"Boy Meets Boy" is American reality television show in which a gay man meets and chooses a mate from a group of 15 potential male suitors. The show was made more novel by the fact that the "leading man" did not know that the mix of suitors included both gay and straight men.cite web |url=http://www.outzonetv.com/Boy_Meets_Boy/about/index.shtml |title=OutZone > Boy Meets Boy > About the Show |accessdate=2007-11-16 |work=Bravo Company ]

The show premiered July 29, 2003 on the Bravo cable television, spanning six episodes in over six weeks. The show was taped in Palm Springs, California and hosted by Dani Behr.

Premise

The show featured a gay man named James Getzlaff selecting another man to date from among a group of 15 potential suitors, known as "mates." Helping him choose was his best friend Andra Stasko. The "controversial" twist was that some of the housemates were gay, while others were straight. James was not told of this fact until nearly the end of the series' run, and the gay mates were never informed. If James' final choice from among the mates was gay, James and the mate would win a cash prize and a trip for two to New Zealand. If James chose a straight mate, James would win nothing and the mate would win $25,000. The producers managed to keep a mixture of gay and straight men in the house despite the eliminations by putting the men into "groups" that prevented the contestant from eliminating all of the gay men or all of the straight men. At the end of each episode, after they were eliminated, the sexual orientation of each of the eliminated mates was revealed to viewers.
