karuuna, I am always working. It looks like everyone will be tuned in on Thursday's recap to determine who was hallucinating.

Did anyone else hear what Evan said about Melissa and the cooking date? Something like, "I guess she's not very domesticated". I know he used the word "domesticated". I've only ever heard that word used in reference to animals, as in, "Dogs were once only wild, but now many are domesticated".

Maybe it's just me, but that had me laughing.

Yes Mamaanja..and the comment about how did doesn't go out for meals often so he "wants someone who knows their way around the kitchen" had me shaking my head too..

I didn't get the impression at all that Mojo slept with Evan. I think if she had it would be very obvious to us. They wanted us to think that more was going on in the forest with the blonde gal than really did.

I caught the "domesticated" comment too and found it an odd way of saying it. I agree that Melissa's date was really lame compared to the other girls.

Was it Owl who came up with the Cinderella story? Brilliant and I think correct. When Evan mentioned that being around Zora was like a Disney movie I nearly choked. She is completely edited to win this thing.

Mojo's poem with the line about "husband and wife" was over the top! I think she also said he's really "charming". So far I've seen nothing that supports the claim that he's charming.

Whoever said he looks like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast is right on the money! And just like Gaston, a bunch of clueless women are trailing after him. He is SO Gaston.

HEY!!! Gaston is gorgeous!!! <okay..he's a dofus..but he's still cute!!> I don't find Evan appealing at all..he has a nice smile..but other than that..he's not my type..

It was Heidi who first compared him to Gaston--but I think she thought it was a compliment. ITA he looks more and more like Gaston.

The casting was great on this, though. He's like the Anti-Bachelor. Not at all smooth, a <>, lacking manners and class, yet the women are still trying to gain his favor. Makes for a hilarious show.

On Sarah and Evan in the bushes--I agree nothing but kissing went on, despite the "slurp, gulp" subtitles. Evan's probably a sloppy kisser. (And he and Mojo didn't spend the night together.)

I also noticed Evan's chauvinist remarks about the domesticated woman and cooking. What a <>! I got a kick out of Sarah and Melissa saying that bit about him drinking beer and going to Hooters. They have his number. Except one of them said they could change that in him. Ha!

I think the word he was looking for was "domestic" instead of "domesticated".

On a different note, I think Evan is physically attractive but he has a flat, monotonous and almost relentlessly masculine voice. Some of the things he says in that voice don't help him either. I agree that he is NOT charming.

Sara was on the morning show here 98.7 (Jamie & Danny show) She talks so fast and was pretty peppy... much more animated than she is on the show. Jamie and Danny were positive that she 'serviced' Evan in the bushes but she denied it and said they just kissed.

She really didn't give up much information. But I got a feeling she wasn't picked. She is supposed to be on Extra tonight. She lives in LA. Melissa and her are good friends, she came to vivt last week. She did make one comment though... she said the jewelry was beautiful but not worth the embarrasment.

I like Zora. Not crazy about Melissa. Indifferent about Sara. Evan... yikes!

Interesting point about bedding Mojo. If he did, you KNOW we would not be in doubt. They want us to keep tuning in.

So I guess we are back to Merlin not jumping pronouns, which I think is wise.

Curious that Melissa turned her nose up at Evan drinking beer. Has she been under a rock? It is very in these days. Micro breweries abound and fancy beers not to mention Corona and lime served everywhere. Not that I remember a time when beer was not an acceptable drink.

Another comment on that "mercenary" thing....Why would someone go all the way across the world to give a child a bath? I mean, wouldn't it be more important to feed them, and give them needed medication?

"I want to bathe their children because I have a mercenary personality....."

I don't get it!

I do not like Snora. I still don't understand her. She's on a reality show whose premise is landing a rich guy, and she refuses to say anything AT ALL about herself. She reminds me a lot of that girl Shannon from the first Bachelor, the one that was more interested in playing with her dog than talking to the guy.

Snora was in the hot tub with Evan. When the other girls came in, she put on a tank top, and then went sulking to her room to go to bed. I think she has some major issues.

I agree that Melissa got shortchanged on her date, just because he was hungover from the wine he had with Sarah. I can understand why she was irritated at the spectacular kitchen date.

Melissa and Sarah may not be the nicest of people, but it is extremely entertaining watching them make fun of the other girls. Snora just puts me to sleep.

My husband, who I discourage from watching my trashy reality shows with me, wandered in last night during the Disney sequence. He said, "Where is this anyway? Is it in France? They don't have racoons in France!"

Last night I was annoyed, but today every time I think about it, I find it amusing.

I don't think they DO have racoons in France!

my dog likes this show...he stands in front of the tv when it's on and everyone has to shout at him to sit down! i think he is hoping for a doggie reality show--perhaps 'joe millionairedale' LOL

Tabby, I think they should have you do a commercial: "My dog likes this show".

That says it all!:)

I think an airedale would be far more interesting in the lead role than Evan :)

Actually, I've come to consider that Joe is actually the worst of the lot...the show I mean...it's so bad it's good. No emotion here, just as funny as a sit com. These folks are all a riot starting with Evan....hope he has a big....well....I let that pass....it's sure not brains.

Fox is advertising The Pulse at 9 EST on Thursday: "What is Joe's other secret? Tune in to find out." (paraphrased) I didn't know if this had been posted yet, haven't had time to read the whole thread.

I just zipped thru my tape from last night.. the abominable Bridezillas and Joe Millionaire and have to say I was pretty much more disgusted with Joe and Melissa and Sara,, Mojo and her hat are gone.. bye bye..

Love the Butler.

Evan's comments are just totally inane but in the teaser we get a clue.. he gets more fried every time he lies.. meaning he's braindead.

I meant more disgusted than by the bridezillas, even.

Me too Seamonkey. I keep turning this show on and in a few minutes I just can't bear it.

I keep trying to figure out what the Producers think will be a "very satisfying" ending.

for me, a very satisfying ending would be a full episode of the butler telling us about all the shenanigans and stupid things that happened, and how he had to keep his cool through it all when he really felt like busting out laughing.
