzzled. I'd think a construction worker (especially someone who runs that heavy equipment) would make more than 19 grand a year. That kind of salary is bad enough in Colorado. I can't imagine how someone could live on that in California!

Well, during BB3 I remember Eric saying he made $12,000. As a firefighter in Connecticut. Connecticut is probably one of the most expensive states to live in and I have no idea how he survived on that.

That's hard to believe about Eric- my cousin is a firefighter (here in Wisconsin) and he makes close to $50,000- granted this is after about 5 years but still...

maybe eric is part-time and going to school or something, too? he could be working one or 2 24-hour shifts per week until he gets more full-time or something, too...our town here is mostly volunteer, with only 3 paid full-time employees. the only thing i know these volunteers get is lots of good food! (i took my emt courses at the fire department's main building, and the fridge always was full of expensive cold cuts, real butter, steaks, dove bars, etc. a small price to pay for all their hard work!! but i was a tad envious of the stuff i couldn't afford!)

my son said 'saturday night live' had a great spoof on the millionaire show, saying there was a twist...the first twist was that he was gay.
another spoof had him as a former rapist.
i don't think there was any twist that had him really a millionaire, though!

it must be getting great numbers in the watching department for SNL to already be spoofing it!
now, if we could get trista onto joe millionaire, we may have a match!
oops! gotta run, my 9ers are playing!! go 9ers, or should i say, go refs!! ;>)

Ok, meant to post the other day about construction workers and pay in California, but got totally side tracked. My brother in law and his family are all involved in construction and have been for years, so all I can go off of is what I know about them, so I'm really not speaking for all construction workers, lol.

My brother in law, for example, brings home a nice paycheck. But, he has years of expeirience (he started part time when he was 16, and is going on 30 now,) works for a company that is union, works full time plus overtime, and has been with the same company for awhile now.

His younger brother on the other hand, works for a non union company, has just a couple years of experience behind him, has switched companies quite a bit, and usually doesn't make 40 hours a week...he makes about 8 bucks an hour.

We do live in a part of California thats a bit cheaper than most other parts. Average houses here are much cheaper than those in bigger cities (which is one of the main reasons people who work in L.A. move up here,) and cost of living is a bit cheaper to.

I guess I'm just trying to say that for them, it depends how long they've been working, what they do, if they're union or not, how much they work, and the type of company they work for.

I don't know where joe lives and works in California, or how long he's been doing it, but I know that pay is really varied depending on alot of things.

Don't know if that helps or not, but figured I'd share what I've learned through my family.

There was an article in our local paper(CA) and it said the average construction worker makes around 40,000 a year full time. My guess is that he does it part time because 19,000 is about half of that. I also think he just landed a modeling contract, so I think the twist will be that yes, he does only make 19,000 as a construction worker BUT..he just landed a multi million modeling contract! I think the show would have been better if the girls thought he only made 19,000 then find out at the end he is worth millions

His driver's license on the Smoking Gun site (or the report of his toll road fine) said Capistrano Beach.. not one of your cheaper areas, unless he's living on the beach itself.

Exactly Sea, I was also thinking he does come off as someone who hasnt been around a lot of money so that is why I think he did just come into some money

Pamy, my thoughts exactly. He has modeled in the past and has probably made good money at it. I bet he hasn't worked construction long, and only part time to fill in between modeling jobs.
I also think he gets some sort of modeling/commercial deal out this worth a million.
The construction job is a smokescreen, imo, I tend to dismiss it.
He also doesn't seem to be interested in finding his true love or even a girlfriend. This makes me agree with Weiners post above, the ending will end in a thud. I will watch anyway.

maybe the joke is on the network--evan gets all kind of attention and modeling contracts out of this, plus whatever they paid him to be on it to start with!

he lives at capistrano beach?? WOO HOO that's 15 minutes from ME!!

don't see how he can even rent an apt here and make only 19k..LOL..I don't see how he could physically live on the beach itself and make 19k!!!
