What a surprise this was!  I started watching “Survivor Gabon” this week.  It’s the 17th series of Survivor… and yes I know I’m way behind.  But I download most of my TV shows now after they are finished.  Anyway, I watched with surprise when I saw muscular hunk pick Charlie to join his team at the beginning of the series, and Charlie run with extreme excitement and hugging Marcus.  Charlie is gay, Marcus is not.  Charlie freely proclaims that he loves Marcus in just about every episode.  And in most scenes where Marcus is doing some you can see Charlie standing by looking on. It’s the sweetest thing I’ve seen in a long… and on mainstream American TV too!   I’m totally drawn in to the story now to see what happens. I can totally see that there’ll be tears before bedtime for Charlie.  Charlie: “I’m having a better time here than I have at home”.  Marcus: “I don’t see a romance delevoping between Charlie and I…. oh yeah… and I’m straight”.
