Because the gay dating show is on GRINDR.

They did have a few years ago (I forget the name) but I guess it didn't bring in enough ratings to stick around.

Maybe Logo has one.

It's not going to happen for MANY years. Any attempts at it have failed miserably & exploited the gay stereotype.

The gay stereotype?

For the sake of expediency we've consolidated them.

Yes, now it's just a very fey gym bunny dressed in leather who dances to showtunes while rolling on X.

Which is why I was high on Tina and dancing on a speaker at Der Rosenkavalier.


But then again, who wasn't?

You're of course referring to the remix version of Der Rosenkavalier.

With the mash-up video they played on the big screen at Pride. It was FIERCE! I think. It was hard to tell with all those poppers.

I have this recurring nightmare that I'm the contestant on a gay dating show and none of them are interested in me and they all start hooking up with each other.

I mean, maybe this is like how straight people would get confounded when I was looking for me on the internet by the mid 90s. I just don't get going on a show like this. Maybe I just have really exacting standards, but even if you just threw 30 men at me it could very well turn out that nothing would work out. Well, I mean I'd do the ones who wanted to, but I don't I would find anyone to marry.

What was the name of that show, I think it was on BRAVO, with the house full of men and the guy had to pick one of them?

[Jordan Catalano]

BOY MEETS BOY
And it had that Batshlt crazy best friend there to spy on the guys I remember.

[uncageg]

Oh yeah! And some of the housemates were straight.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 8/31/10 at 1:18am

Yep. And I found that so disgusting.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 8/31/10 at 1:19am

OMG, wasn't her name Audra? She did not handle the twist well. That show was horrific.

[uncageg]

Posted: 8/31/10 at 1:22am

Yes, it was Andra. And I pretty much agree with you Jordan. I remember thinking "Why did they throw in that twist"?

Wait wasn't it Andra? I remember it just being a weird name. And something at a karaoke bar where she she flipped the F out and went insane.

And his name was James, if I remember correctly.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 8/31/10 at 1:36am

You're right. It was Andra. I just remember her telling him what the twist was and her people a total nutjob, shrieking and crying. And he had sociopath eyes.

[Jordan Catalano]

Posted: 8/31/10 at 1:39am

Yes! And this made me think of a standup special miss CoCo Peru did a while ago where she talked about Andra and the show. They air it on logo sometimes and it's HI-LARIOUS.

I feel like I've seen that.

It's on You Tube
Boy meet Boy

It's all about ratings.

But why ANYONE would sit through Dating in the Dark is BEYOND me -- straight or gay.


I remember that show, Boy Meets Boy. I was disheartened by the 'twist'. So not only was the guy suppose to figure out who he might have feelings for, but he had to worry about who might be straight and just messing with him. I DO seem to remember, though, that a few of the straight men did have a better understanding through the process.

Maybe gay people have more common sense then to set yourself up romantically on national tv.

Miss Coco was hysterical on the subject.
