Do you ever think that so-called reality tv is anything but realistic? Well, now there’s a new show that may change your mind. Here’s an excerpt from the article on Yahoo:

Over at Fox, net has slotted the Lion TV-produced “Playing It Straight” for Fridays at 8 p.m., starting March 12.

Skein, set at the Sizzling Saddles dude ranch in Elko, Nev., revolves around a single woman named Jackie who attempts to make a love connection by choosing from a pool of single men — some of whom are actually gay. It’s been in the works since last summer and was filmed under the cover title “Who Will She Choose?” (Daily Variety, Aug. 20.)

“This show turned out terrifically,” Fox reality kingpin Mike Darnell said. “It’s intense and emotional and funny all at the same time. It sort of breaks stereotypes, which I like.”

Darnell said Jackie has a tough time figuring out who’s gay and who’s not, and predicted viewers will be stumped, too.

“The straight men are playing it normal and the gay men went through some training,” he said. “Some really fool you. It’s emotionally draining for the star.”

If a straight man is the last man remaining at show’s end, the couple splits $1 million. If the last dude on the ranch is gay, he gets the coin.

You may be asking how is this realistic? Well, just think about it. You’re single in LA. You go to a bar (or a grocery store, a bookstore, whatever). You spot a cute guy. You wonder–is he gay or straight? How much more real can it possibly get than that? Minus the $1 million of course.
