My friend David pointed out to me that they’re taking applications for “Average Joe 3,” with rejected bond trader Adam from the first series as the star. I’m sure he’ll be good at the helm, but the beautiful women who they’ll likely line up to compete over him already know he’s rich, and funny, so how different is that from “The Bachelor”?
David also pointed out that the application doesn’t specify gender. If the deadline weren’t in two days, I would seriously think about applying, just to see the reaction (if any) it would get. God knows I’m “average” enough. (The in-person casting goes through mid-March, but the video application deadline is Wednesday. Damn.)
Still, I’m sure I’m not the only one to have this idea. I wonder if legally they can’t specify women only? Hmmmmmm.
I’m confused–are they asking for average-looking women, or average-looking men again?
My read on it is they’re turning the “Average Joe” formula on its head, making average-but-not-really Adam the star, and bringing in beautiful women to compete for him. Which as I said, doesn’t make it that much different from “The Bachelor.”
