Oh, wait. I **DO** watch that … it’s called the Jerry Springer Show. P.S. **Lux** , have you replied to the “Any of you Straight Dopers a bona fide celebrity?” thread in the IMHO forum? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Incubus \* > **And to say that an ugly woman getting rejected by an attractive man is so much more devastating than vice versa is a rather sexist remark. People are people, and people’s reactions aren’t solely based on gender.** Yeah, but when a **man** gets his heart broken and feels devastated and sinks into a depression and eventually kills himself, nobody cares. Women are precious little flowers to be cherished, but men are just dime-a-dozen trash. :rolleyes: ---

In an interview after the finale aired, “Joe” admitted that none of the women were in his league, and that when he first saw them he wanted to turn his horse around and gallop away. > > It was a ratings bonanza. \*\* Which Joe Millionaire? Evan or David? Both shows had a mixed bag of women, IMHO – but there were plenty of hotties on both. Full of ugly women? YMMV. ---
