PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"What is the prize money?" |
This is only the second faux Romance Reality Show that I have seen (the other being Joe Millionaire). Maybe I am missing something, but I have read most of the posts and articles on this site and can find no mention of how much money these guys are competing for. Survivor and Big Brother are very up front regarding the prise money, and on Joe Millionaire the women would get valuable jewelry at the end of each round. I understand that it spoils the illusion of romance to find out that the men are competing more for the money than for the girl, but I harbour no such illusions and want to know how much they are getting.

Thanks for the feedback. You seem very adamant about there being no, nada, zip prize money or compensation. If that is true, these guys are total losers (and/or media whores), because the odds that this woman will become romantically involved with one of them is 1000-1. At least the women in Joe Millionaire got a free trip to Europe (+?). Despite your conviction on the matter, I am still skeptical. How is it you are so convinced that there is no prize money? (please don't say because you read the disclaimer at the end of the show)

I know some of the guys...so unless THEY are lying...The reason for doing it? The reason I was given was because it looked like fun (They DID think they were going to be in a show called "Life of the Party.") Once there, a "What the H*** atmosphere" ensued.... They did say it was fun, not necessarily just because of the girl, but hanging with the other guys, going on the "dates," r
rock climbing, spa, water skiing, and other things that happen on future shows, even just hanging out around the pool was cool. Summer camp for adults...

Is it possible that they signed a non disclosure agreement? And that they were coached on how to answer such questions in a negative manner without really lying? I would think that such non disclosure terms would be SOP in such TV shows. I know I sound paranoid, but I just can't concieve of anyone, other than a wantabe actor, agreeing to be on this show.

>Thanks for the feedback. You seem
>very adamant about there being
>no, nada, zip prize money
>or compensation.Why are you so adamant about there BEING a prize? You admit Joe Millionaire is the only other reality show you've seen, so what makes you an expert? The fact is Average Joe is *NOT* a "deceptive" reality dating show like Joe Millionaire or For Love Or Money where the contestants are actively hiding a secret from the singles or vice versa. It's a straight Bachelor-like dating show with the hook being that the men aren't total studs. That makes it no different than The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Bachelorettes In Alaska, The Dating Experiment, Mr. Personality, or dozens of other dating shows where there WAS NO PRIZE. Honestly... if there was a prize, what would be the point of having the contestants compete for it and then edit the show and not tell the viewers about it? W -SB
