I caught the last four segemts of " the Bachelor". It was not all it was crack up to be. It probably going to be the same for "Joe Millionare". The Show " Elimidate" is more exciting. It may be a stupid show, but it's not boring

This is probably a weird linear descendant of Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire, the show that gave us larvy Darva Conger and icky Ricky Rockwell.

And I must chime in that a $19K a year man simply won't cut it for an older woman such as myself.

I don't want to be the primary breadwinner because I'm not in law, medicine or a heavy-balling field.

It depends on where he lives, really... I mean, I make around $19k a year and fully support myself plus am able to pay off debts and save money... it depends on cost of living in his area. Here in Wisconsin, you can rent a decent sized house for $500/month... in other places, that wouldn't buy you a cardboard box to put over your head.

It does depend on the region. I'm in Southern California and don't want to move.

the SNL skit with ben affleck, "who wants to marry an eleventhousandaire?" it was hilarious. He had a bachelorette, and chris katan.

wooohoo, I'm JL

Still, I don't really think the point is that he isn't wealthy, I think it's that he and the network are lying. Yes, I'm sure many, if not most, of the women are gold-diggers; but they shouldn't be tricked.

I know...and I'll watch and laugh right along with the rest of yall. I just thought it was funny that people were making 19k a year sound like the guy had to be homeless.

And here are the gullible women

How many of you want to bet that after the show, his "part time model" status will go to full time?

I bet that will make him go up from 19K a year!lol!

I think they should have asked all "The Bachelor" rejectees back on to do this show!!!
