Or the best show ever, I can't decide. Depends on my current opinion of trash TV, because Joe Millionaire is the king of trash. Trash piled upon trash. Subtle layers of trash. Under huge stinking piles of trash. A quick synopsis: following along the lines of The Bachelor, twenty women are competing for the affections of one man. The women have been told that the man (Evan) has just inherited $50 million and is looking to find his true love. They are flown to a beautiful chateau in France and dazzled by the elegance of their hopeful beau's lifestyle. The Machiavellian (to the producers, at least) twist: Evan has no inheritance. He earns $19,000 per year as a construction worker. If you thought Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire? was bad, this is Hitler-esque.

Alternately, I couldn't bear to watch, then was laughing uncontrollably at the antics of these poor fools. Not fools for being deceived, but fools for agreeing to be on a televised dating competition in the first place. On FOX, no less. Some choice quotes from the show:

• Evan: "She seemed really nice. Not like a golddigger at all."
• A random contestant: "It would be really cool to tell my grandchildren that their grandfather and I met on TV." (comment from the peanut gallery: "And that he lied to me about living in a chateau and having $50 million.")
• Heidi, inspecting Evan's hand while being introduced at the opening ball: "I just want to make sure this is all real." (comment from the peanut gallery: "Oh my god, he's an android! Damn you, FOX! Damn you straight to hell!" Sorry, wrong plot twist.)

I have a feeling this will be another show like Temptation Island, where I complain about having to watch it every week with Veronica but then lap up the ridiculous antics of the moronic participants.
