'Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?' Brings Together Best Aspects Of 'The Bachelor' And The Green Card Lottery [Immigration]
Most of us don't have the financial backing of a network for our reality TV ventures, who can lavish millions upon a production in order to realize a dream that begins with the singular, inspired vision of a 400-lb. women demanding to know of a contestant hooked up to a lie-detector if fat people disgust them. Still, a strong enough project can sell itself on its premise alone, which is clearly what Morusa Media, producers of the "independently distributed" reality show dating sensation Who Wants to Marry a U.S. Citizen?, are counting upon in order to take their (not particularly original) concept to the next level.

From their press release:

Similar to the "Dating Game," one bachelorette (a U.S. citizen seeking a spouse) asks three bachelors (immigrants with temporary visas) various questions. Towards the end of the show, she decides which one she would marry.

According to the show's host, Angelo Gonzales, the show makes it clear to all contestants that it does not guarantee marriage or legal status, but will pay for a wedding party and honeymoon should a marriage result from the show.



To help potential production partners fully envision just how Marry might play out on American TVs, this promotional video was made, featuring dazzling full-motion graphics and shot in what appears to be an unoccupied Motel 6 conference room. We can only hope when--and we imagine it's a matter of when and not if--the show makes it to air, that the contestants don't find their hearts and dreams trampled, Brad Womack-style, by a cold-footed contestant who refuses to hand out the final Green Card to either of the remaining contestants.
