Awww...Joe Millionaire!

I really don't relate....

Here in California, we really don't have "die-hard" hockey fans!
Which stinks when your trying to buy a hat at the local sports shop...

I've never had the pleasure of going to a hockey game in Detroit....
I've been to San Jose (sharks), Colorado (avalanche), and Los Angeles (kings)

We here in California think Kings fans are rude.... (Kinda like Raider fans!!!)

Yeah, we only have a handful of die-hard fans, so trying to find Hurricanes shwag anywhere but the official stores is tough. I'm a fan, but not enough to go out of town just to see a game!

Sure, you two just hijack a thread and make it into a hockey thread....I see how you are. And I almost missed the whole thing!!

I'm a big Avalanche fan, so Red Wings Suck (It's a slogan and a state of mind out here)! Red Wings fans are just plain nasty, and Kings fans aren't much better although I do like the Kings as a team. I HATE it that the Kings fans STILL boo every time Rob Blake touches the puck at their games. Come on, it's been like 3 years since the trade and you guys got some good players too - Deadmarsh and Miller. It's not like Blake ASKED to be traded.

I'm lucky as far as sports swag is concerned. Denver and all of Colorado are BIG into sports, all of the sports. I can find stuff from almost any team in the nation, at least from the big sports - NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR.

Joe Millionaire: I am glad he picked Zora. She seems like such a nice person, and deserving of some happiness. I am also happy they gave them each money. I bet a lot of those other girls are really upset now! Melissa did say that she liked him and thought they had a connection, until she found out he didn't really have money.

Hockey: Yes, people in Detroit are just rude. I lived in the Metro-Detroit area for 2 1/2 years. One of the reasons I left was because a lot of the people are mean and inconsiderate. I hate the Red Wings as a result, and I don't really like hockey either. Living near "Hockeytown" kind of spoiled it for me.

Huge hockey fan here! Unfortunately the Sharks haven't been giving us good games to watch, I don't know what their problem is! My boyfriend plays hockey and we're both from the east coast where hockey is actually considered a sport. So it's been a change to be out here, but we're getting used to it. He's a Capitals fan, and I'm a Bruins fan, if we go by where our loyalties are!

LOL

Wait a minute! Hold the hockey a second. I found out something surprising last night! Sarah, the sexy, sophisticated debutante is from Hunker, PA. So, what's the big deal? Well, Hunker is about 13 miles from here. It is one of the many little coal mining communities around Pittsburgh, complete with slag dumps. (Most of the mines are closed now.) I'm not sure if it has more than one red light. That's no disgrace, of course. My brother-in-law was a coal miner, and lived in a company house until he married my sister and built a new home. He was very intelligent, well informed, and a good provider, but never claimed sophistication.

My question-- Is a girl from an old mining town superior to a construction worker? I assume her parents sent her to a good college, but the likelihood is that they were hard working, respectable people, not wealthy sophisticates. How awful that Evan was not what he appeared to be...

So she comes from a coal mining town and yet he's a "loser" because he isn't (well, wasn't) rich? I think I know who the big FAKE loser really is here!

Yes, he's unsophisticated and dumb, but he didn't talk smack about the girls he booted, and got up in the middle of the night because the lie was bothering him (If you believe what you see on tv, anyway).

I like Paul!! I think I'd marry him instead!

Sarah's working class roots may not be scandalous, but her past exploits making bondage videos may be a bit of a contrast with her facade. Sexy, some people may think so; sophisticated, I doubt. And unless debutantes are much more worldly than in my day (not that I ever was one) this means that she has as much to hide as "Joe".

Back to hockey... Big Kat said something about her and BF's loyalties...of the 3 games I actually got to go to, one time we were in the arena store, and saw a family. Mommy was a Hurricanes fan, but Pop was sporting a Bruins jersey. Anyone care to guess what jr. was wearing? GO CANES!! (And Mom!)

Sarah is one of those who thinks she's a lot better than she is. Her job that they kept flashing was "Assistant to Mortgage Broker". She's a Secretary for crying out loud! Obviously, there's nothing wrong with being a secretary, but come on. Reality check honey! You can't make so much money as a secretary that Evan is beneath you. She seems like one of those who will try to sleep with the boss of a big company just to make sure she is financially set.

Did anyone else notice how they treated Paul? Zora was warm and asked "how are you?" like she actually cared, and Sarah treated him like the help. Something tells me she's going to lose a lot of friends after they see how she acted on national tv.

Well, I agree that she is not evil, but it was not exactly a private sexual act. It was being filmed for national tv broadcast. And neither are the bondage / fetish videos private. I think that she has an odd sense of what is appropriate.

i have to go with sammie here, by going into the woods with evan, they were leaving themselves open to speculation and so.....

NO, NO, that's NOT why I said she was evil!!! It was the whole "Evan bashing session" after she was all over him like white on rice the whole series! She goes from "He's mine!" to "What a loser" in a matter of hours just because he's not rich? I have a particular disgust for golddiggers, and if she isn't one, who is?

exactly, as soon as she finds out he has no money, hes a loser. and then jeanie points out she comes from a coal mining town - what happened to make her superior to evan? i think contruction work is actually a noble profession - if it isnt for those people, we would have no shelter.

To clarify... if you wanna be an exhibitionist and have "intimate relations" on tv, whatever that may be, I have a remote and can change the channel. However, if you reveal yourself to be stupid or greedy... I watch in the hope you go down in flames. And that, I think, sums up how I feel about Sarah.

The whole thing for me about whatever did or didn't happen in the woods and under the blanket....it was so blatently obvious that she was using sex to manipulate him. I'm sure it's worked for her before with other men. I couldn't believe she actually asked him "Did you think that really mattered to me?" when he told her he didn't have the money. I wanted so bad for Evan to say "Duh! Of course it mattered to you - you made that perfectly clear!" LOL

Lola, you do bring up a good point with how they treated Paul. I've heard it said that you can tell a lot about a person on a first date by how they treat the waiter or waitress, and it was certainly true with these women and how they treated the butler.
