Who Wants to Marry a (Maybe) Multi-Millionaire (with a record)?
When it comes to reality romance shows, The Bachelor, and its Executive Producer, Mike Fliess, are probably the pinnacle in terms of popularity and recognition. Well, that is very much not the show Melissa tells us about today. The show at the center of today’s story was a one-hit wonder, though most would say it was a total miss. “Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire?” debuted in the year 2000, and the bachelor they selected had an alarming rap sheet that slid by preliminary background checks, an exaggerated IMDB profile, and was maybe very probably, NOT a multi-millionaire. Maybe that’s why he only appeared as a shadowy figure from off-stage? Guys, it’s weird! Did Rick Rockwell find a wife? Could a show like this exist in 2022? Listen to today’s episode and find out!
