What James doesn't know is that some of these bachelors aren't exactly "eligible," that is, some are straight (the show's producers are being coy on exactly how many, hinting that the number is more than one and maybe as many as half).
This may seem like a queer rehashing of standard reality TV fare, but Bravo's president Jeff Gaspin calls Boy Meets Boy a "social experiment" that will bridge the gap between gay and straight.
After meeting his potential suitors in the premiere episode, James marvels at the "amazing cross-section." But these contenders are all Abercrombie & Fitch types, each sporting the same sleeveless t-shirts wardrobes and heavily gelled hairdos.

Each of its two new gay-themed shows, “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” (which debuted earlier this month to record ratings for the network and is now repeating in condensed form on NBC) and “Boy Meets Boy” (premiering tonight at 9 p.m.), make straight men central to the proceedings.
But with “Boy Meets Boy,” the straight men are there to keep the show from being just a gay version of “The Bachelor.” They’re the nasty twist, the Joe-Millionaire-is-really-dirt-poor hook that makes the show vastly more entertaining while throwing its arms open to straight viewers.
The premise, if you haven’t heard by now, is this: James, a 32-year-old benefits administrator at a law firm — and, more to the point, a total hottie — must choose from a group of 15 suitors.
