Confessions of a G33k

I am so hooked on this show too, and seen every episode so far. While I'm not likely to be making an appointment at a spa anytime soon, I find myself laughing often, especially at Carson's constant quips.

Agree with you about Thom's tastes and it's cool seeing the owner of a big interior design company actually repainting the house himself. I just wonder who pays for all that new furniture and clothes.

And it's educational TV. Although I know the shaving after a shower thing, a couple of friends have all remarked the same thing: "I didn't know that you work hair gel in from the back."

Dude...I just realized this post sounds really gay...yikes.

Yeah, Carson continually makes me say, "Oh my god he said that!" and then giggle. He has a wicked, non-PC sense of humor. Also, I couldn't help myself after he started teasing last night about "baby got back"?

Also, I don't think that Urban Cowboy/30 year old MBA relationship is going to last. But that's just my opinion.

I still haven't figured out the appeal of the show, to be honest. I mean, guys who are in their 30s and still don't know that it might be a good idea to wash your dishes every once in a while or that sheets need to be washed are in need of more than style tips.

I'm also a little dubious of the product placements. "No, you can't use regular shaving gel. Go out and buy some goop from Zhir!"

Yep, some of those guys are real wrecks. I mean, seriously...pizza boxes under the bed? Burger King bags under sofa? Geez.

RE the cowboy/MBA, yep, it seemed like she hesitated a bit too much when she said yes. It'd be so cool if they do a "where are they now" show sometime down the road so we can see how everyone turns out. That show might go like this:
MBA: Sigh....
UC: What's your problem now?
MBA: You never put me up on a pedestal and feed me expensively decadent chocolates anymore.
UC: Kaviria hatachooey (which he thinks means something in Armenian but he's wrong). What do you want? I don't have time. I spent an hour lighting all these damn candles for you.
MBA For me? Ha! You wouldn't need so many candles if you'd pay the electric bill. Why don't you at least get a job?
UC: Hey, it's not my fault they don't have any opening for cattle rustlers around here. Why don't you finish that degree you've been working on for the last 15 years and get a job yourself?
MBA: Kaviria hatachooey (pronounced right so it actually does mean something in Armenian)
UC: Ah, shut up and go fetch me another beer, woman.

But that's just the hopeless romantic in me. Things might not turn out that good for them.

I've been talking about this show at work with a couple of friends who watch it, and every time some straight man unfamiliar with the show hears us talking about it, he jumps to the conclusion that the gay guys are putting the straight guy in drag. THREE different men so far have jumped to this conclusion. I guess they're all terrified of being emasculated and turned into girls. What is it about that?
