http://www.vh1.com/shows/dyn/strip_search/series_about.jhtml Fifteen ordinary men from all across America will leave behind the nine-to-five grind to compete for one of seven six-figure, one-year contracts as a member of a traveling male strip revue troupe. Instead of pushing paper eight hours a day, these ordinary guys will get paid to entertain thousands of smitten female fans. It's every man's fantasy, but for seven men it will become a reality when they hit the Vegas stage in the series finale. The journey begins with Billy Cross, the creator of the internationally celebrated male revue, Thunder from Down Under, and VH1's Rachel Perry traveling cross-country in search of wholesome, attractive guys who have the confidence to strut their stuff. Strip Search documents every step of Billy and Rachel's journey as they meet real guys, from wheat farmers to Wall Streeter's, construction workers to computer techs, military men to mortgage brokers. From their cross-country search, Billy and Rachel pick fifteen regular American guys to train for the biggest opportunity of their lives. The fifteen men must undergo intense dance training, team building exercises, and survive a "body shop" with top choreographers, trainers and nutritionists while living in close quarters. Each week, the men are evaluated by Billy, and one must be eliminated. Finally, with eight men still in the running, the team heads to Las Vegas to prepare for their big premiere. The moment of truth has arrived-their terrifying first performance in front of a live audience of hundreds of screaming women is only days away. The intense rehearsals continue on the Vegas stage where they will make their debut. Every man will put on the performance of his life, because while eight men arrive in Las Vegas, only seven will make the grade and perform with the troupe when Billy makes his final cut right before show time. One by one, Billy will eliminate the players throughout the series, until he has his final seven dancers - the hottest real men in America. They will be judged on their physical fitness, dance skills, work ethic and their ability to work as part of a team. Fifteen guys begin, but only seven will live the dream.

It wasn't too bad. It moved slow and the hosts were somewhat fakey but likeable. I felt a bit sorry for some of the guys that weren't picked. But the guys they picked so far are hotties and likeable. The show might have potential. I'll watch again.

I watch it. And was really pissed that Steve was the first to go. Maybe he's not stripper material like the others, but he certainly was the liveliest one. Any Tony's a big problem. But it was funny when they were having the argument and it sounded like something from Beat Street or West Side Story. A real battle - of dancing. "I DON'T WANT TO ARGUE - I WANT TO DANCE"!!! Funny!!!

Miz, it's on VH1. Ummmm....not that I've seen it or anything. You know how you flip through channels and something catches your eye? Hee hee. I thought I should watch it, just in case any of my fellow TVCHers needed any info on it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

The first thought that came to my mind when I saw the name of this show was "You have GOT to be kidding me." Honestly, if there were a show to pick a female stripper, can you imagine the controversy? I don't even have anything against stripping, I mean hey, it's good money if you want it, but there's got to be a line somewhere. What's next, "I Wanna Be A Porn Star?"

Saw this for the first time and I don't really know who most of the guys are except, of course, Tony, who was so vocal and obnoxious! LOL Westside Story......too funny!

I caught this today and I am wondering what is up with Johnny? Besides being just to polished looking, he just doesn't seem to get it. I think David is just adorable.

I'm STILL watching! LOL So glad to see Johnny gone and I agree David is adorable! I liked Ryan when he was dealing with Johnny, but now that he's being so mean about Bryce along with some of the others. Sean really won points with me when he said he wouldn't talk about Bryce with the others and told the guys they'd have another target after Bryce. I do think he was among the guys playing pranks on him though. I think it's interesting to see just how catty guys can be when it's women who are always labeled that.

I like Ryan. There's a dark haired guy that I really like but I can never remember his name. He usually wears the blue bandana. Oh he is sooo fine. And I'm sooo glad Johnny is gone. He was given too many chances though. Soon as he said he wanted to leave I would've said, got your hat? Get your coat and roll up outa here.

I think Johnny was trying the whole time to distract people from the fact that he just wasn't getting it. The steps, the bonding, the whole thing. He left before they could dump him, but I did love the part when he kept asking if it was really all over. really? no, really? really over?

ROFL.. that was funny. It was like when he would argue with the guys about their dancing and it's like he has concrete between his ears! "Uh Yeah buddy....get your big butt out of here NOW!!" LOL It was so ridiculous to hear him say how the other guys were jealous of him since he was so much better and getting better camera time than they were.. uh huh Johnny.... keep deluding yourself. He was always going the wrong way and then claimed they changed it and didn't tell him just to mess it up. What a drama queen!!

Still not much posting about this show. It's a shame that Blake was eliminated, but he should have taken the picture challenge seriously. Before they did it, Billy said there was going to be a photo shoot - and an elimination based on it. How they could forget, I don't know. But, it wasn't right for the guys to blame Bryce for not getting the boot instead. They better worry about themselves. And while Sean seemed to have character when he said it's not good to talk about someone, he was a total hypocrite when he started doing stuff to Bruce while he was sleeping. It should be interesting tonight.

Great show and I am glad Bryce didn't get the boot. I really like him and am starting to hate some of the guys for being so cruel to him. I can't remember his name but the guy who dressed up like Brittany Spears for that competition that was all confrontational last night - he is on my last nerve. Where does he get off judging people??? He can't admit his been a bully so he has to try and make Bryce look bad - I wish he'd have gotten the boot last night, but I understand the Kid thing - I couldn't be away from mine for that long.

The one that tried to "school" Bryce was Terry. I don't like him much either. He has a very condescending attitude when he gets into it with people (I saw the beginning of it when he went at it with Johnny). He started picking apart every little thing that Bryce was saying (14 days? - has it been 14 days?). Bryce should have said that it was probably ever since Blake was sent home. And and far as Terry saying that all of the guys are trying to "help" him, I haven't seen that?!? Just because someone might work their ass off, and this guy doesn't, and you powder his face every morning, how is that helping someone? Helping someone is taking them aside, and saying something like "if you want this, come on, work out with me". Criticizing someone is not helping them. But I still can't see how Bryce can make the cut with such little time left. I think that there is a difference in his body now, but not enough.

I almost thought the Australian guys were going to get Terry booted for his attitude. I would have loved that! I really can't stand the attitudes of some of these guys. I was surprised to see Chris get the boot, but under the circumstances of them having to tour so much and him missing his kids, I guess I can understand it. I wonder if David might go for the same reason? I'm really starting to like Bryce a lot. Granted he doesn't have the chisled look of the rest of the guys at all, but I also think his body is getting better. Maybe he'll end up the emcee even though that other guy wants it?

I was sad to see Bryce go I didn't think he had a horrible body and I think he totally had sex appeal but I guess he just wasn't right. I felt bad for the Rick not getting emcee, I know he was totally bummed but I think Josh was awesome at it and have favored him to make it through from the beginning. I just hope Rick makes it to final as well. The guy who was all about sex is driving me nuts - he is not attractive to me at all - but maybe it's his personality that ruins it for him
