-------------------------------
Former Midlander David Smith has a tough job ahead of him. He has to select a winning contestant from either Linda or Kat, two very nice, beautiful European women.
"The Next Joe Millionaire, An International Affair" has been airing on Fox, and I've addressed it previously here, here and here (this last one has the photo).
In Monday night's episode David Smith eliminated one contestant, and in a surprising twist another one, Linda, was brought back from the past. Actually, Linda had left voluntarily, so she was the most logical one to bring back. If they had brought back one of the women he had willingly rejected then her return may have been awkward for everyone.
It's going to be a tough choice for David. I doubt if anyone really expects true love to result from his selection, after all, reality shows are really just a new form of tv game show. But with the same decision he also decides which one of the women loses. And that's what makes it so tough. I suspect that is why David expressed so much anguish in Monday's show. Just do your best David, no one is going to fault you for that.
The show business prospects for former reality show contestants aren't that great. I think they usually end up making appearances at mall openings and similar localized events until someone else comes along who hasn't yet used up their 15 minutes of fame. But, David's life before Joe Millionaire was in the rodeo. So, whatever else happens to him as a result of his role in the show, he's sure to be a big draw at rodeos. Good luck guy!
The two hour finale is scheduled for Monday, November 24.
