As much as I hate to say “I told you so,” I predicted the so-called “shocking twist” at the end of Joe Millionaire a while ago. (Regrettably I didn’t write it in a post for take-it-to-court proof. But you trust me, right?) I did mention Evan and now-we-know-it’s Zora getting $1 million to my friend Wendy, to which she responded, “A million dollars doesn’t go all that far these days.”
A much better twist would have been to reveal that all the women were actually millionaires, and knew Evan’s “secret” from the beginning. This would have thrown funny new light on the “what’s your middle name?” and “I had a dream you were two people” episodes. Or, knowing Fox, they could have offered Evan $1 million, but only if he never saw Zora again. Talk about good television.
One thing I did write about is that I liked Zora from the beginning, and I stand by my feeling that she’s too good for him. But she’s such a sweetheart, if she gets $500K out of the deal, that’s OK. She can use part of it to iron out her hair from the finale – she looked like she had a deranged poodle on her head.
One reality show down, 237 to go.
I understand what too much time in front of a mirror with a curling iron can do to a girl. It’s not pretty.
You also mentioned the $1 million giveaway to me, so I’ll vouch for you as well. I’m just pleased that Zora was chosen, and I felt bad for Evan the whole time. I’m a stupid sap, and I’m really looking forward to next week.
How can you bear to sit in front of this stuff?
I watched it, I admit. Apparently, I don’t have a romantic bone in my body. I threw my shoes at the TV, to my roommates’ disdain. They thought Zora was gorgeous and the whole thing was utterly cute and romantic. I threw my shoes at the TV. I actually had to untie them, pull them off my feet, and then throw them at the TV. I think that really says something.
Enjoyed the show. The more I watched the final show, I really thought the shocking twist was going to be a sharp knife plunged into Evan’s scapular area from one of the enraged women… a little disappointed that didn’t happen, but oh well.
again funny
when i got home last night, my roommate had just finished watching the show, ON MY TV!!! while I knew little about the show, the night before with all the commericals, we were hoping the “shocking twist” would be that the “winner” wouldn’t be a biological woman… giving the idiots a bag of money isn’t shocking, it’s just plain lame!
I enjoyed the show from the first episode to the last… er- almost. i guess there is another show next week… the happily ever after… can’t wait.
I just watched a recorded show from last week at a friend’s house. There was an ad for Joe Millionaire. It said the surprise twist would “BLOW YOUR MIND”.
