So I must say when I first heard of the Real Friends of WeHo (West Hollywood) I was a little hesitant as I thought it would just be another duplication of all the reality shows that we already have but the difference would be that instead of successful women it would be a group of successful gay men. That should have been the indicator that I had gathered the wrong conclusion of the show before even watching it, which is something that we all do especially on social media.
Boy was I wrong, the show is the type of reality content
that I have been praying for, it is basically Real Housewives (which I adore) with
just members of my community. The biggest standout factor for from the show was
the diversity of its cast. The show featured members of the LGBTQIA who are
white, black and latin.
Members of the cast are:
 |
| Curtis Hamilton |
 |
| Dorion Renaud |
 |
| Jaymes Vaughn |
 |
| Joey Zauzig |
 |
| Todrick Hall |
 |
| Brad Goreski |
The second aspect of
the pilot episode that blew my mind was the fact that during their
confessionals the producers actually asked the cast why they agreed to do the
show and their motivations were pretty strong. I admire the fact that the cast
recognizes that they are shooting a reality show and not living their lives in
front of the camera like its an everyday thing which unfortunately is what I
have seen with the Real Housewives franchises.
I look forward to seeing what the rest of the season will
bring. I do hope that it will expand to the parts of the USA and who knows
maybe we can get a South African alternative, well it is okay to dream.
