Who owns the castle in France? How much would it cost to stay there?
Fox rented the 16th century castle in France's Loire Valley from Prince Philippe Maurice de Broglie for the month of Nov. 2002. Usually run as a bed and breakfast, the castle has rooms available for a reasonable $120 a night (''It's not Paris,'' says a Fox spokesperson), and Fox rented all 17 rooms as well as the surrounding 100-acre park for filming.
What does Evan put in his hair to make it look so goopy?
Dax Wax, a styling pomade which can be picked up at your local drug store for a whopping $2.79. Perfectly priced for a construction worker making $19,000 a year.
This was the first time we've seen women smoking on a dating show. How many of the women smoked?
Melissa M. and Sarah are the only two who lit up, and that may have had something to do with the setting. ''In France, everybody smokes,'' explains the Fox spokesperson, who adds that Evan was well aware that the pair were smokers. As for the smoking policy on competing dating shows ''The Bachelor'' and ''The Bachelorette,'' ABC declined to comment.
Where have we seen hostess Alex McLeod before? And what exactly is her purpose other than to wear high heels and too much make-up?
If you're missing Alex McLeod, who hosted one season of the hit TLC design show ''Trading Spaces,'' blame the butler. Hogan, 52, may not be an actor, but his witty insights about the girls and his poise in front of the camera made him an ideal spokesman. ''I think that, unfortunately, meant a little less screen time for Alex,'' says the Fox spokesperson. Maybe she should have spent her time redesigning the castle.
