A smart bride would also secure the rebroadcast rights and such. Hell the Pre-nup will ensure they stay married for a while so she may as well get something. ---

Just a word of caution. I know nothing about the validity of this whole thing. It’s the first I have heard of this. For all I know, it could be a hoax or worse. I have never heard of Next Entertainment. Are they an actual TV production company? They don’t say what network is going to broadcast this, so I am suspicious. Ladies, be careful before sending anything to the addresses. ---

Millionaire? Is that before or after taxes? Is this multiple millions? missdavis102, no pic, its like a box of chocolates, never know what youre going to get. ---

I did a little research. The only company called Next Entertainment I found on the web is one that makes comic books. The [oneandonly.com](http://oneandonly.com) website mentions nothing about this promotion. It’s fishy that the email doesn’t mention the date that the show will be on tv. I’m starting to doubt the credibility of the email. Sorry I posted it. ---

Curious, you got an acct at the oneandonly? Hmm, you can fetch me an email. But the ads there don’t have any dates on them. ---

Saw a blurb in the newspaper about this but didn’t read the whole thing because I’m not a TV person. Who else but the FOX network is cooking this up. IIRC it said they already had a millionaire lined up. Maybe there’s more somehwere on Fox’s web site. ---

Screw the TV stations. I’ll provide gold-digger lessons for women (and men) who want to marry rich old bad-heart types, basically “fun” them to death–a happy death, though–and get into their wills. Sorry, you probably will have to have the looks to pull of trophy-wife or boy-toy status. Act now! Bucky ---

I sent an email to [CEgers7000@aol.com](mailto:CEgers7000@aol.com) (Cheryl). She says the contest is legit and will be broadcast on Fox on Feb 15, the day after Valentine’s day. Why didn’t they say that in the original email? Also, she declined to give me more info about the bachelor when I asked about his name, age, residence, and appeareance. Why don’t they have a web page with his photo and info about him and the contest? I am still suscpicious about this alleged contest. ---

Just a reminder that the marriage pageant will be shown on Fox Tuesday, Feb 15, from 8-10 ET. It’s a new low for Fox and the marriage institution! Marriage for money. It’s almost like prostitution.

What do you mean “almost” like prostitution? These women are exchanging their bodies and, to some extent, their freedom for money. It **is** prostitution. And televised prostitution at that. Why no one’s spoken out against this is a mystery to me. This is, by far, the basest thing ever televised, and I include Geraldo Rivera in that statement. What the hell does this teach America? That one’s life dream should be to trade dignity for cash? I’m ill now… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-wants-to-marry-a-millionaire/13835.md?page=2)
