On the Make Me a Supermodel reunion last night, beloved non-couple Ronnie and Ben (apparently they're called "Bronnie?" I refuse to accept this) were interrogated about their "will they or won't they, oh they're totally not going to" relationship, to the squiggly embarrassment of the show's two viewers (me and roommate Rose). Yes, gay Ronnie did have a crush on straight prison guard (and increasingly petulant asshole) Ben, but it faded away very quickly. He falls in love all the time! With boys on the street, with ski bunnies, with anyone! According to reunion host (and gay Bravo TV exec) Andy Cohen, this wandering eye, puppy love stuff makes giddy little Ronnie "a good gay." Ugh. Maybe true! But, ugh. A video excerpt of the awkward, squirmy reunion after the jump (watch the first minute and a half or so for the Bronnie stuff). Oh! Also a fun bonus video.

Wolfing down a couple of bronnies would make any asshole petulant.
This has been the gayest Gawker week ever.
I was so much more into Perry and Casey.
@SnarkTwain: So far.
When did Gawker become Details magazine?
Or has this week just been an attempt to combat the heteronormalcy of The Tudors ads?
Gay guy seemed normal about it. Straight guy is not so secretly milking it. Andy Cohen is fondling himself the whole time. Seems to be Bravo business as usual.
I watched for 20 squirms. Thanks for the rewind.
Richard, I was reading your text too quickly and thought you were refering to Andy Cohen as "this wandering eye."
Of course, that's not inaccurate even if unintentional. They're both quite wonky.
His eyes, that is.
@Elektra:
He's also a leering twit, just by the way.
Aww..nice gays finish last. No more Mr. Nice Gay!
@Elektra: Funny. Yes, his wonky-eyes are quite an unusual trait in a TV host; guess being an SVP helped in his "audition" more than his ability to look squarely into one camera at a time.
@dweeb: "Or has this week just been an attempt to combat the heteronormalcy of The Tudors ads?"
I can only assume that "heteronormalcy" and Jonathan Rhys Meyers used in the same context is meant to be ironic.
Is there a way to be a good straight? No toe-tapping?
@I'm Waitin' for Dolemite: Speaking of which, I still contend that his best role was in "Velvet Goldmine".
@Conbon:
simply proclaim "i fuck mad bitches" while putting enough gel in your hair to turn it into a deadly weapon or look like you belong on dragon ball z.
That still image is like softcore art on the cover of a gay romance novel, except their clothes really suck and there's no Morrissey playing in the background.
@mitchel_stevens: Then I don't think I want to be a good straight. Can I be a fair-to-middling straight?
@Conbon:
of course.
all a fair-to-middling straight needs is charm, charisma and a winning personality.
bad straights just want to blow their money on booze and themselves. which is where i gladly stay.
@mitchel_stevens: So I guess I'm a bad straight. I thought I was just "single".
@downlow:
no, it provides more time for important things: like drinking and getting the highest score on newgrounds.
@BettyCrocker: I am still turned on by that scene!
Swear to G-d!!
@DorothyMantooth: Neither one of them are even my type (Hellooooo, John Cena!), but together, they burned up the screen.
I thought they were both great. Maybe I'm a simpleton, but I believe these guys are really good friends. Also, the girl should totally win.
It's like a good porn waiting to happen. A "straight" prison guard; your all-American beefcake (cause he is a little beefy). It really just writes itself...
@Conbon: You're not fooling anyone, pal.
@Lonesome_George: You're awesome.
The Ronnie kid is cute. The other one, not so much.
wait wait wait. is NO ONE going to comment on the word "bromance"?
Well, that got me semi-hard.
Can anyone verify that the term "Bronnie" existed before Bravo printed up the t-shirts?
A t-shirt purchased by my girlfriend.
They forgot the part about the dashing wardrobe and cunning acerbic wit.
