Details on the ''Bachelor''-style gay reality show -- Bravo's ''Boy
Meets Boy,'' featuring 15 men vying for a single guy, also takes a
little twisted inspiration from ''Joe Millionaire'' by Nicholas Fonseca



OH, 'BOY' The Bravo bunch, including the sought-after bachelor (front
and center)

What in the name of Celine Dion is going on here? Bravo's ''Boy Meets
Boy,'' a six-episode take on a certain ABC dating game, features 15 male
suitors vying for the well-moisturized hand of an unnamed 32-year-old
male law-firm employee. But, naturally, there's a twist: Hidden among
the potential mates are straight men pretending to be gay.

''Our goal is to push boundaries and blur lines,'' says coexecutive
producer Douglas Ross. ''We wanted to challenge stereotypes.'' And offer
a tried-and-true incentive: If a straight man is chosen, he'll get cash;
if it's a gay man, the couple is off to an exotic locale. (Only viewers
will know who's gay and who's not.)

Despite its forward-thinking premise, Ross and Bravo president Jeff
Gaspin know that some gay viewers will be watching this ''Boy'' closely.
''Shows like this are intriguing -- and controversial -- because they
can either break stereotypes, or they can confirm them,'' says Gaspin.
''We'll treat these men no differently than women were treated on 'The
Bachelor.''' Wait -- is that a good thing?
