When the one chick (Olinda I think, the one that looks dreadful for "26") said "I wasn't born yesterday", was I the only one who said "No kidding. I had you written down for 1963?"

After two episodes, I'm done with this one. Unfortunately, my wife is enjoying it.
David is a nice guy, but this is painful to watch. Plus, those freakin' bells at "suspenseful" moments are waaaay over used.

Caught the re-air of the first episode tonight.

This guy is such a blaring idiot. I like how he was like "Berlin, isn't that like the capitol or something?"

Those girls are going to eat him alive. I love how they all just stared at him when they said his horse got flown over. This show is such a disaster. I gotta watch the new episode tonight.

That wasn't a re-air of the first episode, it was brand new. In the first episode, Paul briefed him on all the capitals, so it's pretty much the only thing he knows about those countries.

After about 35 minutes, I couldn't take it anymore. I deleted it and deleted my Replay Channel for it. No more. I love reality shows, particularly the dating ones, but this was unwatchable.

I'm not watching this again. They had a chance to get it right and they still didn't tell the three women who had to leave that he wasn't really rich! The whole point of this show should be to see these women get upset when they aren't selected and then see the woman who is sobbing after she didn't get chosen, saying things like, "I thought we were meant for each other. I loved him!" Then to find out he's dirt poor and watch them laugh their ass off and let out a big sigh of relief.

I checked this out for the first time last night, and it was honestly painful to watch. The guy they have on the show is anything but smooth, I don't think any girl would really be naivee enough to believe he is rich. Only a few girls were really hot, but most of them seemed off in some way - I don't know how to explain it, but I wasn't impressed. I can honestly say that I never saw one minute of Joe Millionaire 1, but the second show is horrible and I won't be wasting my time with it.

Just so you know, we're ashamed the new Joe Millionaire is from Texas.

There are some fugly chicks on this show. What's up with the chick last nite looking totally bored with her arms crossed during the jewelry giveaway? That's the way to win someone over, show your bitter piss-face to the whole world.

I think this guy is a TERRIBLE liar, which isn't that surprising considering how dense he is. I don't hate this edition, but it's just missing something. And I agree on the Woody comparison, although he *really* reminds me of Woody from Cheers.

I guess I like cringe TV because I will keep tuning in. That Olinda chick is beyond annoying and I don't find her attractive at all either. Maybe she does not film well or something because he must be crazy to have a positive view of her. Cat is my favorite of all the chicks physically, but you really can't tell much about her personality so far. The only thing Olinda was good for was pointing out how nice her breasts are so the cameraman could take a nice lingering shot of them. Personality wise I would go with Giada who seems the nicest, but you can't give too many personality points if you're on the show. The other Italian chick is way too over the top for me.

I was shocked when he didn't pick Karolina, but at least he had a decent reason although I don't think that scenario is really relevant in a situation like this.

Again I have to say that I am shocked he kept Olinda especially after she pretty much mocked his religion. He even looked annoyed, but he still kept her around? Mind-boggling.

So wait, you agree with the girl that said he looks like Woody Harrelson, but you actually think he looks more like Woody from Cheers?

Also, why don't they believe he flew his horse over? I'd sure do that if I had $80 million and really liked my horse.

I think he means his personality reminds him of Woody on Cheers.

Oh, btw, to the person who said the girls have typical negative ugly american attitudes when they heard he was from Texas... no, they got that attitude when they heard he was a cowboy. This is hard to explain to someone who doesn't know anything about what a "cowboy" is. To them, it's something thought of as being in the US's past.

For example, in Canada, our police force is called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but to most people, that means the mountie on the horse who wears the red coat. In actual fact, they're not like that, they are regual police officers, that's a sterotype of the past. Samething with the cowboy. They were thinking of the kind of guy John Wayne plays. That's why the girls refered to hearing he was a cowboy as a joke, they didn't know what the hell was going on. Add in that the whole "macho" attitude is generally thought of as undesirable in many Europian countries...

But of course, for money, who cares, they'll marry a guy who kills Indians

This show has to have the most and longest (almost 4 min.) commercial breaks!! I watch this while on a treadmill so I really notice the amount of time Fox spends pushing it's other shows.

It will be interesting to see how FOX now handles JM2. The ratings suck, but unlike scripted shows, they can't just axe it now that it has started. I wonder if they might bury it in some loser timeslot. Perhaps they may re-edit it to pick up the pace so they can reach the ending more quickly.

The ratings still suck? that's pretty odd. I wouldn't have guessed that, I guess people had enough the first time.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I'm loving this season better than the first. Those girls crack me up.

I wish Johanna had stayed. I never got tired of her eye rolling and dirty looks.

It's too bad the most entertaining ones are always the first to go.

I was sort of surprised that both Karolina and Tereza got the boot. Tereza got the boot for mentioning the money first (lame reason). David was scared that Karolina would inhibit Linda if Karolina was still there. Whatever.

My jaw dropped when David had favorable things to say about Olinda (who I view as a gold digger). Oh, Cat looked damn good in the bathing suit. Yowza!
