Hot Slut Of The Day!
Robby LaRiviere from Logo’s Finding Prince Charming!
After what felt like weeks of ESCANDALO stories, I thought that last night’s premiere of Logo’s “gay Bachelor” show Finding Prince Charming was going to be filled to the top with drama, messiness and fighting. But they should’ve called it Finding A Pulse, because it was like watching security camera footage from a morgue full of pretty people, or mannequins in a mannequin factory. The Prince Charming (NSFW rent boy turned interior designer Robert Sepulveda) is so lifeless and wooden, and so are most of the contestants. There was no major fight! There was no drunken vomiting in the pool! There was no making out! There was no scheming! No one ate a sweet potato (not a euphemism)! Maybe everyone involved was on their best behavior and held back because they didn’t want to look “bad.” It’s trashy reality TV. Your job is to look bad. It’s what the people want!
BUT there was one bright shining spot…
Robby is an “on-air beauty expert” and he’s a mash-up of Kurt from Glee and Carson Kressley in the body of Danny Pintauro. When Robby walked into the house, the first thing he said to the other contestants was, “Let’s get this party started, bitches,” and then he cheek-kissed all of them. I thought, finally, someone is bringing life into this dullness. I also figured that Robby being Robby would cause conflict since some of the other dudes look like they put “masc only” on their Grindr profiles. There was one little scene between Robby and one of the other dudes, Sam. Robby called Sam “Mary” and made fun of his suit. Sam hit back with, “Fix your dress!” Sam said in his confessional that he’s never met anyone like Robby (translation: he’s never much such a FLAME-FLAMING NELLY FLAMING QUEEN!!!). I perked up during Sam and Robby’s tiny tiff, because the whole “no fems” thing is a real issue in the gay community, and I was hoping that they’d argue it out and maybe get somewhere. But instead, they glossed over it and moved on to a scene about spray tanning, or something. Robby and Sam weren’t cut by Prince Charmless, so maybe they’ll explore that later.
Robby sprinkled shards of entertainment throughout the 90-minute episode. I couldn’t find many clips starring Robby, but he did post this little bit on Instagram of him sashaying through the door and letting the tricks know that the real star has arrived.
Hopefully in the next episode, the producers realize that Robby is the lone spark in that field of dud wires and make him the Prince Charming!
