Thanks Rslover..I put that alert only because we have been asked never to put spoiler info in the first line of a post due to the search for new message feature. The first line of every post appears there and, therefore, people who do NOT want spoilers can't avoid them if they show up on that page:-)

Watching2,
I hear ya. I've been to gay bars too, but women going with friends doesn't mean anything. I just thought an "alleged" gay guy working in a gay bar with a guy's arm around him would make me circumspect. I see you are from Rochester. I want to ask you if you know some people from there. A good friend and her HS boyfriend are from there. Did you go to school there? Are you in the Penfield area by chance?

O.K. maybe, it is possible, but seems so stupid to me. But, that Elimidate is at the bottom of the heap of dating shows, IMHO. They'll probably play the show he was on one of these days. Not, that it helps me, since I don't really watch it. Maybe someone will see it and can report back their opinions.

Thanks for the links, Watching2....I finally figured out that you were finding them on the "Boards" section of the fox.com site. Duh...

When this show first started, I commented to a friend that the guys were all so hot and that since they are on this show they must be "out" in their individual lives already, so I figured that they would be well known and very identifiable in their respective communities. I wondered if there would be spoilers online somewhere, but then I figured "Nah....that didn't happen with Boy Meets Boy" so I didn't pursue the thought.

But now that I see the spoilers and reconsider my initial thoughts, I must admit that I KNOW for every hot gay bartender in a gay bar here in SF there are thousands of gay men that ogle them and who would recognize them on the spot, especially in a show like this! I find myself surprised that I am surprised at all to see spoilers online already! Once again - Duh....:-)

Sanfran,
What's your take on Ryan?

My take is that he's kind of a jerk.

I have no idea whether he's a str8 jerk or a gay jerk, but the jerk part is fairly obvious.....and any man OR woman should probably avoid him. :-)

I just want to add that watching this very edited show will not help much in figuring out their degrees of str8ness. You know they will edit out stuff that would really paint the gay guys as being positively gay just as they will play up the stereotypically gay stuff (like baking a cheescake or using hair products) that would make a str8 guy appear gay (to anyone that is going by stereotypes, at least!)

Maybe the guy with the blow dryer is gay after all....but I DO know str8 guys that own blow dryers! I have even met str8 hairdressers! LOL

Funny how they claim it is "unscripted."
Here's an interview with the host.

Anyone remember Luciano from Hot or Not?

Rslover - Yes, I grew up in the Rochester area, but in a different suburb than Penfield, although I do know the place. I grew up in a suburb northwest of there. It's really a huge place and even if I grew up in Penfield, there's a good chance I still might not know them. Now I live in a suburb even further west than the one I grew up in. I actually live in GREECE now. Yeah, a town, not the country. LOL Nice to know you know some locals, tho. :-)

Rslover - I remembered the name but never made the connection until I read your post...after a little online searching I found this:
luciano_areyouhot.jpg

I found it here:

Apparently he was the one that turned around and lowered his swimsuit to show his butt off to the judges! LOL

W2, Then I won't mention my friend and her H.S. boyfriend who "came out" later. Same age, that's why I asked.

Is he still around here? I do know quite a few gay guys from my friends. Ya never know - I've had a lot of "small world" stories more than a few times in my life! If you want to email me the name, etc., feel free! :-)

I see what you mean....he does look more mature and heavier (and tanner) in the pic behind the bar.

"Are You Hot?" aired in Feb of 2003, a whole year ago. I've seen guys in training add a lot of muscle and bulk in that amount of time. I had a good friend that was a body builder and when it came time for the competitions they went on these really strict diets in order to rid their bodies of as much fat as possible to show off the muscle definition better. It was amazing how their appearances would change those last few weeks before the competition.

I noticed on the "Are You Hot?" bio, Luciano is listed as a student, but he is listed as a personal trainer in his bio on the fox site.

Ok, I can say I thought Bill and Bradley were straight so I was duped on that but not Luciano.

The website has Bills name as Bouvier and theres a picture of someone on the same page named Troy Smith Bouvier. Could they be brothers or married to eachother? Bill has a wedding ring on in the one picture.

ALso, keep in mind that alot of strippers for gay clubs are straight and vice versa. One of my best friends stripped for years and he said most of the guys were gay, but at the gay clubs, most of the guys were straight- their GFs would be waiting for them to finish their set then they'd leave.

I love Eddie and I don't want to think he's gay but he told her she looked like Sarah Jessica Parker. I have to assume he watches SATC and thats not something I'd expect from a straight guy. Say it ain't so!

Maybe there are only three and you guys found them so she has a good chance at finding love. And maybe clouds are made of chocolate in my fantasy world???

Her reason for letting the one guy go for holding back instead of being in her face was ridiculous. Doesn't she realize that the gay guys have 1 million dollars on the line! Of course they're going to be agressive. I think she is in trouble. Because she is hooked on Luciano and I can see her really liking Bradley too.

I think she is sweet but gullible, just as she said. She looks like Soleil Moon Frye to me.

In the case of THIS show, I DONT CARE if I am spoiled. Thanks for the links

But some other people may be unhappy, they sure are in other threads (in other topics) when posters decide to discuss the actual spoilers instead of just posting the links. Just playing Devil's Advocate here....hopefully no one gets angry at me}.

Not at all Sun - I was worried about spoiling at first too, since I know others get so upset about it on other topics. :-)

I will start a new thread for spoilers for this show, that way we can post and read there and ppl that don't want to be spoiled can discuss the show here.

Here is a thread where we can post spoilers, or anything we find out that may be considered a spoiler.

I think it will be more fun watching the show knowing who is straight and who is gay

I agree with you 100% Pamy!! So far, we should recap I guess, we know that Bill, Bradley and maybe Luciano are probably gay as there picutes are on gay bar websites. Right?

Maybe the mods could move the spoiler posts from the other thread to here?

ETA: I sent the mods a note asking if they could move the spoiler posts and connect the two threads together :-)
