----------------------------
"The Next Joe Millionaire: An International Affair" premiered on Fox last night. I missed it, but a friend told me about it - thanks Bob.
The first "Joe Millionaire", the tv reality show, drew 40 million viewers for the finale. So, there had to be a sequel, and with this one they selected 14 European women who did not know about the first one.
Anyway, to the point. The new Joe Millionaire is a guy from Midland! Here's what USA Today said:
David Smith, spotted by producers at a rodeo, plays the role of millionaire. The 24-year-old from Midland, Texas, makes $11,000 a year and lives in a trailer, his income boosted by his dad, who's in the oil business.Smith watched only the finale of Joe Millionaire, so he wasn't quite sure what he was getting into. "I thought it was a group of guys and a group of girls. I don't watch much TV. When you're on the road, you sleep in the truck a lot.
And here's more of the same from the Fort Worth Star Telegram:
Debuting tonight, it features hunky Texan David Smith, a 24-year-old rodeo cowboy from Midland/Odessa whose $11,000-a-year salary is even smaller than previous JM bachelor Evan Marriott's $19,000. The dirty trick, of course, is that he's pretending to be worth $80 million while wooing 14 European lovelies in a glamorous villa in the Italian countryside.I've got to remember to set the VCR!
