Saying that love triumphs all else seems like a rather lofty idea. In this day and age where money and power are highly coveted, love doesn't quite stand a chance. Or does it? 'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer' puts that theory to the test, as 18 women compete for the affection of two men -- Steven McBee, a multimillionaire bachelor and Kurt Sowers, a non-millionaire bachelor. However, these ladies have no idea who is who, which is sure to put their potential romance through the wringer.

If you're looking for other romance-based reality TV shows to check out, you might want to consider -- 'The Bachelor', 'Married At First Sight' and 'Love Never Lies'.
