If this guy is really rich, then he’s the greatest method actor the world has ever known. ---

Yeah, those swimsuits are definitely TMI. ---

Got it. The nude or semi-nude body of a handsome, well-developed young man is disgusting. What was Michelangelo thinking? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Super Gnat \* > \*\*Melissa got cut. \*\* I missed the first showing on Monday night, but I got to see the Encore yesterday. **HALF WAY THROUGH** the friggin’ encore, they showed an ad for next week’s episode of _Joe Millionaire_, which clearly showed that MELISSA HAD BEEN THE ONE WHO WAS CUT! :mad: Ruined the suspense for the rest of the friggin’ episode. ---

This guy is NOT that handsome, IMHO. He looks more like one of those iron pumping addicts. Now, if Goran Visnjic would model like that… ---

I will just say that Evan is not my type. And those particular swimsuits would be _double ewwww_ on anyone. But I’d agree, Evan looks better in them than I imagine Dick Cheney would. ---

And I had actually managed to _not_ imagine Dick Cheney in a swimsuit for nigh unto 32 years now. Until I read this thread. Thanks a lot, people… 😛 ---

I’ve decided that I’m going to start the rumor that the actual truth is that Zora (since it’s probably not bondage-babe) is super-wealthy, so the _real_ stunt is seeing if Evan would choose _her_ out of a crowd of many, without knowing of the money. I doubt it’s true, but that’s my best attempt at a WAG. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Stoid \* > \*\*I’m not sure I understand this, except I am moved to point out that “rich” and “intelligent” are completely different things. \*\* So True. What I meant was that he has no idea how to do things that rich people would know how to do, like, say, to take a random example, **open a bottle of champagne**. 🙂 ---

But Joe Millionaire is supposedly a construction worker who inherited the millions only two years ago. This rich people stuff is supposed to be relatively new to him. ---

I could learn how to be rich in just two years. Don’t believe me? Give me $50 million and I’ll show ya. 😉 ---
