"Boy Meets Boy: Franklin could be gay"

Posted by orbiter on 08-26-03 at 10:38 PM
The very good Franklin/Sean theory might not be 100% correct if you think outside the box as the producers obviously did from the beginning. Within the the last set of groupings there could've been another straight:
Brian was paired with Darren. Darrin was eliminated and was gay
(Brian could be straight)
Wes was paired with Robb. Robb was eliminated and was gay
(Wes could be straight)
Franklin was paired with Sean. Sean was eliminated and was straight.
We could tell that James liked the three remaining (the only question in the three pairs was Wes and Robb) a little more than the leaving people. Remember the disclaimer at the closing that the producers confer with James but don't "Influence" his choice. They could've ended up with two straights and one gay at the end the odds were better for this than all straight. I'm sure that by watching James through out the filming and discussions we did not see they had a close idea of the way the choice would swing (except possiblibly Wes/Robb), didn't you?

Well, the theories are flying! I'm a sraight female who has a pretty interactive life with gays, both in the workplace and socially. I really hope Franklin isn't toying with James and the rest of us! My money is on Brian for the straight guy. He's the only one who doesn't express a real romantic interest in James or the dates they go on. He's always hoping for "good conversation." If Wes is gay he deserves an Oscar for his performance. I would be FLOORED if it was him. All in all, I don't want to see James get his heart broken. He is one of the most beautiful men I have ever seen, and it seems like he is a great guy. I have a feeling he may pick Franklin, which is why I hope he is, in fact, gay. It is really hard to tell with these last three. I picked out all the breeders before. My only surprise was that Darren was actually gay. He seemed kind of boring and stand-offish from the group and I really thought he was straight. Well,six days and counting...I really hope it works out for the lovely James.

I don't want to see James get his heart broken too, but from I understand, filming for this show took like two weeks. I think that if James did pick wrong, he might be initially upset, but he'll get over it. Can you really get that emotionally attack that quickly? If it's any consolation to him, he'll be able to have his pick of guys after the show.

(Brian is the obvious pick to me too)

I think James would get upset that he was set up more than anything. He went into this whole thing with a pure heart and truely was there to meet someone....kudos to the gay guys that were involved in the process too since the gay guys had no idea there were straight guys on the show.

C M Lee "since gay guys had NO idea there were str8 guys"????

Ever hear of that built-in "gay-dar" those of us who ARE out have in our brain? It is a biological protection we have to be able to avoid getting GAY-BASHED by a breeder who invokes a
"homo panic" defense before the Judge during a Hate Crime assault.
