Transamerican Love Story news/blog roundup
In “I Love the Nightlife,” episode 4 of Transamerican Love Story, Calpernia invites the bachelors to her favorite LGBT nightclub to watch her perform a sexy burlesque dance to “Stunning.” Then the guys are challenged to follow suit, to bump and grind for her and an audience of club kids and fabulous judges.
OK, so Calpernia eliminated Peter after learning at their one-on-one date that he gets even more chatty when drunk. I was pushing for her to ditch Mark because he wouldn’t do the challenge like everyone else and for being a general ass, but in her defense, we didn’t know how mean Mark was being to everyone when we weren’t around.
Mike usually doesn’t do much for me, but he was undeniably fantastic performing at the club. He moved way up in my book!

Heh, yeah, in the first couple of episodes I shot a few looks like those (at Blaine about the porno thing and at Barry about the craptacular dinner). Mark was seriously pissed though, so I held back in that scene and tried to be diplomatic. Mainly because I was half lit by then, and because I wanted him to do something at least. He did not disappoint.
I cringed all the way through Mark’s “spitting rage ensemble”, but at least he managed to pull out a last-second performance. That HAD to be difficult for him. He is a person who has obviously been the subject of much teasing and ridicule as a youngster. What else could explain his compulsion to attack first and keep his ego so stratospherically inflated? Props to Nadia for capturing THE LOOK. Andrea, that gaze could melt lead… ay caramba!
Peter was a bit of a surprise, but expected. I thought Mark would go next but clearly his presence is good for the ratings. So the new predictions are:
Jim goes next. He’s an awesome guy, but I don’t see the chemistry so why torment him any further? Then Mark. Then the inevitable Shawn vs. Mike faceoff with Mike for the win. “We’re going to have a good life together…”, WOW! That boy is *smitten*!
Thanks for keeping us guessing. I can’t wait for the next episode.
