This sounds like the name of a future episode of the Simpsons…
You know what’d get me to watch Joe Millionaire? The inclusion of cannibals. Cannibals or ninjas.
Just a thought.

What is your source for this claim?
Seriously, this is a rumor that has not been verified. Yes, he did some underwear modeling. He got paid $1000 for that. Woo-hoo! He even had a line in a soap opera – “Where do you want this, ma’am?” Yes, he was a furniture mover. Wow!
As far as anybody can tell, construction is his real job.
And I might be Evan Marriott. :rolleyes:
As far as the question of whether they can ever do this again, no, they can’t. At least not in this format.
However, TLC is bringing over a British import called Faking It, which is sort of based on a similar premise (in fact, reading about it made me think that the producers of Joe Millionaire knew about this show and came up with the idea from them).
Basically, the premise is that they take somebody out of their natural habitat, train that person intensively for several weeks, and then see if they can fool a panel of experts. Kind of like Joe Millionaire every week, but without the dating. The UK version has had shows that, for example, made a vicar into a used-car salesman, turned a naval officer into a drag queen (don’t ask, don’t tell), and a punk singer into an orchestra conductor.
The first show here in the U.S. will apparently feature “Chicago Bill,” captain of the U.S. Beer Drinking Team (I kid you not), who is flown to San Francisco and made into a win sommelier.
Without the dating? Hmmph, well, so much for high ratings. 
You know . . that’s actually not a very bad idea at all. It is also possible that one of the non-millionaire dudes and one of the golddiggers could actually fall in love even though he is not the Millionaire. Intriguing.
BTW, Evan Marriott has also trained to be a pro wrestler (true). Could the secret be that he has a WWE contract?
