I seem to remember that promo too Swami....and I thought the same thing.

If he has to tell the girls before his final pick, then I can see Sarah just #####-slapping him and storming off muttering something about swallows or something like that.

That would probably lead alot more to him picking Zora at the end.

Interesting... I didn't hear about this. Thanks for posting this for our information.

If that's true about both girls learning the truth, then I'm now leaning towards Evan initially planning on selecting Sarah as his winner, but making a plea to the producers (a la his late night bitchfest a couple episodes ago) to agree to talk it out with both girls first before announcing a winner. Sarah yowls so Evan says "ok, see ya" and picks Zora.

>I also think that maybe Evan is playing dumber than he really is, and maybe he's playing this role in order to really weed out the bad ones. Can he really be the dope we're seeing on t.v.?

I didn't tape this series but there is something I keep remembering from the first episode that didn't quite fit for me. Evan made some kind of reference or analogy to Michaelangelo. Would a guy who doesn't know what ravioli is be making art history references? Any one else remember this?

Yes. He compared his bull-dozing life to Michelangelo. He says he feels like M. when starting a new project, shaping the earth (constructionism - a new art form), etc. I really wouldn't read too much into it though. He might have been comparing himself to Michelangelo, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I was wondering where he would have heard of him. That probably explains it.

>maybe Evan is playing dumber than he really is<

Oh I don't think so. I've watched him on ET and other shows. He seems like the same doofus we see on the show. LOL!

The "butler" is the REAL millionaire, who lent his chateu to Fox in return for the funny role in the series. After Evan confesses that he's a poor schmo, the Butler triumphantly announces that HE is in fact the millionaire. Sarah jumps into his lap, and more slurping noises ensue!

Monsieur Pepe,

Is there something WEIRD about a SUBSTITUTE teacher who is 29 years old???????

So... you'd think a 34- and 35-year-old substitute teacher would be even weirder? As it turns out, that's exactly what I was for the past two years before moving up to full time this year.

(don't worry... I got what you meant)

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."

i think it is a little weird. i know that teachers barely make enough to live on and subs make even less.

Actually, the income isn't too bad, depending on where you teach and how much seniority you've got. Colorado seems like a pretty upscale state compared to most of the others (I'm not up on the census figures, so don't shoot me please) so it could be that she does reasonably well enough to get by.

Of course, for all we know, the twist is that Zora is the rich one not Evan, and the sub teacher thing is a smokescreen. We'll find out awfully soon!

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on."

Here is one no one has thought of...Joe picks Sara (for obivous reasons) but she is in it for the money- so she dumps him.
He is waiting in the ballroom at the end and out walks......ALEX (just what has been happening behind the scenes???!!!)
They return to his crappy apartment, she overhauls it, and he is on TRADING SPACES!

were given in last night's previews of the "Final Finale". In the first footage, Evan was facing to his right. In the second, he was facing to his left. Unless there is some Neleh trickery/switchery going on, this seems to be evidence that he does indeed confess to both women.

Re: the twist...I have always felt like they would work some trick at the end to make Evan an actual millionaire...maybe give him a million just for finishing the show or something...but that would be sort of lame. There is another thread suggesting that he is offered a million if he is willing to dump both girls. That would indeed be a pretty good twist.

Here is yet another option...suppose they told him he must confess to both girls about his falsehoods, then, based on their reactions he must pick one and, if he can get the one he picks to agree to marry him, he will get a million, but he can't tell them about that aspect of it???

I will bet there are LOTS more tricky options! Any one else care to weigh in???
