It's about time we get a male model search. Thank you Bravo.

From the Hollywood Reporter...

Attention all aspiring male supermodels: Bravo is on a "Manhunt." The cable network has ordered eight one-hour episodes of "Manhunt: The Search for America's Most Gorgeous Male Model" for the fall. Fifteen unsuspecting hunks will be plucked from obscurity to compete for a one-year contract from international modeling agency IMG. From IMG television arm TWI, the series will be produced by Stuart Krasnow ("Average Joe"). Similar in format to the UPN hit "America's Next Top Model," "Manhunt" chronicles how the amateur models cope with the rigors of living life from the runways to the road. Bravo president Lauren Zalaznick sees "Manhunt" fitting in right alongside the network's other fashion-conscious shows, including "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" and "Project Runway." "This explores the flip side of those laddie magazines," she said. "This is more in the GQ/Esquire territory. It's a competition for males that women will really love, too."

Dang. When I saw the title, I was expecting a TV Version of the extremely violent video game.

I'm so in for this show.
Bring on the beefcake!

cronox5, you're not the only confused one. I thought someone had made a thread for the contoversial and craptacular reality show from about 4 years ago.

Christ on a cracker, of course I'll be tuning into this show! Although, since my taste in male models is quite picky (those with any sort of length to their hair need not apply, no Kate Moss wispyness, etc.), I'll be curious how many of them I actually end up finding attractive.

The drama, however, should be lovely.

Ho-lee crap! I'm so in. I wonder when it starts?

If this is going to be anything like the Mister Venezuela male beauty pageant, I'm in. I caught it on one of the Spanish-language channels a couple of years ago, and I'm desperate to know if it's still run.

Mister Venezuela even had the men, wearing nothing but tight spandex pants, doing a choreographed number.
