Many of you women will LOVE this one, especially if you've ever wished your man could understand what it's like being a woman! :-)

New reality series coming to the TBS channel on Monday, October 19th:

"He's a Lady"....manly men vie to win a quarter million bucks in a competition to become "the ultimate lady". LOL (The hook is that when they ap[plied for this show, they thought they were competing in a show called "All American Man"!

http://tbssuperstation.com/shows/hesalady

The Show:

TBS, television's very funny network, takes eleven men on a wild adventure as they walk a mile in their wives or girlfriends' shoes when they undergo a complete feminine makeover in the new original reality series He's a Lady. The show, hosted by Tony Frassrand (House Detective), comes to TBS from Evolution Film & Tape, Inc. (Switched!, Bands Reunited) and Full Circle Entertainment.

As the show opens, eleven men temporarily leave behind their wives and girlfriends for a chance to win a quarter of a million dollars. The guys think they're going to be on a show called "All American Man," competing in grueling physical and mental challenges. But the catch is more than they ever imagined: The guys will actually be transformed and given the chance to see what life is like as a lady, with one man winning a huge prize in the end.

Each week, the competitors learn something new about what it's like to live as a lady, from dealing with bras and jewelry to bonding with real women in typically all-female activities. They are then judged by a celebrity panel including: Morgan Fairchild (The Seduction), John Salley (The Best Damn Sports Show Period) and Debbie Matenopoulos (Good Day Live).

Weekly challenges for the competitors include learning how to walk, talk and dress like a lady, followed by going out in public to find out how convincing they are; learning to flaunt their new attitude with training from supermodel Frederique; planning a real wedding and then being asked to serve as the bridesmaids; and finally, completing a "lady of the house" challenge back in their hometowns, where the guys must remain in character in front of family and friends in the absence of their wives and girlfriends. During their hilarious and heartwarming quest, the competitors will live in "The Doll House," a beautifully decorated dwelling designed to help them get in touch with their feminine sides.

The series climaxes with a beauty pageant, where the competition boils down to the quarter-million-dollar question: "What, as a lady, have you learned about being a man?" The judges will then select the best man in the group, based on a variety of criteria.

Tonight on NBC, I saw ads for this show (although it will air on TBS)....the video made it look even funnier than it did in the write-ups I had seen! The guys are a hoot and they are apparently really going along with the premise with a smile....even though they were ambushed and tricked into it!

This one will prove to be entertaining!

Wow is Oprah like doing ads for all the reality shows or what? Everytime there's a new one she's got the contestants on.

Heads up! This is supposed to start TONIGHT!

And for what it's worth, my digital cable box lists the air time as 10:05 PM - 11:05PM on cable TBS.

So....if you are recording it to watch later, be sure to take that 5 minute late start (and finish)) into account!

"I'm going to have to ask you to remove your wig." Will that be as famous as "The tribe has spoken?"

I loved the first episode!! However, the winner is more predictable than the SWAN!!

Only two guys REMOTELY could pass as women!! The others just look like drag queens.

What bothered me about the show was that some of the guys obviously had great makeup and hair styles which suited them...those same men also had great clothing choices made for them.

Others looked horrible...crummy makeup application, poor colour/style of wigs and who would think that a PANTSUIT would be the choice for the bowlegged skinny guy to wear??

Anyways, I was talking to my mom later in the evening and she said the same thing. That she felt the producers were leaning towards certain guys.

I am pretty good with makeup....I could have made ALL those guys look good. I felt bad for all of the guys who were ousted this first episode. It wasnt THEIR choice to choose those horrible wigs and illfitting outfits.

Anyone besides ME think that the two effeminate guys who make excellent women are really gay?? The 'girlfriend' of the darkhaired guy looked like it was his sister/cousin...look around the eyes(wink). And the other blonde girl said she thought her 'boyfriend' was a girl the first time she met him.

I love to watch bodylanguage and it makes much of my decisions for me. The legitimate couples presented differently, IMHO.

There is a repeat of this show on tonight (Weds) Or maybe it is a new episode!!?

Tonight is a repeat, Sunshyne4u.

I thought this show was hysterical. I kept wondering how many of our female TVCH board members are insisting that their hubbys watch it with them! :-)

I got the impression that the winner will not be based as much on being able to "pass" as much as their attitude and willingness to actually try to learn how to deal with life just as real women do. I think it's much more of an attitude competition than a beauty pageant.

One guy did set off my gaydar...the thin one that goes by "Scarlett" and who actually proposed to his girlfriend on Oprah the other day...but that doesn't really mean anything. I've been fooled before.....some of the gayest men I know wouldn't set off any gaydar alarms, even if they were surrounded by the NFL!

All in all, a good reality show, entertainment-wise.....but I think it'll turn out to be a great growing experience for the participants!

I'd drown myself if I had to live in the DollHouse though LOL

I agree Sanfran...I am also hoping that it will be judged on 'overall' commitment to acting as a female. Thing is...whom is going to check up on the guys? you know, whether they are keeping up with the waxing and shaving. Oh well, we shall see!

There is something about this show that is perfect for Halloween season. Think about how many guys LOVE dressing up as women for Halloween!! It has always amazed me how even the most beerdrinking Fishing Hunter will want to don a dress THEN GO OUT IN PUBLIC !! ROTFL Boys LIKED to play dressup when I was a kid, obviously they still do LOL

Tell me about it....I live in the Castro in SF!

I can attest to the fact that it's not easy being pretty. Here's a picture of me with a friend on Halloween, 1993.

That's me on the right....I went as a "white trash bride of Frankenstein". In fact, there were four of us (the other three not pictured) all doing the white trash bride of Frankenstein theme and our picture ended up in an Australian magazine in! LOL

I was really scary! I am already 6'1"....but add about 3 or 4 inches of platform heels and a hairdo that was almost a foot tall, and you can imagine how big I was!

(oh yeah....there was actually padding in the pantyhose to get the poochy stomach and fat thighs and ass.....of course, nowadays I wouldn't need the extra padding! LOL:-))

Albert(Alberta) and Michael(Scarlett) make better looking woman than me!

None of them set off my "gaydar" but Albert did seem feminine to me..
But really, these guys signed up for a show called "The All-American Man" so chances are, most are straight.
EXCEPT, a gay man could have signed up, just to show that not only straight men can be All-American...

Either way, I LOVE this show!!
I can't wait for next week!

I watched, and I didnt make my hubby watch!! I'm wondering if they'll take it to the next level and make the guys wear the pregnancy belly!! I think that is one of the more dramatic instruments in lady life!! I dont think the show thought of it tho, or had enough material without it!!

LOL Sanfran, thanks for sharing!! poochy indeed!! lol It looks like you had fun!

Great Pic Sanfranjoshfan!!!! I love the outfit!

Good legs too considering how tall you are...that skirt sure is SHORT ROTFLMAO!

Must have been a fun fun night.

****

I agree with Neko, those two men make better women than me, in my opinion. Mind you, I think part of it is that the two guys are tall and slender. You can wear a Feed sack and look good if you have the right figure.

Heads up! He's a Lady airs tonight!

And if you are recording it to watch later, be aware that the schedule at TBS says it airs at 10:10 pm - 11:10 pm....a 10 minute late start following Sex and the City.
