Meredith Quill February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 A place to discuss particular episodes, arcs and moments from Gigolos. Link to comment
Lady Iris March 14, 2016 Share March 14, 2016 I would want to just hang out with Brace because he's just over the top silly. I'd probably pay for Vin since he seems like the most genuinely attentive date. 1 Link to comment
Muffyn March 18, 2016 Share March 18, 2016 Brace does not seem very bright. Nick seems to hate women. Ash bores me to tears. I could not make it through an evening of his touchy-feely BS. Bradley is even more boring. So Vin is the guy for me. He does seem to really like women and he treats them like people. 1 Link to comment
Muffyn March 18, 2016 Share March 18, 2016 I am embarrassed by how happy I am to see this show back. Brace ready with the profoundly stupid comments. Ash still being mister spiritual. Nick adding more godawful tattoos. He is sooooo deep. I loved the other guys' reactions to Nick's tattoo explanation. And of course he has the see-how-macho-I-am sex scene. I hope they cleaned that mat really well. Vin, oh Vin. My not so little buddy (although in the walking in the desert scene he seemed rather short). Butterface with a heart of gold. So many seasons, still hasn't fixed his snaggletooth. Welcome back, Vin: I've missed you. 1 Link to comment
luckyroll3 March 20, 2016 Share March 20, 2016 Yes! So glad to have Vin back. Loved how concerned he was about hurting his client and then how much he enjoyed it. Butterface with a earth of gold indeed! As usualy, Brace is always full of shit, with his "everyone always complains that I go too deep." Sure Brace. Whatever you say Dude. I was really grossed out about boxing ring sex. All I could think about was all the gallons of other people's sweat soaked into everything. Ugh! I did enjoy seeing the chicken punch and slap Nick though. So glad this show is back!! Link to comment
Lady Iris March 20, 2016 Share March 20, 2016 I gasped when that lady slapped Nick. I think he was shocked too. Still loving Vin. Hooker with a heart of gold. Can we call guys hookers? 1 Link to comment
luckyroll3 March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 Vin is also my favorite. I also kinda liked the dude from the first season who played the didgeridoo all the time, but only because he was absolutely ridiculous and made me laugh. Nick definitely hates women and loves himself way too much. Link to comment
Lady Iris March 23, 2016 Share March 23, 2016 Jimmy was the didgeridoo guy. He drove Nick batshit crazy with that thing which was pretty funny. 1 Link to comment
Muffyn March 25, 2016 Share March 25, 2016 Nick never fails to disappoint wit his "art". First we had his rap. Can anyone forget his brilliant rhymes? Singing about his penis necklace? Now we have his paintings. They are so deep and meaningful. How much did the show pay to have those in a show? Doesn't it seem like these guys are always getting blow jobs? Are we supposed to believe women are paying to give them head? As professionals I believe they are supposed to be able to get it up and keep it up without needing a fluffer. Just me? 1 Link to comment

As professionals I believe they are supposed to be able to get it up and keep it up without needing a fluffer. Even Ron Jeremy needed a fluffer every now & then. And I wouldn't know <wink, wink> but some women actually ENJOY giving head. 1 Link to comment
Muffyn March 26, 2016 Share March 26, 2016 (edited) To expand on this, what I am seeing is a pattern that is typical in porn. That is, kissing, man gets head, man goes down on woman, intercourse in position A, intercourse in position B, . . . . We don't get the external money shot because then it would be XXX. Now, I know this is not real, but for all of the pretending it is and trying to set up supposedly racy, out there kind of dates, they still go right back to this pattern. Brace gets tied up, then <insert sex pattern A>. Vin does SM, then <insert sex pattern A>. I have friends who do porn, both actors and producers, so I know the importance of a good fluffer, but that is done off camera. Obviously there is a camera crew accompanying our cowboys for angels. Yes, there are women who enjoy giving head. And there are women who enjoy getting head. There are also women who don't enjoy these acts. Do they never meet one? That's the way they make it look. So for all of the people who come to gigolos to get something they can't get at home, they seem to keep ending up getting the same thing. And now I have officially taken this silly, throw-away show much too seriously. Back to thinking about Bradley "acting" like he's shocked. Edited March 26, 2016 by Muffyn 1 Link to comment
MsTree March 27, 2016 Share March 27, 2016 I hear ya, Muffyn. I just watch for the entertainment value even if it's repetitive and I'm not learning anything new. LOL!! Link to comment
luckyroll3 March 31, 2016 Share March 31, 2016 Who said this show was about learnin'?!? Lol! This entire episode was pure comedy. From Nick's awful art and the guys trying to name each piece to Brace tied up and rolling around in the bed practicing how he would explain this "ancient Japanese art" all while staring at himself in the ceiling mirror to Brad being "shocked" at the dom stuff.

Lady Iris April 1, 2016 Share April 1, 2016 Sweet Jeebus, this show has had its fair share of cringe worthy moments but last night was just a whole half hour of cringing, save for Bradley's nice and pretty normal date. The younguns visiting their gigolo uncle in Sin City to Ash being embarrassed and awkward about being ogled at a drinking painting party to the 'new guy' tagging along on Nick's date to the single youngun's attempt at scoring chicks <insert Butthead laugh>. That godawful line about 'getting wet' was just stupendously bad. Hey new guy, if you're trying to be a high class gigolo you may want to leave the wifebeater and high tops at home next time. Makes me miss Steven, that guy always looked like a million bucks. 1 Link to comment
Muffyn April 2, 2016 Share April 2, 2016 This was a really bad episode. Wow. Wake me up when it's over. I am embarassed for them. 1 Link to comment
luckyroll3 April 8, 2016 Share April 8, 2016 What was the absolute worst was new guy thinking he would be able to join in on the "fun". Uhm, did yall discuss that ahead of time? Cause you were invited to watch and nothing else, unless the lady chooses to invite you over. Twerp. And I bet Brace was just like his doofus nephew. He's still pretty clueless in his old age. I find it hilarious that he's the cool uncle. Link to comment
iMonrey April 17, 2016 Share April 17, 2016 Why is Bradley back? Last season ended with him quitting the biz and heading on home because he didn't want to do this anymore. Cut to this season and he's back with no explanation. ??? God I felt so sorry for that poor monkey, he was obviously terrified in the beginning there. 1 Link to comment

I wonder if a client has ever fell asleep when he's talking. 1 Link to comment
luckyroll3 April 19, 2016 Share April 19, 2016 Finally got internet hooked up in my house, after 2 loooooong weeks, so I finally caught up. The wrestling match had me laughing so hard, from the point the old lady asked Brace, "The master of what?...Douchebags?" Lol. That and the wrestler flipping right onto Nick's face and almost taking his ass out. And of course, Vin being a great guy and talking his client into thinking over whether she really wanted to cheat on her husband. Could you imagine if she had hired Nick or Brace?? Why is Bradley back? Last season ended with him quitting the biz and heading on home because he didn't want to do this anymore. Cut to this season and he's back with no explanation. ??? God I felt so sorry for that poor monkey, he was obviously terrified in the beginning there. But terrified only of Brace! He seemed to love everyone else. That monkey hated Brace. Lol! What was that outfit Nick was wearing when he visited the burlesque chicl? He looked like a biker Robin Hood. The chick who had the date with Vin, and left the front door open, was acting like she'd never been with a relatively good looking guy before ever in her life. And Ash when he was posing for those pictures....hawt! Link to comment

Cut to this season and he's back with no explanation. ??? I remember some season ending with Nick going all ga-ga for a girl, typing out some sort of love letter to her. Nothing ever came of that either. And of course, Vin being a great guy and talking his client into thinking over whether she really wanted to cheat on her husband. Could you imagine if she had hired Nick or Brace?? And Ash when he was posing for those pictures....hawt! Vin, He's grown on me so much since the first season. He genuinely seems like a decent guy. And poor Ash, I felt bad for him, that's the first time I seen him feel like he was a bit awkward with his situation. Loved Brace in the wrestling episode. What a great sport to play it up the way he did plus I thought he was funny as hell. 1 Link to comment
luckyroll3 April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 Ash was also super uncomfortable/embarrassed when he posed for the painters, which was surprising given his line of work. Link to comment
iMonrey April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 They made an issue of it when both Jimmy and Steven left - they gave their reasons for it and that was that. It's strange that Season 5 ended with Bradley saying goodbye to the gigolo lifestyle/job and driving away in his car only to have him back with no explanation. I mean - obviously this show isn't high art, but the one thing that keeps it more or less engaging is the interaction between the guys and their relationships with one another. Bradley had this whole story arc last season about coming from a conservative, religious family, and his brother came to Vegas to visit him and disapproved of his life and by the end of the season it seemed like it had finally eaten away at him so he quit and decided to go back home. Where's the follow-up to that? Did his family reject him and throw him back to the wolves? Of all of them he's definitely got the least personality so he needs some kind of "hook." The fact that they haven't addressed this sort of reinforces the impression that none of these guys are really gigolos, they're just actors hired to play roles on this show and somewhere a storyline thread was dropped.

luckyroll3 May 3, 2016 Share May 3, 2016 Of course Nick wants to insure his penis for a million dollars! I was surprised that he only goes on 8-10 "dates" a month. That seems low for a gigolo. Also, why was his porn start date wearing underwear during their sex scene?? I love Vin, but he's getting a bit chunky. I need my butterface's to keep their bodies tight, otherwise, what else is there to look at? Link to comment
MsTree May 9, 2016 Share May 9, 2016 Great transition for Brace to still be one of the guys. Congrats Brace! Link to comment
iMonrey May 9, 2016 Share May 9, 2016 Hmm, I'm not sure what's really going on here. Granted, Brace may in fact be getting too old for this and is looking for a more normal relationship, but I'm not sure many potential romantic partners would see the distinction between working for an escort service and running one. I think this is more a case of the producers of this show deciding Brace is a little too old to be playing a Gigolo on TV. At this point I'm not sure I believe any of these guys are really Gigolos. 1 Link to comment
luckyroll3 May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 I wonder why Garret wasn't at the roast? The roast was so cheesy with all the bad jokes and the audience who clearly weren't family or friends. I chuckled when they revealed at the end that they want Brace to "run" the Vegas division. He'll run that shit right into the ground. He just isn't very bright. At all. The look the hypnotist gave him when he started talking shit was beyond priceless. Ash is so hot....until he takes down his hair, then he starts grossing me out. Link to comment
MsTree May 10, 2016 Share May 10, 2016 ^^^^ I totally agree with what you guys are saying about Brace, but short of firing him from the show, they gave him the role of "fronting" for Garret in LV. Whether the whole scenario is real or not, at least he's not out of a job. Link to comment
iMonrey May 11, 2016 Share May 11, 2016 Garret was at the roast, there was a brief shot of him in the audience. Link to comment
Muffyn May 15, 2016 Share May 15, 2016 Catching up on a few episodes. Brace is profoundly stupid and socially inept so yeah he's running a business. I do enjoy how the show constantly shows Nick as a fool. He had no sense of humor at the roast and couldn't tell a decent joke. At least we will be saved from watching Brace doing the sex. Of course now I'llthink of him as the guy with his wig on backwards. Things not insured for $1 million - Nick's penis. 2 Link to comment
MCMLXXVII January 17, 2017 Share January 17, 2017 (edited) I'm catching up on this (currently on season 3) since I got the Showtime app and had started following Ash on FB since a friend posted some sex lessons video of him awhile back, and it finally dawned on me that Vin reminds me of NJ Senator Cory Booker more than Vin Diesel.

Sad story overall, but the author clearly had a goal of painting Ash in as poor a light as possible. I found the framing of the murder as "intimate partner violence" weird when from what they described it sounds more like it was drug induced and when he came out of it and realized what had happened, he tried to clean up and revive her. Loved all the quotes from Vin. He's always been my favorite because he seemed the most grounded despite being a gigolo. 2 Link to comment
MCMLXXVII September 22, 2022 Share September 22, 2022 (edited) Former ‘Gigolos’ star sentenced to prison for beating woman to death This is from 10 months ago, but now that Showtime has a series based on “American Gigolo” the movie I thought how weirdly “life imitates art” this case is.
