Joe Millionaire

[AOX81]

I'm glad it ended the way it did.

Is it just me or did Evan seem a little less stupid once the decision was made? His face just looked so much more relaxed, and he was speaking in complete sentences. And I admit.....when they showed one of his black & white modeling pics (He was laying on rocks or something)......I was drooling!!!

Yeah Zora!!! You won me $50!!!!

Oh I totally agree...I think anyone looks more relaxed once they tell the truth about a lie they were holding for a long time.

Yay for Zora!!! She was my favorite from the beginning...

breathesgelatin, thank you so much!

and geez.. what a bunch of sore losers some of those girls are!!! i only got to see the first 30 mins or so and the last 20 mins of it. I noticed all the "ladies of joe millionaire" just talked bad about him... oh well.

I'm really glad zora won.. it's like a Disney fairytale

What didn't she say??? LOL. Well, they started off by making fun of Evan and his loser-ishness and worrying and going off about whether or not the jewels in their necklaces were actually real.

That was out on the balcony and then they moved into her bedroom to chat and they were whispering so the cameras wouldn't catch it. Sarah was like "Do you think he cut me because of the incident in the woods?" and Melissa was like "No way". Then they decided that what Mojo had done with the lovey poem was way more loser-ish than what Sarah had done.

Sorry, I guess I missed a vital episode.....

What happened between Evan and Sara in the woods? Or do I not want to know?

Ughhhhh....

well we don't know for sure bc they escaped the cameras so there's no visual proof but the audio and captions were, among other things, "slurp" and "smack"

so classy.

A little thought... after Monday's epsisode, FOX showed a teeny preview of sorts about 'Joe Millionaire The Aftermath'. It said they will be "reunited" for the first time after the show.

Does that mean just that they can make public appearences together now?

Or that maybe things didn't work out?

What do you all think?

[sugar and spice]

I'm almost positive that it was in their contract that they couldn't see each other until the show was done airing -- if they could, somebody would see them together and spill it to the media and then nobody would bother to watch.

[xo_kathy]

I highly doubt they are together regardless. They didn't even hug after he said he picked her! Or when she came out later and said she'd give it a try, OR after he put the rock on her hand! There was a half-lipped awkward kiss, but there was NO chemistry. And there was a picture of him in the Post the other day meeting Laura(?) Bush - the Bush niece who models - at a Fashion Week event and he was staring right at her chest and it was reported he asked her for her digits.

I'm more convinced than ever that this show was staged from start to finish (come on! The shots of Zora helping the old people cross the street were a little bit too much), but still . . . what a cute ending!

Staged... yes. But I did hear that Zora volunteers at a retirement home, so that explains the old people scene.

[DeltaSigStan]

I think maybe when he told her that he chose her, the producers told them not to show any emotion, or touch....MAYBE....

Either way, Ev's not as dumb a guy as I thought, he DID pick the right girl, one who I didn't think existed.

Is "Big Joe" and Zora's Romance in Trouble?

Forty million viewers tuned into the Joe Millionaire finale to hear Evan Marriott say "I choose you" to subsitute teacher Zora Andrich. But the big news is that since the taping of the episode the "couple" is allegedly on the rocks. People Magazine snagged the couple's interview and Access Hollywood spoke to Zora's ex-boyfriend.

" I was kind of shocked that she accepted his offer to be with him," said Brian Gurniak, Zora's ex-beau.

Gurniak doesn't think it's a match made in heaven. The Physique Bodywear model was with Zora just days before she left for France to participate in the show. He recently weighed in on the odds of a long term Zora-Evan union.

"My hunch is 'No' because I think that she would want to have true honesty in a relationship. Somewhere along the line it probably entered her mind that this wasn't right for her," Gurniak told Access.

According to the latest issue of People Magazine, the relationship appears anything but hot and heavy. Evan told People that "Zora was an innocent girl who was sweet and nice. She was pretty. She was just the perfect girl for the show."

Zora, a New Jersey native, also doesn't sound like a woman madly in love. In the interview she said, "Is it possible to find true love in just a month with someone? Honestly, I think it would be highly unlikely. The chances of it are pretty slim."

Meanwhile, Evan continues to enjoy his 15 minutes of fame while tooling around L.A. in a new Mercedes. FOX is sending him on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii as a thank you for the huge ratings. Will Zora be by his side?

"To go on TV in front of millions of viewers and deceive 20 women and the public that he had all this wealth would not be something I think Zora would be attracted to," added Gurniak.

Either way, FOX is now scrambling to figure out a sequel to the mega-hit. But how do you dupe America twice? Network executives are kicking around an idea that involves men, women and lots of money. Now all they have to do is figure out how to turn that into another ratings blockbuster.

Fairy tales do come true, but now it's back to reality. Access Hollywood worked overtime to uncover the real Zora -- from her ex-boyfriend to her lost movie.

Zora acted in the low-budget Silicone Valley in 2001, playing a woman named Misty that men just couldn't resist (sound familiar?). She was paid $200 for her work in the unfinished film. Access is the first to air Silicone Valley clips to a mass audience.

To prepare for her stint on Joe Millionaire, Zora once again dug deep into method acting mode. Her ex Brian was there.

"Two days before she had the part we were together watching the movie French Kiss starring Meg Ryan," recalled Gurniak. "Zora wanted to learn the language in France a little bit better and that's why she rented the movie. But that night we didn't watch too much of the movie if you know what I mean."

First: He's an Ex-BF. What the hell does he know? If he knew that well and understodd her that completely, he wouldn't be an ex.

Oh and wait . . . She rented French Kiss to learn more aboutt he French language? Does that make her or him a moron?

IF, and I mean IF, this is true, then I have three words:

BIG F*CKING SURPRISE

[LeslieAGD]

Argh, it was lame. I almost wish he had picked Sarah. At least then we would have seen our train wreck, instead of a Disney ending.

About Zora's ex-bf...he's just looking for his fifteen minutes!
