Too bad you aren't as quick as TV execs. Your show already exists, in a sense. Street Smarts has contestants trying to guess whether morons on the street will get questions correct - http://streetsmartstv.warnerbros.com.../showinfo.html , but thanks for playing

Because, unlike the Penskes, Paigows, New Jerseys, and their ilk, I grow bored repeating the same stupid twaddle and schtick over and over again. But because you asked,

Christa loses because
She has an annoying voice and posture
like Paigow

There are a fair number of women who are ambitious to marry well. You've met one of them. Hopefully for her, she has the looks and personality to realize her ambition.

Cut bait, and keep fish elsewhere. There are plenty of women looking for guys with a stable job that have a life.

There are a number of us not lucky enough to be blessed in that fashion. distressedpartner's rants about our lack of commitment to the job are not applicable to all of us.

They couldn't possibly find people as stupid as Jay. He's had some all time winners. He's made people famous for their stupidity - sad.

just so you know, "nonplussed" does not mean unfazed, quite the opposite.

you know sometimes when Howard Stern is whining about the whole world copying him, I thing he's nuts- but then sometimes I see things that make me think a lot of people are copying him.

Ambition and relationships

FBA:

I don't know if you ever said, but, what does she do? I dislike wanting-to-marry-up social climbers as much as the next (sane) guy, but some are also smart, successful professional women. You can call these the "perfection seekers" who would never even consider marrying someone who isn't going to bust his ass to make a lot of money, too. Greed is kind of sexy when she's also working her ass off to buy all the shit that she wants.

Is she also doing her own thing pretty well, or is her only hope of a brownstone and a BMW marrying well? That, to me, is the bright line betwwen merely somewhat dislikable and despicable. Also, how quick she is to put out. That makes even the most despicable women a little more likable.
