May I ask a question of everyone who is faithful Joe Millionaire watcher? Why Zora?

I mean, I'll put aside the fact she looks like Christy + Kristen Davis just for a second (translate, Kristen Davis AFTER she ran head first into a frying pan and "hardened"). Why is it everyone is rooting for her?

You wanna know why? Because she doesn't at all seem interested IN Evan. So far, Zora has succeeded in playing the "perfect" mouse to Evan's cat. In guy translation, she MUST be in love with him. And even if she's not, for some reason, men seem to be more interested in the chase than the catch. Once they've got her, they are at a complete loss as to what to do with her. And, once the aloofness wears off, what are they left with? A woman who plays games and manipulates to get what she wants.

Somehow, this seems wrong. Maybe I'm too honest. Somehow, the idea of hiding feelings, manipulating situations to my advantage, and playing the game to win at any cost seems wrong. And just possibly, I'll always end up, as the poor second place woman from the Bachelor, crying about how perfect we were together as I ride home in the limo, while the woman who played the game stands before her "Prince Charming" who's down on one knee vowing his love and to be there forever.

However, after spending time together Helene and Aaron broke up. Doesn't that usually happen once the games are over and the "real" people emerge? Playing games and putting up false fronts are, in my opinion, a bad way to start a relationship. So, tonight, I'll be rooting for Sarah.
