Premise
In the show, 50 women (one from each U.S. state) competed in a contest similar to a beauty pageant to be the bride of an unknown multi-millionaire who was revealed to be Rick Rockwell, whom they did not see except in silhouette. He selected Darva Conger of California and married her on the spot. In addition, Conger also received a three-carat (600-mg) diamond ring and more than $100,000 in prizes. More than 22 million people viewed the show that evening.

Famous quotes containing the word premise:
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
