I must admit that I was very excited to see the Secret Millionaire tonight on Fox. Turns out I wasn’t disappointed at all. The second episode with Todd and Gwen Graves wasn’t as good as the first, but they were both great.

The first episode featured the following millionaire:

Gregory and Cole Ruzicka, a father-and-son team from Newport Beach, CA and Maui, HI, respectively
Greg Ruzicka is the founding and managing partner of Ruzicka & Wallace, LLP, a law firm in Irvine, CA. He is also a principal broker of RS&W Realty, Inc; and an owner of Island Spirit Yoga Studio and Sportswear in Lahaina, HI. Since 1995, Ruzicka has acted as General Counsel to Real Estate Owned Managers of California (REOMAC), the national trade organization of the non-performing asset industry. Additionally, Greg has donated significant time to the surrounding courts as a Judge Pro Tempore. His son Cole is a college student, aspiring model and musician.

Gregory and Cole were awesome. They seemed sincere and honest in their experience. They really seem like they were moved by the experience and their hearts were changed. Todd and Gwen on the other hand seemed like they were still the angels coming to people’s rescue. Sure, they gave a ton of money. They gave to some incredible people. However, it still seems like they’re living in their rich world and they didn’t seem very sincere in trying to understand the importance of helping these people. It seems like understanding the people should be the most important part of living in poverty and Todd and Gwen seemed to miss the boat while Gregory and Cole seemed to soak it up.

I’m really looking forward to the next shows.
