Neither Kurt Sowers or Steven McBee decided to go after a spot on "Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer." Both men had successful careers in their own fields, and dropping everything to go on a reality TV show wasn't in their plans.
However, opportunity came knocking when each received an Instagram DM from a casting agency. When Steven first saw the message request, he said he "thought it was a joke." Kurt said he was hesitant to respond at all and "had to bounce it off some of my friends actually and see if I should even consider it," he said.
Though it wasn't anything they expected or imagined, both decided to give the show a shot and went in with an open mind.
"This is not something I ever dreamed of, but at that point, I was 26 years old, still single to that point in my life," Steven said. "I figured, 'Why not try something unconventional and go on a dating show?'"
Kurt added: "Yeah, I never thought I'd be on a dating show. I used to make fun of dating shows all the time. I was always picking on any of my exes or something that would watch that TV. I used to call it trash TV and hate on it, and then here I am."
