Evan Marriott chooses Zora Andrich, she chooses him, and then they split 1 million dollars on Joe Millionaire
Cool twist, but I saw it coming all the way. What I didn’t see coming was him having the guts to choose Zora. Yes, I pegged her as his girl several episodes ago, but as he talked about their ups and downs along the way, I became uneasy. When he said “I choose you” norcaldoll and I broke out a big smile. Great moment. Zora was obviously his type all along. She has the Cinderella background. For crying out loud her town’s mayor came on television to say what a nice person she is. Score one for the underdog, especially since she also took home 500 grand. All the while she pretty much stuck to her morals, didn’t prostitute her body, and represented herself well.
Sarah, on the other hand, acted like a spoiled brat who had just been told by her father that he wouldn’t buy her a pony. Check out Top n Lists for a few choice quotes from her and other girls. It was a great move by Fox to allow her smoking buddy Melissa back into the chateau to help her pack. That created some great mumbled sniveling. I kept waiting for her to say “I put out for that ungrateful jerk, and do you know how much these boobs cost me?” but it never happened.
As for the premise, I tend to agree with Joel Stien of Entertainment Weekly who wrote that most men lie to women in order to get in the door anyway. I’m not really offended too easily, and I see these shows as comedies, not dramas. Paul the butler was funny to look at and listen to. Alex was easily the worst reality “host” in the history of television. Heidi made everyone forget about Jerry Manthey from Survivor: Africa and that can’t be a bad thing. She makes Jerry look calm, cool and collected. Psycho freak much?
What I really enjoyed is all the spurned women turning around and saying they didn’t really like Evan. Yeah, whatever girls. There is an aftermath show because let’s face it, Fox has The Simpsons, American Idol and nothing else going. They’ve stretched this pancake as thin as they can get it. I’ll probably wind up commenting on that show as well, but for the time being I’m done ranting. Comments are welcomed and encouraged.
Subtlety is not one of my strengths
