Jesus christ, Fox has sunk to a new level with their reality TV with this nonsense.

And I'm willing to embrace it with open arms.

Okay. I saw the promos for this and I blew it off. But after reading what it's about, I'm THERE baby. When's the premiere?

I hoping it would be a really really ugly and obnoxious multi-millionaire. I think it would be FAR more entertaining to see these gold diggers go through the motions when they knew what they were getting into.

This will be good though.

The only thing that sucks now is that the very last episode will be the only one worth watching.

No, no... You have to watch all the episodes to see all the girls talk about how it's "true love" & then to see their reactions when they get eliminated & find out the truth.

There's going to be some serious hypocrisy going on in this show.

Hee hee hee. I might pay this one some minimal attention, but I'll definitely catch the last episode.

I still won't watch it, but still...



Of course, you know what the woman's excuse will be (assuming she doesn't go through with it). She'll say "Well if he isn't honest with me now, how can I expect him to be honest with me in teh future".

You know.....I saw the commercial the other day and I thought, "yet another Fox lame rip-off of a successful network formula with the typical Fox sleaze." (a mouthful, I know)

But now that i know the secret....it sounds hilarious!

I also liked the part of the article that said something about "one-time only". You know if this is successful, Fox will find some way to repackage it after a different model and try to fool them again. Or one of the other networks will do something similar. It's going to be the newest thing in reality shows..."Do I really get the prize money?".

if they want to retool it again, just switch it up. 50 guys going after 1 super model hot chick...just to find out shes nasty. i dunno how they can do that, but they can (makeup does wonders).

i would love to read the agreement the ladies had to sign before going on the show. god knows how many times it says "fox waives its responsibility if..."

They could have done this more than once, if they never announced the first one. They could have done it 5 times, and then aired one per year. They could have kept taping it multiple times until the secret was blown. Oh you crazy network executives don't think.

When I saw the Joe Millionaire commercial, my first guess was that he's gay. My second guess was that he's a woman in drag.
