NBC's answer to Joe Millionaire?

So last week, while the wife was out taking belly dancing lessons, I was also engaged in personal development, namely laying on the couch watching Fear Factor, special gross-out edition. What a great show. I don’t watch it often, but when I do it’s always a treat. There’s nothing quite like watching a hot Brazilian chick bob for plastic rings in a trough of cow’s blood to make you all warm and tingly inside.

Needless to say, I was thus in good spirits when I saw a commercial that piqued my interest like few others have. NBC is apparently hosting a Joe Millionaire-esque trainwreck, in which many women compete for the hand of some doofus, with the twist that the winner gets a million dollars and that everyone but the doofus knows this. Having watched Joe Millionaire all the way through :o, I am of course incredibly eager to see this newest debacle.

However, I can’t remember the name of the program or when it’s supposed to start. NBC’s website has nary a mention of it, and searching the SDMB turned up nothing. Can anyone help me out? Is this a real show, or just a Fear Factor-induced hallucination?

Assuming it is real, isn’t this just the greatest idea for a show in the whole wide world? Is anyone else excited about this?

Just his hand?

Dang, I guess I’ll have to watch Fear Factor tonight, just in case they run the ad again. (Yes, Giraffe, I experienced a similar hallucination sometime in the last week or so – alas, I watch so much “reality” TV that I can’t pin down what show I was watching at the time.)

A quick search shows this project does exist, and is called For Love Or Money.

I like this idea, but I hope we don’t get so reality’d up we end up seeing shows like those in Comedy Central’s humorous “Get Real!” self-promos.

Thanks, mobo85. Any idea on when it airs? Also, a Google search using that name turned up nothing for me – any chance you could post a link?

E!online mentions the show and says it’s supposed to be on this summer. Nothing in the way of details, however.

Here’s an article that has a little more: http://moviepoopshoot.com/news/apr03/108.html
