VA Beach has been making a huge fuss over Rudy over the last few weeks, but it intensified in the last 3. Every Wednesday and Thursday they have a section--a "Rudy Watch"--in the local paper. It was reported 2 weeks ago that he just purchased a top-of-the-line 2001 Lincoln Town Car. The Mayor of Va Beach has declared that next week is "Rudy Boesch week" in VA Beach. A local radio station last week had (quote) "information about who wins, directly from a reliable source." You had to call in to find out who wins...they never said on the air...but if you called in, they told you it was Rudy. He goes to one of the naval bases every morning and still works out with the Seals, at72. That's just what's been going on around where Rudy lives....however, the purchase of the car is roughly the same amount as the legal fees that Rich had to spend to get out of the child abuse case. SO, it could be that both men had roughly the same amount of cash in the last few weeks in which to spend. I'm rooting for Rudy, but I don't know if actually wins or not based on this. To quote the man, "I dunno, I dunno"

Why is it assumed that mature, white men (queer or not) do not know how to sock away some money? I doubt that either one of these two were penniless before the show. I also doubt that either one of them would spend their entire earnings once they got back to the mainland. Also, nobody has collected any payment yet.

I could just see either one of these two guys saying to the banker: "I'm in a little bind right now. I need to borrow x amount of dollars. And I want to use my million dollar winnings as collateral." I'm sure that would really have kept the secret safe.

They did report (in the Virginian Pilot) that he paid for the whole thing up front.
