If you haven’t already heard, this is the most controversial reality TV show ever. The premise starts off innocently (and unoriginally) enough. 6 guys, 1 girl, who will she choose? Now this girl is the typical Latino beauty. She even has the accent to go with it. Some say she looks like J. Lo. And of course all the guys want her.There’s just one problem. She’s a man. Miriam is a transsexual. She/He is on hormones, but she/he also has male genitalia. Why is it that the Brits are the ones who keep coming up with all these weird shows? They started Big Brother, Pop Idol… you get the idea.
Not surprisingly, the 6 guys flipped when they were finally told the truth. They sued the producers and wanted the show banned, but it was settled out of court when they were paid 305,000 pounds each, or something to that amount. (I would personally have asked for more). You know how these shows are like, there’s lots of physical contact, affection, kissing… I can see all the guys freaking out already.
Being girls however, my sister and I aren’t as grossed out as I imagine the guys would be (I don’t know why girls just don’t have the same violent response to male-male erm… physical love and affection). But we do have one question: How does she/he wear all those short, tight skirts with her/his… you know, manhood?
