Its turning out to be this way
Think NBC will churning out anymore of these (after the one starting in a few weeks)? Aren't potential women contestants going to be wise to the concept now? I guess they could reverse it and make an "Average Jane," but we all know guys are shallow.

Seems people were pretty pissed at the ending of this one. I remember watching all of "Joe Millionaire 1" and feeling like I wasted my time when I watched the last show. Needless to say, I didn't return for a second helping.

And my last memory of Fabio is: "I can't believe it's not butter...spray."

I think I understand why Larissa picked Gil over Brian. Don't get me wrong, I also would like Larissa to pick Brian at the end. But I think I can see why she would pick Gil by putting myself in her shoe for a second. First of all, she entered the show and was duped into dating joes (remember a scene in the first episode where she was very upset about it), then she sees that the producers duped joes by introducing hunks, and finally, they duped all the guys by putting Larissa in heavy makeup. If I were her, I wouldn't trust anyone in the show. Even though Brian was pouring his heart out to her (on national TV no less), if you were her, would you believe him knowing what stunts the producers have already pulled? I would be very skeptical too. So when it come down to picking between someone who pour his heart out in front of camera versus someone who is very guarded with his emotion while on tv, she picked someone who is more reserved. That is totally understandable. I would've done the same given the same set of circumstances.

It's tough watching her pick a jock over a joe. But I can totally see why she would do that in this case.

That was the stupidest thing ever. I thought she was going to say that she used to be a man or something. The Fabio thing was worthless although I guess it does say that she was destined to pick the hunk after dating fabio.

After watching the first season, the wife & I decided to record the first episode, the first episode with the "hunks", and the last episode. With the PVR, we probably spent an hour and a half, total, on this season, which was plenty.

We will tune in for The Return of Adam though. That looks like it could be funny. An average joe (who, I assume, all the women know from the first show) gets to make out with all of them and of course, he'll choose the nice one and not the hottest one...

The Fabio ending was NOT a surprise... she talked about it on The Tonight Show last Friday.

The surprise was Gil's reaction to her being with Fabio in her past.

My last memory of Fabio is when he was on the rollercoaster and got hit in the face by a seagul or something like that.

Average Joe 3 speculation!
From the previews it look obvious that the first set of wmoen
are young and hot.
If the second group of women are 'avaerage' thats too predictable. Also if they were super model hot thats saying the first group was average, I do not think they would do that either.
What I predict is that the second group of women will be attractive successful business women in their 40's, maybe very late 30's (38-39).
In stead of average vs hot it will be young vs old!
Genious!
No one steal my idea if they do not do it that way.!

Okay...

Gil's acting career? He lacks personality, and I don't know many women who find him THAT attractive.

It was obvious to me Brian was going to lose based on his date at the baseball stadium. I imagine Larissa probably would've gotten rid of him earlier, except that the producers require that at least Joe must stick around. And I think they probably knew she wouldn't pick Brian. So they set up their Boston date to be something cool for Brian as sort of a consolation prize. Hell, Larissa barely had anythign to do there.

And speaking of Brian, what's up with those kisses? Could his lips be any tighter? Where's the passion? A gorgeous woman is agreeing to kiss you, give it a bit more oompf! Make out with the damn girl! Sheesh.

Gil and Fabio... I think it was staged to appease those who thought Larissa deserved something rotten for dissing Brian.

As for Brian in Average Joe 4, I just don't see it. At least Adam had some assemblance of "lady skills", plus he was successful. Brian's a nice guy, but he needs a starter girlfriend. He's not ready for a gaggle of beauties.. he'd probably fall in love with all of them. Unless they had Brian with a bunch of Average Jills, that might work.

I think Larrisa proved how shallow she was at the end. I thaught she was the total package..NOT!!

I'll give her and Gil another month b4 they broke up. Unless of course he gets called for an audition first then it's buh-bye!!

Those 2 fools deserve each other

As for Brian not to worry if William Hung can get laid now so can you

Gil claimed on the Today show that he didn't leave because of the Fabio thing. He claimed the 3-day trip was over, so he went home, and he would have done so without Fabio.

Loved his work in Office Space. I wonder if her showed her the "Oh" face. Oh. Oh. Oh.

I thought maybe he was trying out his "acting" skills by getting pissed and storming off.
