IMHO — THIS WEEK IN GAY TV
This week I rate the last Desperate Housewives until the writers' strike is over, the first official episode of Bravo's Make Me A Supermodel, and the surprisingly extraordinary Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.
While Grandma Emma isn't exactly being realistic — these two are going to live under the same roof but in separate bedrooms? — I applaud her for stepping in and bailing the network from having to actually build a dorm room set.
Run, Luke, run! Noah's behavior this week might be an indication he's as unstable as his psychotic father. Do you really want someone so desperately eager to be part of your family? Don't say I didn't warn you if he gets his hair cut like yours, starts dressing like you, and using a cane!
If you think out singer Beth Ditto had a point about gay men foisting some of fashion's worst crimes onto women (and I think she does) then you have to love that the out Kressley is here making women feel good about their bodies. Now he should spend some time helping gay men with that!
Yes, you're adorable, but stop being so whiny! The dorms aren't that bad and you don't want to be a nineteen-year old wet blanket, do you? And don't you remember how badly things went the last time you rushed moving in with someone?
More male nudity, more drama, more reasons to keep watching. But talk about a tease! The show left us hanging waiting for the actual underwear shoot. But fear not that happens next week. Along with some surprisingly interesting stuff that doesn't involve hot nearly nude men.
The show's one straight boy was cut down by Heidi Klum's pinking shears which is too bad as I kind of liked him. Still, I'm glad Team Gay didn't lose Christian either, though that "fag" joke was a bit off-putting.
Oh, Mark how we missed you! Life is so boring without your one-liners and double-entendres! And the sight of you and Cliff proudly going into the little back room with the curtain made me so proud!
Damn you writers' strike for making this Cliff's last episode! David Blue deserves so much better than ads for Subway sandwiches!
Okay, the gay math joke — a gay three doesn't go into a gay nine — was pretty freakin' hilarious. And I'm even glad that stupid sculpture is gone. But Bob and Lee have had so little to do that I'm kind of wishing one of them had been sucked up by the twister so we could've had a little grieving widow or something.
Those Van De Kamp's are something else, aren't they? Bree is willing to pimp out Andrew for a new roof. Andrew is willing to be pimped out for a flat-screen television. Orson is just grateful no one ever learned all his secrets. Too bad the strike came along and we have to wait to see how this all plays out.
Ronnie rocked the first episode easily avoiding the bottom three and the risk of being eliminated. And the show didn't waste anytime getting the models into their underwear, but this is Bravo, not Oxygen so I wouldn't be expecting any homoeroticism anytime soon.
