I read it and just couldn't believe it. The story ran in the Globe, so may need to be taken with a grain of salt. But the picture of Brandon and Kelly together looked VERY cosy. Read on for some excerpts for the article.

Survivor's gay contestant Brandon Quinton has shocked his hometown pals--by falling for Kelly Goldsmith, the girk he helped to kick off the show! The two former TV rivals are locked in a hot romance, says pals. And as Globe's exclusive picture reveals, they're blissfully happy.

"After Kelly got kicked off the show, she fumed for a while about Brandon being the turncoat who stabbed her in the back," says an insider. "But eventually, he got the boot as well."

The pair lasted long enough, though, to make Survivor's seven-member jury--which means they sat around waiting for the contest to wind down to its final weeks.

"They had very little to do during that period and got to know each other very well," says the insider.

"Brandon is a terrific-looking guy and very funny. Kelly is just a sweetheart. They found they really liked each other and grew close."

Globe revealed in October that while Brandon lives an openly gay lifestyle, he is not exclusively homosexual. In fact, he was once married.

Despite his disastrous relationship [with his former wife], Brandon began seeing Kelly after they returned to the States from their Survivor stint in Africa--even though he was still in a relationship with another man, says sources.

"He's been seeing a guy for quite a while," confides a close friend. "They got back together when Brandon returned home to Dallas."

"Then suddenly, he became good friends with Kelly. He'd go to Los Angeles to see her and she started coming to Dallas."

"One night, I walked into the bathroom at a club, and he and Kelly were smooching. I was totally baffled by the sight. Brandon had this look on his face like "OMG, you caught me!"

"She [Kelly] is so into him, she only sees his straight side...but he still keeps his boyfriend."

That's it folks, all the juicy bits.

Nope--hard copy only. The few parts that I left out were about his boyfriend now and his ex-wife. The rest is verbatim (well, except for the typo "girk" :))

Well, it made ME jolly. They look very cute and happy together. I'm not one who enjoys betting on the ponies much, so tend to stay away from all that tiresome dead pool business. Guess I'm a woman's woman--I likes me gossipy bits.

I don't buy it at all. BUT it sure is fun to speculate, huh? I think Kelly and Brandon are really close friends and very well may cuddle, giggle, and smooch as only a gay man and his extra special heterosexual girl pal can do. (flashback to Will and Grace episodes and a couple of personal acquaintances of mine)

About the bit that Kelly only sees his straight side .......that side of him must have been completely edited out of the Survivor episodes.

Yep Oregonfire, I see your point. Let's just say I don't disbelieve, but I'm skeptical.

I'm just curious--are many of you skeptical because the story appeared in a tabloid, or because one of the people involved is supposedly only attracted to men? Why is it so impossible to entertain the idea that these two may actually be attracted to each other? Enlighten me.

I'm skeptical because these 2 Survivor players have been abnormally hungry for media attention-did more interviews, publicity, etc than most, and planted more red herrings. I'm thinking it is a way to stay in the limelight.

I agree with Car, I wouldn't trust anything either one of them would say at this point, even if their words were backed by a 100% guarantee!!

I think they are all about the publicity AND I think that the both of them have been the most dishonest in their interviews...

I don't think their respective sexual orientations have anything to do with the story. I think they would both start dating Tom's goats if they thought it would get them attention.

I have to admit that I'm most skeptical of the story because it appeared in a tabloid. Sometimes fact is stranger than fiction, so anything is possible, but I don't trust tabloids. Actually I don't even read them.

I think it's funny because there are always "rumors" of people making out in bathrooms. Didn't Alicia & Jeff, and Alicia & Colby, and someone from BB2 make out in a bathroom somewhere too?
I think that it could be perfectly possible that Brandon and Kelly formed some kind of special relationship out there, and may have brought it home. I don't think that that is what happened though.. I tend to agree with the Will & Grace aspect. Some gay men make great "best-girlfriends"..( no offense to anyone meant or intended! Just speaking from past personal experience.)

The last place in the world I would want to kiss someone is in a public restroom. Where do they kiss in one anyway. Most do not have that much room. I do not believe a word of it. I am sure that they are close friends, but that is it.

Oregonfire - To answer your question, I doubt the story because:

1. Until we know the winner of Survivor 3, I think anything the ousted Survivors do in public is for the camera and smacks of publicity seeking.

2. Because it appeared in a tabloid, and nowhere else.

These are the ONLY things on which I base my opinion.

"After Kelly got kicked off the show, she fumed for a while about Brandon being the turncoat who stabbed her in the back," says an insider. "But eventually, he got the boot as well."

In an interview he said he told Kelly it was Kim P. that turned on her and voted her off and she only just found out it was him when the show aired...consistency...

I thought the same thing, Lilkimishot!! Except I think Brandon told Kelly it was Frank that did it. I don't believe it at all, because that statement was wrong, so the whole thing was a lie!!
