The thread about 'gay' reality shows reminded me of Bravo's "Boy Meet Boy." James Getzlaff was seriously looking for a boyfriend, without realizing that the network included three straight guys in the group -- one of the three (Franklin) was very hot. It was not a landmark series, partly because James's best friend, Andra, was really annoying. James made his choices with her input -- a mistake.

 

I met James Getzlaff about a year after the show ended. Nice guy and much more sexy in person. I asked about the show; he just shook his head and laughed.

Andra was so annoying! But James was soooo cute!

 

I cant believe it's been that long.

I also remember the FOX reality show "Playing It Straight".

A bit of the final episode, when James and Andra finally know that some of the guys are straight, including perhaps one or more of the final three.

I remember when the show came on, and really liked it. I think Franklin was one of the ones who was actually really cute and sweet, but didn't have any chemistry whatsoever with the contestant.

Ah memories... at the time I followed this show closely too.

 

I remember Andra having a truly epic meltdown when she learned the group included str8 guys. This is bullshit!!!! MadTV even

.

 

I particularly liked the guy from SF, who basically said he wasn't too interested in James and volunteered to leave the show early on.

If I recall, Andra left over the including straight guys thing, she wasn't in the last couple of episodes.

Andra stayed until the end of the last episode. She did provide a different perspective, and the interactions between James and Andra were important to find out what James was thinking. I mentioned above that I met James. I liked him very much, but he a bit of introvert. His personality is a huge asset in a private conversation, perhaps less so on a TV reality show.

The show was set in a house in Palm Springs, and aired the year before I moved here. When I first arrived, I used to ride around town on my bike, trying to find the place, which I thought was ideal for the show.
