Battle of the Network Gays: June 25, 2010

This week's Battle of the Network Gays features some vampire royalty, a queer comic cowboy, a gay quarterback, and a team playing chef.

Arnold Myint of Top Chef

Why? This week the chef's were forced to work together to design a middle school menu. Arnold was a part of the winning team, and stuck up for himself by calling out another chef who was taking too much credit for the group's efforts. Arnold is clearly no pushover.

Party Down's Cole Landry

Why? The setup was great. A star college quarterback's NFL: draft pick chances are ruined when he gets outed on national TV. It sure didn't hurt that the character was played by Greek's Beaver (actor Aaron Hill)!

True Blood's Talbot & Russell

Why? Well, as the Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell is already royalty. And Talbot sure acts like royalty - did you see the way he descended that staircase? We're looking forward to see what further hospitality they provide Vampire Bill.

Marvel Comics' Rawhide Kid

"The Tombstone Blues" sees the out gay Rawhide Kid assembling other heroes of the wild west to investigate the kidnapping of Wyatt and Morgan Earp. Marvel assures us the comic will give a nod to the character's sexuality, but the plot will be focused on other things.
