I know they probably told him to say it, and had him rehearse it over and over, but Evan’s “million bucks” line was great. 
And what about the butler? He hated Heidi. He said at the end something like “too bad she isn’t staying, the French could improve”! HA! He is too funny.
//And, ummm… I am French… Got a good laugh out of me.//
bye bye Heidi, may a flight of demons take you to your rest…
I’ll betcha that half of the rest of the women there were thinking “whatever” when he put the necklace on what’s-her-face. Heidi was merely the only one who actually said it.
Perhaps “bitch” is just another word for “saying what you’re thinking.” 
Actually, I got the impression that he likes aggressive women.
Hmmm…that’s a great idea. It would kind of redeem the producers of the show for being deceitful.
<b>Beadalin</b>, are we to assume that Melissa is from MN?
The most surprising thing thing to me is that she, Zora and Alison actually seem cool. I did not expect to like the women on the show.
First of all, does anyone else think that the butler’s accent isn’t particularly posh? He could almost be Australian without the typical rough edges on the accent (if you know what I mean), though I think his accent is more British than colonial.
Also I checked out the official website and found this quote:
which would lead me to believe that she’s aware of the scam. Of course, she could have been interviewed much later for this, but none of the other women give responses that indicate they know. Why does she?
Oh, I forgot to mention, this quote is from Mary.
And I checked his biography on the site (something I didn’t think to do earlier) and found that he was indeed Australian.
Also from http://www.fox.com/joem/ interviews:
Green Bean and gonzoron - I’m convinced he picked Mojo b/c of that damn Cowboy Hat she wore in the first episode. Although it was interesting that none of the other girls from the train made it.
Aside from that, my $.02:
I’m rooting in the exact opposite way as everyone else seems to be. I like Alison and Zora WAY too much to want them to win. I wanted deperately for Heidi to win it all - if you thought the look on her face was priceless last night, casn you imagine the look on her face after she found out it was all bullshit? I will be in physical pain if a super-nice girl like Zoya murmurs “but, you lied to me!”
I only saw the last 1/2 hour, but it was worth it because I got to see the stable mucking! I can’t believe those heels Dayana (sp?) wore! I laughed so hard at that I scared my dogs.
And Heidi was priceless as she burst into tears because her horse started grazing. Oh yeah Heidi, “Buttercup” sure looked like a fiery mount as he fell asleep! The “whatever” comment was so totally in character for her.
However, like Dooku, I can’t quite get myself to pull for Allison or Zora. I like them too much to have them find out at the end that they’ve been lied to. I hope Mojo (she of the sparkly eye shadow) wins. I’d love to see her reaction!
They did set them all up as being gold-diggers, that’s for sure. Remember how, on the most recent episode, Melissa M. winked when Evan put that sapphire necklace on her? In earlier commercials for Joe Millionaire, they used that shot with a “ka-ching!” cash register sound effect that coincided with her wink.
I like Melissa, Zora and Allison. I’m hoping he chooses one, and when he fesses up, she exclaims that it doesn’t matter!
[sub]Now who is living in a dream world?[/sub]
As a horse-y kinda girl, and never a prissy girl, I howled with devilish glee watching Princess D-girl scrunch up her nose and her FM boots on her half-dead mount.
Heidi freaking out because the horse wanted to graze–ohmigawd I about died. Oooh, scary! Horse put his head down to eat! Oh NO! WhatEVER could you do?!
Prissy, princessy girls shoveling coal, manure, and picking grapes.
God, this is great TV.
BTW…one of my coworkers is friends with…oh, crap whatshername…the Asian woman, the physician, who was culled last night. She actually seemed pretty cool, as do about half these women I think. Anywho, said woman is having weekly parties to watch the show. Even UberBitch Heidi attended. And yes, according to People Who Really Know Her, she’s a [South Park]King Kong Mega Mega Bitch[/South Park]. She had to sign a contract threatening litigation should she say anything, so dangit…we can’t get anything out of her.
I predict that Evan is NOT as broke as we’re being relentlessly told. They are going to pull a double switcheroo. First tell the girl that he’s broke, see how she takes it, then tell us all that he really did score something.
Because his act is just too much.
I agree. I am very cynical now and I believe that anything labeled as ‘reality TV’ is automatically scripted. It is entertaining and this comes as a great shock to me. We all love a good train wreck I guess.
What would have made this show better would have been to break the news to the individual women who were departing so we could see their ‘reaction’.
I believe the line you’re looking for is “King Kamehameha Bitch.” (Of course, when Cartman sings it, it sure does sound like “King Kong mega-mega-bitch,” doesn’t it?)
WAY TO GO HEIDI~~~ Go OFF the show that is…The fact that she owned up to having a current relationship should have dis quailfied her in the first place,The very idea of this greedy witch grabbing 2 dresses and leaving the one girl with a piece of crap that didn’t even fit!!!
The problem I had with the show from the beginning is that they TOTALLY effing copped out. Had they picked, say, Paul Hogan the Butler as the Millionaire, then they really would have had something. Did he have to be a freakin’ swuimsuit model?
It’s like they baited us into thinking we’ll see gold diggers get their comeuppance, but instead he’s a nice guy and they might really fall for him regardless.
I’m less of the opinion he really has money, simply b/c he modelled for that men’s thong underwear magazine. Even if he were into that sort of thing, he would have been able to use his clout to get into a better publication.
Okay…I had my reservations about Fox’s latest spectacle at first, but after The Amazing Race became such a huge letdown so quickly (Flo winning, I don’t mind. Flo winning due to sheer dumb luck and a Detour infraction that wasn’t called, I mind.), well, need something to fill my TV quota for the week. So the big lie it is.
Missed the first ep, but will catch it on the repeat this Thursday (set your VCRs now!).
Thoughts thus far:
-
I agree that Evan wasn’t the best choice, but not for the reasons I’ve seen so far. His big problem, IMHO, is that he’s actually taking this seriously…i.e., he really thinks he’s going to start a great relationship with a woman who wasn’t in it just for the money. This is a huge no-no. Aside from the fact that it’s jumping the gun big time (you don’t even know how she’s going to react to the lie, for crying out loud), history has shown that strong relationships are neither begun nor benefitted by television. The proper menality is to play along, go with the flow, enjoy the wonderful vacation and the company with a host of women who wouldn’t given a time of day otherwise (although with the likes of Heidi, definitely a mixed blessing), and when it’s over, take what you get and get on with your life. The fact that he already has a clear idea of what he’s getting out of this is troubling…he might end up more unhappy than anyone else at the end.
-
Paul Hogan was a great choice for the butler, and, if anything, seems to be having a lot more fun with this than some of the “contestants”. The parting blasts at the second-round cuttees was priceless.
-
There should be more footage of the interactions between the ladies, if only to help solve the eternal mystery of whether women really do instinctively hate each other.
Finally, yes, it’s bogus, but I think that’s beside the point. In wrestling, the important distinction isn’t whether it’s real or not, because it’s never real, but whether the action you’re seeing is a “work” or a “shoot”. In a work, every step is scripted from start to finish; in a shoot, while there’s a general idea of how the match should end, how the guys in the ring actually get there is up to them.
From what I’ve seen, it’s still solidly within the “shoot” category. About the only thing I could see worked was the first cut, but that was promptly taken care of in the second, so I don’t have a beef. There can be only one!
