let's review

what have we learned from the "reality program" Average Joe:
- A person's level of inner beauty may not necessarily be reflected by his level of surface beauty.
- Inner beauty isn't nearly as relevant to former beauty queens as...say....surface beauty.
- Profound inner beauty and a million dollars will reap you a cover article in Fortune Magazine....and that's all.
- You can be a twenty-something slacker without a college degree who still lives at home and waits tables, and as long as you've got "the total package" when it comes to looks, that's all that matters.
- With TiVO or even a good VCR, you can actually pause a video at the exact moment when the lead female reaches into a man's chest through his shocked mouth and rips out his heart with the words, "The Romance Must End."
- The National Broadcasting Channel is a souless demoniacal conglomerate that will go to extraordinary lengths to perpetuate all the worst stereotypes of both the attractive and not-so-attractive for the sake of ratings and advertising dollars.
- And America will watch.
I'm sure there were more lessons to be learned, but I don't know what they are.
So that's while I'll join my bride in watching season two,
starting soon.
