Out of the Blue

I think my brother hit it on the head about this Joe Millionaire show... the only episode you really need to watch is when they decide to ultimately come clean about the scam... I wonder what it is they are paying this Joe anyway... too much and he comes too close to the rich guy he's not supposed to be, so I guess the whole thing just appeals to his (and others') sadistic side.

21. He has Money? Jan 8, 2003, 11:09 Steelcamp
 
I heard on the radio this morning that the guy really has money but FOX wants to do the double wammy on the chicks/golddiggers and the audience. they will tell the chicks/bitches/prostitues that he is poor then see what the reaction is, Then when things are settled and we find out if the ho he picked cared about money or not, then FOX springs it on her and us that he is rich and it was all a goof.....

I read somewhere that the guy is also a model who flies around the world on modeling jobs - and if that's true it means we're all being lied to as much as the girls - $19,000 a year my ass.

Although I want to tell you that male modeling is hard work - I remember one time while I was shooting a Speedo ad on the beach in Rio and the water was so cold that it was almost uncomfortable! But I digress...

Probably these women are just as desirious of the fame and glory that would come from "winning" as they are of having a shot at those fictional millions.

I agree. I'd bet most of these women all have aspirations of show biz glory of some kind and see this as a good first step... which it very well could be.

And I still say that having the guy look the way he does takes most of the fun out of the show. Think of it this way: you're "won" in a charity bachelor auction by a rich women who looks like Shania Twain (my personal definition of womanly perfection). She later tells you she's really not rich. Would any of us dump her on the spot? Hell no, we'd just tell her she's been very naughty and needs a good...

sorry, almost got carried away there

Of course I could be wrong... but really, what are the chances of that happening twice?

Hey there's nothing wrong with greed!
Now lying to a bunch of women and helping Fox make a tv show is VERY EVIL.
Here's some predictions of shows FOX/MTV might make in the future,
"Did the Holocaust really happen?"
"Who wants to marry a turtle?"
"Hot and Wild News women!"
"WoT, Directed by Steven Spielberg" Canceled after 1 year however.

Cannabis linked to Biblical healing...

Strangely ironic in many ways.. If jesus used cannabis to heal people, then our laws based on "Christian values" are sort of stabbing its inspirer in the back, but then again if Jesus didnt actually use "miracles" to heal people, the bible is somewhat inaccurate and it may not be a wise thing to base our laws on it at all..

Just at thought, I have many more wierd ones

What the fuck are you talking about? I had it on in the background, but every time I looked up I saw nothing but hotties. I usually consider myself pretty damn picky, to boot. But, maybe I did miss some? I don't know.

Its so funny to see these girls they are so gullible. The guy is so nervious and such a bad liar but they don't even know. Some of the girls are cute, I would give a few an 8 or 9 perhaps, maybe a 9.5, but most were uglier than sin.

Better provider = better chance for offspring survival.

Totally correct. That's why it's nice to know the women that are cursed with a caveman brain in there pretty little skulls. If that's what's socially important in the year 2003 then they deserve what they get... absolutely nothing.

The more money involved, the more rubbery morals tend to get. Most people would be a little less than scrupulous in competing for a babe worth 50 mil or so.
Hot babe is one thing. Hot babe with mucho dinero is something else entirely.
Goldigging is built into most chicks through evolution. It's a survival trait.
Better provider = better chance for offspring survival.

I don't know if it's greed that makes the women act that way, or just competition. I've seen plenty of bad behavior on those Blind Date-Singled Out-Rejected shows, where the only thing at stake was a date with a bartender. Probably these women are just as desirious of the fame and glory that would come from "winning" as they are of having a shot at those fictional millions.

I hope that the next 6 episodes (I hear there are only 7 total) employ more situations like the dress fiasco that really illuminates what some of these chicks are willing to do for a chance at $50MM. If the "point" of this show (and I realize I am pushing it that there may actually be a point) is to seperate the gold-diggers from the snow whites then the producers better have a few tricks up their sleves (ie the manuer shoveling next week).

I also like the way that the chicks interpreted this guy's buffoonery into things like "charming, grounded", etc. Its a sad commentary on the importance women place on money when picking mates.

The show seems pretty dumb, as do all the people taking part in it. The only possible good I can see coming out of this is that there may end up being a Playboy "Girls of Joe Millionaire" spread sometime after the show finishes

Actually last night's episode was pretty good.

I got a total kick from watching the gold diggers fight over the dresses. What's funny is that all the women are "professionals". So they act all educated and high minded but when they have to fight for a fricken dress they all turn into weasels.

Simply put it shows the ugly side of greed... oh wait that's the only side of greed to show. hehe.

EDIT: Thanks JM.
