Boy Meets Boy

I agree with those who argue that gay television can be about entertainment and not have any redeeming value. Of course, in this one, there is the "spot the straight guy" element that lets you play along at home....and so far we've picked most of the straight guys -- and only pegged one guy as straight who turned out to be gay.
So, who do we think the last straight guy is? Franklin -- but we're not willing to bet on it....not without reviewing some of the episodes more closely, should they decide to run a marathon or something.
Here's our reasons:
- James made a comment that everything seems to add up to Franklin being a good match, but that he doesn't feel he could trust him or that everything feels wrong (something like that).
- boy noticed that during a key question/comment by James in last night's one-on-one date, Franklin looked away. body language is usually very telling.
- My theory about the way the eliminations are structures logically points to Franklin. Starting with the second elimination, James had to pick guys to elimate from pre-determined groups of three. I don't think this was just to make it harder for him to choose. I think this is how the producers ensured that at least some straight men made it to the next round. If there are two in a group, only one can be eliminated and one will survive to the next round. Last night, it was groups of two and given that Sean was the straight man eliminated, Franklin would be the straight who wasn't.
Of course, that's just our theory.
