What do you think of it? I think it's cruel not to tell the guy that some of the bachelors are straight. If he knew that some were straight, that would be one thing, but he doesn't know. That's just mean.

I don't watch any of those reality TV shows. I think it's quite possible that they kill brain cells and I don't want to find out if it's true...

But I agree with you that the very premise seems dishonest. I thought the same thing about "Joe Millionaire" and "For Love or Money"...Sad commentaries on the state of our society...

but on the other hand, there are sexy gay boys!

It would seem like one less example of straight people having the upper hand while the joke is on gay guy if he knew from the outset that some of the contestants will be straight. Then he'd be weeding out potential dates based not only on social compatibility, but sexual compatibility as well.

As much as I find the straight twist insulting, it really is the only interesting aspect of the show. Is anyone really interested in what a potential mate would prefer to have wash ashore on a deserted island? Without viewer engagement trying to sort the real gays from the posers, there'd be nothing to see here.

Lest anyone think Bravo's new shows are targeted primarily at attracting a gay audience: http://www.advocate.com/new_news.asp...22&sd=07/29/03
