Time to adjust you gaydar.
Fox is launching a new dating show with a sexually ambiguous twist.
Premiering March 14, “Playing it Straight” will pit one single woman, her libido and her Sexuality Spidey Senses against 14 bachelors who are either out to win her heart or to trick her.
Daphne Brogdon will host “Straight,” which was shot at the Sizzling Saddles Ranch in Elko, Nev. The series will air at 7 p.m. on Fridays as a lead-in to Fox’s midseason dramedy “Wonderfalls.”
Jackie, a college student from Appleton, Wis., is surrounded by a batch of bucking bachelors. But out of the pool of suitors, only some will actually be available. Jackie and the show’s viewers will know that some of these canoodling cowboys are straight men looking for love–and prize money–but that some are gay men looking for lucre.
She’ll have to rely on her first impressions as well as the usual assortment of group activities and one-on-one dates in order to make a final decision.
If Jackie selects a straight beau, the couple will split a $1 million prize. But if she chooses a masquerading gay mate, he captures the prize alone.
