Guest Conway Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I have to admit that I'm not much for reality TV. But, the Bravo show "Make Me A Supermodel" really has me hooked. I tuned in to see Chicago's own Boystown beauty and total sweetheart of a guy Ronnie Kroell. Those of us who have seen Ronnie grow up over the past few years, first as a skinny ID checker at the door of Mini Bar and then blossom into this gorgeous hunky guy, just can't help but cheer for him in the weekly competition. Of particular interest is his developing relationship with another gorgeous male contestant who is a self proclaim straight married man. Those who know Ronnie know that his totally sweet personality is every bit s attractive as his dashingly good looks. The show is full of really hot guys, though Ronnie is the only openly declared gay man among the crowd. Is anyone else watching this show on Thursday nights? http://www.bravotv.com/Make_Me_A_Supermode...el&p=ronnie Quote
Guest DickHo Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I'm totally hooked too. Ben and Perry, what hunks! Quote
Members TampaYankee Posted February 5, 2008 Members Posted February 5, 2008 I have caught three or so episodes. Interesting enough and some good eye candy but I really dislike how reality shows are presented, esecially the fashion/model shows. Some hunky scenary. Cable, freed from the onerous FTC regulations, was supposed to be a bastion for adult TV. Not a plethora of porn channels but able to take a bared breast in a Vegas Revue or fanny cheeks climbing out of a competition pool on a sunny day. Yet the air brush seems to have become part of the everyday production tool set. Will we ever overcome the smothering puritanical yoke willed us by a small goup of colonials with reach far beyond their number. I find this especially disconcerting for the fashion/model reality TV genre. The whole purpose of these shows is to see how well-created design drapes a human body or vice versa. Yet we are presented with a fusillade of short duration of different near-instantaneous shots that are supposed to show the product without showing the goods. I'm sorry but it shows neither well as neither exists independent of the other. Like all of this genre it skates on a tease. Some tease is good but too much becomes frustrating and then boring. If it weren't for the minor conflict and personalities that go with a reality show i think boredom might set in earlier. I will continue to watch it when I catch it and nothing better is on. Sorry to go off on a rant slant. Quote
