I posted this in another thread, but I’ll do it again: He got to read bios of each of the women before the show that must’ve contained a questionnaire section. He is a big hockey buff, and the only woman to answer all three hockey questions correctly was the woman he chose. His mother later said that he knew he was going to choose her before the show started. ---

Actually, they DID say the “for richer or poorer” part. ---

“At the end of those two hours, if you turned down the volume of your TV and you listened real carefully, you could hear Western civilization crumbling around you.” – ROBERT THOMPSON, director of Syracuse University’s Center for the Study of Popular Television, on Fox’s “Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire” special. ---

I see a lot of ads for this show today. I think they are going to reshow it again as a rerun. Run! * * * “Men are like parking spaces, the available ones are handicapped.” ---

Where did all the gray hair come from after the show? On the show he got black hair. I remember Darla said he said at one point, ‘We could have awesome sexual chemistry.’ Her first thought, ‘Run!’ She didn’t like him kissing her but in the replays I can see her kissing him back. ---

> [@](#): > > Originally posted by handy: > \*\* > I see a lot of ads for this show today. I think they are going to reshow it again as a rerun. Run! > \*\* They chickened out and never showed it again. In fact, a recent newspaper article said FOX may get out of “reality” programming altogether. No more “Wild Animals Attacking Robbie Knievel During a Police Chase”, I guess. Or is that “Police Chase Robbie Knievel While Animals Attack”? According to a story on [CNN.com](http://CNN.com), Darva Conger received a $35,000 engagement ring, a new Isuzu Trooper and the honeymoon, for a total value of $100,000. And she gets to keep the stuff even though the marriage didn’t work out.

As Darva pointed out on 20/20, prostitution is having unmarried sex for money. According to her they WERE married and WERE NOT having sex, so this cannot really be called prostitution. I think a little more of Darva and a little less of Rick after seeing some later news. She’s more attractive than I initially thought, but still- what a MAROON!

I just watched Entertainment Tonight (only for a short while, because the show is revolting these days) and it had a piece showing this Rockwell guy crying on air on a radio station interview! What a load of showy attention-seeking bollocky crap! He’s a lying wife-bashing creepy egomaniac, and he’s looking for sympathy because the woman he chose wouldn’t sleep with him! Dickhead. Some of the most disgusting excuse for entertainment I’ve ever encountered. * * * [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Shadow of the Pigeon** - Weirdo of the Night [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-wants-to-marry-a-millonare-what-you-think/14114.md?page=2)
