Fox + Stupid Euro Women = Joe Millionaire 2

[Arrian]

****ing Fox. I hate "reality TV." It shines the spotlight on the basest elements of human nature.

It would be fine, since I have no intention of watching the show, but I end up seeing the promo a million times while I'm trying to watch the World Series. ****in' A! Well, that's what the remote is for...

I really don't mind.. because it's clear these women are just opportunists, wanting the money. So I see nothing wrong when they find out there is no money. It's not like they'll marry the guy.

I'm ok with Euro bashing, if it gets higher ratings, no problem. As long as it stays in the limits of good fun and little nasty jokes and stereotypes, and nto go totally overboard.

Eh, Fox deceives these women to boost their own ratings. This is despicable.

So what? The women deceives the men that they like/love them, so they can get access to their money?

[Pekka]

Well sure I see your point, and it's my opinion about this being ok is not strong. I just don't mind this, but I understand if it gets shut down.

Sounds like fun. Btw I do not think it meets the definition of fraud in most jurisdictions.

Personally I'm looking forward to a show on ATV starting next spring, the title translates roughly into "America's dumbest Americans".

I would watch these shows if they had nudity- of the girls.

But what other reason is there to watch this show?

The women are equally deceptive and despicable. They deserve it.

Well, I am not going to pass a judgement on the women yet. Granted, some women love only money, though many others see money as an added "attaction," so to speak.

UR, they're gold diggers! I find the whole premise of the show despicable, but I've zero sympathy for the women on it. They signed on to get rich. Besides, I don't actually believe they don't know it's a scam.

Added attraction? Why would they go and fight about some dude with 19 competitors, on tv??? Could it be, that they are in it for the money, or could it be that they really really want to know this guy!?

I think it's the other way around.... if they happen to like the guy, that's a bonus. If not, then what the hell he's a millionaire and it's time to spend spend spend..

There's so many choices to pick from. I'm sure the producers won't manage to even get close to the bottom of the barrel.

Rumor has it that they are going to do JM III in africa and when the woman find out that Joe only makes 15K a year, they're going to scream, "HE IS RICH".

Seriously though, they could probably stage a JM III in Asia. I doubt many people here know about it. I don't know if they would want to do a show with non-Caucasian ladies, though.

[Chemical Ollie]

I think they are sending JM I on a Swedish thrash TV channel now. I saw the trailer for the first time last night, in the commercial breaks of a CLint Eastwood movie. There were only 4 girls left, so it has probably been going for a while. They where real babes and the guy was a hunk, but it's still too thrashy for me to watch.

I don't get it, are there really people who haven't heard of Joe Millionaire?
Even if they haven't, who the hell participates in something like that without even googling it first?

Sure they can google " joe Millionaire" but I doubt they are told that that is the name of the show . They could give it some harmless sounding name like the dozen shows of this type and even do it through a production company with no obvious ( to the public) ties to FOX. The only reason they would need people that have not seen the show is

1. if the hosts would be the same OR
2. they might catch on when great wealth is claimed

But wasn't one of the "Bachelor"'s a rich guy ?? Stimk rich does not necessarily mean a fake-out on these shows

Are the women told ahead of time that the guy is stinky rich ??. . . I thought the premise was that they go on this show and THEN are told of all this wealth . . .
