The reality game show that throws down the ultimate gaydar gauntlet, with money at stake for the man who can 'play it straight'.
One gorgeous girl - Zoe from Kent - finds herself in paradise when transported to a Mexican hacienda and presented with 11 drop-dead gorgeous men, all with the aim of winning her heart. But not all of them are who they seem... some of them are straight and some of them are gay. If Zoe picks a straight man at the end, the happy couple will split £100,000 prize money between them; but if a gay guy can play it straight, he'll win the whole £100,000 for himself.
June Sarpong presents the reality game show where one beautiful girl must pick her dream partner from 10 handsome, single men. The twist is that some of the men are gay...
The eight boys play cowboy down at the corral as they try to escape the lasso in order to win a date with Zoe.
With two more boys gone from the hacienda, Zoe gets a chance to see just how rugged the rest are as they set off on horseback to camp under the stars.
Just six men are left standing, but how many of them are playing it straight? More tests take place, to help Zoe and steer her towards the prize.
The penultimate episode in the series with £50,000 up for grabs for Zoe, and the whole £100,000 available to the gay man who can 'play it straight'.
Last in the series of the reality game show that tests one girl's gaydar, with a huge cash prize at stake. After the tensions and revelations of last time, just three men are left.
Eleven boys and one girl arrive in Spain to participate in what they think is a show called Dream Date, until Jameela Jamil reveals that they're actually taking part in Playing It Straight...
Eleven boys compete for the affections of single girl Cara. But Jameela reveals to Cara that, while some of the boys are straight, others are playing it straight and competing for a cash prize...
The boys are given a tour of a Catalan sausage museum and then take part in a cookery contest to secure a date with Cara while the losers face a good old pelting with rotten tomatoes.
The remaining boys face three challenges - laughing Cara into bed, lingerie removal and a kissing challenge - before acting as models as Cara directs a cover shoot for a gay magazine.
The action moves to the gay mecca of Sitges where the locals try to help Cara. Jameela delivers a surprise of two new beefy boys who join the show and then there's a fish-gutting task.
After a trip to the Dali Museum the boys must draw two nude life models, the painter of the best picture wins a date with Cara. And Jameela announces a suprise elimination.
This week is all about camping it up in the Pyrenees as the guys are put through their paces by extreme orienteering, serenading Cara around the campfire, and abseiling down a cliff.
The theme of the semi-final is the 'modern man'. The boys are under pressure to be strong but sensitive and endure a series of challenges before a surprise double elimination.
Jameela Jamil presents a tale of love and deceit in the Spanish sun. One beautiful girl must pick her dream partner from eleven boys. If she gets it right they both walk away with £25k each.
