I’m sure that when gay brothers Sam and Dan began The Amazing Race they didn’t expect their penises would cause the blogsphere to twitter with furvor. But they did and it has, though not for the reason you may think. There was no uncensored broadcast dick slippage like that of a Survivor contest’s member briefly flopping about during a challenge a while back. This time, the fury that set keyboards on fire is CBS’s censoring of Sam and Dan’s nether regions and why it was necessary.
I’m sure that when gay brothers Sam and Dan began The Amazing Race they didn’t expect their penises would cause the blogsphere to twitter with furvor.

There was no uncensored broadcast dick slippage like that of a Survivor contest’s member briefly flopping about during a challenge a while back. This time, the fury that set keyboards on fire is CBS’s censoring of Sam and Dan’s nether regions and why it was necessary. While no official word from CBS has come on the subject, speculation abounds from wardrobe malfunction to erections to just because they are gay men playing in the mud with other men. The only thing that is clear is that the censoring has caused more of a fuss than had the show been left uncensored.
TAR’s Dan was in underwear and could possible have had a peek-a-boo moment, but what was wrong with Sam? Sam, who was wearing shorts, also had his crotch censored and had he not been blurred, this probably would’ve been a non-issue. It does make one wonder what the real problem was as there have been some questionable moments during the recent season of CBS’s Survivor where underwear-clad schemer Russell’s silhouette of his manhood has been clearly visible in several episodes.

It does make one wonder what the real problem was as there have been some questionable moments during the recent season of CBS’s Survivor where underwear-clad schemer Russell’s silhouette of his manhood has been clearly visible in several episodes. I took a second look at the glimpses that weren’t censored, the guys movement and stance in the mud and how things were hanging (err… pointing). That combinded with Sam’s comment about “the hot Estonian guys” leads me to believe that CBS was running terrified that people would assume that in some shots the guys had erections. Whether they did or not no longer seems to be the issue as it has led to a larger concern… would CBS have been as quick to blur if the guys were straight?
Update 12/08/09 – Sam explains in interview with AfterElton: “Here’s the deal. Cheyne had black boxers on so you couldn’t see everything for him. Dan had lighter-colored boxers on, I had paper-thin little shorts on, and so you could just see too much. Apparently, the outline was too obvious, so they had to blur everything. No, we were not getting excited by the Estonian hotties, despite what everyone else seems to think. There’s not too much that’s erotic about playing volleyball with your brother in a little town in Estonia.”
On it being a gay issue on CBS’ part, Dan only said, “Trust me, that was my theory. But it happened and it was really funny. We were watching with our dad when that episode came on, and he was just like, ‘What’s going on?’”
Hmm…

Oh my God! Jeff and Jordan are my favorites this season on Big Brother. They remind me a lot of Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson (hmm maybe Newlyweds: Jeff and Jordan is a show in their future?) Anyway, I became overcome and all a flutter and a twitter when Jeff as “garden boy” was revealed. 
Here! TV and Regent Media have issued an official press release concerning Dante’s Cove, dispelling rumors that the show has been cancelled or abandoned by the network. They have announced that production on 10 new episodes for season four is to begin! We have the full release posted over at our sister site,
Bromance. Really? Okay, this new MTV show should be called Dunderhead because that is what all of those guys are. Well, the gay dude aside as he had the sense to flee when he caught sight of what was to be. If this is typical straight guy behavior, then I’m ever so thankful Dorothy is my friend. What nonesense.
All I can say is wow! Can it be so? Did I really see the most romantic marriage proposal between two men happen on commercial network television? Well either I’m dreaming or I did and it couldn’t have been any dreamier. When Kevin proposed to Scotty on ABC’s “Brothers and Sisters” this past week, it had to be, no it was, the most romantic scene to be shown… ever. In fact the whole episode stands out as probably one of the best hours of drama ever on television. It surely has landed the show an Emmy nod for best drama and Patricia Wetting a win for best supporting actress for sure.
Could ‘Survivor: China’ have been any better? Not only was this the best season to date, but it could not have gotten any sweeter than cutie Todd claiming the title of Sole Survivor!
After having seen the first two episodes of season three of ‘Dante’s Cove,’ I can see the show maturing and reaching that “zone” type of place that most shows do by their third season. It is still a hit. While it is still great and I can’t wait until I can see the rest of the episodes, I’m finding a few things to gripe about. Okay, Dante’s is three now and I’ve only gushed about it and even
