I think that the guy they picked to be “Joe Millionaire” does a pretty good job of handling things. I’ve only seen one episode, but I was impressed at his honest (relatively speaking) presentation of himself. He speaks and acts like the simple guy that he is. He takes the girls on dates that test their character (making them muck stalls before riding horses, shovel coal before a train ride, pick several rows of grapes before enjoying the winery). He doesn’t seem like a showy guy at all—they put some nicer clothes on him and brushed his hair, but really didn’t attempt to make him into the polished gentleman that he’s not. I appreciate his approach to the show and the situation far more than that of the Bachelorette (who I’ve also seen in one episode). In general, I dislike this type of show and am disgusted by the deception in this version, but for what it is, I think it’s fairly well done and interesting.
