Will Evan and Zora Live Happily Ever After?

The blog has been stunningly silent on the subject of Joe Millionaire. Was no one except me among the 3.5 million Canadians who tuned in to the last hour to find out who Evan would choose and who would wind up being humiliated? Anyway I don't think it was any surprise that he picked Zora over Sara. And remember Melissa, she who was falling out of her dress over dinner, who didn't know what a garlic bulb looked like and who also thought that if she could get her claws (oops hands) on some of Joe's money she would spend it on third world children by providing them with nice clothes and giving them their shots. As for Sara, she was whatever she was, a purveyor of adult entertainment. Besides she and Joe had had it off, off camera or so we were led to believe. So it stands to reason that Joe would pick the "purer" girl next door, who of course would play along. And of course now they have a decent wad of cash which of course will ensure their complete and blissful happiness. (Yeah, right...)

Anyway, not to be overly cynical (but I already am), this leads me to the next question, does anybody really think (or does anybody care?) whether Zora and Evan have made a go of it? Any bets how it is turning out? We get to find out next Monday on Joe the Millionaire the Aftermath.

Seriously though, I am trying to imagine what it would be like for them. There would be the initial intoxication of the win--the money and the partner. But when it comes down to brass tacks, based on what the audience has already seen, do you think they have more than a snowball's chance in hell? Personally I would like to see it work out, just because it such a long shot and I'm a sucker for happy endings. Theirs had the appearance of a happy beginning...
