Since as a gay blogger I’m fairly expected to comment on what I’m now calling “Gay Night on Bravo,” I’ll do so.
Boy Meets Boy was not offensive – but frankly, rather dull. Its host, Dani Behr, gets very annoying very quickly (she nearly sounds like a Californian – or Madonna, natch – affecting a British accent). Its ostensible star, James, is cute (not hot), and seems very gay. Like a good homo. Like the boring version of the Fab 5. Last night’s premiere was all introductions and James asking tedious questions (I mean, really – “what one thing would you take to a deserted island?”) of his would-be suitors. I don’t have high hopes for this show. At all.
Fortunately, the antidote immediately followed, in the form of the best episode yet of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. This week, the Fab 5 had to up the sophistication level of an utterly gorgeous cowboy manqué so that he could propose to his girlfriend of two years. He’s gorgeous, sensitive, interesting (has had stints as a plumber, a Navy SEAL, and a stripper!), well-mannered and well-tempered, and simply delectable. I think all of us watching were in lust. [The episode was, of course, a success, and she said yes at the end.] Splendid.
