(CNN)“Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer” ended on a twist.
Kurt Sowers and Steven McBee, who starred in the reality dating show’s reboot, chose their respective partners at Thursday’s season finale, with the women figuring out who is actually worth $10 million and who isn’t.
McBee was with Annie Jorgensen and Calah Jackson for his last dates. He’d spent his day paddling with Jorgensen and his evenings cooking with Jackson. He chose to leave the show with Jackson, revealing to her that he really has a lot of money.
“I was taught that if you work hard and take care of your loved ones, you will become a wealthy man. So that’s how I’m very wealthy. And in terms of actual money…I have a lot of it,” McBee said, adding that money has never played a role in how he feels about her.
The big surprise came when Sowers didn’t choose Carolyn Moore, who viewers thought would go home with him.
“Carolyn, I think the passion we have for each other is unreal. You can’t make it up. But as much as I love having passion in my life, it’s really burned me out in the past that will burn out. And you have so much to think about in your life. Carolyn, as much as this breaks my heart, my heart belongs to someone else. I’m sorry, Carolyn,” Sowers told her.
Moore asked the producers, “Can I go now?” His decision was a “slap in the face”.
Instead, Sowers told contestant Amanda Pace he fell in love with her and gave her a promise ring. He also revealed that he is not the millionaire.
