I have a feeling this show will be a huge hit.

Mr. Plow · 2003-01-03, 10:47 PM

I have that feeling too. My wife and my sister-in-law were talking about the show last week and they are planning on watching it. I imagine quite a few people will.

sleemo · 2003-01-04, 02:14 AM

My wife can't wait. :lol:

satgirl · 2003-01-07, 09:59 AM

So? What did you think?

I get the feeling that they are trying too hard with this show and it's not working yet. Although I must say the guy is a really lousy liar!

I'll have to tune in next week to see if the show flows better than this week.

To many woman, to little time :lol:

I'm sure the 8 losers are now glad they lost, they could have been made to look like complete fools.

Awe shucks...did I miss the first episode?!

I like the concept...looks good on the girls that think they can find the love of their lives on a TV show!

There's a rumour floating around that at the end they will reveal that the guy is actually worth big bucks to turn the surprise on the viewers.

18.6 million women — and men — like 'Joe'

hugh · 2003-01-08, 12:27 PM

sorry just kind of tuned into this. Is this a reality show or a spoof on a reality show?

jdh79 · 2003-01-08, 01:20 PM

It's a show where 20 women are told that they are competing (similar to the Bachelor) to marry a guy who has just inherited $50 million. However, in reality, he is a construction worker that only makes 19k/yr. He picks his choice for bride and then has to reveal that he really doesn't have any money to see if she will bolt or won't care.

james99 · 2003-01-08, 01:29 PM

Are you sure about the marriage part? I don't remember hearing that.

jdh79 · 2003-01-08, 01:31 PM

I think the premise is that he tells the winner the truth and then asks her to marry him.

I have a feeling this will end up being another "Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire" fiasco. You would think FOX would have learned already.

From the official web site:

WHO IS OUT FOR LOVE?
WHO IS IN IT FOR MONEY?
THE ANSWERS WILL BE REVEALED ON 'JOE MILLIONAIRE'

MONDAYS 9PM/8C ON FOX

Romance and reality intertwine as 20 women travel to France for a whirlwind romance with a man whom they think is a dashing millionaire. What will happen when the truth is finally revealed that he is a just a regular "Joe" and his wealth is a facade? Will his true love accept him for who he is, or reject him in search of greener pastures? As this handsome, young, eligible man begins his search for "The One," he discovers which of these women are out for true love and which are just interested in his bank account in JOE MILLIONAIRE, the new, seven-episode, unscripted drama series from the creators of the hit series "Temptation Island," premiering Monday, January 6 (9:00 PM-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In actuality, "Joe Millionaire" is a construction worker raised in humble surroundings with only limited financial security. However, the 20 women who have been whisked off to a beautiful chateau in the French countryside believe that "Joe" has recently inherited 50 million dollars and is looking for a special someone to share his newfound wealth. "Joe," in the ultimate fantasy setting, will be introduced to women that due to his social standing he would not be able to meet in his everyday life. Among the beautiful, smart and sophisticated women gathered are a doctor, banker and business development executive.

Over the course of his stay at the chateau, "Joe" will court each of the women. As he woos them with romantic horseback rides through the countryside, wine-making at the estate's vineyard, private dinners at the Eiffel Tower and unique and priceless gifts, "Joe" will grapple with the difficulty of maintaining his million dollar charade. As the series progresses, "Joe" ultimately narrows his choice to one woman and must finally reveal the truth about his month-long masquerade and his real financial standing to her.

Will his chosen companion reject him once she learns the truth, or will true love win out?

JOE MILLIONAIRE is produced by Rocket Science Laboratories. Jean-Michel Michenaud and Chris Cowan serve as Executive Producers. Liz Bronstein is Co-Executive Producer, Roberto Cardenas is supervising producer.
