joeMILLIONAIRE

[zoobie]

I wanted to watch C.S.I. tonight but the ol' lady wanted to watch joeMILLIONAIRE.

This new gameshow lies to the 20 female contestants about an eligible bachelor who supposedly has 50 million dollars. The object is to find a woman to marry...then tell her the truth...that the bachelor's really a construction worker making $19,000 a year.

Freaky...ROTFLMAO

she's ready to rock!

I too wanted to watch CSI, but instead the family wanted to watch some sitcom. :angry2:

They advertise it on TV so much, the women already know.

They do? I'm pretty sure they'd filmed it in advance...

Or they are kept in cages in deserted islands on the pacific :biggrin2:

[Blank Verse]

Yeah, it's all filmed in advance. Although, seeing as everybody knows my disdain for Reality TV, me saying this should not come as a surprise. I'd have to say the women that sign up for these things can't be the brightest anyway, so if it was all in real time, and they still don't know, would anyone be surprised?

[Robert]

Those must be some really embarrasssed women right now.. hehe :p

[zoobie]

Actually, the bachelor has eliminated 15 of the 20 already. The women are probably relieved they weren't made fools of...

I'd like to see the show where women are kept in cages on a remote desert isle...ROTFLMAO

Smoking gun investigated into this guy.

He has another job. He's a professional model. Earns 300k a year. Globe hops all the time.

I think the main reason people watch these shows is the get the feeling of how superior they are to the people on the shows.

No dude, at least the girls watch this one b/c they think the guy is hot. Just like girls (well, the ones who don't love the story) watch LotR because they think Orlando (played Legolas), Elijah (played Frodo), or Viggo (played Aragorn) is hot. Or all three. Seriously, I'm a senior and there are two girls from my class who printed pages of pictures of Orlando & one put them up on her locker. By the way, there are only 50 people in my class... It's sad, if you ask me. :rolleyes:

[Archbob]

Hmm, thats just sad then...

[Blank Verse]

I can't imagine girls find them hot as Hobbits and whatnot...

[zoobie]

On the last episode, one of the girls eliminated was having a problem going back home. Granted, being picked for a millionaire 'hunk', being flown over to France, staying overnight in a castle, the next day shoveling crap out of a horse stall, then being told to go back home must be a bummer...and it showed. As the butler said, "I couldn't find her suitcase fast enough." Poor baby...She probably wanted to at least hang in Paris for a few days...but nooooooooo. Off you go, doof. :classic2:

Gold digging gets people in trouble all too often.

[zoobie]

I think they've been giving us clues the whole time:
The evidence:
1. It's been revealed that Evan Marriott modeled sexy underwear.
2. He attended the pricey private school, Hargrave Military Academy.
(Tuition this year is $19,950.) Evan dropped out his junior year because he didn't want to take the required government class.
3. What experienced construction worker makes just $19,000 a year, which comes down to $8 an hour?
4. His name IS "Marriott" and it's spelled exactly like the hotel empire.

My psychic powers predict that he'll choose his mate, tell her he's broke, then, on camera of course, reveal he actually IS the hier to the Marriott hotel empire thusly fooling almost all of us...except me of course. :D

And they lived happily ever after...:classic2:

heh, this joe millionaire ----'s coming to australian tv soon :(

There's so many reality tv shows on, it makes me sick.

[zoobie]

Ok...I think I've got it figured out. They've hinted that there's a really big surprise ending.

Here's what happens:

We've seen Evan get really upset and call the producer at 2 in the morning to air is grief about the show so I believe Evan's really broke. However...

Evan picks his winner...the blonde. He then sits her down to tell her the truth...that he's really a construction worker making $19,000 a year. She doesn't quite know what to think...Now, here's the kicker...

The producer comes in and says "Well, that's not entirely all true, Evan....You've just inherited several million dollar$!"...and it's the truth.

...and they lived happily ever after...until the divorce. :cool:

[byrdgirl13]

But they set it up to sound like he'll pick the blonde...and last time they set it up against that brunette, she stayed. I think he picks her. Otherwise, sure, cheesy lame ending like that.
