I can't lose this time!
OK. I know I have been wrong in the past when I've tried to predict reality-TV winners, and have since decided this is a practice better left to Doug. But I'm going to do it this one last time, because there's no way I can be wrong on this one. Actually, I guess I can technically be wrong, but if I am, it will disrupt my entire belief system in a most catastrophic way.
The show of which I speak is, of course, Average Joe. And my prediction is that Melena is going to pick the "average" one. (Despite having watched nearly every episode of this show, I still don't know what the guys' names are. I think maybe the "average" guy is named Adam. What is the "cute" guy's name? Jason? Branson? Something like that. I don't know.)
Anyway. As I have said many a time (and I don't remember exactly where, so sorry, no link), no girl, even if she is shallow enough to judge a guy based solely on looks, is stupid enough to willingly make herself look like a bitch on national TV. (Well, OK, maybe Paris Hilton is the exception to that rule.) Seriously, there's no way she's going to pick the "cute" guy. Who would pick a model who lives with his parents and can't hold up his end of a conversation over a relatively good-looking (or at least not bad-looking), witty self-made millionaire? Not I, that's for sure. Especially not if in doing so, I would walk into a trap not-so-carefully set by the producers of the show.
Which brings me to my next point. How "average" is the guy, really, if he's a millionaire? I mean, I don't know about you, but most of the guys I meet on a regular basis are not millionaires (that I know of). It's also a little suspect that, in the end, this reality show also comes down to the great money vs. abs debate, supposedly without any intervention from the producers. But it all seems a little to good to be true to me. Like, did the producers rig it so Melena (seriously, who named this chick?) would pick Adam (or whatever the hell his non-average name is) because they knew he had the money? Or is it as Kristen suggested -- did all of the "Average Joes" really have loads of money hiding in the background? Either way, it's kind of skeevy. And to think, I thought this was going to be the one show where it didn't come down to abs vs. money! I thought this was the one where personality would actually be a factor. Guess I was wrong.
