Playing it straight - Reality TV

Chocolate_luver · 11-03-2006, 22:07

did anyone watch this??

it was about so many gay men n so many straight men trying to win the affections of one girl. if a gay man won he got all the money to himself, if a straight man won the man n the girl split the money.

i have watched both the UK and the USA ones n they were good

anyone know if a new series will be shown soon??

I LOVED this show!! I watched both the UK and US ones as well and thought they were both great!! I havent heard any plans for a new series tho

I'm guessing though they've decided not to do another one (at least for a while) as i think its been over a year since the Uk one ended and usually within a year u at least hear something!

The first Series was filmed June 2004 - July 2004 and aired some time in Spring 2005....So im sure we would have heard if another one was in production

Chocolate_luver · 17-03-2006, 14:22

is there anyway we could get them to make a new series??

would anyone fall for it the second time arround? It was a fantastic concept but I think people would be a bit more suspicious a second time out

welshbabe · 19-03-2006, 15:14

I love this show the men are really really hot

I was thinking about this programme the other day, my housemates and I were hooked when it was on!

I said from the beginning of the UK series that the guy that turned out to be gay (I can't remember his name, but he was a big muscly bloke!) was gay, and the guy that the girl liked wasn't gay, but no one listened to me!!

Okay, this would be so much easier to explain if I could remember peoples names, sorry!

I know it's probably not likely, but I hope they make a new series!

Edit: Just looked on the Channel 4 site (link), the girl's name was Zoe, the muscly guy that turned out be gay was Ben, the one Zoe liked that she thought was gay (but he wasn't, luckily!

) in the end was Danny! If only I'd thought of that before!

Playing it straight USA is currently on Channel 4 each morning at 9.25am

I have been taping it this week as now i am addicted and have to find out which guys are gay or straight.

It is filmed in a ranch in Texas with the guys doing a great impression of Brokeback Mountain in their check shirts and cowboy hats.
I obviously have no Gaydar as i have been totally surprised at which ones are gay.
The finale will probably be next week, if she picks a straight guy they both share the million dollars but if she ultimately picks a gay guy then he gets the whole million.

I wasn't surprised Ben was gay for two reasons. One - he was clearly gay, And two - he was Mr Gay UK.
