Fox Pulls the Plug On 'When Joe Millionaire Attacks'
- by David Badner
West Los Angeles, CA - After two months of sinking ratings, Fox studios decided to pull the plug on their latest reality flop, "When Joe Millionaire Attacks".
The show, which revolved around the disgruntled half-millionaire Evan Marriott, had shown a steady slide in ratings since its record-breaking premiere.
"Viewers were drawn to Mariott's quick temper and violent nature," said Chris Cowen, creator and Executive Producer of both "Joe Millionaire and "When Joe Millionaire Attacks".

"However, after the second episode, audience members grew tired of the constant beatings and outbursts. The show could not thrive on the violence of one celebrity."
Producers tried to revive the show by bringing back Paul Hogan, the beloved butler from the original show. However, Hogan's appearance was became embarassing after he began to cry like a little girl.

"While this show did not connect with the audiences, we have several new projects that we hope will continue Fox's dominance in reality TV", said Cowen.
"Keep your eyes open for the upcoming shows 'When Ruben Attacks Clay', and the less anticipated 'When Fox Executives Get Fired'."
