2. "Wasn't that sweet?" |
I knew Zora was going to get money when I heard her talking about selling one of the necklaces to help her relative with cancer. The way she said it indicated that she didn't have to sell any necklaces, ergo 1) she was the one Evan picked, and 2) she got money from SOME source.Of course, it could always have been that Evan was really rich and so helped her out with the cancer money. As it turned out, she and Evan split a million dollars. Not too far off from what many of the expert spoilers on this page were thinking, so congratulate yourselves, one and all.  They kind of drug it out, and just shied away from Sarah's "foot modeling" career, but all-in-all it was okay. Is anyone going to watch next week? 
Contradictions don't exist. If you are faced with a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

4. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
That was adorable. They were the best couple, from all those girls.When Evan was making that speech to Zora, I thought he was going to be telling her she wasn't the girl he was choosing. It was almost a throw-away line, when he said "I choose you." I hope someone is going to watch The Aftermath and recap it - I know I'll be watching but I think someone else should have the opportunity to sign up to recap it.

5. "GRRRRRR" |
Guess what. We were all settled in to watch the show and all was going well for the first hour and half. Then just as Evan sat down with Zzzzora, the closed captioning went on the fritz. I checked the other networks and they all were fine, so it's the cheap bastards at FUX that evidently didn't pay the captioning people enough to last through a full two hours.That's right. Evan's entire spiel to both Zzzzzzzzzzora and Sara-ho went uncaptioned and the rest of the show, as well. Just when things were getting meaty... poof. Oh well. You can bet I'll be watching next Monday to see where things stand with Evan and Zora, see if Zora has maimed him for life after seeing his slap'n'tickle in the woods with Sarah.

7. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-17-03 AT 10:46 PM (EST)I was surprisingly pleased for some reason. Bottom line, I think Evan made the right choice. The major plus for me about this show was I finally got my mom addicted to a reality tv show, which is really hard to do. She has eschewed Survivor, BB, and all the other shows, but she called me just about very commercial break during tonight's Joe Millionaire. My parents have given so much to me, genetically and financially, I'm just glad I could give something back: My love/hate relationship with reality tv. Oh, during one of those phone calls, right when Zora was left waiting for Evan on the couch, my mom said, "He's not going to choose her. They're showing her first." My reply: "Mom. Dear sweet Mom, it's all in the editing. You'll learn more as you continue to watch and retch over these shows." Mon

8. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
Am I the only one who is disappointed? Maybe I read too many of the spoiler boards, but Fox really went out of their way to promote this show as having a HUGE twist ending. We sat through 7 (or 8?) weeks and then two more hours tonight just to see Paul walk in with a check? They didn't even have to earn it, they just had to make it to the end. This is a big let down to me, but then again after last week, I really shouldn't be so shocked.

I'm a knitter and have been drooling over all the gorgeous sweaters on this show. Interesting how my knitting and reality tv personas intertwine.

You're right dajaki, a twist would have been a reunting of the other 19 girls to walk into the ballroom while he was waiting for Zora...THEN *Ghetto porn music comes on* "Bow Chicka Bow Bow..." Zora walks in on a big massive aggressive orgy, now there's your twist!

17. "Five thoughts" |
1) Congratulations to the lucky winners!
2) Evan's mission the whole time was to find someone who liked (not loved) him for himself and not his money. At that he chose wisely. So I give him credit for a little intelligence, though I suspect he had a lot of help from Paul.
3) The happy ending was typical Hollywood BS. I'm not sure even the Mouse House (Disney) would authorize such cheese.
4) At least the winners got a tangible award unlike SOME shows I could name.
5) The whole episode was kind of a shrug for me. I came in a few minutes before 9, because I figured nothing much would happen before then. I watched the whole "Zora is great" segment, then the real episode. The best part was when Melissa showed up and she and Sarah got to show their true colors. Someone should give the frizzy-haired one her own show.

18. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
First, I was very happy with the ending, but am afraid next week Zora will fall out of love with Evan. I hope not, but I know it would be hard to watch the scenes with the other girls. Hope that didn't change her tune.As for the knit-wear modeling (yes, I do think it's her), get real, she didn't make a bunch of money off of that. Probably $500 a job or something. She's not modeling for the GAP for cripes sake. And on her likely income, $500 meant that she got to buy some new jeans to go with her sweaters. I think Zora is a very deserving winner of half a mil. Evan...eh, I guess he deserves it.

36. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
Agree, about Zora being the real winner of the show. She got 500,000 plus she did not slut her way through France. She remained honest, she did not act like a horny, money grubber. She enjoyed her time. She played with animals, and showed her compassionate side.So no matter what happens, she is beautiful, and has an honest, likable personality. She should do fine. I hope this exposure gets her what she deserves, which, IMO is a lot. One of the nicest reality TV players, EVER.

20. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
I have to say the "sap" in me was elated when he chose her and I also have to say that if this was all scripted then the writers did an outstanding job. I too, thought he was going to blow off Zora and then didn't and isn't that just like a man to say one thing but really be meaning something else. LOL. Then she did the same thing in the ballroom, I figured she was politely telling him she could never trust him and then she pulled a whammy and let her heart rule her head. I also felt that if this was indeed "scripted" wouldn't he have promised never to lie to her again? All in all I was really pleased with whole thing but have to say I can't stand Paul. He is too "cheeky" for me. I will absolutely watch next week because I want to see if they look like a couple on the verge of love or on the verge of stardom.

23. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
I'm glad Zora won, I'm still not sure Evan deserves her, but time will tell. She was the only one of the 5 girls that wasn't a goldigger. LMAO at the biatch session between Sarah and Melissa. Sarah said that she knew before-hand that he wasn't rich? Ummm....not as far as I could tell. The really funny part was when Sarah was asking if Melissa thought she wasn't chosen because of her "kissing". Melissa had this astonished look on her face, like maybe she just then realized why she got the boot! Oh, and them worrying if the jewelry was real-what a hoot! Like that didn't show the world exactly what they were after. I'm happy that FOX gave them the cash. I wish it all would have gone to Zora alone. Evan will have enough $ by cashing in on his new found fame. I don't see them lasting out forever, because I think Evan is too stupid not to chase after other women. Yep-I'll be watching next week just to see how they interact with each other now that Zora has seen the whole show.

25. "How do they split the money?" |
Do Evan and Zora get $500,000 each, or do they somehow have to stay together to get the $1 million? The Banker in me is focused on the check being written out to BOTH of them, which means they would have to either deposit it into a joint account, or one would have to sign it over to the other one, and then the person who deposits it would have to turn around and write a check to the person who signed it over for their half. This would require faith on the part of the person who signs it over. Or do the Producers cut a real check (instead of a prop) for $500,000 to each of them? It will be interesting to find out, because with Evan hitting on Mary Hart I doubt they'll end up together and I want Zora to get her half.

33. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
I thought it was pretty good...I was glad that he picked Snora and glad that she ended up with something tangible out of this, because I really can't see the two of them making it after the show.As far as the twist goes....LAME....hell several of the people on this board came up with that after EP 1....and Paul just kept on and on about a HUGE TWIST....I wasn't expecting the big orgy that Black Frost was....but would have damn sure liked to have seen it  I was expecting to be a little suprised by the twist...I just thought that it would be a little more than it was. I loved Smilessa coming back to have a smoke and complain with Sar-ahhhhhhhh....and I laughed my ass off at the "sock-job"!! I will watch next week just to see what happens...one promo I heard said that they will be together for the first time since France...but last night they said for the first time "in-public" since France....did anyone else catch that? as far as Joe hitting on Mary Hart...I wouldn't put it past Fux to have put him up to that just to get some talk started...I don't even think he is dumb enough to do that knowing that he signed a contract that said he had to keep the results of the show and the new relationship a secret till the end of the show.

I think if they do another series even remotely close to this, they need to read this board and get some better ideas for endings. There was no twist here...maybe they're saving it for next week? No, that'd be too much to ask.

39. "RE: Zora and one million dollars" |
I think we get a little let down when we are on the boards week after week dicussing the show. We already had a good idea who was going to win and that there would be some cash at the end, so the surprise is jaded. However, I'm very happy it was Zorra in the end.Next week, we'll find out the distance between them made it impossible to carry on a relationship. That will explain why Evan has been seen hitting up on Lauren Bush, every hostess on every show he appears on, etc... As far as the money, Evan has been spending his share easily. Super Bowl, court side at Lakers games, Palms restaurant for dinner, he's living the life right along Jack Nickelson, and I say good for him! If he had enough sense to pick Zorra as the woman with the most character, he deserves it.
