    Yeah right, omg this is just the worst example of flog bags ever. Compete fail. Just dont bother. And obviously marketed as a way to sneak soft porn onto the screen, not that there is anything wrong with that, but as if it not all a set up and just crappy actors putting on a crappy soft porn production

    Pathetic sketchy prostitutes sharing their pathetic lives. It was disapointing in every way, they tried to make it interesting but it didn't work, if the guys are nasty women are worse.

    This so called "gigolos" spend a lot of their on camera time trying to convince us that what they're doing is really not so bad. It grossed me out!. I stopped watching because it was sad and tiresome. Steven the "struggling father" said: "I'd do anything for my son" after getting laid. He sells himself to support his child, great, why you don't get a real job?.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I caught one of the episodes the other night at a hotel. It was hilarious! Also pathetic, but hilarious in a totally unintentional way. I can believe the men were actual gigolos, but I find it very hard to believe that any of those clients were anything other than porn actors. I have never seen breasts as big as some of those women had in everyday life. They looked completely ridiculous! Also, the guy with the tree tattoo (Nick I believe) trying to rap was beyond bad...it was like Vanilla Ice part 2! That being said, he was nice to look at, as were pretty much all of the gigolos - except that Brace guy. All that tanning and bleached blonde hair and possible botox totally ruined the fact that he had a pretty nice body. Oh, and the girl who played dead was kinda funny too, she was totally limp during the foreplay (no pun intended). LOL I have no problem with people hiring escorts if that is what they want to do, but it doesn't need to be on my TV as a reality show. But, like I said before, it certainly provided some comedy for the night, and based on that and the fact that most of the guys were hot, I can give it a 3.… Expand

    With Gigolos, Showtime takes a topic that should be provocative and turns it into nothing more than "The Real Man Whores of Las Vegas."

    Viewers are supposed to invest in their camaraderie, but there isn't much chemistry or even joie de vivre in the group.

    The real puzzler is how many clients seem completely unabashed about having their preferences and fetishes captured on film--undaunted by paid-for frolicking (between two, or more, consenting adults) with a camera crew in tow. Once you get past that, the series proves reasonably compelling while relying on typical tricks of the trade--a brand of pandering commonly known as "reality TV."
