Joe Millionaire is returning with a rebooted version after a 19 year absence on FOX. Earlier, the reality show was about a group of beautiful women dating a handsome millionaire. This time, there will be two Joes added to the mix that will spice up the format.
One Joe will be rich, while the other will not. The ladies will not be aware of the financial status of the two men and will have to navigate the show without this information.
Titled Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer, the official synopsis reads:
“Followed by two single men, one is an actual millionaire, the second one is a dirt broke. They will date twenty women, these women have no idea who's the real ‘Joe Millionaire’ and who's just the average Joe.”
Meet the cast of ‘Joe Millionaire’
1) Kurt F. Sowers
One of the male suitors in Joe Millionaire is Kurt F. Sowers, who is 32-years-old and hails from Charlotte, North Carolina. He is the CEO of a construction company, hinting at a whopping bank balance. Is he the millionaire? Only time will tell.
According to his Instagram bio, he prefers to be addressed as Sir/Lord/Liege or even King of the Dudes. In one of the promo clips, Sowers was asked to explain why he’s doing the show in three words. His answer was laughter, love and friendship.
2) Steven McBee
Steven McBee’s Instagram profile describes him as a small-town boy who is an entrepreneur. When he was asked the three words, he said:
“To find love.”
In one of the inside scoop videos for Joe Millionaire, the 27-year-old Missouri native revealed two truths about him. One is that he has a raccoon and the other is that he took dance lessons for over a year.
