Average Joe (NBC TV show)

[Nick C.]

Has anyone seen this show? I think it's hilarious.  I saw parts of season 1, most of season 2, and first of the Adam's Revenge.  I thought the very first episode was just a classic.  The girl thinks she is about to meet a bunch of gorgeous hunks, but then the bus comes up and out comes group of Average Joes and the girl has a fit and runs into her room and start crying.  It started to go down hill after early episodes and become like the other bachelor shows.

The  2nd one was ok.  I thought it was pretty funny when the girl (Larissa) said to the guy she chose to marry that she had dated Fabio and the guy breaks off the relationship with her. *That one kinda confused me, but it was how angry he got when she said it*

The 3rd has the first season loser returning with him doing the picking this time.  This season is supposed to feature average janes, I 've heard other people say that they range from below average to a little above average. But, I think all of the girls are hot even (Jennifer L.).  

Personally, I think all of these people are silly anyway for putting their personal lives out on national television, and possibly getting embrassed.  But sometimes, I just have fun watching these people act like fools.  
Has any

Doesn't the fact that the Adam guy got his own show sorta suggest the whole thing is put-on?  I mean, don't all these 'bachelor' type shows follow that same formula?

Person narrows down a huge list to two people.
Person is torn between both people.  Much dramatic tension (forced).
Person chooses one of the two after much soul searching.
Rejectee comes back next season with own show, doing the choosing.
Repeat

Other than the amount of money they pay the actors and writers, it is probably no more real than The Cosby Show, The Brady Bunch or Xena, Warrior Princess.

.  .  .  .  I think it's funny how big a double standard the ugly guys (TV ugly, not actual ugly,...) have.  They didn't like the jocks because they represent a woman's stupid and "superficial" desire (other than the whole, torment the nerd High School stuff), which is bad; however the nerds are "deeper" but still chase their "superficial" desire.  So, I guess the 80's nerd films have now moved to TV, in the form of "reality" TV?  I mean it is oversimplistic to view it in this way, but it is fairly accurate.  Though it is cool to see nerds attack jocks.  Where's Booger?
.  .  .  .  "Xena:..." isn't real?

Wait, are you implying that Xena is not real?

Personally I never watch these shows, they just seem dumb and forced to me.
