I missed the latest episode on Monday, and now I missed the encore! Can anyone fill me in on the last episode? Who was cut? Thanks in advance! ---

From this [website](http://www.fox.com/joem/), it looks like there are two left, named Sara and Zora. I’m not watching this at all, so I could be mistaken. ---

Hmmm. I would’ve expected Zora. Wonder why he chose Melissa? Thanks for the quick resposes. ---

I heard a theory today that just might be true. Someone said that the word in the inner circle is that the guy really is rich, and instead of being “shame on the women”, it’s “shame on the viewers”. The 14K he makes is supposed to just be like what he makes with his regular job. Supposedly, he made a metric asston of money from modelling. ---

I have a feeling he WILL be a millionaire by next year. ---

He is NOT really rich; he was until recently a male prostitute who made his living being, in the parlance of that, um, subculture, “gay for pay.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by red\_dragon60 \* > **The 14K he makes is supposed to just be like what he makes with his regular job.** Evan made 19K last year as a construction worker. Although California construction workers average 42K/year, he was unemployed much of 2002, which he says is one of the reasons he took the offer to be on _Joe Millionaire_. ---

Sorry **lissener** , but you shouldn’t call someone a prostitute with out something to back it up. I was sad to see Melissa go. She was the most entertaining to watch. ---

That amid all the rumours about his being really rich (with or without the producers’ knowledge), or the women really knowing, or the “scam” really being upon the audience rather than upon them, that would be just as fitting and unfounded a rumour. ---
