IMHO — THIS WEEK IN GAY TV
No Nuke this week on As The World Turns, but we did have the season finale of Torchwood, as well as the last episodes for the year of Ugly Betty, Brothers & Sisters, and Desperate Housewives. Looks like we'll have to start moving down the food chain and seeing what God-awful game show Howie Mandel is doing now. Kidding! Warning: Survivor: China spoiler at bottom!
First Kevin dumps Jason for Scotty, but now he can't define what sort of "we" the two of them are? Kevin, Kevin, Kevin — you're going to end up old and bitter and editing some gay website all by yourself if you're not careful!
Scotty may be the other man here, but at least he's not being Kevin's doormat. On the other hand, he still doesn't have his own money, car, or even a bed.
Marc to Wilhelmina: I can make you Mother Teresa — but with better breasts! Vanessa Williams better be careful or Michael Urie might just steal all the limelight.
One lousy scene? No, no, no. This won't do at all. Someone get me Silvio Horta on the phone now. Do I have to do everything myself?
Personally, I thought the Torchwood finale was kinda lame, but what's not to love about a bisexual hero saving the world from destruction? That'll tick of William Donohoe almost as much as those gay angels! Even better, we get to see James Marsters lock lips with John Barrowman in little more than a month when the Season 2 of Torchwood arrives on BBC America!
No, Nuke doesn't get a down arrow because the boys did anything wrong this week, but because they didn't do anything this week.
Let's not kid ourselves about The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. We don't watch because it's particularly good television, or even good reality television. We watch because it's gay-friendly and is one of the few shows that gives us as much beefcake as it does shots of nekkid girls.
Tim and the gang probably don't really deserve a down arrow, but they get one anyway because we not only lost another gay contestant this week, but we didn't have any hot models to ogle. I may be shallow, but I'm consistent!
First Todd learned his sister had miscarried, and then he came oh-so-close to winning immunity. Still, he survived another vote and will hopefully mop up the floor with Courtney who mocked his family loss as an acting performance. It's fine to be suspicious, but she was just nasty.
