"Was anyone able to read the fineprints at the ned of yesterday show?"
Posted by MrAnderson on 08-05-03 at 10:03 PM
I was only able to read the first 2 lines where it was saying that the contestants were told about the chances of winning...
Anyone please?
Thank you.

It read as follows:

Contestants are informed of the rules and must meet eligibility requirements to receive announced prizes.

Portions not affecting the outcome have been edited. The contestants may have consulted with producers regarding their choices and decisions.

The prize, which totals 2 million, is payable in a financial annuity based over 40 years, or the contestants may choose to receive the present cash value of the foregoing anuity.

The lead participant has been offered a consolation prize in conection with her appearance if she does not receive the 2 million dollar grand prize.

--------------

That's it! I wonder what they mean by "may have consulted with producers regarding their decisions/choices." Isn't that cheating?

Cheating....say it aint so...producers would never interfere with their "reality" stars to boost ratings now would they?

I'm sure that Eric dude has a twin by the same name that was on that other show. Of course he wouldn't be at all biased by the producers. After all..he's just so sweet and camera shy and dam there went my lunch.

I know, I was just saying why would they openly admit to it?

The money taker does not have to take an annuity? I assumed an annuity would be paid so the producer could cancel it if the money taker dated the finalist later on. In other words, in Part 1, what would have kept Erin from dating Rob after she took the present value of a million dollar annuity?

Ditto for Part 2.

They added a line to last night's show:

Rob Campos WAS paid a consolation prize.

Yeah...I noticed that and was rather surprised!!!

Maybe Rob was playing us and her too so he could get HIS "consolation prize" and didn't actually come back for a second chance at love!! Rather he came back to get his share of the pie!

And I was ALMOST starting to feel sorry for Rob!!

Rob's manner of speaking reminds me of the Chris Farley show on Saturday Night Live. (Please don't misunderstand. I loved Chris Farley.) "So, like, remember that time we went to Napa and took a ride in a hot-air balloon? Uh, do you remember that? Balloons are pretty cool, huh." This guy is a lawyer??

Rob should smack himself on the forehead every so often and then say, "Damn, that was a stupid thing to say." Sort of like that hilarious interview between Chris Farley and Paul McCartney.
