The cast of Megan wants a Millionaire:
So, the show opens with the British narrator giving Megan’s background of heartbreak and toil (maybe British because having a British butler means you are sophisticated???). Anyway, there’s no way anyone should feel sorry for her because she really hasn’t had it so bad and they "conveniently" omit the part of her past when she was a cyber girl of the week for Playboy, but whatever.
Anyway, one by one the men arrive in individual limos and greet Megan and enter the house. Here is a quick run down of the men:
TJ is worth $6.5 million, make vodka, and wants to let Megan see inside his world. He notes that he is called the "Vodka King." Hmmm, ok.
Shaun is worth $2 million, is an exotic car customizer, and basically just give Megan a weird awkward stare. He is termed the Southern Gentleman.
Mike Bloom is worth $ 2 million and says he is a Private Investor and has made his money doing several "deals." He wants to be known as Big Mike.
Garth is worth $2.5 million and gets out of limo dressed like a clown. Megan asks him if he's a musician or something...to which he replies "uh, yeah" and then comes clear that he's a plumber. He is known as "the Plumber."
Joe Pascola is worth $10 million and states that he basically just sits pretty and watches his bank grow. Their meeting is cut short by his claim that he "has to go to the bathroom" and his nervous laugh. He is known as "The Trust Fund Baby."
Donald is worth $2 million and is known as "the Producer. He kisses Lily on the mouth and Megan says that he even got a little tongue. Yum!
Alex is worth $3.5 million and is known as "The Swinger."
James is worth ~$4 million and is a waiter. Megan calls him cute and asks him how old he is (25). Not the best first impression, followed by a bad second impression, when he is named "The Baby."
Audi is worth 1.1 million and it comes out that has a Cherokee (not an Audi...that would be too obvious). He wants to be known as "Big Dog."
Al is worth $5 million and just give Megan an awkward stare as he basically walks past her into the house. He is called "The Nervous Guy."
Sharay Hays is worth $3.1 million. He informs the camera that he "takes control of his environment" (eg. he leads, people follow) and that "most people" call him "The Punisher."
Sex Toy Dave from The Millionaire Matchmaker is next - enough said (worth $9.5 million).
Matt is worth $5.5 million and states that he is looking for his princess. He is called"The Wrestler."
David is worth $2.2, states that he would love to take Megan shopping in Dallas. He is "The World Traveler."
Corey is worth $ 5 million and hopes that Megan is ready for the next chapter in her life. He is "The Hot Shot."
Francisco is worth $ 2 million, is from Columbia, and speaks Spanish. He is "The Latin Lover."
Ryan is worth $ 2.5 million, from Canada, and whispers into Megan's ear that she is going to love Canadian Bacon. He is known as "The Smooth Operator."
Brandi C. and Cecil arrive next and the episode gets underway.
(Cut to Donald who says he going to be focused like a laser on Megan.)
Next, Megan gave each of the boys a gift to set an example and asks them to tell a little bit about themselves. Synopsis follows:
Megan then states that 3 men will be going home tonight. Cut to Megan getting to know the guys at the mixer, a few at a time. Summaries follow:
Audi: States that they were conversatin', and that he makes girls go crazy with the hump game (thrust action (SEX!))
David and Joe come over and "rescue" Megan, and David and talks about taking her shopping, blah, blah, blah, he's a classy guy, blah...
Punisher, Francisco, and Big Mike bare their chests and Megan is disappointed that Punisher has a birth mark that looks like a map of Cuba...looked more like a cigar stub to me, but then again, I am not as shallow as Megan.
Corey: Wants a girl to show to the world.
Al: Bradi C. and Cicil encouraged him to give her a foot massage. As they are sitting there, Garth tries to share, but Al slaps his hand away (Cut to Garth saying that this guy is a complete moron). He then scares Megan by performing the dog jaw trick, and she spills her wine on her dress, and runs away crying. He tries to apologize, but she continues freaking out. I have to say that I didn't think this was that big of a deal and she just overreacted, which made him feel worse. Garth chimes in by saying that Al is about as sharp as a bowling ball...Megan keeps crying and shuts the door in Al's face. Al finally redeems himself by offering to buy Megan a new dress.
TJ: Megan likes his bald head.
Donald: Leads her to the fire pit, says he could put her in movies, and Megan comes up with the idea of Donald creating a skit for her and James. Donald tries to steer the skit to say that him and Megan should be together, but James ends up saying that he (James) and Megan should kiss to tell who she should be with. Megan and James kiss and you can so tell by her body language that she is hoping he turns into a prince. Doesn't happen and she says that the kiss was "terrible."
Sex Toy Dave: Sells world-wide sex toys.
Brandi C. and Cecil then sit James down and ask him some questions during which he reveals that he still lives at home and gets a monthly allowance.
TJ: Is working too hard and wants to take Megan on vacations.
Ryan: Says he needs a green card to work in US and if they got married, he wouldn't make her sign a prenup.
While Megan considers the guys we watch them interact. Here are some tidbits...
Donald tells Joe about a project that he wants to do with Megan called Cannibal Cave Girl...Garth makes fun of Joe, who is carrying the piggy bank around and getting glitter on his suit, so with a little encouragement, got up and smashed it...Joe whines about how he can't wait to tell Megan about it, and that he hopes Garth feels like a man for smashing the piggy bank.
SIDE NOTE: While I dont' agree with Garth smashing the piggy bank, Joe's whining made it seem almost justified...I mean, how old are you...7?
We cut to the girls in Megans room talking about the boys:
Al seems like a disaster and his lips are too small...Ryan seems like a player...James has to ask his parents for money...She would have to touch Donald if she wanted to put him in movies and they have no love connection...They tell her to think with her heart and brain
Elimination Ceremony:
Donald's interview says that he is confident he's not going home and that he doesn't want to be stuck like an N'Sync concert saying bye bye bye (foreshadowing much???)
The tag lines for this season are "your credit is good with me" or "your credit has been denied"

Next, Megan gave each of the boys a gift to set an example and asks them to tell a little bit about themselves. Synopsis follows:
- Joe: Recives a piggy bank. We then see an interview with him where he says he doesn't flash his money around, which follows with a clip of him holding the bank against his face saying "bling, bling!"
- Dave: States he is the premier financial criminialist in the world, a.k.a. 007 Dave...he gets a globe.
- Punisher: He is currently a real estate investor, but made his money as an exotic dancer...he gets sexy (purple) panties.
- Sex Toy Dave: He gets handcuffs (red, fuzzy handcuffs) and Megan says that he is about the size of a sex toy...how flattering!
- Francisco: Says he will cook for her and gets an apron.
- Shaun: Gets a key.
- Alex: Coat? (I couldn't really tell)
- Mike Body Guard: He is a personal body guard and gets a teddy bear.
- Matt: Megan calls him Nacho Libre (I think to make fun of him) and he tells her that's a great compliment...she then gives him a whip.
- Al: He repeated that he was very nervous and that she was making him uncomfortable with the way she was holding her hand, so he got massage oil.
- TJ: Gets a picture of Megan.
- Audi: Tells Megan to call him Big Dog and he gets a picture of Lily in a scarf. Hmmm.
- James: He got a golden ticket because "hopefully" he will be getting an inheritance from his grandfather.
- Garth: Megan asks him if he can fix all the pipes...which he thinks is a sexual reference, but then he opens his present and it's a tool kit (Cut to Corey telling the camera that Megan already sees him as a tool...real original!).
- Ryan: States he's a Prince Charming and a bad boy...he gets a pimp cup.
- Donald: Comes up and tries to be funny by saying that he is psychic and is going to mesmerize her into falling in love with him and that he has pored into her mind and revealed her inner thoughts. He also says that he would have put her on the Chain Saw Cheerleaders cover. We don't actually see his gift, but it's safe to assume that it is less interesting that his commentary that they did air. We also find out that he produces TV and DVD movies...not quite as impressive as I first thought.
- Corey: States that he will take her on the red carpet...he gets a crown.
Megan then states that 3 men will be going home tonight. Cut to Megan getting to know the guys at the mixer, a few at a time. Summaries follow:
Audi: States that they were conversatin', and that he makes girls go crazy with the hump game (thrust action (SEX!))

Here is the call out order*:
*It got a little fuzzy towards the end because they went so fast and didn't say names, so forgive me if I mixed them up a little...I know I got who was eliminated correct, so no complaining...I can only rewatch this segment so many times.
Ryan (Megan says that he is quite the ladies man and he makes a point of saying excuse me guys to go down and get his credit card)
Corey (like his confidence)
Francisco
Punisher
TJ
Sex Toy Dave
Alex
David
Garth (Megan does not approve of anyone breaking a piggy bank except her)
The Body Guard
Matt
Shaun
Joe
Donald's interview says that he feels like Angel in the season 2 climax of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when he gets it through the heart by Sarah Michelle Geller, "uhh huh huh...this is not good!" Yes, he actually acted it out.
Audi is eliminated because Megan says he was too rough around the edges and they have nothing in common (he said earlier that they clicked pretty good), James is eliminated because she is ready today and she doesn't want to have to wait
Donald is eliminated because she was afraid he was more of a fan instead of a boyfriend (his interview states that it shouldn't be bad that he's watched all her shows) and that she can't fake it for long enough because she does not feel any attraction to him, although she still throws out that maybe they could still do movies...his exit interview says that he just has to be philosophical ala Lady Ga Ga who said, "just dance, it'll be ok, just dance."

All in all, an interesting first episode. It seemed like Donald got a lot of air time in this first episode, so I wasn't all together sure he would be going home. Maybe Megan knew she wouldn't be able to keep him, so they wanted to get all the crazy quotes out of him that they could. I also can't help but wonder that since he is a producer himself, if he wouldn't know what type of stuff they were looking for (Not that I believe this show isn't scripted and the men are playing characters to a large extent...sarcasm) and was hoping that that would carry him on because of that.

The best part of reality shows is discovering what the realitiy really is... hummm... I'm guessing that each contestants network is much lower than stated. I mean shit I would be suprised if most of these guys owned thier homes and that is thier only significant asset. Oh and maybe thier car.
ReplyDeletejames curran is also a stylist - stop by for a cut and color.
ReplyDeleteDonald actually makes movies? See Wikipedia.
And Poor Audi - never even go to advertise his barber show. Must be nice though?
