Prophetically, when I reviewed Joe Millionaire, I noted that it was worth watching, but not every episode. Last night was that episode. In an idiotic attempt to keep advertisers happy with audience numbers, Fox aired an entire episode composed of flashbacks and canned edits. Even the final choice was avoided, despite everyone being aware that the fallout (Joe revealing the secret) would take place the next week. So, to sum up, nothing happened. Grr. This is the shortest series ever, and to devote an entire show to flashbacks seems idiotic. Combined with the incredibly low standards of the Fox network (Joe Millionaire made guest appearances on American Idol, Fox5 News kept plugging the show and having guests on it, and the news show even ran a segment about people watching said show, in one of the Fox5 News staff's houses!), this latest blow should have been expected. As soon as you blur the line between journalism and entertainment, bad things happen.

And, of course, I'll watch next week. And 24 tonight, as well. At least that promises to be more shocking than the "beheading" episode early on. Plus, they can't really flashback in time, due to the nature of the show.
