Stupid, inane, brain-dead drivel!
What a piece of stupid tripe.
I won't even waste time evaluating any of the points of this show. It's not worth the time. The one comment I will make is - why get such a DUMB, inarticulate doofus to be the star?!?
There aren't many more dismal testimonials to the deteriorating mental condition of the networks than the fact that FOX has stated it will NOT bring back John Doe (a decent series) but WILL bring back brain-dead drivel like Joe Millionaire for yet another round of killing the brain cells of the american public.
FOX has lost it, IMHO.

Do people really watch this stuff?
You loose 100 IQ points just for tuning in. This show has to be awful, I refuse to tune in from just what I've seen in commercials. Where did they dig this guy up at anyway? Also, what do they intend to do next season? The secret is out. Everyone already knows the set up? Are they going to look for people who has been living under a rock to star in next season? Where are they going to dig up more stupid women? No wonder America is a big joke to outsider's,look what you are watching!!

The dirty truth
This is reality TV at it's best! Lies, sex and money! Dynasty wasn't this good! What happens when you put 20 women in a house with a newly made millionaire? It is almost impossible to believe this is non-scripted television. Money does bring out the worst in some.
Not that bad
Joe Millionaire is kind of like `The bachelor' with a catch. Evan, the bachelor is this case, is a regular Joe, who makes 19,000 a year, and who inherits 50 million dollars. But here's the catch, he hasn't actually inherited the money, and the female contestants believe that he has. And so the show is about these women trying to catch his affections, while each week he picks who he wants to stay. At the end, he will tell the one he picks the truth, and we will all find out if love or money prevails. I have watched a few episodes, and I have a confession to make. It's one of my guilty pleasures of life. Yeah yeah, it's reality TV, but for me and a lot of people out there enjoy watching it. It's not exactly quality television though; so if major quality is what you watch, then don't watch it. But if you want to see a new reality TV show for entertainment purposes, then I defiantly recommend this one.
Get over the $$$'s GIRLZ!!
It's June 1st. 2005. I saw Evan Marriott on t.v. the other day.He happened to be mentioning some of the mean things women say to him when they see him,because of him being on "Joe Millionaire" and not telling the truth about how much $$$'s he really make (or something to that effect). D**N! Get over it,girlz!You know you would have only wanted the money too. Not Evan.Or true love.Why is EVERYONE becoming so materialistic in this lifetime?You can't take the money with you when you die.And although a person can't completely live without some cash.I think it's a lot less lonely at night being held by true love's arms than by $$$. T.V. is acting,right? DUH! Personally,I'm thrilled for Evan. He bought his own construction company.Cool! I doubt he'll ever settle for less than true love.I hope all your dreams come true Evan! I hope you find the one who makes your heart smile.

A Guilty Pleasure
A parody of THE BACHELOR, most episodes of JOE MILLIONAIRE are quite funny while the final episode is surprisingly moving. Evan Marriott's decency makes the cruel concept palatable. Unfortunately, the show does not fully explore the issues it raises about love, money, and honesty in relationships. At the very least, the program provides constant images of attractive people in beautiful settings, which is not the worst way to spend a few hours. Even by reality television standards, JOE MILLIONAIRE suffers from poor editing and storytelling.
Unreality show
This show started out good. It showed that most women are evil golddiggers who could care less about a guy if he doesn't have a ton of $.
But then this show was changed and scripted to be this sweet fairy tale about Evan and Sera, who we're made to beleive found love, and will go off into the sunset with a million dollars, and they'll live happily ever after. But to anybody out there that cried and beleived this nonsense, I'd like to sell you the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Evan and Sera are two aspiring actors that were on TV to make a name for themselves. And they succeeded. Sera will no longer have to star in Cinemax level movies shot on video like "Sillicon Valley", where all the guys are drooling over her big fun bags.

That man is HOT!
With or without $50 million, that man is HOT! Personally, I'm not a fan of "reality television", but this show is compelling. Maybe it's Evan's good looks, great body, adorable dimples, or sweet boyish charm. In any event, I do find it enjoyable to watch. Can't wait for the next episode.
Kind of boring despite all of the hype.
When I first heard about this crazy new reality show, I thought it was a pretty interesting premise. Unfortunately, most of the episodes were just boring and tedious, with multiple flashbacks to past dates that dragged on forever. Fox seriously needs to be smacked upside the head for making its audience suffer so much. I mean, come on, did we really need a 2-HOUR finale? That's stretching my attention span a bit. I did tune in for the last 30 minutes or so of the finale, but in the end the big moment everyone was waiting for (when the girl finds out about her Joe's true past), was a huge bust. She just sat there, smiling, not doing a thing. Then the final scene in the ballroom felt genuinely staged, with false suspense created as we waited to see if the lovely lady would show up after all. She did, of course, and recited a speech only Hollywood executives could think was believeable. Fox tried to get one more punch in with The Aftermath, a bonus episode that told us what happened later. I didn't tune in for this one, though, becuase I did not want to be tricked into watching another snore-fest hour. And why did they call it The Aftermath? That sounds like something MSNBC would use to describe the effects of a hurricane or earthquake. It's not like Joe killed the girls one by one. Now with everything said and done, Fox is prepping a new gimmicky show called Married by America. Something tells me I won't be watching that one, as it sounds even more loathsome and flash-in-the-pan. As for the possibility of a Joe Millionaire 2, I roll my eyes at the idea. Why would anyone want to watch this premise all over again? They would have to put something really new and clever into the mix to get me to come back. Personally, I like Saturday Night Live's ideas: Joe Rapist, Joe Woman, etc. Hee hee...1/4
Why? WHY?!!!
Just when we thought Fox couldn't sink any lower than "Temptation Island", "Who Wants To Marry a Multi-Millionaire?" and "American Idol" combined, along comes a show where a bunch of bubble-headed gold-digging bimbos compete to marry a so-called millionaire and then find out that's it's all a lie. Anybody who would subject themselves to that kind of humiliation deserves whatever they get. And to think that there was a time when there were actually GOOD shows on this perpetually pathetic channel. They only good shows they DO have are "The Simpsons", "Futrama", "Mad TV" and "America's Most Wanted". But if you like watching 100% supercrap, you'll love this latest atrocity known as "Mr. Personality".

Why did they destroy such a great idea...
I have to start by saying that I'm a great fan of reality tv (Survivor rules), and I was looking forward to this show. But the disappointment was big. Great idea, but made really boring. The girls are not pretty and have nothing great about them (for example the girls of Bachelor are much better). Evan, the main star, is boring as hell and the butler really ruins the show. If they do a follow-up I hope they change the concept!!!
That was sooo nine months ago.
I think the first one was a success because nothing like it had ever been done before and we wanted to see the feuds between the women. Evan was semi-hot, too, and the butler was cool. But now, we have the same thing going on with greedy European women and a squeaky-voiced Texan. Rather passé.
