Hooty.. the first episode repeats on Thursday night this week..

As for those tolllboothes.. just the other day in the paper someone mentioned that sometimes the machines don't add up all the change correctly and this person wondered what would happen since they had no more money and would be getting a fine letter in the mail.. so.. perhaps Evan was just caught short in that way? (this was about the exact toll road he was on) I dunno..

Who else thought that Alex McCleod must have performed so badly as the "hostess" that Fox edited in narration from Jeeves and left in as little of Alex as possible to fufill the contract? Whew, holy run on question! She could not have been any more stiff!

About the horseback riding. I read people here talking about his "bouncing up and down" as the horse was trotting (I'll admit I haven't gone through the archives and read every post). But, wasn't he just "posting?" I believe that's what it's called in English style riding. Or are you talking about something else? I did notice when the horse went from a canter to a trot, he bounced all over the saddle, and it really did look like he was about to go a different direction than the horse. But then it looked like he got it under control just in time.

Clp, that's a good theory. I couldn't believe how bad Alex was!

Who, yes, he was TRYING to post and doing a darned poor job of it. lol However, for a guy who had never been on a horse before, he did okay. Learning English-style riding takes some time. :)

I was wondering about the bouncing myself. I was wondering if it was because he didn't know how to ride a horse or was he doing it on purpose.

i thought alex was stiff and awful. it makes me wonder how bad she'll be in the show with cooper in hawaii? i always liked paige davis better on 'trading spaces', but i have never seen alex as bad as she was on 'millionaire'. it did seem she had very, very few appearances. thank God, they have the delightful man who buttles! lol

what movie was that where someone asked the butler what he did and the butler replied, "why, sir, i buttle." ???

Alex was awful is right! She was boring on trading spaces and now she stinks on this. She is a beautiful girl, but show host... nope. She was more like a robot than a host. Hopefully they will use the butler more than her. I enjoyed him. Paul Hogan, wasn't that Crockadile Dundee's name?

I hate to admit it, but I really enjoyed watching these gold diggers... although a few seemed genuine. It was so funny to watch their big grins and hear them giggling when they heard about the inheritance. "Oh! It's like a fairy tale!"smilebulgeeyes I especially liked the one that said she was a banker and she could help him know what to do with his money. I believe that was Heidi-ho. They all keep saying I want someone who is honest and ambitious.. and money doesn't hurt. How funny! He is lying to them, admits old girlfriends have said he's not ambitious enough, and there's no money!

I liked how Amanda said he was very smooth, not cheesy smooth but good smooth, right after the clip of him getting on the horse! ROFLOL
His fumbling, my middle name... uh, uh-well uh, where do I live... uh, kinda in between places, what do I do... doing-uh, sss--ya know I don't know... was hysterical! If these girls had met him in a bar with those answers they wouldn't give him a second glance.

Did anyone else catch the clip about an upcoming show on fox... married by america!? Ok, now that is taking things a bit too far. 2 strangers married by a phone poll!?! gimme a break!smileshakehead

The women applied to a Bachelor type show. They were told he recently inherited 50 mil shortly after they arrived. That puts a slightly different tilt on things. They did not apply in hopes of landing a millionaire. Though history has shown that the Bachelors were well heeled so it was a good assumption that there would be a successful man in the picture.

I think Evan is sweet and I do believe he is sincere in his distress about lying. It would be hard for anyone but a sociopath.

I find it strange that he admitted, in an interview, that he did not know what the woman he chose was doing. That certainly dampens the entire premis.

fruit, i agree--why would he let us know already that it doesn't work out with his choice? at least, that's the way it appears, if he doesn't know what she's doing now.... if they had a future together, wouldn't he know about her?

"why would he let us know already that it doesn't work out with his choice?"

Because he's not quick enough on his feet to think of a deceptive answer during the interview! LOL This guy is cute, but seems like a 25-watt bulb in a 60-watt world. :)

<<I find it strange that he admitted, in an interview, that he did not know what the woman he chose was doing. That certainly dampens the entire premis>>

I agree Bat, this is extremely odd on several different levels.

It already gives away that there was no fairy tale ending. I realize the chances are slim on a show like this, but this info puts any chance of that out the window and we have only seen the first episode. And why would he be allowed by FOX to give this info out anyway? I would think they would keep up the pretense of an exciting ending, even if it was hohum for him in real life.

It sounds like in the end, none of the girls were really to his liking but he had to pick one for the show.

Really, I don't understadn why these women were so "Money's great" and smiling and having shit-eating-grins on their faces at the words "50 Million."

Who cares really if he has that much?

That's almost too much money, I mena, if he actually had 50 million, that means he's set for life, his kids would be set for life, Heck, his grand-kids would be set for life, adn he wouldn't even have to do a thing.

That's too easy to me.

I just don't understand why they, and people in general, put so much empiesis(sp?) on moeny.
Sure, it be nice to have alot so your life wouldn't be so hard but..

I don't know.
I'd just go to have fun and meet people and see a new place.
I could care less if they told me he had that money or not.

I got to thinking. Maybe the women were told to oooh and aaaah over the castle. They really were just a little too "squealy" about it all. I mean, arne't these "modern" women?

What makes me laugh is some of the women saying they want a man who is ambitious yet they are going to fall over THIS guy? He isn't even pretending to be ambitious, he is pretending to be a regular Joe who *fell* into money. :) And they keep talking about how SMOOTH he is? RFLMAO!!!! Ya, as smooth as 50 mill makes you appear to be. LOL

Neko. I know they haven't really shown much interaction btn Evan and the women on an individual basis, but..... if I knew the guy had 50 million? One of the first conversations we had would find it's way to philanthropy. If he didn't work a lick for this money and has been doing nothing but riding horses and living in castles all over the world (didn't he say he didn't live in one particular place during the ball?) then my interest in him would quickly turn to boredom. "Those to whom much is given, much is expected." Don't know who said that or even if I quoted it correctly, but it's a pretty good maxim to live your life by. LOL So far, rich or not... our Joe seems fairly shallow and not that bright. :)

I found this show hilarious..I just laughed and laughed at how absolutely stupid these women looked on TV..I could not stand the one who took 2 dresses (heidi?)..but the girl who ended up with the blue dress looked absolutely stunning that night..

I hope Heidi wins..lol..serve her right..lol

"Heidi..I choose you..you win..will you marry me..oh..by the way..I only make 19G a year"

She'd run!!

Personally I do not see anything wrong with wealth. It makes a lot of things easier. There is a notion in some cultures within our society that money is bad and wrong. I think it would be glorious.

No Fruitbat there is nothing wrong with wealth..whether one works very hard and earns it or is lucky enough to win the lottery or inherit..

but there is something wrong with cetain ways that a few engage in to obtain it..

Back to Mr. Millionaire 'not' knowing what his choice has been doing. The Bachelorette said she will not see her choice until after the show airs. Now I don't remember if it was after the first show or the end of the show. This could be part of the deal or contract. With edit. we don't really know 'when' JOE said this do we? Just a few thoughts on the subject. Alex? I don't even remember her,I do remember the butler and thought he was the host and wondered why we didn't see more of him as I found him a good solid addition to the rather thin substance of the other participants and segments we saw. I'd have to rank it a 4 or 5 at best on a scale of 1 to 10. Mods if you want to paragraph anytime I post feel free and accept my thanks(and others too betcha)!!! LOL

i saw the end of an interview w/ joe not-millionaire, and he was asked if he was ready to settle down and he said NO! he added, 'i'm not financially where i want to be yet.'

but the quick 'no' was unambiguous. i don't think this worked out romantically at all, and it made me sad that he mentioned money as a reason why he's not ready.
