Joe $500 Thousandaire
February 18th, 2003Joe Millionaire Finale in one act:
Evan: “Uh. I choose you.”
Zora: “Really?”
–
Zora: “Let’s see where this goes.”
Evan: “Really?”
–
Paul the Butler: “Hey you crazy kids, here’s a million dollars!”
Evan: “Really?”
Zora: “Really?”
–
End
–
And with actual anti emotion (not positive or negative), the show that stole a nation’s heart in the middle of an international crisis ended with a whimper.
Best summation from the local Fox affiliate went something like this:
Semi-polished (with really terrible hair) newswoman to Sorority Girl: “So why didn’t you want Sarah to win?”
Sorority Girl [with a self-assuredness that barely lets the newswoman finish]: “Sarah’s a slut.”
Zora was the most normal person to ever be involved in a “reality” television program. Sure, not so emotional. But MoJo and Sarah on the other hand? Sarah’s oral demonstration to Melissa? Whole new level.
Blowjob vs. Crazy Puzzle/Poem: MoJo might have been weird, but come on. Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Sarah gets the distinction for having popped the U.S.A. prime-time blowjob cherry. o

I was unblievably disappointed they didn’t just say “Sorry you whored yourself on national teevee to marry a stranger for his money, but he’s actually broke. Get a job and get your own money, tramp.”

Marx was wrong. Television is the opiate of the masses.

hiboux: i think that when they went on the show, they had no idea the dude was loaded. the producers probably told them that it was just like “the bachelor” and in episode one they learned about the $50 mill.
i think they should call the show joe milkionaire. that show is milking us for all we’re worth–next week, joe millionaire: the aftermilk…

Wow. Did EVERY local Fox affiliate film sorority Joe Millionaire parties in order to broadcast viewers’ reactions?
Or,
Are sorority sisters the spokeswomen for public opinion and pop culture?

So that is what she was telling Melissa! Call me clueless, but I had no IDEA she gave the BDG a hummer.
And what about Sarah’s constant sound affects (the moan/sigh combo after every sentence)? Ugh.

now wait, wasn’t sarah the bondage-film star? of course she gave the guy a hummer!
also, while i didn’t see that particular episode, a guy that i work with did - and had his closed captioning on at the time.
he said that the television read “slurp, slurp.”

You didn’t need closed captioning to see that — Fox inserted it for EVERYBODY.

It’s about time there was a nationally-known slut named Sarah. No more of this “plain and tall” bullshit.

i am a ho

Heh heh heh,
Do you really think Zora was surprised by the million dollars? She’s a smart cookie. Played nice with everyone and probably played the chances on walking out of there with a check or trip or something.
