'Who wants to marry a millionaire.' Except the 'millionaire' is a fake and the victims are being lead down the garden path.
Faux Network has hit rock bottom and begun to dig....

I've seen commercials for this upcoming show. All I can say is "WTF?" It's bad enough that they're putting together a sham marriage, but then they're going to take away all of the woman's hopes for cash at the end? This is bullshit, even if any woman who takes part in this kind of thing is a gold-digging tramp.

I know it's evil but every time I see the commercial it makes me chuckle. A moment after that I feel bad for the women because they are going to go through all of this crap and then, if they dump the guy because he's broke, look like crap themselves.

There's another reality show that could be interesting. It's the one like Big Brother but they put a bunch of formerly famous people in a house. Just having Vince Neil (Motley Crüe) and Corey Feldman in the same house should be interesting. I don't remember who else is going to be in the house but on tour this summer Vince Neil was majorly drunk all the time. I even heard an interview on the radio where he showed up drunk with a stripper. I think it was even for a national program. Rockline or something like that.

That's getting really mean-spirited. Even for reality tv.

I can't wait for reality TV to face the cold hard reality of PLUMITING ratings. Then perhaps we could have a where are they now special on all the execs who pushed for just 'one more season'.

What a pack of worthless fucktard sonsofbitches.
Just for ratings, they fuck up the lives of all those women who might actually care about the man in question.

Homer is one of my greatest heroes.
I tolerate Fox only because they're screening the Simpsons.

Amen.
That is the
only reason I even look at Fox.
Otherwise, it's Sci-fi, CNN, and some movie channels.

I think that Fox's behavior is appalling in going down the path of willful dishonesty in order to make a reality television series. They are clearly misrepresenting the man for no reason other than to play upon women and their emotions.

Well, I guess I'll play Devil's advocate here. If these women truely fall in love with this man, then the money issue should be no problem. However if they are golddiggers, which they probably are, then I have no sympathy for them.
Besides, I was a construction worker. What's wrong with construction workers?

Nope, nothing wrong with construction workers. Salt of the earth.

Why do I get the feeling that this show is one big lawsuit waiting to happen?

Because it is.
I bet Fox has had a team of lawyers lined up for awhile now.

I still love the premise of the show is seeing whether or not a guy LYING throughout the entire relationship is going to succeed.
That alone makes one wonder.

I doubt it. If I know one thing about women, they don't like you lying to them. This will end in pain and a lawsuit.

I'd dump the guy cause he lied to me.

BTW, I got that show beat. The WB is producing a show called, 'Surreal World.' It's like MTV's Real World, expect instead of normal people, the house will be filled with ex-celebs like M.C. Hammer, Webster and Corey Haim (or was it Corey Feldman?)

The show concept is morally insane, the gold digging women deserve it anyway, and there's nothing with construction workers! They tend to have nice hard muscles anyway

Ya I know I'm going queer on ya but my hot date last night had to go home early (damn roommates!) ROFL
