A lot of people you see on reality shows and dating shows are wanna-be actors/actress's......she must have got lucky enough to actually get a paying gig.

As for the rumor about [spoiler]Zora being a millionaire[/spoiler}, I find all too conveniant that one of the two he ended up with (of 25) would be
Spoiler:
the rich one
. That kind of thing would be near impossible to rig if he had any autonomy at all in making picks of women.

Will this TV show be a big mess like "Who Wants to Marry A Millioniare" that Fox aired a few years ago?

I just heard this rumor also. It must be true. I will be tuned in!

perhaps joe isn't picking them at all. it is paul the butler than announces their names, perhaps he's doing the choosing.

Here's how it goes down:

Spoiler:
Evan picks Sarah, tells her he is a heavy equipment operator, no money, yada yada and gives her the choice of accepting him for who he is or walking. Evan then waits for his decision, more recaps...Fetish girl thinks about the her future career, would want to end the show on a high note - dump him after the show/$ opportunites die. She goes to him to accept, and Paul throws in a monkey wrench - get married on the show and for doing this they will receive Fox's wedding present -one million dollars.

Aftermath show week after is about the honeymoon/what the other girls are doing now.

You know Joe and Sarah agree to break after all this and split the cash. Or the marriage isn't declared legal in France anyway. Win win for all. Fox probably was filiming Jane Millionaire at the same time, hedging on success/inability to duplicate scenario.




Or not...

If all the girls are actresses then the joke is on Evan? What's the point? That doesn't make the show interesting but I guess Fox doesn't care since we've all been watching anyway.

I heard a rumor that they filmed 4 joe millionaires at the same time, because they'll never be able to do it again.

If Melissa M was in on it, she's a fantastic actress!

Here's how it should end:

Spoiler:
The lie that has been "eating Evan's brain" goes beyond simply making him one of the most moronic men on tv and eats so much that he forgets to breath and then dies. Sarah goes into his wallet, hoping to buy herself one last present with his credit card. She soon discovers that the closest thing to a credit card that he has is the fake cardboard card that came with his wallet. Sarah realizes that he poor and decides not to mourn his loss while Zora skips off into the woods to talk to the deer and squirrels.


But I could be wrong.

I think it's pretty obvious what the twist will be, and I haven't even been watching the show:

Spoiler:
Sarah is really Keyser Soze, and Zora is his childhood sled

From the previews running now, they make it sound like Evan doesn't know what the surprise is. If that is the case, I would believe them
Spoiler:
them all being actresses. Ina couple of articles that I have read about girls that got booted, they were all described as aspiring actresses as well
.

I guess that we will find out tonight!

As I stated before, I did see
Spoiler:
Zora on the Lonestar Steakhouse commercial that actually runs during the show, so it's quite possible that they've been playing Evan the entire time, damn, that'd be sweet, even though Evan seems to be a good sport about it because he showed up on American Idol 2 weeks ago.

Um, isn't that the reason most people go on reality TV -- to start up some kind of acting career? I'd be more surprised if they didn't do the show for a reason like that.

They're either looking for money (likely), love (eh...), or fame/career (likely).

If they can parlay their 10 seconds of fame into some TV spots or a bit gig, then good work. If they all turn out to be actresses and the joke's on Evan, then that would be collosally stupid and worthless.

The surprise is that the entire show was scripted from the start!

There is some justice in the idea that the show is scripted. The ones embarassed are the ones who knew that the thing was a con and decided to invest anyway-- Evan and us the viewers. But I agree it'd be a royal up yours by Fox to the viewing public, and would jeopardize any other reality show they would do.

They don't get a million each, they split a million between them.

Yep, they split the money. Zora finally gives Joe a tongue kiss.

What did Sarah do to Joe in the woods? The whispering was cryptic, but it seemed like it still might have been a BJ.

It seemed like she was pissed at him for lying ect. Since I didn't watch the show, I couldn't tell you.

Actually I thought the ending was somewhat predictable. The only doubts I had was if Zora would actually show up for the ring. The part about bringing back Melissa to help Sara pack was pretty good also.
