New year, new millionaire. Steven McBee is one of two men searching for love on the new reality show Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer.The series is a reboot of the original Joe Millionaire, which premiered in January 2003 and followed a group of women as they competed for the love of a man they believed was wealthy.

In the new version, there are two eligible bachelors looking for romance — but only one of them is rich.Steven, 27, will appear alongside fellow “millionaire” Kurt Sowers on For Richer or Poorer, premiering on Thursday, January 6.

Though fans of the original series are excited to see how the new one compares, the new bachelors weren’t that familiar with their show’s source material.“We had no idea what the original show was,” Steven exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the show’s premiere. “Whenever we got down there on set and they dropped the whole, ‘This is the reincarnation of Joe Millionaire.’ I was like, ‘Great, who’s Joe?

What is Joe Millionaire?’ I had no idea.”The original Joe Millionaire was a ratings hit, but it also drew backlash because the contestants were told a lie about lead Evan Marriott‘s nonexistent fortune.
