Flame Princess April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 As someone who's actually from Mobile, yes, that town has a lot of bigots. But it also has a thriving gay community, and it's where I saw my first drag show. So I won't fault them for editing things like it's a backwater, because acceptance and tolerance don't exactly make for compelling TV. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25607-the-prancing-elites-project-general-discussion/#findComment-1064442

bilgistic April 23, 2015 Share April 23, 2015 Well, hmm. I watched it and actually got a little misty at the appropriate moments. However and despite my being a former high school dance team member, I didn't love it. All the stuff with Suzanne seemed completely unnecessary. That parade business was clearly staged. They couldn't walk in the parade, but there was a lane in the road cleared for them (behind the parade watchers??)? Since when do people stand in the road to watch a parade? As with all "reality" shows, it was manufactured DRAHHH-MAHHH!! and I generally avoid that. It seriously exhausts me.

Silly Angel April 24, 2015 Share April 24, 2015 Thanks! Adrian may be dumb as dirt, but he has the biggest heart. That was both hard to watch and so uplifting. It looks as if this season will be dramatic as hayell. Make me not miss Breaking Pointe so much...

April Bloodgate April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 I haven't watched episode 2 yet, but from the first episode my favorite is Jerel. Which is surprising because they described him as the bitchy one, and I never like bitchy "characters". We'll see how I feel later in the season. Tim is my second favorite.

April Bloodgate April 30, 2015 Share April 30, 2015 It's hard to watch the parts where they're treated like shit, and I wish they wouldn't manufacture any more of it than what would already happen to them without producer intervention. I work for an LGBT foundation that is funding heavily in the South to fight for equal treatment, so I know that there is some truth to the way they are treated (and that would absolutely happen in Midwestern small towns, where I grew up, too), but the producers are clearly manufacturing more situations in which people can treat them this way. I'm hoping we can get greater focus on getting to know they're personalities and seeing them dance in the next episode.

friendperidot May 3, 2015 Share May 3, 2015 (edited) this is a show? I saw it in late night listings and I thought it was an infomercial. Edited to explain - several years ago, there was a viral video that was joked about all over the place, a woman was showing her method of exercise - prancing. So when I saw this show in the listings, I thought she had made an infomercial.

Dirtybubble May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 So is this show worth watching or not? I keep forgetting it's on but I was thinking of setting my DVR to record all the episodes so far....but from the lack of discussion going on here I kinda think that maybe it's no good (?)

April Bloodgate May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 I'm still watching. I think it's good as far as non-competition reality TV goes, but I know that's not saying much. It's maybe not great overall in terms of "plot", but there are a lot of really great, funny moments each episode. I really enjoy Tim and Jerel.

Dirtybubble June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 This show is ok but it seems a bit....dated. I think it would have been a really good show 5 or 10 years ago but now IDK it just seems like we've been over this subject matter quite a few times and I've seen these personalities more than once. Yeah the guys are entertaining and prejudice still exists in small, southern, rural towns but it just seems like the show is trying too hard to create a storyline. *shrug* Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25607-the-prancing-elites-project-general-discussion/#findComment-1225660

scruffy73 July 10, 2015 Share July 10, 2015 I just got into the show and I love it. These guys and Tim make me laugh and cry. I was in here crying with Kareem when he discussed his diagnosis like he was my cousin or something. I really like Kentrell and Jerel. I actually like all of them but I would want to slap Tim and Adrian after about 20 minutes. Too much! But Adrian's makeup is on point.

scruffy73 July 10, 2015 Share July 10, 2015 I like them all. Jerel makes me laugh so much that I look forward to seeing him. Adrian makes me laugh bc he is so dumb but so kind. Kentrell is the adult and I feel his pain. Tim is so sweet. I am wondering about her voice though. Has she taken some kind of hormones to make her voice do that or is she putting on? It took me a minute to warm to Kareem bc he doesn't talk much but I wanted to go to Mobile to love on him when he found out about his HIV. Lord that almost took me out. I cried with them. I would love to spend the day with them as a group but only Kentrell and maybe Kareem alone for a long period of time Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/25607-the-prancing-elites-project-general-discussion/#findComment-1312378
