I actually find the premise of the show to be hilarious. Good ol' FOX. Probably not too much fun to watch, but it will be fun to see the girls reaction in the end.

Because the video of him with a dozer has him without a hat.
Sheesh, why oh why did I watch part of that show... Arrrg. I need a newer tin foil hat. [img]www.democraticunderground.com/duforum/Images/tinfoil.gif[/img] My current hat must be failing. |

Now now, I am workign constriction and I rarely ever wear a hardhat, find I hit my head far more from wearing it than not (those extra inches it adds to your height can be bad when you are over 6' already)
That said I do wear one when running machinery or working on the ground and work is being done on other levels...... Why does Fox have such stupid shows? WHy can't they be like TNN, get the A-Team on Fox, yeha that woudl kick ass [;D] |

If you can't see the difference in this show and the others, then so be it. I think it will be freaking hilarious to see the reactions of these gold diggers. I don't watch reality shows and think they are moronic, but this one shows the true nature of women. The argument about legalizing prostitution is pointless, because it already exists. It's called dating and marriage and this show points out how most women will spread'em for the right amount of money.

Great. I missed it.
I wanted to watch it just to see 20 golddiggers scratch each other's eyes out to grab their piece of the "treasure". I doubt he will be making $19K after this show though. |

No way this is legit- I only heard the ad on the radio (no TV) but the premise of hoodwinking the girls into thinking this guy has money has LAWSUIT written all over it-this is even a bigger pile of preplanned BS than "The Real World."

I'm watching now. This is good. This is real good. The golddiggers are already ooohing and aaahing about the castle, and one says she fells like a princess in a fairy tale... and they all giggled like a bunch of schoolgirls when their host mentioned the man was worth $50 million bucks... AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN MET THE GUY YET! This show definitely has the makings of one of those "priceless" moments. [;D]

Just finished watching the show.
I cant believe he kept the ugly Korean girl with the flat nose! There were two asian girls, he kept the wrong one. Good call keeping the black chick with the huge cans, the Mini Driver look-a-like, and the Zena looking chick who couldnt fit in the black dress. Why he kept the trailer trash blonde with the jail house Tattoo on her shoulder is beyond me. Must have been the Hand Sex at the "ball"? None of the girls seemed bright enough for me to believe they read the fine print on page X of their contract, that said Joe might not be a millionaire.... You can be sure FOX's lawyers penciled that in. |

A heavy machinery operator that makes ONLY 19k per year? I find that hard to believe.

I bet he actually IS loaded, but they will tell the womenz he is Joe Schmoe and only makes 19k per year....and see the expressions on the faces. If the one he picks still wants to be with him, they will tell her that he actually has a couple of million, but not the castle.

Caveat: haven't seen the TV show. I have given up on any sort of broadcast or cable TV. Nonetheless, these women are venal gold-diggers at best, myopic Ms. Magoos in spandex who can't (or won't)read the fine print in their contracts at worst. Stoooopid....[rolleyes] |

What type of PPE is required to operate a dozer? Doing a quick "job safety analysis", I couldn't find a reason to wear one (unless there are other factors at the job site such as workers or materials overhead, other types of heavy machinery working in close proximity etc....) Hell I don't know, I'm not a dozer dude! The show is stupid. However, my wife will be watching it and will want to discuss it so I will have to watch it just for "discussion purposes". [:D]

I watched it....Many of those girls were pretty ugly and look like they NEED to kiss a lot of frogs to TRY to get a prince.
There's just something about this show that's not right though. I think the guy really is a millionaire and FOX is taking the viewing public on their own reality show. And for you guys saying "typical women", I'll bet ya the women are saying "typical guys".. Lying about what they have just to get a chick into bed..How many of us have said they would respect them in the morning? Or "I'll love you forever"...You wait..It's coming What we are seeing is natural. The female in EVERY species (maybe with the exception of those lesbian seagulls) look for the male of their species with the most to offer. The better hunter. The one with the better shelter, or better fighter, etc. It means he can provide for and take care of her and a bunch of offspring so the species can survive...(Darwin rocks!) And which one of you guys wouldn't take the opportunity to hook up with a really hot chick with tons of money if you had the chance? You know, if you were single, young, verile, etc... I WOULD! I need more toys and if I can bag a hot sugar mama, then so be it.. Some of you guys are way too eagar to judge. Turn the tables. Damn, does the above sound "P" whipped or what? I need to go back to the range for a day or two..lol |

No, Joe Millionaire is a union worker. He was on a local morning news show recently and he said his union hall is in Pasadena, so they could check that he is who they say he is.
But I do find it hard to believe that a union construction worker in Southern California makes only $19K a year. |

I guess the part I don't buy is that the girls were under a false impression that this guy is rich when he isn't. I still think they knew the skinny and played along and are bound by a confidentiality agreement to not blab and were paid/paid off to play along and keep quiet. Big_Bear-did he say what union? That sounds kind of low even for an apprentice around here (except for their being laid off all winter). Is he Carpenters', Laborers'? Hmm |
