this show would be better with brand-new gay guys every time.


im getting this weird and annoying sense that the gay guys are all getting off on being minor celebrities wherever it is they all live. you can tell they almost seem comfortable in front of the camera now, and so their answers and a lot of their behavior seems faker every episode they show up on. its like the show has turned into their own personal twitter or facebook soapbox. theyre turning into actors, being very careful to only say what they want people to hear. even if its embarrassing its the "right kind" of embarrassing, you know?

Yerxa, Dean, David, Andrew, Philip, and of course Matt are the worst, i dont believe theyre even real people anymore.

I totally see where you are coming from with this. I also thought that for a while. However, there are just a few of the "regulars" that I just love and think should be on television for people to see. Examples: Thomas, Johnathon Nathaniel and Simon. Others I enjoy for pure entertainment (Juan and Jonathan Shuester). Maybe a meet in the halfway and change it up like every week or two. they need a lot of new people...*raises hand*

I would love to be on this show.

What in the "Are you there God? It's me Margret" were you thinking?

yeah, i LOVE both of the Johnathans, i want them to marry each other... and i like Thomas and Juan(when hes sober) too..

yeah, maybe they just need more people and more of a rotation... some kind of rule to keep Yerxa and Dean from appearing in every damn episode(or maybe im just lucking out, in that theyre always in every episode i happen to watch).

Simon gives off the same "i think im totally the sht* vibe that Jake does, so he gets on my nerves a tiny bit.

I suspect the approach of this show, rather than interviewing and discussing gay love/sex issues, is more towards the real-life genre. You get sneak peak at their personal life between the people in the show all the time. You get "insider" questions and inter-personal question that outside people just couldn't answer.

They sneak in drama and relationship between cast from time to time as well. This show is like a very light weight big brother lol. So from what i've seen so far, new cast every time would not work. It will be super awkward to lose the chemistry between the cast. And I'm suspect the producer is purposely aiming for part-fake, part-real, like most real-life show anyway.
