Joe Knight...

[gomjabar]

After watching a television show featuring an appearance by "Joe Millionaire" Evan Mariott, i couldn't help but think... "Oh my gosh, he would make a perfect Michael Knight!"
What do you all think?

Welcome to the board!

And wow! I had the same thought when I first saw him.

I just wondered ... I had to Google this 'Joe Millionaire' guy, because the show obviously doesn't air in the UK, and yes, he looks like Michael. Or rather, he looks like a potential David clone. Is that what people look for in their 'new movie' suggestions? Do 'Michael'-candidates have to have a young Hasselhoff element to them, and must cybernetic technician applicants be brunettes?

I'm guilty of exactly the same screening process, I just wondered if that was what was going on with others. This Marriott guy is on a reality-TV show right? So it can't be his stunning acting skills that made gomjabar and KI jump to the same conclusion ..

Just as long as they're not red-headed bimbos!

Yea, Joe Millionare with a bit more brains would be nice. And he tends to always have a stupid goofy look on him, like he's gotten hit in the head one too many times by the shovel on the construction site.

But yea, I think that most people are looking to find people who have the same appearance as well as give them the same feel as the characters do. If they can't have the exact of what they want, they still would like something familiar.

Exactly. We want the clone.

And well Evan Marriott (Joe Millionaire) didn't do too badly in the acting department. He got 50 golddigging bimbettes to believe that he was rich, when he was just eye candy.

Pretty much in the same vein as 'the man of six words'

LOL.. I am SOOOOOO glad they didn't name it that! That just doesn't have the same ring.. ya know?

[knightynight]

Ya'll best not be thinkin' 'bout that Joe Millionare monkey being in no Knight Rider I be watchin'! I be layin' the smack down on all y'all! Reality TV has ruined TV! Espcially because it's SO FAKE!

[knightimmortal]

Get over it.

[KITTvsKARR]

And so is wrestling.. but as long as they get the raitings.. they will keep it up.

GUYS! NOOOOOOOO! JOE MILLIONAIR DRIVES A FORK LIFT! Have we not learened ANY THING from Knight Rider?!?!

FORK LIFTS ARE EVIL!!!

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*gasp*OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Any way, thems be my thoughts on it.

[knightimmortal]

Joe Millionaire also models very tight underwear, what can we take from that?

But isn't he just handsome! Oh man, I'm envious of Sora. He got 250 grand(after taxes) after the show too!

Sorry but wrestling isn't fake its prearranged. The wrestlers do perform many many dangerous moves not everthing is real contact but not everthing isn't either.

Prearranged outcomes much more so than fake.

[KITTvsKARR]

Well.. yeah ok.. its just that when I see a guy supposedly knocked out in the ring on a tag team match, and they show the top view camera showing the guy open his eyes, look around, then close them again... I tend to think otherwise... much as the whole hit the guy then walk around the ring so the other guy can come behind him and hit him back.. but anyway, that has nothing to do with KR, so I'm dropping it.
