Journal FortKnox's Journal: Joe Millionaire 24
OK, I'm addicted to fox reality shows (well, 'who wants to marry a millionaire' wasn't one I watched, but I'm guilty as charged when you talk about 'murder in smalltown X' and 'temptation island').
Anywho, I was watching yesterday while putting on a new bandage (went with 'bandaid fingertips', which absolutely stink. It took 6 bandaids to get one that stuck on right). Anywho, at the end my wife keeps yelling 'why is he keeping Zora again!' The answer is simple. Zora is the only one that can handle the fact that he's poor. He likes her and is trying his absolute hardest to get her to like him back. Trust me folks, it'll come down to Zora and Sara, and Zora will win. Plus Zora has the best body and isn't a 'sorority girl' like sara and melissa.
And what's up with all the sex? Geeeeez... there are some slutty girls on the show.
So does anyone else watch that show?

I wanted to. (Score:2)
I'm not too big of a fan of most of the reality shows coming out, but Joe Millionair had a nice aspect to it: Suprise. Seeing how women react when they realise they're going to be displayed as a golddigger has to be interesting.

I was wondering about all the sex as well. Did they really need to put in subtitles? (Slurp, "ahh, hee hee", 'mmmmm'
Anyway I do agree, I think that it will be down to Zora and the 'sorority' chick. Zora does seem more real not superficial. (Atleast not nearly as much).

Anyway, melissa seems like shes in for the money (as does sara, but not as much), and that's why I think she'll be the next to go.
Sara and him get along, but I think she's in for the money also... we'll have to see.

Anyway, I agree with you guys about Zora. The ironic thing is that having all that money thrown at her is actually putting off -- she'd be a lot more relaxed and trusting if they were just going to a bar for buffalo wings.
My wife's favorite line was Melissa's: "I don't mind that Evan likes to drink beer and go to Hooters -- I can change that."
Meanwhile, "BrideZillas" was also great television. This is why Fox does so well in the spring. All their idiotic sit-coms have failed and they're forced to put on all the stuff that they thought was too tasteless to show.
Nope. (Score:2)
I don't watch TV (well, very rarely) (Score:2)
I don't say that just to sound holier than thou, I mean I really don't watch TV. It is my opinion that there is nothing really worth watching besides live international news coverage which happens rarely (once or twice a year).
I do occasionally gathering with friends to watch sporting events such as football and hockey but those are social occasions with the game on TV as a participant, not the focus.
I understand that people enjoy watching TV for various reasons and I am not putting any of those down.. TV just isn't for me.
No, sorry (Score:2)

Oh yea, I think the main reason I don't watch that show is because . . . I'M STRAIGHT! hehehe
My theory about these shows (Score:2)
My prediction for the show that will do this is the upcoming "American Candidate" show on FX, which appears to be basically a version of American Idol, except instead of choosing someone to get a major record deal, viewers choose someone to make a major presidential campaign. It's just so extreme, and potentially so huge, and the reality stuff has been going full-force for so many years now that I think this is where it will all implode.
Personally, I hope so. Sure, Joe Millionaire has some entertaining spots, as well as American Idol, but I'd sacrifice those if it meant shows like Fear Factor would be wiped from existence.

Sometimes people doing funny stuff for money is entertaining, but I think a weekly show based around it is pretty lame, especially when it is only rewarding people who go through horrible, pointless things.
Obviously lots of people watch Fear Factor so many would disagree, which is fine. If people want the show, there it is. I just hope these shows become less popular so that there isn't such a dearth of non-reality-tv shows.

I find the two points of view really amusing... like where he'll be like "it was an absolutely awful date" and the girl will say "I really felt we were connecting, it was an awesome date".
I hope they've been taping the girls' reactions to seeing the show...

If you like this, may I suggest Shipmates and Blind Date? Both excel at this sort of thing.

Your point being?
The two smokers are also bitchy. Thus, they're bitchy smokers.

So, which one got dumped last night? Is Sara the one with the kinky black hair?
Personally, I like Zora the most, for the reasons you stated. She seems the most real. She wasn't (last week) willing to throw out all of her dirty laundry. She's got secrets, doesn't know this guy well, and isn't going to open up just for the money.
Secretly, I was hoping that the blond banker (Heidi?) would have won the whole thing. She would certainly have had the best reaction to the 'truth'.
Guess I'll catch the Thursday repeat.

Of course, since we foisted 'The Weakest Link' and 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' on the rest of the world, we in the UK can't really preach on the subject of reality TV...
