John32070 | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:38 pm     I'd love to see Zora's Calender pics. Can't believe no one's dug them up yet. |
Kitt | Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 02:53 pm     The "movie" of her (which was never finished or released) was called "Silicone Valley", yes, silicone, not silicon. The clips of it were very bad, Zora was a girl who was irresistable to men, so she was jogging through the park/walking down the street etc., and mean were following her. She didn't look much different from how she is now, except she was blonder. |
Texannie | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 07:03 am     Too funny..watching Regis and Kelly, and they are announcing who are going to be the guests next week (after Kelly leaves for maternity) and they are going to have Sarah and Zora on (different days) and Kelly is going ballistic "it's not fair!!! why are you doing this while I am gone? I watched the whole show!!!" LOL |
Pcakes2 | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 07:22 am     Here's a CNN article: LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Less than a week after 35 million people watched "Joe Millionaire" Evan Marriott pick Zora Andrich over 19 other women, both say they could have fallen for others -- in her case, a horse. Marriott, the shaggy 28-year-old construction worker who pretended to be heir to a $50 million fortune for the Fox reality show, lavished praise on runner-up Sarah Kozer in a People magazine interview. And Andrich, portrayed on the show as a struggling teacher with a heart of gold, told People that during her stay at a rented French chateau she fell in love -- with a horse. "Sarah and I got along like gangbusters ... a lot better than a lot of ex-girlfriends I've had," Marriott said in the interview, which was conducted the day after the show's finale and appears in the March 3 issue of People. Marriott suggests that in the end he rejected Kozer because he couldn't be sure that she was interested in his hunky good looks and winning personality and not the phony $50 million. "The premise of the show was to find a girl that I thought was into me for me," he told People. "Sarah and I were more intimate but that didn't mean Sarah wasn't a gold digger." Marriott said he knew "without a shadow of a doubt" that Andrich was not after his phony money, adding that she was "sweet and nice" and "the perfect girl for the show." In the final episode of the hit show, Marriott and Andrich were presented with $1 million. Marriott gave her a ring and she pledged to continue her "journey" at his side. But in the People interview Marriott sounded less than lovestruck as he described his 29-year-old TV sweetheart's reaction to their newfound fortune. "She didn't believe it," he said. "She didn't believe it the day after. I almost got mad and just said: 'Look, you've just been offered half a million dollars. Why don't you snap out of it and realize what's going on?' " Andrich, meanwhile, wondered aloud during the People interview whether two people could really find true love in just a month's time -- then answered her own question. "I am a true believer in possibility," she said. "I never rule out anything. But honestly I think it would be highly unlikely. The chances of it are pretty slim." And she sounds dreamy only when describing the French chateau, where Fox filmed the show amid verdant fields and a stable of horses. "Oh, I loved those horses," she said. "Being with the horse, the one whose name meant 'Sweetie' in French, I was in heaven," she said. "That's who has my heart. The horse." |
Wink | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 07:26 am     >>>Marriott said he knew "without a shadow of a doubt" that Andrich was not after his phony money, adding that she was "sweet and nice" and "the perfect girl for the show<<<< But it sounds like maybe not the "perfect girl for him". |
Seamonkey | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 11:31 am     The ex boyfrend isn't a hunk, he's an absolute no-neck hulk. I gather Evan already has spent some of his winnings on a Mercedes. I hope Zora can take her money, continue to help people and definitely ditch both Evan and that creepy ex. Sigh.. It WAS a neat ending, but I have to say Trista and Ryan totally eclipsed them (yeah, not in the ratings but in neat endings). Maybe Zora can adopt a sweet horse, too. |
Grooch | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 02:15 pm     'Millionaire' loser sore Sarah: Duped, embarrassed by reality show By LANCE GOULD DAILY NEWS FEATURE WRITER "Joe Millionaire" runnerup Sarah Kozer is fit to be tied over the way she was treated by the blockbuster TV reality show. "I'm horrified," Kozer - who got the boot from fake rich guy Evan Marriott in Monday night's finale - told the Daily News yesterday. "[I'm] completely embarrassed." She said she and the other 20 women who flew to the French chateau where the show was taped were duped by the show's producer, who never even told them "there was going to be a guy there." "I thought it was going to be 'Sex and the City' in France," said Kozer, 29, breaking her network-imposed silence from her home in Beverly Hills, Calif. "The way [they described it], it was going to be 20 single, sophisticated women in France, looking for romance and adventure. Then, once we got there, [they said] 'Oh, it's going to be a dating show.' It was a setup from the get-go. We didn't know what we were getting into." Kozer - who caused an off-screen controversy when it was revealed she had starred in dozens of bondage and foot-fetish videos - also said she was unhappy about being portrayed as the "bad girl." "It's upsetting," she said. "Because it wasn't like that. These shows are edited in a very Freudian way - they have to have a Madonna and a temptress. Once they started editing, I was really shocked that they chose me to play that role." As for Evan Marriott, aka Joe Millionaire, they haven't had any contact since the show ended with Marriott choosing Zora Andrich over Kozer as his "fairy tale princess." "We're not allowed to [have contact with him]," she told The News. But she wanted to make one thing very clear about their relationship. Referring to the notorious moment when she and Marriott ventured away from the cameras for what seemed to be an al fresco makeout session - replete with "slurp"-ing subtitles - Kozer said: "It was nothing ever more than a kiss. Even Evan is backing that. It was a setup - even Evan getting me off camera was a setup." The experience wasn't a total loss for Kozer, who said she made friends among her fellow female suitors - including Melissa Mowery, who is staying with her in Los Angeles. Kozer said she has spoken with Andrich. "I talked to her yesterday and today, just briefly," Kozer said. "I told her to hang in there. And I called her to congratulate her Monday night." As for the fetish videos, Kozer said: "I never thought it was a big deal. I told Fox about it at the beginning. There was no nudity. It was a modeling job." Now Kozer just wants to move on. "I'm hoping to do ... a cookbook, and [there's talk of] a reality cooking show," said Kozer, who has a broadcasting degree from George Mason University. "I've also had some hosting offers. I've got an audition with E! for a style show." |
Grannyg | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 02:32 pm     Thanks for the article, Gooch!! Do you really think they didn't tell them about a guy being there? Somehow that just doesn't sound right. What did she think she was going to France for? A month of being out on the town with 19 other girls trying to pick up dates? |
Texannie | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 02:36 pm     I honestly could see Fox doing something like that though. |
Seamonkey | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 03:04 pm     A cookbook! Hopefully she won't ask her "friend" Melissa to contribute to that |
Texannie | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 03:16 pm     I realize she can swallow, but can she cook?  |
Pamy | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 03:26 pm     ROTF Texannie!!!!!!!!I bet she makes a good Slurpee!!!!!!! |
Texannie | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 03:31 pm     ROFL!!! sorry..couldn't resist. |
Lilliegirl | Friday, February 21, 2003 - 07:46 pm     Great one Tex could not have said it better. |
Sherbabe | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 09:03 am     I just finished reading the People magazine article in the comfort of my own home. I can't wait for Evan, Aaron, Helene and Sarah to have their 15 minutes of fame over. Now, Zora, I wish her all the best. She seems the most level headed and down to earth. Too bad Ryan doesn't have a 3rd brother for her. I heard Regis and Kelly are hooking up Brooke (Aaron's runner up) with Ryan's brother. |
Froggiegirl621 | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 09:55 am     The "hook-up" between Brooke and Ryan's brother happened on GMA, not Regis & Kelly...just to clarify. |
Sherbabe | Sunday, February 23, 2003 - 01:09 pm     whoops. sorry. i knew it was somewhere. |
Dahli | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 08:49 am     Poor Ryan's brother... |
Froggiegirl621 | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 08:58 am     lol...good one Dahli. I'm with you 100%!!! |
Seamonkey | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 11:29 am     Sarah was on Regis today and said that indeed they were told that it was a group of successful women to go to Europe and date, sort of a sex and the city and that they didn't know about Evan for three days after they arrived and then when he did they doubted the story.. some thought maybe he was being duped and thought he'd get huge money. But the idea of someone who inherited $50 million asking FOX to find him a woman seemed far-fetched. She claimed that the women all got along, she and Zora realy liked each other and that they weren't competitive over Evan, but that they had very competitive card games. She also said that most of them thought that Evan would end up with Zora, that they seemed to have more chemistry and she said at the very end, she was relieved that he didn't choose her. Do I believe all of that? ... naaah. |
Tabbyking | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 12:57 pm     so sarah went thinking it was a sort of 'sex and the city' kind of thing? doesn't sound so innocent that way, either, at least to me! LOL |
Grooch | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 01:03 pm     Is there a Joe Millionaire special on tonight? |
Moondance | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 01:07 pm     9:00 PM FOX The Aftermath 60 min. Fox offers one last cup of Joe as Evan Marriott finally sees the lady he lied to for love. We reunite Evan with his final selection for the first time since November, says producer Chris Cowan, explaining that the pair have been kept apart since filming the finale to protect the [show's] surprise. But Cowan believes that the time away---and what Evan has learned about his choice from watching the series---could cause Evan to question his decision. It should be interesting, he teases. Also included are reactions from the 19 passed-over ladies to the faux prince's secret, butler Paul Hogan's take on the romantic ruse and a segment on several guys who failed to make the Millionaire cut. |
Grooch | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 01:17 pm     Thanks, Moon. This could be real good. |
Fruitbat | Monday, February 24, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Well I am certainly interested in the guys that failed to make the cut! This could be scary. |
