No doubt I'm the only person on this blog who followed Joe Millionaire from start to finish, but I'm telling you: if you didn't watch this show, you missed out (regardless of what Dave Barry says). Watching last night's finale, I was aware that I was being shamelessly manipulated, and in retrospect had been manipulated since the very first episode...and I occasionally reflected that what I was watching could be seen as a pabulum to distract the masses from their own empty lives and the dismal prospect of a senseless war...but, I mean, awwww. Maybe they did it with mirrors or camera tricks, but that little shhhhh that Zora gave the babbling Evan at the very end was one of the sweetest moments I've ever seen on television. I know I'm smitten with her.
