"For Love or Money" - do you watch it?

CutiePie2000 · #1 06-03-2003, 01:29 PM

I have to say, I like this show..it's kind of like "The Bachelor" with a Joe Millionaire twist, sort of. 15 girls compete for 1 guy, but what the girls know (and he DOESN'T know) is that the whoever he picks, also gets $1 million. What the girls DON'T know is that at the end of the show, the winning girl either has to pick the guy or the $1 million...THEY CAN'T HAVE BOTH!!

http://www.nbc.com/For_Love_or_Money/

Here's the premise, if you're not familiar with the show:
In this new unscripted drama series, 15 beautiful girls come for love but are surprised to learn in the first episode that there is also a million dollar prize at stake - but the winner and the bachelor will not know that she ultimately must choose between the man of her dreams or $1 million. Jordan Murphy (“Boston Public”) hosts the six-episode series, guiding the contestants through numerous twists and turns as they try to win the heart of a handsome and charming Dallas defense attorney. Though the bachelor is unaware of the $1 million incentive, the women know from the beginning that the lucky girl he chooses will win the money - prompting viewers to wonder if they’re really pursuing him “For Love or Money.”

I'm glad that Cristy C was dropped because not only was she inconsiderate in vandalizing Paige's art, she looks like a "she-male"!! Oy!

I watched it, but once it hit the 1.5 hour mark and still wasn't over, I turned it off. So I only saw 2 of the girls that got kicked off. I'm glad he kicked off the "she-male" cuz she was SO obnoxious, and I can't believe what she did to that poor girl's art! And then she was like, "well I will just paint you another one."

Did you honestly believe those girls who claimed they were legitimitally enchanted by him?

Yeah, me and two friends (girls) watched it........goes to show how much exactly there is to do during the Summer.

OK, i'm not going to lie.. I watched it last night!

I didnt like that "she-male" either.. "i'll paint you another one"?!?!?!

I didn't watch the whole thing though.. 2 hours was just too long.. and i lost interest after the 'interviews' during their lunch.

Does he remind anyone else of an odd combination of the Wilson brothers?

librasoul22 · #6 06-03-2003, 02:24 PM

I watched it. I thought the dark haired evil chick that was drunk with she male shoulda got kicked off too.

Stacy is freaking beautiful.

Does anyone else think Rob is a soulless robot? He has even LESS personality than Joe Millionaire.

I think this show could turn out to be pretty interesting.

kddani · #7 06-03-2003, 02:33 PM

i thought the guy had the personality of a wet mop. and that's being generous.

at least all the guys on the bachelor were really outgoing and had some sort of personality to shine through. I might even go so far to say that the Joe Millionaire guy had a better personality! And I couldn't stand him.

texas*princess · #8 06-03-2003, 02:34 PM

i thought he had no personality as well. Maybe that's why he's not married yet

he acutally did! his voice was awful though. was he really interested in anything? I miss the smooth talking bachelors and Joe Millionaire

i odn't know how much i like this one, and that's a lot considering i'm a joe millionaire, bachelor/bachelorette, Married By America and Mr. Personality adict.

Bwah ha ha ha! I so AGREE!
That Kelly is EEEEV-UL!!

Another she-male shot:

Stacy is freaking beautiful.
That she is

I think Erin is quite lovely too:

Yes, he has the personality of a wet mop. Hopefully he'll step it up soon!

and a very wise GC'er pointed out to me the similarity between Mo-Jo from Joe Millionaire

and Paige

(actually in Pic #2, Paige looks like Kelly Clarkson, the American Idol!)

Hm, I've never even heard of this show. The premise is kind of depressing to me -- I can't say that I'd be a fan of a show that's based on manipulating people like this. At least on the Bachelor, everybody knew what they were in for and there were no "twists" that are bound to put people in very uncomfortable situations. I think that's kind of sad.

But on a lighter note, damn, that shemale is SCARY!!

AXO Alum · #12 06-03-2003, 03:56 PM

{AXO Alum breaking it out} That guy is U-G-L-Y he ain't got no alibi - he's ugly, yeah yeah, he's ugly!!!

So I watched last night, but I didn't mean to...I mean I heard about it on the radio yesterday (for the first time) - and then got home last night late from a meeting. Hadn't eaten, and wanted a bowl of Cheerios before bed - so this was on. I saw it just as he came in for the lunch interviews. I didn't know any of the women, but I was really hoping the she-male would go. All those "pouty" faces she was making at him - I was like...WHAT?!

Anyway, the premise is mean - now we just have to wait for the scandal that you know will come up...

Oh, and that one girl looked like a POODLE last night with those pants - I was like...{AXO Alum on loud speaker} "Fashion designer to the set ASAP - we have an emergency!"

texas*princess · #13 06-03-2003, 04:53 PM

at the very end the girl who 'won' had to choose between the guy and the million bucks while on camera?

AXO Alum -- LOL @ the 'ugly' song!!! hehehe.. that totally made me laugh!

KillarneyRose · #14 06-03-2003, 05:08 PM

I'm sorry, but there's NO FREAKING WAY this is a woman. Maybe the finale will be kind of like "The Crying Game" revisited?!?

LMAO.

CutiePie, I thought Paige looked like Kelly Clarkson as well!

Kelly was perhaps more evil out of her and the shemale because at least shemale admitted what she did. Kelly was like "that was my roommate!" LIAR. And also when she said "a million? That's not a lot. I could blow that in one day on a shopping spree."

Hoe, if you had a million to blow on a shopping spree, I SERIOUSLY doubt you would be on this show. Shut up.

Also, I was thinking last night. If I was one of those chicks who got voted off, I probably would have been like "well there's also a million dollars at stake, so nyah!" and ruined the whole show. lol. Pride, I tell ya,
