If it wasn't bad enough that the judgemental dating show 'Take Me Out' is back, the "unique" reality game show 'Playing it Straight' also returns for a new series on Monday...why oh why? The aim of the game is simple - one beautiful girl must pick her dream man from a group of eleven guys, if she chooses a straight guy they both win 25k but if she chooses a gay guy then he will win 50k and she gets nothing. So, the gay guys just have to 'act straight' to bring home the big bucks if they can charm the girl to make her think he is the one for her. Bizarre if you ask me.
I know the reality show is very tongue-in-cheek but do we really need to stoop so low as to 'play along at home', as E4 suggest, and guess the gay guys? It all seems very stereotypical and kind of goes against all the hard work being done to demand equality, don't you think?
The trailer says it all:
Shame on you Alan Carr!
