The bride to be Randi, a 23-year-old first grade teacher must make
it all the way through the wedding ceremony and final "I do's
in order to win a million dollars.
The toughest challenge for Randi is to convince her friends and
families that she has fallen in love with this obnoxious slob and
they are getting married very soon. She sacrifices her relationship
with her family in order to have the chance to reward them with
a huge sum of money. She will hurt their feelings, for permanent
stability, happiness, and a chance to reach some of their unattainable
dreams.
Steve, a professional actor in real life, has to disguise himself
as a somewhat loathsome ogre, in such a way to drive Randi crazy.
He drinks milk straight from the carton, chomps food like a primitive
man and gabs with his mouth loaded, squeezes the toothpaste from
the middle of the tube, leaves the toilet seat up, invites Randi
to join him in the hot tub. He will do anything by all means to
push his fake bride-to-be to the brink of tolerance until she gives
up.
One wonders what kind of a reaction the show will get in India.
Here marriage is considered to be a sacred bond and some of the
conservative lot especially those who subscribe to the arranged
marriage tradition may not enjoy seeing a woman and her family's
emotions being manipulated.
The broadcaster will also start airing the second season of The
Apprentice from 7 January at 9 pm. Corporate magnate Donald
Trump hosts the show which sees aspiring and ambitious youngsters
vying for a $250,000 a year corporate job.
The channel will also air the 62nd edition of the Golden Globe
Awards on 17 January at 6:30 pm and 8 pm. This will recognise the
best that film and television had to offer in 2004.
