Neko | Thursday, January 02, 2003 - 07:02 pm     Smoking Gun is scary!! LOL How DO they find all this stuff out?!?! |
Seamonkey | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 04:43 pm     Monday night, baby!! Our local paper (he seems to live around here) had a blurb with nothing of much use, just friends saying he won't talk about it at all, but they thought it fit his personality to go on this show and they thought he'd get some opportunities from this. |
Jhezzie | Sunday, January 05, 2003 - 06:22 pm     Oh goody! I see familiar faces from the BB board. I'm glad you guys are going to watch. I was torn about this show at first, but then I figured if these ladies sharpened their shovels and smiled pretty for the camera, then the least I can do is watch them dig (and smile), lol. |
Kaili | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:23 am     So tonight is the big night... I never watched the bachelor or Who Wants to Marry a millionaire or any of those, but this might be interesting. Not really my interest though if it plays out the same as the other shows. I will like it if he has side comment segments. Otherwise I may only bear watching the last episode or two- when the secret is revealed. Haha. |
Twinkie | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 05:22 am     I just don't think this guy is attractive at all. He really needs a hair stylist and a good scrubbing and his face is not symmetrical or pleasing to look at or something. Can't quite put my finger on it. Plus, I think this show is degrading to women as are the previous Bachelor shows. It says that women are shallow and only go for looks and/or money. I'm sorry but that's not the criteria I go by. |
Weenerlobo | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 06:12 am     I'm gonna tune in, just because I like roadkill, hence my addiction to reality TV. I gotta agree with all of those above who have mentioned this guy's hair. Every time I see a commercial I just wanna grab some shears and lop that mop right off. |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 06:25 am     I think there is going to be a double twist at the end of this show. At some point when the numbers are down the women will be told he is poor and the 6 or 4 or whatever left make the decision to stay or go. The remaining women will have shown they are there for love and not the money. The final woman chosen will then be informed that he is, indeed, wealthy. |
Ladytex | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 07:01 am     I don't think I'll watch until the twist is revealed. Before that it'll probably be just like the bachelor crap. |
Fluff | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 07:48 am     Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't wait.... |
Grooch | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 07:57 am     I'm with Fluff, I'm with Fluff, I'm with Fluff, ... |
Schoolmarm | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 09:04 am     Well, I'll be there to watch this train wreck! He was on Regis and Kelly today and told about his "finishing schooling". He seems like a really nice guy. |
Pamy | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 10:00 am     I am going to watch, but I am thinking the only one I will really need to watch is the last one, just to see the look of the girls faces. Also someone brought up, this would have been a better test had the guy been a real nerd |
Neko | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 11:49 am     Me and my friends (At least 2 of them) will be watching it tonight and chat about it tommorrow. LOL I'll get some other POV's lol |
Fruitbat | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:20 pm     I am with Grooch, Grooch, Grooch who is with Fluff, Fluff, Fluff. |
Jeep | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:24 pm     I agree with Fruitbat. I think there is more to this than what they let on. A double twist would be great! I'll be watching tonight, too. I sure hope they do it someway to keep it interesting all the way through. Isn't it just 7 shows? |
Hermione69 | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:31 pm     Am I the only one that likes his guy's hair? I think it is super sexy hair! I love shaggy 'dos! I almost mentioned his hair in the Hair! thread as an example of hair that I love, but I got too caught up talking about the men in LOTR and forgot. This guy is originally from Virginia Beach, VA and I grew up in Hampton which is close enough that I spent lot of time in Virginia Beach, especially as a teenager. Makes it a little more interesting for some odd reason. If nothing else, I'll enjoy reading what people here have to say! |
Webkitty | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:31 pm     I agree with Fruitbat too. I think the construction job is just a cover. Wasn't he a model? I bet he has million dollar contract lined up as part of the deal for being choosen to do this. (or something along those lines) I sure he's not worth 50 mil or he would have been listed in who's who or Forbes or something. (unless he won the lottery) |
Webkitty | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:33 pm     Oh Herm! I want to agree with you so much, but this guys hair drives me nuts! sorry <slinks off> |
Jeep | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:35 pm     Herm, don't feel alone.....I like his hair, too! |
Realfan | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 12:36 pm     <<They have been told this man has 50 million dollars. I think it will be impossible to tell what any of them were after, other than the winner. Some may be bold and speak out others may claim it was for love to save face. >> I know, Fruit, but I mean are they going to be told he's anxious to be married? Or just interested in meeting pretty women? Will they be told he fell into his millions recently? That sort of thing. I guess we'll find out tonight. The fact he blew through a tolll booth doesn't prove he has no money, but that he has no respect for toll booths! I would love a double twist. Great idea, Fruit. We'll see if Fox is that clever. |
Grooch | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 02:20 pm     From the NY Post OUTFOXED LADIES By MONICA KHEMSUROV -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HUNK OF BUNK: Alison is one of 20 women on a new reality show vying to land "millionaire" model Evan Marriott, a k a Joe Construction Worker. January 5, 2003 -- Tomorrow night, the world will tune in to catch the latest see-love-bloom-on-camera reality show: "Joe Millionaire" on Fox. But one New Yorker will be watching with trepidation. Alison, a 28-year-old graphics specialist and part-time actress, was whisked from the city last year - along with 19 other lucky ladies - to a chateau in France to be wooed by Evan Marriott. Marriott, a k a Joe Millionaire, was supposed to be every girl's dream: 28, 6-foot-plus and a part-time model who had caught the eye of photographer Bruce Weber. But Alison soon learned there was a twist. "I didn't find out about the $50 million until we were already in France," she said, referring to the show's premise that the ladies would be under the mistaken impression that the man they're fighting over had just inherited a pile of dough. In fact, Marriott is an L.A. construction worker pulling in $19,000 a year. Alison said she merely thought the trip and the manhunt sounded fun. Last year, "My friend sent me an e-mail about a casting-call party," she said. "All it said was ‘Looking for true love in an exotic locale?' They were fun, upbeat and looking for smart people who were adventurous. I'm all those things. I thought it would be an experience, in terms of meeting people, traveling and getting used to being in front of a camera." And she said she was overdue to fall in love. "If I can find love at all, why not on a TV show?" After the $50 million twist came to light, she said she was suspicious - and became a little on-guard. "The gold-digging thing - something I perceived as soon as they announced the $50 million - it turned me off. "Money doesn't play a role in whom I choose to date," she added, "though I've never dated a construction worker - certainly not one who made $19,000. That's a difficult type of person to meet in New York." So she hung in there. "The [$50 million] story sounded kind of far-fetched and hokey, but I put that aside and tried to judge Evan solely on personality and whether we could make a connection." The show's executive producer, Jean-Michel Michenaud, said Alison can rest easy. "Making fun of the girls is certainly not the goal. I don't think [the show] necessarily leads you to snicker. The show takes a fairy-tale premise - a prince-and-pauper kind of thing - and says, ‘What if you put that in the real world, how do these things really end?'" While she won't reveal anything juicy either, Alison will say she's still in touch with co-stars. "Having done it, I probably wouldn't do it again, but I'm still in touch with all the women from the show. They're a great bunch, no matter how we come across in the end." |
Ketchuplover | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:36 pm     She found out before? I thought nobody knew. Did I read that wrong? |
Ketchuplover | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:45 pm     That Evan looks like Ben Affleck who will star as DAREDEVIL in the DAREDEVIL movie. crosses fingers that this post won't get the axe |
Realfan | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:54 pm     Good article, Grooch. Seems they WEREN'T up front with the women. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for, when I posted my questions about what the women were told when being recruited. Kinda nasty if you ask me. Putting them in the position of being made fun of for being gold-diggers, when they didn't go into this expecting to hook up with a millionaire? Man, that's annoying! I don't think the exec producer really knows the story of the Prince and the Pauper, either. |
Realfan | Monday, January 06, 2003 - 04:57 pm     Ketchup, she found out after starting the show that he had $50 million--supposedly. That's how I read it, the twist being he was rich (and we know he's not.) |
