Possible Correction: There May Be Another Gay Guy

Do any of you read DListed (the few readers that I have)? If you do, you may have seen a small post about Jessie from Big Brother 10.

Is Big Brother's Jessie A Major Homo? Some of the smaller pictures may be NSFW.

After reading this, I thought, it all makes sense. Why else would he be a body builder? Since he's hiding it, he just might feel ashamed and thought, hey, if i'm a big tough strong guy, no one would think otherwise. Now, I'm not saying he should ome out on national television. I'm also not saying that he is gay, just that, if he is, it would make sense, and would be an awesome twist.

Real World: Las Vegas: There wasn't a gay cast members, but apparently a couple of them had a threesome. That's the most interesting thing that happened.

Real World: Paris: One gay member and some other interesting people.

Simon Sherry-Wood, a native of Ireland, Simon lives at home and goes to high school in a small village about an hour outside Dublin. His family's acceptance of his homosexuality has allowed Simon to live an open life, and he has enjoyed the gay scene in Dublin since he was 16. Simon met his Spanish boyfriend on New Year's Eve, a few weeks before moving to Paris. Aware of the temptations of Paris nightlife, Simon plans to stay faithful. A working model with a flair for fashion, he intends to go to college, but has yet to apply to schools because he's unsure about his career goals.

Leah Gillingwater is single and a graduate of the University of Maryland, who aspires to a career in fashion, and enjoys partying, shopping and expensive name brands. She is often the center of attention. Known to be pugnacious, she ends up in fights with most of her roommates. Leah has a cancer scare though, which brings her close to Mallory and the rest of her roommates.

Real World: San Diego: There were no gay cast members this season, but there was some controversy. The cast's residence is a custom-designed, two-story house at 4922 North Harbor Drive in San Diego.

Frankie Abernathy is a certified masseuse and aspiring artist with a number of piercings, and a fondness for punk rock music and Hello Kitty. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. She is a student of spiritual healing who paid for her education by working in a porn shop. Frankie has a phobia of boats, which made the group assignment difficult for her. She leaves the house early, due to conflict with her housemates, and homesickness. Abernathy lost her battle with cystic fibrosis on June 9, 2007 at the age of 25.

A 22-year-old woman claimed she was raped in the Real World house sometime during the night of November 14, 2003 by an acquaintance of Real World cast member Randy Barry, identified in local reports as "Justin", who was staying at the house as a guest.

Real World: Philadelphia: The Philadelphia season is the first with two openly gay men, Karamo Brown and William Hernandez, in the cast. (The first season to have two gay cast members, regardless of sex, was the 2002 Chicago season, although the 1999 Hawaii season featured a bisexual woman and a gay man.) This was the first season to feature an openly gay black male.

Born November 2, 1980, Karamo is an African-American gay man from Houston, who donates much of his time to charities and political causes, which he says are his passion. He is very close to his mother and three older sisters. His upbringing included strong anti-white prejudices and has related feelings about interracial dating. He attended Florida A&M University, where he majored in Business Administration.

Born November 20, 1979, Willie is a gay Puerto Rican American writer/actor with a passion for the arts and performing who works part-time as a personal shopper. His religious parents don't accept his lifestyle, which drove him from home when he was 15. He and his straight twin brother are the oldest of six children who all remain close. He admits to being stubborn and confrontational. As a child, he worked in commercials and musical theater and was a regular on the children's television show Ghostwriter (side note: I LOVED that show!), which promoted literacy for children.

Real World: Austin: The Real World: Austin won "Favorite Season" at the 2008 The Real World Awards Bash.

Real World: Key West: The season was filmed during the busiest Atlantic hurricane season ever; filming was scheduled to start the week Hurricane Katrina made landfall but was delayed as several castmembers were stuck in Miami. Later in the season Hurricanes Rita and Wilma made landfall forcing the cast to evacuate to West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale, respectively. During Hurricane Wilma, the cast was forced to evacuate again, this time to Orlando after the Ft. Lauderdale-area hotel they sought shelter in was damaged by the storm.

Tyler Duckworth, a gay gymnastics and figure skating enthusiast describes himself as "manipulative" and "mischievous". He was at one time on track to becoming a world-class swimming champion. He was devastated when a freak accident shattered his Olympic dreams. Although doctors told him he might never walk again, he proved them wrong. A recent graduate of Tufts University, he must decide what to do with his life.

Real World: Denver: The Denver cast worked for Outward Bound. They were trained on wilderness courses and later guided New Orleans teenagers displaced by Hurricane Katrina in hiking treks.

Born August 10, 1983, Davis Mallory as a typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed frat boy. Davis is a southern conservative Christian, and gay, something he first realized in the sixth grade, though his family was not pleased with his coming out. Being on The Real World represents a major change in his life, as he has long been afraid to show his true self to the world.

Born December 30, 1983, Stephen Nichols is a deeply religious African-American, conservative Republican student at Howard University. He is very ambitious, and outspoken in his views, including his stance against gay marriage.

Real World: Sydney: Cast members were first photographed and identified by the media while participating in a Contiki tour at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park.

Nothing else was really interesting. No gay members.

Real World: Hollywood: MTV aired The Sunny Side of Truth encore special, which features pop-up comments from characters from the Sunny Side of Truth, an anti-tobacco organization. Because a recurring theme of this season involves cast members talking about their struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, the comments often have a drug-abstinence message.




And does anyone remember that game, Heads Down Seven Up? I find it hilarious that the houseguests on Big Brother play that fairly often. They also play porno password and some other clapping, rhythm game. Oh, and chess. Yea, they get bored a lot. They also had a slip 'n slide at one point.
