Gay, Straight or Taken? Season 1 Episode 2 Artsy Girl Seeks Witty Guy

Gay, Straight or Taken? is an American reality television series which aired in 2007 on the Lifetime Network. The show follows one woman as she goes on dates with three men, one of whom is gay, one of whom is taken, and one of whom is straight and available. The twist is that the woman does not know the men's identities, and must guess which one is gay, which one is taken, and which one is straight.

In season 1 episode 2, entitled "Artsy Girl Seeks Witty Guy," the woman in question is a twenty-five-year-old artist named Jess. Jess describes herself as "a creative spirit" who enjoys painting, sculpting, and writing. She is looking for a man who shares her artistic sensibilities, but who also has a sense of humor and can keep up with her quick wit.

Jess's three potential suitors are introduced one by one. The first man is named Josh, and he is a thirty-year-old writer who has published several short stories and is working on a novel. He describes himself as "quirky" and "offbeat," and tells Jess that he likes to write about fantastical creatures and alternate universes. Jess is immediately attracted to Josh's creativity and sense of whimsy.

The second man is named Alex, and he is a twenty-eight-year-old graphic designer who works for a small advertising agency. He describes himself as "a pop culture junkie" who loves classic movies, comics, and video games. He tells Jess that he enjoys designing posters and logos for local bands, and that he also plays guitar in a garage band. Jess is intrigued by Alex's passion for pop culture, but wonders if he might be too much of a geek for her.

The third man is named Mike, and he is a thirty-two-year-old doctor who specializes in oncology. He describes himself as "a sensitive guy" who enjoys hiking, yoga, and meditation. He tells Jess that he became a doctor because he wanted to help people, and that he finds it deeply rewarding to be able to make a difference in his patients' lives. Jess is impressed by Mike's kindness and compassion, but wonders if he might be too serious and uncreative for her.

Jess spends time with each of the three men, going on dates and engaging in various activities. With Josh, she visits a used bookstore and discovers their shared love of science fiction and fantasy literature. With Alex, she goes to a retro arcade and plays classic games like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. With Mike, she joins him for a yoga class and they bond over their mutual love of nature and the outdoors.

As Jess spends more time with each of the men, she begins to develop strong feelings for all three of them. She enjoys Josh's playful sense of humor, Alex's geeky charm, and Mike's thoughtful nature. However, she also begins to notice certain clues that might indicate which one is gay, which one is taken, and which one is straight. She observes their body language, listens to their answers to personal questions, and tries to gauge their level of interest in her.

In the end, Jess must make a choice about which man she thinks is the best match for her. Will she choose Josh, the quirky writer who shares her love of science fiction? Will she choose Alex, the pop culture junkie who makes her laugh with his witty banter? Or will she choose Mike, the sensitive doctor who touches her heart with his caring nature? Only time will tell which man is gay, which man is taken, and which man is straight.
