Real Love

Lance Bass To Host Gay “Bachelor”; What Could Go Wrong?

By John Russell July 13, 2016 at 12:07pm · 17 comments

This is the true story of 13 thirsty dudes picked to live in a house and have their lives taped to find out what happens when gay guys stop being polite and start…trying to find love!

Logo announced its first-ever gay dating show. Former boybander and happily married homo Lance Bass will host the Bachelor-inspired Finding Prince Charming. The show will throw a baker’s dozen of guys into an L.A. brothel house where they will compete for the affections of one eligible bachelor — and, let’s face it, probably each other as well — in what could possibly represent the apex of reality TV drama. Be still, our cruel, voyeuristic little hearts!

Frankly, it’s hard to imagine why we haven’t seen such a perfect storm of sex, conflict, and straight up gay bitchery on TV before. As Vulture points out, Bravo tried its hand at a gay dating show way back in the pre-Housewife days. 2003’s short-lived Boy Meets Boy was handicapped by a particularly cruel and borderline homophobic twist: half of the contestants were actually gay-baiting straight guys. But Logo’s formula has its own twist built right in. Like the ladies on The Bachelor, the boys on Prince Charming will hopefully get pretty devious when it come to competing with each other. But it’s also highly likely that they’ll also form some alliances — and I don’t mean the Survivor kind.

The show is set to premiere this fall, though there’s no news on who the charming prince at the center of the throwdown will be. But if Lifetime’s surprise hit UnReal has taught us anything, it’s that whatever casting shenanigans are going on at this very moment could be just as entertaining as the drama on the show itself.

    They’ve already picked Mr Prince Charming ie Robert Sepulveda Jr.

    @Stache: TMZ published something about it. He is ridiculously hot. Like, it’s kind of off putting how hot he is.

    Bass is somebody that I feel like I should like because he is out (leaving out the fact that it wasn’t voluntary).

    However, whenever he opens his mouth he seems to put his foot in it.

    This should be an entertaining drama fest. I do wonder how they will keep the guys on target and discourage them from hooking up with each other. Maybe a stipulation in the contract that they will automatically be eliminated or something?

    Interesting. Wonder how far they will go, how much they will show. Lance Bass should work fine. My adult son would make me subscribe to LOGO for this.

    I remember “Boy Meets Boy”. I found it quite entertaining. You can watch it on YouTube.

    Well, when the contestants on “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” get bored they drink and argue with each other. On the gay version there will no doubt be multiple hook-ups, probably an orgy or two. Unless they’re all housed in different locations, which could get cumbersome for the show.

    Gay dating shows don’t work because gay-identifying men don’t date. They pick up and fu@k. It’s as simple – and uncomplicated – as that.

    The reason why dating shows work for male-female combinations is because it’s the woman who wants to do the dating, not the man. She demands it. If he doesn’t agree to date her, she refuses to provide sexual consent, thus enabling her to control how he behaves.

    If you guys don’t understand this, I really think you should take a crash course in how women operate at the psychological level. It’s in your best interests because it explains why there is so much homophobia towards male-male interactions.

    Any bets on how many of the so-called suitors pair off when they’re not a date?

    My advice to the show’s producer(s): stock lots of condoms, lube, and PrEP pills.

    At least Logo will be adding some gay content. Why can’t people stop being super critical?

    @Brian:

    Brian, question then who is it that just took the number of same sex marriageso over 1 million?

    Oooops, that’s right. Brian never has any facts.

    Hey Queerty, you banned other Trolls, how does Brian keep making the cut??

  • Stache

    @DCguy: They have banned him. His last one was Micheal Mueller. I guess they figured he’ll just slither back in somehow.

    Sorry, NO! just NO! – It’s bad enough we are subjected to The Bachelor and The Bachelorette that now, to try and fit into being treated as equals we get this? WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Oh I don’t know. Every guy is going to be a Gym Rat,(Making “Normal” Gay men more self conscious of their bodies and looks) Speedo’s or Thong’s, Some will be bitchy queens, some will be exhibitionists, there will be a lot of sex..ETC ETC…Everything FOX NEWS has been telling the world for years.

    I want equality for everyone but WHY stoop this low? Seriously – You can not come up with something original? I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

    @Brian: I woud say “Amen Brother”! (GRINDR – a DATING APP? HAHAHA!) But I am Atheist. so fist bump!

    I can’t wait another bitchy, tired, queen fest. I sure it will be a bullshit festival focusing on 20-26, fake tan, fake blond hair, skin tight thong up the ass queens. We deserve better.

    I remember Boy Meets Boy…how dare they trick a poor bachelorette…ehhh, she was compensated. Do people still watch Logo? Everything is censored – boring.
