2 years, 9 months ago about Megan Wants A Millionaire Canceled

Megan Wants A Millionaire Canceled after murder. Right call?

VH1 postponed all future episodes of ''Megan Wants A Millionaire'' today after Ryan Alexander Jenkins, a finalist and rumored winner of the show, was sought by police in the murder of his wife, model Jasmine Fiore.

Regardless of what you think of the show itself, was taking it off the air the right decision?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Oh yeah, it was the right decision - from both a legal and a moral standpoint.

~Morally~
Ryan is very likely the murderer of his wife, a showgirl from Vegas who he very recently met and married in a whirlwind affair. This is the behavior of an extremely disturbed individual, possibly a sociopath or a psychopath. Watching him woo and romance another woman is at the very least tasteless and tacky - at worst it's sickening and disturbing to watch. And he should not get one more ounce of fame or attention, especially in any kind of positive light as a good "catch".

~Legally~
The family of the dead wife I'm sure would have plenty of objections to airing tape of this girl's murderer looking like a sweet romantic guy. Not only could it influence potential future jurors, but it's disrespectful to the dead girl's memory. I'm sure they'd use their muscle to stop the show, even if VH1 didn't make the right call. Plus Megan may have a legal case to, in that VH1 obviously did a piss poor job screening candidates. If I were her, I'd be terrified and angry that they led her to such a dangerous person. In fact, VH! may STILL have to answer for that.

Yes, I do believe - especially in light of VH1's hastiness to remove the show - that Ryan was the winner. And that's the last image that should be put out about this murderer right now (who by the way, just escaped into Canada on foot, despite a massive manhunt).

Due to the show currently airing, they have to cancel the show since the police probably but the production company under a gag order. Oh. BTW Ryan did not win the show since he was married to the victim after he was eliminated.

There is a criminal on the show they gotta cancel it. The show captures this murderer in a wrong light, and it is disrespectful for the family of the women who was murdered.

Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? As far as I know, criminals do not deserve trial in the court of mass media as well.

I went to Vh1.com everything about the show is gone, it just vanished. This is bizarre there is much more to the story.

No. Just kick the contestant off. It seems strange to cancel the whole show over one scandal. No other shows have done it (Survivor and Big Brother have certainly had their share of scandals).

Well, considering this was previously filmed, with production ending in March, I don't think that's an option at this point. I would however, personally, like to have seen him just edited out, with possibly the ending redone... Asking for a lot I know.

Not the same thing. The show finished airing in February or March. The murder happened in March - after the show finished. They can't kick him off. It's over. And he's the rumoured winner or runner-up, so they couldn't even edit him out.

Not to mention that portraying the murderer as a "nice guy" and "great catch" in a romantic and flattering light is highly inappropriate. The filming is done, the winner's been determined - and whether or not it's Ryan, the whole thing needed to go away fast.

The Murderer is the winner of the show. This show was taped months ago, it is not like Big Brother.
