Episode 8: The Naked Finale

January 23, 2007

It's grand finale time on “Manhunt” and down to jungle boy Jon Johnson and city gay Rob W., both of whom would make a worthy winner.

Early in this final episode Kevin Peak comes clean to the top ten guys about being an embedded model/judge. The guys react by using a lot of words that have to be bleeped. The look on Tate's face is so priceless it could inspire a cologne: "Dumbfounded, for the man who just doesn't get it."

But before we get to Kevin's big revelation, we have to leave Puerto Rico and get the guys to New York. At one point, their limo passes by a theater where the musical "Caroline of Change" is playing. I half-expected Rob to say, "You can just drop me off here." Instead they go to the Carnegie Deli, where Jon J. refers to his sandwich as a "tower of meat."

Dirt, Dirty, and Dirtiest.

One of the best things about "Manhunt" was that it came out just in time for bloggers to fully exploit their Google skill to embarass the contestants.
Although we love the contestants -- probably too much. Not that that is going to stop us from giving you some of our favorite links.

This is one about Brett, the charming ex-chippendale dancer: "The previously booted Brett is the latest one to be revealed as having strutted his stuff somewhere else besides a catwalk."

Manblogging Episode 6: Wet & Wild

“I’d like to see him nude on a surfboard…surfing naked.”

Thank you, Carmen Electra, for voicing what all of us watching “Manhunt” are thinking; that Hawaiian hottie Jon Johnson needs to show us his man-parts, preferably while surfing.

I think Carmen was married to rock god Dave Navarro when “Manhunt” was shot and therefore unable to act on her affection for the “Manhunt” men. But now, unless those Joan Jett rumors are true, she’s free and single and ready to mingle! I like to imagine Carmen running into one of the guys on a trans-Atlantic flight. She’s in first class, naturally -- he’s in coach. They’d have some champagne, laugh about old times, talk about what a hard-ass Bruce Hulse was, and then bang each other silly in the bathroom.

Hey, a blogger can dream.

Manblogging Episode 5: Hollywood!

“I make Orlando Bloom look like the Wicked Witch of the West.”

This gem of a soundbyte comes from our Keanu-esque surfer boy Jon Johnson a few minutes into episode 5 of “Manhunt”. During a set visit to Access Hollywood, Jon was asked by anchor-babe Shawn Robinson why he should win the big prize and that’s the best he could up with, which proves that narcissistic bullshit bravado doesn’t come naturally to all reality stars. Some folks have to really work at being full of themselves and I, for one, am grateful that Jon J’s not quite there yet.

The guys all seem thrilled to be on the set of Access and hanging out with the Hollywood-skinny Shawn Robinson, but I’m willing to bet that if we could see the guys’ cartoon thought bubbles, at least one of them would be thinking, ‘What, no Nancy O’Dell? Is she too high and mighty for us?’

Matt Lanter, Actor, Rapist, Stud, Cool Dude

January 03, 2007

When it comes to Matt Lanter: one question. Where to begin? On “Manhunt” he’s a top-ten finalist. Not bad for an underage bellboy. The guy is only 23, so maybe he was legal (to drink) during filming, but maybe not. Not that they show him drinking, he’s too busy modeling, being called fat, and otherwise being put through the Manhunt-obstacle course.

But then the holiday break came (and went) and we got some iTunes gift certificates in our stocking. Guess what we did with them. We downloaded “Heroes”, which yes, we know is old news. But we’re slow sometimes.

Anyway: Matt Lanter is a creepy high school rapist!
