Viewers knew the entire Joe Millionaire season that Steven McBee was the millionaire and Kurt was the lead with much less money to his name. In the finale, the ladies were finally let in on the secret. However, Kurt explained ahead of the finale, there wasn't much of a reaction from his final pick, Amanda Pace.
He also shared that he didn't tell Carolyn Moore, his runner-up, about who the millionaire was. Instead, that big reveal was reserved for the woman Kurt picked in the end. Ahead of the finale, Kurt had the seemingly impossible job of choosing between Amanda and Carolyn, who were both high on his list for weeks.
Viewers got to see Kurt's final choice in the Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer season finale. Although it might have been hard for Carolyn fans to watch her fall so hard after being Kurt's favorite for a while, that's sometimes how it goes on reality dating shows.
