Joe Millionaire

Just when we thought Fox couldn't sink any lower than "Temptation Island", "Who Wants To Marry a Multi-Millionaire?" and "American Idol" combined, along comes a show where a bunch of bubble-headed gold-digging bimbos compete to marry a so-called millionaire and then find out that's it's all a lie. Anybody who would subject themselves to that kind of humiliation deserves whatever they get. And to think that there was a time when there were actually GOOD shows on this perpetually pathetic channel. They only good shows they DO have are "The Simpsons", "Futrama", "Mad TV" and "America's Most Wanted". But if you like watching 100% supercrap, you'll love this latest atrocity known as "Mr. Personality".

Joe Millionaire is kind of like `The bachelor' with a catch. Evan, the bachelor is this case, is a regular Joe, who makes 19,000 a year, and who inherits 50 million dollars. But here's the catch, he hasn't actually inherited the money, and the female contestants believe that he has. And so the show is about these women trying to catch his affections, while each week he picks who he wants to stay. At the end, he will tell the one he picks the truth, and we will all find out if love or money prevails. I have watched a few episodes, and I have a confession to make. It's one of my guilty pleasures of life. Yeah yeah, it's reality TV, but for me and a lot of people out there enjoy watching it. It's not exactly quality television though; so if major quality is what you watch, then don't watch it. But if you want to see a new reality TV show for entertainment purposes, then I defiantly recommend this one.

It's June 1st. 2005. I saw Evan Marriott on t.v. the other day.He happened to be mentioning some of the mean things women say to him when they see him,because of him being on "Joe Millionaire" and not telling the truth about how much $$$'s he really make (or something to that effect). D**N! Get over it,girlz!You know you would have only wanted the money too. Not Evan.Or true love.Why is EVERYONE becoming so materialistic in this lifetime?You can't take the money with you when you die.And although a person can't completely live without some cash.I think it's a lot less lonely at night being held by true love's arms than by $$$. T.V. is acting,right? DUH! Personally,I'm thrilled for Evan. He bought his own construction company.Cool! I doubt he'll ever settle for less than true love.I hope all your dreams come true Evan! I hope you find the one who makes your heart smile.

A parody of THE BACHELOR, most episodes of JOE MILLIONAIRE are quite funny while the final episode is surprisingly moving. Evan Marriott's decency makes the cruel concept palatable. Unfortunately, the show does not fully explore the issues it raises about love, money, and honesty in relationships. At the very least, the program provides constant images of attractive people in beautiful settings, which is not the worst way to spend a few hours. Even by reality television standards, JOE MILLIONAIRE suffers from poor editing and storytelling.

I have to start by saying that I'm a great fan of reality tv (Survivor rules), and I was looking forward to this show. But the disappointment was big. Great idea, but made really boring. The girls are not pretty and have nothing great about them (for example the girls of Bachelor are much better). Evan, the main star, is boring as hell and the butler really ruins the show. If they do a follow-up I hope they change the concept!!!
