Don't Bother.

[DreamPilot · 2/10 · 4 October 2011]

I was sick on the couch and watched several of this show's episodes in a marathon on Logo.

This has got to be one of the worst "Reality" shows ever produced. A bunch of self-obsessed, moronic fools all pushing some sort of trailer park inspired product line or half-baked self-delusional "Career".

You can't help but feel sorry for some of these people - they obviously have huge self-esteem issues or a bizarre need to see themselves on TV for validation.

It doesn't matter if they're gay, straight, bisexual or whatever - these people are just plain nasty, unlikable and unwatchable.

The "reality" consists of obviously fake setups, a lot of booze, most likely other narcotics and sleazy TV producers thinking that anyone with half a brain would watch this piece of crap.

Embarrassing to watch

I have only seen a couple of episodes of this in pieces but honestly guys this show is an embarrassment to all gay men.

No show have I seen since the 1970s has done so much to perpetuate the stereotypical effeminate homosexual male like this.

Flakey, self centered, overly flamboyant nonsense filled lives brought to the screen for our viewing pleasure?

Viewers want drama or there would be nothing in reality TV to hold their interest. However,the efforts to create drama, the backdrops and behavior of these guys is painfully bad.

This show is doing a great dis-service to the gay community. Can it!

For the a-list industry in crisis

Second rate citizens everywhere, do not worry, you can be reality and you can be TV too! But you can not be a-list at the same time. You seem to perfectly fall into that poem by Frank O'Hara called "The Bores."

Now, if there was an a-list gay, and also one that would perfectly confuse such an idiotic category, Frank O'Hara would fill my bill: friend with the whole generation of Abstract Expressionists and the New York School, curator of the MOMA, constantly involved in the creme de la creme of New York artistic circles, and one of the great poets of the 20th century, let's have some of his wit, so "The Bores":

Detraction is their game./Like parrots, they caw forth/the ennui of the last time/that was theirs, and always/will be, empty. Unaware of what/is, or what is moving forward,/with their sharp wings over/their eyes and tongue on palate/and beak on seat, they take each/singular event for someone's/dear convention. Use an eraser/to take notes for their article./The difficult is foreign and/the simple is vulgar, to them./They entertain each other.
