OMFG, yes, I loved this show <3.

And Alan Carr is narrating it? EVEN BETTER.

I watched a series of this, it was years ago and I'm sure the woman fell for a gay bloke and was gutted, don't remember seeing it TV for a while til now though

yeah I loved the first series :lovedup: she picked Ben and he was gay. I think he gave her half the prize fund though :rolleyes: bloody gays.

I vaguely remember hearing about another one years ago called something like "there's something about Maria" where the woman was actually a transgender male and none of the male contestants vying for "her" attention knew this until the winner was picked and the surprise was revealed.
I think the guy went mental and they all ended up suing the production company!

LOL, he was lovely though, I hope we get a proper **** that wins and is all like 'HAHAHAHA I WAS STRINGING YOU ALONG'

I heard that too. :joker:

this sounds amazing

this sounds amazing

It is amazing. Especially with Alan Carr being apart of it as well, I hope he's able to adapt his humor into narrating like Robert Webb does with Young/Dumb.

I remember the first series! 'I'm going to ask you to leave the hacienda!'

I remember the guitar player at the end who sang that song. I might watch this series

I love this show, I have seen two series.

One hosted by June Sarpong, where Zoe picked Ben, who was gay, as mentioned ^ but I thought it was sweet he gave her half the money, you could tell he felt like crap...I'm just a soft touch for a happy ending lol.

The other one was the the US version, where Jackie picked Banks and he was straight! Joy! I loved it when he had to tell her the truth at the end, and he said "Honey, I am as straight as you are beautiful." Sob, lovely. :)

Can't wait to watch the new series.

OMG. I used to love this show when it was on like.. 7 or 8 years ago? Glad it's back :D

Haha i remember last time she picked the gay guy :laugh:

They should put Andrew Stone on this show, it would confuse the heck out of everyone

Playing it straight (Mondays, 9pm, E4)
 

The gameshow is back! Playing it straight when a woman dates a bunch of guys and at the end she hopes to pick a "straight" male. If she picks a "gay" male then he leaves with 50 grand and she leaves with NOTHING.

Who's watching?

I think there is a thread on this already Beastie. But I am looking forward to it!

ME! I have to do some juggling with my evening's viewing as there is a few good things on tonight, but that's top of the list :)

Oh damn it, it clashes with Big Brother, I'l see how ****e Shameless is though, will end up watching on +1

I want to watch this but cant :(

It's probably for the best anyway. I'd just get a body complex from it. The people on these shows are too good looking it makes me jealous and sad.

Think I will watch this at 9pm, Big Brother on channel 5+1 on 10pm then Shameless on channel 4+1 at 11pm.

Looks like I will miss BBBOTS!

Might give it a go, looks funny :joker:

Never seen or heard of it but I will watch it.

Going to watch Big Brother at 9pm, then this at 10pm on E4+1 then Shameless at 11pm on Channel 4+1.

Is it just on every Monday night?

And I will watch BOTS on Catch Up tomorrow :laugh:
