Zora or Sarah?
Today we have news of war, mounds of snow in New York, a bizarre trampling at a Chicago nightclub, yet most people are probably talking around the water cooler about the most important topic of all - who is Evan going to pick? Zora, or Sarah? And while we're at it, what's the big "surprise secret" to be announced? I'll take a stab at it first - Sarah will be the chosen one, and the surprise will be she's either pregnant, or...has 50 million dollars of her own. And yes, I'm proud to say I actually watch and enjoy this garbage. Hah!

Yes!
Zora! Because Evan likes a challenge. Decision made after episode where, regardless of silence over dinner in Paris, Zora given keepsake jewel.
The twist: tougher to gauge.
Disappointing twist: Zora freaks out, does something “outrageous” like slapping Evan or kneeing him in his keepsake jewels.
Great twist: The Return of MoJo!!
She charges from nowhere, wearing low-rent bikini model favourite “stars and stripes” swimsuit, wielding a knife screaming “I CHOOSE YOU!!!” Butler Paul Hogan whips his cognac to the ground. Grits his teeth. Dives! Takes out MoJo! SAVES THE DAY!!!

How about this.. Evan picks Sarah and then tells her he isn't a millionare. Then Sarah cries, hits Evan, and doesnt end up dating him. This proving that she was obviously not in it for the six-pack and bright eyes, but for the horses and the chubby butler. BUT THEN! after she leaves the set; evan says "I am a millionare!", but not to a 50 million dollar extreme.. maybe like 3 or 4 million. YAY! GOOOOOOO JOE!

I say Fox will give him millions, making the whole show oddly pointless.

ok, follow me here: Zora is actually a plant whom Fox has given a lot of money, and if Evan makes the right choice which would be choosing Zora, they get to split the money. so the joke is really on Evan. see?
either that or Evan, Zora and Sarah all end up having a three-way bondage orgy.

Yo, yo.
Like that Sarah, she’s a skanky ho, right? She’s playin the boy like a cheap violin. Thing is, we know Evan’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal, right? But even so, deep down inside, in his heart of hearts, he knows he’s being played. So he picks Zora. But she disses him cause she’s too good for all that jive turkey.
The twist is that the dirty ol’ butler has been taking both the girls behind the woodshed and lettin’ em know what time it is. Believe dat.

i hate "reality" shows. it's a load of shit.

just my opinion
Posted by: scott at February 17, 2003 4:36 PM
Scott, the revolution will be a reality TV show. Prepare now!
Before the big decision, Zora ties Sarah up in her room, not knowing that she actually likes it. She tells Joe that Sarah had to leave. Joe tells Zora he is not a millionaire. Zora tells him that she still loves him. Joe tells her that he is also gay. Joe and the Butler live happily ever after. No one remembers to untie Sarah and she dies.

Anyone who has enough time to watch reality shows doesn't visit their local library often enough.

My bet on the "surprise twist": After his decision, the insolvency declaration, and her decision, Paul and the producers then present Evan with the bill for the chateau.... ;-)
Posted by: John Dowdell at February 17, 2003 6:05 PM
I am convinced that Zora is a man. Perhaps that is the twist -- or that Evan picks Paul the butler.
Another possibility is that the entire cast is computer generated, and that the chateau doesn't exist. Even Paul's cognac is nothing but pixels.

He will pick Zora. The twist... Paul Hogan is Paul Hogan... From the Crocodile Dundee franchise. Now that's a noife!

ZORA!!!!
the whistles go, "woo! woo!"

Heh tonight's episode was the first and last episode I've seen. Big surprise that the producers gave him a million dollars. However, I did think the final episode was well done and tasteful, unusual for Fox. Good show.

Im even prouder to say that I dont have the faintest clue what youre talking about?! Zora or Sarah? Is it a computer game? Is it dogs?

People who expound on not watching TV are too addicted to the internet to get up off their lazy ass and find the remote under their dirty piles of underwear.
That being said, I don't watch TV either.

Sounds compelling, in a Shite TV kinda way. I live in the UK, and I don't want imagine what a UK varient of the show would be. No chateau, but a serviced quarters in a pebble beach holiday camp. No Million dollar cheque at the end but an eachway bet on a longshot at the greyhounds.

Man, what a dumb show. I knew all along they would get some sort of pay out if they chose to stick together. Good to see that someone as kind as Zora getting some money (if her story is true). Joe, or whatever his name is, is probably one of the dumbest people ever to be put up on tv. Duh, uh, uh, uh...
Posted by: cheeky at February 18, 2003 9:18 AM
Well, I was totally wrong, and am actually quite glad I was. I assumed Sarah would win simply because of Zora's hard-to-get attitude, and because of whatever she was slurping on in the woods a few episodes back. But alas, the one girl who seemed to keep a sense of humor and reality about the whole bizarre situation won in the end. Even if things don't work out between her and Evan (I mean, come on - that would be hard to pull off) she at least has enough money to fix the heater in her apartment - and maybe even a proper jewelry box to get her rocks out of the freezer.

I could tell you what she was slurping on if you want to know.

I watch plenty of TV, but this reality crap is the ultimate in mental masturbation. C'mon, you must feel utterly filthy after watching these shows. Unless, of course, you also enjoy peeping in your neighbors windows or through bathroom keyholes. Ick.
Posted by: jeremy at February 18, 2003 1:20 PM
What a lame ending. They give them $1 million after setting it up like it's going to be "Hey babe, I ain't got no dough at all". I was hoping for the Zora reveals, "I love you Evan, and I'm A MAN BABY!!!!" That would be twisted.
Posted by: Chris at February 18, 2003 2:14 PM
YAY for Zora!
Posted by: brandy at February 18, 2003 2:45 PM
I thought the twist would be they'd all really be actors. They act so fake, it's seriously like a daytime soap. I only watched the last 1/2 hour and now I can claim I watched Joe Millionaire. I tuned in and I thought it was the most messed up crap I'd ever seen. What has the world come to? When I turn on TV it's like my only options are "Bridezillas" and "Are You Hot?" It's horrible. And they have that new show where people vote to see who has to get married? It's crazy. And I thought "Elimidate" was bad...

poorer than dirt chooses dumber than dirt and hits paydirt. ahh, the american dream.

Why didn't Ryan just tell me that he was reading Ralph Waldo Emerson?
