Meet the two out gay guys of Bravo's "Miami Social"

Come July Bravo will be premiering another in its ever-expanding suite of "docu-series", and for once it doesn't have "Real Housewives" in the title (thank ... God).

Miami Social follows the intertwined lives of a group of seven movers-and-shakers in South Beach, and considering you can't snap a thong without hitting a gaggle of gays in that area, it's not surprising that there are two out guys in the bunch.

Meet them and learn more about this summer fling below...

Meet Michael:

Michael is described like this on the show's site:

Michael is one of Miami's "in the know," tapped into the media world as a freelance editor covering local entertainment and A-list celebrities for magazines such as In Touch. He also commentates for local and national TV shows such as CNN’s Showbiz Tonight. He is currently working hard at launching his own website – thestylelabonline.com – an e-commerce site that will cover all that is fashionable. His job allows him the freedom to explore the hottest Miami locales, including lunch meetings at the chicest hotel pools and cocktails on the hottest rooftop lounges. A lover of the outdoors, he enjoys life with his three-year-old poodle, Austin, all while looking for love in the sometimes complicated and dramatic world of South Beach.

And here's his intro video:


And meet Ariel:

Ariel is one of the key players in the Miami nightlife scene, a regular at the hottest parties and clubs in town and always on the VIP list. Never one to sit still, he works as one of Miami’s premiere fashion producers and also serves as Vice President of one of the family business, 20/20 Vision Management, Inc. Ariel counts his social life as his other occupation, and is personal friends with some the top fashion designers and celebrities. There is never a dull moment with Ariel, who considers the posh area of South Beach his personal playground. Tapped into the fashion, entertainment and celebrity world of Miami, Ariel continues to make his mark as part of the fast-paced "It Crowd."

And here's Ariel's intro video:


So essentially they're both people I'd like to have with me if I were trapped on a deserted island ... so that if we were attacked by a tiger I could trip them and run.

Well, so be it. And a quick glance at the rest of the cast has me pretty convinced that this show is going to have all the depth and substance of an episodic vodka commercial, so they're probably in perfectly good company.

Will you be tuning in?

'So essentially they're both people I'd like to have with me if I were trapped on a deserted island ... so that if we were attacked by a tiger I could trip them and run.'

Genius, pure genius. I knocked a large glass of expensive wine over my desk when I read that and I'm still laughing.

Thank you Mr Juergens, your wit is a thing of beauty.

Dare I say...

...the "Almost Gay Hills?" And to think all this happened while Lauren was out of town!

I'll stick with Burn Notice

I'll stick with Burn Notice or Dexter if I want shows about South Beach. 

Another show featuring a young cutie who has his thong-snapping finger on the pulse of entertainment or a DJ, is stereotypically redundant and boring.  Isn't there more going on in South Beach than this vapidity?

Ohhhhhh Dexter...

Now you're talkin'!

ok...

So one says... "I used to be a loose cannon" and the other says "I am a freaker outer." So basically the image we don't really need to be showing to the rest of America.

Why couldn't Jake from the Alaska show get a gig on another show where it just about living and he and his partner just HAPPEN to be gay instead of these vapid bozos?

The Formerly Cute Andy Cohen

Andy Cohen seemed like the greatest thing to hit Bravo when he was initially promoting Project Runway.  Then he started denying that the producers had any influence on the decisions made (despite the legal disclaimer on every show that says that they do).  Then he started foisting Blow Out, that awful gym show and Real Housewives of Orange County on us.  Now we're dealing with "Real Housewives" from across the country (Topic:  Real Housewives--neither Real nor Housewives.  Discuss among yourselves).

I have decided that Andy is really Lucifer--remember, he was described as the most beautiful of the Angels before he fell.

Given their spray tans

I've only watched this a couple of times but I always thought it should have been called the Real Oranges of Housewife County.

Is Housewives / Is not Housewives

I'm, like, so freaking excited now! This looks just like all the Housewives, except, there's no "Housewives" in the title! That makes it, like, a totally new show!

Something to add to my roomie-nights!
