wtf? Joe Millionaire?

Devo · 12-01-2002, 01:57 PM

Anyone else seen the commercial slots on FOX for their newest reality datign show, Joe Millionaire?

Clips say something about 20 women, being dropped off in front of some Old French Chateau with "a man rich beyond their wildest dreams" who rides up in a sweater on horseback with some shocking personal "secret"...

what the fuck is the obsession with watching people on TV trying to get married...

You would have thought networks would have realised the potential problems after "Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire?'

I mean, they ruined two peoples' lives, Darva Conger looks like a whore for the rest of her life (not that she looked decent before the show) and the millionaire fella is renowned as a lunatic, who stalks his ex-wife etc...

And above that, you'd think women would realize that trying to find a man on television is bullshit...
a) Darva Conger ends up in Playboy
b) First Bachelor couple is still living apart, on opposite sides of the country
c) Newest Bachelor couple is so fake, the guy has merely been trying to push his acting portfolio...

d) now they have ANOTHER Fox marriage special.. and Lord, I can't wait to see the "SECRET" they claim this Guy has...

I hope he was a convicted pedophile... I'd love to see some women convince themselves they can marry this guy knowing that...

I'm not interested in people getting married in REALITY...let alone reality TV. Thats the irony.

Blackwinds · 12-01-2002, 08:55 PM

i liked the bachlor...

Xaen · 12-01-2002, 09:58 PM

They should just rename it:

Who wants to be a rich hooker?

Schar · 12-01-2002, 10:03 PM

It's women that shows like that appeal to, and women seem to LOVE them, so it gets massive ratings.. Not all women, but most. Who knows why, i guess it's sort of like how mainly men watch boxing.

I really can't beleive that women would go on a show like that hoping to find the man of their dreams. Shit shows like that piss me off. Fox is the toilet of television.

Devo · 12-02-2002, 01:55 AM

I think The Simpsons said it best in one of their flashforwards to the future...

something like...

"You know Homer, the FOX network turned into a hardcore porno channel so slowly, I didn't even notice"

I wouldn't be surprised...

I hate most network television as of late. I'm so sick of so called "reality" TV shows that are pure garbage. I'm sick of "voting people off" which is just plain stupid as it promotes peoples favortism or stupidity. I think I watched 2 half episodes of the first season of surviver before I realised how retarded it was. They are all full of a bunch of whinney biatches who don't deserve crap. The only so called "Reality TV" show that was entertaining was Fear Factor, no voting in that show. Its do or die, it was based on skill and overcoming self. Not about who gets the most votes cause they are a hot piece of @ss or whatnot.

I hope the persons secret is he is gay and only wants the girl to use a dildo on his bum bum.

Jaytee Bushwacker · 12-02-2002, 09:25 AM

Fox had a couple good shows going for it in the early years. Married... with Children, X-Files, and The Simpsons. Married with Children out lasted every executive at Fox with the exception of Murdock (the President/Owner) and they havent replaced it yet. These reality shows really show how bad the network has become.

When the Simpsons finally go of the air (they have been on for like 14 years now) Fox is going to be dragging ass.

quechal · 12-02-2002, 12:45 PM

actually, if his secret is that he is gay i might actually watch it, for nothing else than to see a bunch of dumb broads thinking that they got the magic ass to make him switch teams. that would be fucking funny

Eager Val'Sharess · 12-02-2002, 04:21 PM

For the record, I hated the Bachelor. -watched one episode-

After watching him make out with about every girl, and him plugging his future restaurant over and over...it got old real fast. I couldn't get over the thought that they just hired a bunch of prostitutes.

phatboy · 12-02-2002, 08:43 PM

They probably did hire whores... you have to be a ho to whore yourself on national TV infront of a million people.
I can't fucking grasp the concept of reality TV anyway. Why the fuck would you want to watch real life on a TV? Has society sunk so low, and become so lazy that we can't live our own lifes without the help of the FOX network?

Get off the fucking couch America!... and to a lesser extent Canada. The day the CBC comes out with their own Reality show is the day I move to Cuba!

phat

Iannis · 12-03-2002, 10:19 PM

I bet he's just some poor schmoe they picked out of an unemployment line and pretend to be a millionaire.
and have ho's...uhm, hoing at him.

Now that spells ratings.

xmortal · 12-04-2002, 09:11 AM

On the news last night they said the secret was that he was a regular old construction worker. No millionaire. The idea I guess is to see if they still want to be with him for who he is..?

Plan9 · 12-04-2002, 09:27 AM

It might be funny if like...
They end up saying his secret is that he's a regular guy;
and the girl doesnt wanna be with him
but then they tell her he really IS a millionare...
hah, Id watch the last episode of that

Phlean · 12-04-2002, 04:25 PM

ya xmortal i heard that on the radio this morning that his secret is that he's a construction worker makes 19 grand a year and they mainly wanted to see which of those chics are classless gold digging whores, and plan9 that would be cool if that happened although i probably wouldnt watch it regardless.
