Excellent post Abe, but I must correct you lest people start thinking MikeR is a thief. It was never said that MikeR stole $300 from Josh. What was said was that MikeR gave Josh only $300 of the promised funds he was going to turn over to him as payment for the damages to the four wheeler owned by Josh. Other than that I largely agree with your assessment - Jason
Thank you Jason, for correcting that misconception....based on the storyline being presented, but please remember that it is just a storyline, not reality.
When I was growing up, my grandfather had an apartment in our house. When I used to visit him, both he and his elderly sister used to love to watch wrestling on TV on their black and white set, and both grandpa and particularly his older sister would shout at the TV and get very pissed off at one wrestler or another for their antics in the ring. I believe that Bruno Sammartino was one of the stars of that era. Of course the WWF became huge in the 1990's and many of the guy's who used to work with me in those days were totally wrapped up in Stone Cold, and The Rock. Many of the young males at work would discuss the previous night's action, as if it was a real sporting event.
Many of the scenes on
Broke Straight Boys, like WWF of the 1990's and the earlier days of Bruno Sammartino and Antonio Rocco are presented for our entertainment.
Broke Straight Boys is presented in a "reality" setting, but the exact stories that these guys tell are often just that, a story. And based on reports on this forum by folks who claim to have knowledge of the inner workings of
Broke Straight Boys have posted that the amounts of money bantered about during the scenes, are often not the real amounts that they are paid. Just like the recent trilogy where young Dylan supposedly paid the models out of his own pocket to have sex with them for the site. These are storylines presented for our entertainment, not reality.
Therefore I'm firmly convinced that the restitutions that Mike was to pay Josh for the damage to the four wheeler, was an example of David interviewing the models, and coming up with a plausible story to fit in with the reality of Josh's foot being in a walking cast. Perhaps MikeR and Josh are old friends from back home, who raced together on the dirt roads, and perhaps not.
Our introduction to Tyler was set at the Miami car show where David "just happened" to run into model Aiden, and a young man named Tyler walked over to check out the same car as David and Aiden, and as they talked, they convinced Tyler to go to the studio to shoot a gay porn scene.
There have been other scenes where an experienced model brought a "friend from back home" to make some money on the futon, and in later scenes, admit that they really didn't know that guy from "back home". I'm not complaining about the fantasy scenes set up by David. That is his job as the director of the episodes, to give us hot guys in hot situations that often approximate a reality that the model's have gone through in "real life". But keep in mind that this is "reel life" and not "real life".
I'm just trying to say that if you hate the performance's that Mike R has been giving on screen, say that, but don't accuse the model of actually "stealing" or withholding funds from another model, based on the storyline of the vignette that we are watching. That is like thinking that an actor in a movie is truly the character he is portraying.
I can see that Mike is going to be "ripped" in the forum reviews while Mark rolls out the remaining footage that he has of him. I don't see a great change in Mike from his early performance's through the latest. He is still a "goofy kid" who is a stoner and loves to smile and make his friend's laugh with him. He still considers himself straight, but has expanded his sexual experiences since working for D&E. He usually stares at his partner's dick while jerking himself off, and has become a pretty good cocksucker himself. He really gets into topping as he goes into his sexual zone. And watching a MikeR cum shoot is a thing of beauty, and he worked his magic dick in this episode to help drench Josh with his load.
Mike R has said from the beginning that he is a straight kid who is very open minded about gays and gay sex. He even told us a true story on the forum, of a gay kid from back home who fell in love with him. But Mike will not kiss a guy and will not bottom on screen. David insisted that he needed to "reinvent" himself to continue, and he choose not to and left the studio. End of story.
Mike did not impose himself into this scene with the intention of ruining what could have been another loving kissing passionate scene between Shane and Josh, if that was what you all wanted to see. But don't blame Mike. Blame David for miscasting the scene if you like.
You all have as much right to rip Mike, as I have to defend him. But I still see a very good looking kid who has the kind of face, body, and cock that really turns me on. And I enjoy his goofy ways and his smile and his jokes, and his geyser like cum shots too.
), the highly controversial new Mike, Josh & Shane scene still has a 4.4 rating. While I still question the validity of these ratings myself, it is the only way we have to judge the popularity of scenes. Therefore the overall voting memebrship of
