You never know what you’ll find when you channel surf! Sometimes there will be absolutely nothing and then suddenly you’ll find something amazing. Last night was one of those occasions.

Now Donna and I tend not to watch the so-called “reality” shows on the major networks. I mean, face it, they are about as far from real as you can get. It’s really a false reality and the producers never play fair with either the audience or the players. Hell, you have a better chance at winning the jackpot in Vegas or Atlantic City than winning whatever the ultimate prize is on any of those programs.

We did get hooked, or rather I did and kind of dragged Donna into it, back in 2001 with Fox’s MURDER IN SMALL TOWN X. I loved the show and was even taking part in the online message board. Of course, being a big mystery fan it was a no brainer, but still fun.

Anyway, as I was searching for something interesting last night, I happened up what looked like the opening of any other show like BACHELOR or BACHELORETTE. About two-dozen male model looking types standing around a pool with one female. I was just about to click away when the announcer came on, along with the show’s title. BOY MEETS BOY! No way….

Yes indeed folks, the first (as far as I know) gay reality series, where one lucky guy gets to choose from fifteen hunky fellows. The one gal is apparently the man guy’s friend (we refuse to use the FH designation around here) who helps him narrow down the field, by acting as confidant as well as talking to the other players. Also, as is typical in this type of thing there is something unknown by anybody except the show’s producers. They have put a couple of ringers in the field. At least two of the contestants are actually straight men, pretending to be gay. The straight guys are in the ‘closet’ for this competition, trying to get the bachelor to fall in love with them. To be honest, I really didn’t care for this part of the game, and I certainly hope we don’t get one of those Jenny Jones situations where somebody freaks and violence breaks out.

If you get a chance check out BOY MEETS BOY on Bravo, which is on Tuesday night at 9:00 here in the East.
