BEWARE, SPOILERS: Don’t read if you haven’t seen Dates, Decisions, and Dollar Amounts, March 10 finale of Joe Millionaire: Richer or Poorer.
Which woman hit the jackpot? During the final episode of Fox’s ‘Joe Millionaire’ reboot, which aired on Thursday, Kurt Sawers and Stephen McBee had to choose which woman they would like to pursue a relationship with outside of the show.
Coming to the end, millionaire Steven narrowed the list down to Kalah and Annie, while Kurt was torn between Amanda and Caroline. Not only did the women not know which of them the men would choose, they also did not know which of the men was the millionaire.
Then the men had last dates – all this further confused the situation. During the day, Steven spent the day kayaking with Annie and cooking with Kalah in the evening – both went great. Meanwhile, Kurt played tennis with Caroline and cooked dinner with Amanda. After the second date, he said he was more torn than ever.

When it came to making a decision, each woman was dressed in white, and the men changed from their flannel suits to tuxedos. Instead of the format The Bachelor uses, it was not revealed which woman each man spoke to and in what order. Instead, viewers saw the men explain to each woman why he cared about them, and each woman did the same.
In his confession, Kurt said that his head was with Amanda, but his heart was with Caroline. However, when it came time to talk to Caroline, he told her that he was worried that their passion would burn out, telling her, “My heart belongs to someone else.” Caroline, who was certain from the start that Kurt was her man, responded by asking the producers, “Can I go?” She later told the cameras, “This is pretty much a slap in the face. … He made the right decision, because if he was so insecure all the time, then he is not for me. I’m the girl who ran away.”
Steven, who was very upset, decided to end Annie by telling her that his feelings for Kalah were stronger. As he choked back tears, she left and admitted she was shocked by the breakup before she broke down in her car.

Fortunately, happiness was on the horizon. Kurt told Amanda that he had fallen in love with her and gave her a promise ring, which she gladly accepted. Steven was also thrilled to tell Kale that he couldn’t leave without her and gave her the ring as a promise.
Both women were happy, but they still had to find out who a millionaire was. First, Kurt told Amanda, who is rich, he is not a millionaire. The discovery didn’t affect her at all. Steven also discussed Kalah’s money, telling his new girlfriend that he had “a lot of it”.
