The geography lesson was painful to watch. I winced when David asked, “Where’s Dutch?”
The NY Times, in a review of Skin, has this to say about the network:
So i watched this then refused to watch Skin. I’m not sure what that says about my taste in TV shows.
I loved how he was totally in love with his horse. I don’t think he’s even interested in women :eek:
All in all, the first episode was hilarious.
(paraphrasing)
Paul: I’m your butler.
JM: Yes sir.
Paul: That means you should call me Paul.
JM: Yes sir.
Paul looks at the camera.
Great TV.
Well, if he would have shown up at the World Series with one of the contestants, we would have known who “wins”.
At the WS they went to great pains to show he was alone – the seats next to him were vacant (and could’ve been sold to a baseball fan, but that’s a rant for another day.)
“euroslut”: I like it.
I like the “hang out on ranch/go clubbing” question, like that dichotomy summarizes all the possible choices in his existence.
Fox’s choices about subtitles was weird — they put subtitles on women who had no discernible accent and were speaking perfectly plainly. I think some of these women spoke better English than our hero.
As a matter of fact, the command of English that most of these women showed is suspicious. Completely unaccented; using words like “humongous”–even swearing in English. Doesn’t seem right…
A co-worker told me they filmed Joe Millionare 1-4(!) back-to-back-to-back-to-back, and will be airing them as time goes by.
They were scary, especially the really tanned Swedish hag who wore sunglasses all the time. There was one really pretty one, I thought–chin length brown hair and blue eyes–no clue on her name.
Your co-worker is dead wrong.
The one major regret Fox had when they released the first Joe Millionaire was that they hadn’t filmed two episodes simultaneously, because now they can’t find women who don’t know about the secret anywhere in America.
That’s why Joe Millionaire 2 had to be “An International Affaire.” They scrounged around in various Eurpoean countries where the first Joe Millionaire had never aired, and somehow managed to find 14 women who had never heard of the show and who were at least mildly good-looking enough to cast in Joe Millionaire 2.
(This might also explain why the women in the premiere last night seemed so “skanky.” Maybe all the classy Eurpoean women had heard of Joe Millionaire!)
I saw a lot of previews and a very small part of the show as I wasn’t home. I am appauled in how ugly those women are! Too tanned, superficial, yikes…
They are in no way representative of Europe believe me…
I am French.
I just went on the Fox web-site to see which one(s) was French as the previews kept saying “oui, oui” and “how do you say sucker in French?”… Not one is from France. That cracked me up. I have to admit I am relieved because they would have found a dumb, gold-digger as well.
I find this poor guy unbelievably not attractive… We’ll see later if he rises in my ‘esteem’.
And this is exactly why I will not watch this one. The subtitles for perfect english were driving me CRAZY. It suddenly occurred to me that if the producers think I’m so stupid that I can’t understand these women speaking, then I’m stupid for continuing to watch and proving them right.
Y’know I was thinking. Maybe this explains why Coldfire who lives in Europe has decided to forgo the Euroskanks and date an Ameribabe.
I always suspected there must be a reason.
Wasn’t the first Joe show full of Ameribabes? :dubious:
For that matter, doesn’t the current pussy posse know what happened in Joe the First? I mean, it’s all over the internet, no? If you were participating in a show, wouldn’t you do some research first?
It boggles the mind.
I noticed her, too. She was the only one worth noticing, IMHO. Go her! Whatever her name was.
Linda from the Czech Republic is the cute brown-haired lady in question.
Though not the cutest, Tereza, also from the Czech Republic, seemed the nicest/least shallow.
"The subtitles for perfect english were driving me CRAZY. "
I got closed captions on top of subtitles sometimes. I don’t know which one to read.
The women all pretty much look older than him too.
You’d be surprised at the command of English shown by many young Europeans.
I didn’t see the show, but most Swedish women in their 20s would understand “humungous” and a good portion of them would speak unaccented English. In fact, many speak with a foreign accent (usually British or American, depending on whether they got most of their English practice in school or from television).
Let me get this straight-they somehow found a large group of women who had somehow avoided all news of the show(even though it was on satellite television), and during those weeks of filming the series not a single one of them had a friend mention to them the similarity of their situation and that of the infamous American television series?!? Also, is it my imagination, or are the heavy accents of some of these “European” women slipping as the show goes on?
Something(besides the incredibly bad taste, of course) doesn’t smell right.
While the show is being taped all the women stay in the mansion and have no contact with their friends or family. I didn’t pay much attention during the premier but i believe they mentioned that they only picked women from countries where the first show was not broadcast at all.
I was prepared to write the guy off as just as big a tool as Evan, but the horse-choosing thing stopped me. At least the guy knows about something, and CARES about something. Evan was a human tabula rasa.
