					<description><![CDATA[Old Queens. Honestly..... there is not one single HOT guy in the Mr Gay S.A pageant this year and it&#039;s not that we lack the talent.... i bet you this whole thing is rigged or maybe its all about how well you can lick an organizer&#039;s ass or how popular you are in the gay clubbing scene~ and yet, the sheep flock to watch and support it, makes me sick!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I so totally agree, what I would like to know is just who are these so called judges.. what are there credentials if any.. where did they crawl out and in who`s pie they had there fingers.. since when do you drive after where the so called ...pageants are being held and not one from that area ie: Durban are actually finalists but the ones you drove down from JHB are first second and third place ``WTF``.. nothing uglier than a skeleton with a smile let alone anorexic cases with underpants on... so the bodies are not there nor can the brains `cause no`one with any would parade in the same underpants pageant in pageant out and then create a blog under false names to promote yourself.. it`s a farce for old Queens that can`t get any.. sure you understand my underlying.......??? do me and I`ll do you....... what a fucking joke!!! I totally get it and agree! This is a fucking joke! especially the &quot;fly-inn&quot; contestants! WTF! The skinny skeleton underwear models, SCARY! Isn&#039;t our Mr. Gay S.A supposed to be some sort of &quot;Idol&quot; to us. I actually know a couple of these fi...nalists and i&#039;ll tell you, they represent nothing that i want or want to be. All i see in them is young desperate, ugly, attention seeking gay boys - isn&#039;t that why we&#039;ve got these predictable gay clubs ruled by men in dresses wearing feathers for undies thinking i&#039;m the queen of god knows what?? Go play on your own turf, you&#039;re mocking the rest of us! this is exactly what they do, I raised this with some of the organisers and was brushed of with ``IT IS ABOUT BRAINS`` lmfao brains where the fuck are the brains anyone with brains will know that someone else with brains will not fall for the no brain setup you don`t drive your little boys from town to town to compete... and then actually elect them as 123 etc`... I think if the sponsors has to get hold of this some heads will roll... these little Queens with there sashes are nothing but ........!!!&lt;br&gt; Queens have there little do`s in the clubs.. and they wear there crowns accordingly.. someone that`s gonna go out to represent the gay community should be just that a Idol... not someone that is as big a joke as the one`s that organised the big joke... pls don`t say you are representing the gay community, ``WHO GAVE YOU THE OUTHORITY TO DO THAT``.... ????.... HAVE YOUR LITTLE DO`S AND LEAVE THE GAY COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE OUT OF THIS, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT!!!&lt;br&gt;Hahaha luckily i&#039;m not friends with any of them, but i guess i should still refrain from mentioning names. Maybe i should just publish this and change our names to Adam and Steve. I guess my point was made, well at least to you. Maybe when ...we&#039;re old,fat &#038; desperate one day, we should start our own little thing, we can call it queers of the past or something....... maybe then....we would totally get this whole thing and even think that we&#039;ve done such a great job bullshitting people and think it&#039;s all been worth it - AT LEAST NOW WE&#039;RE GETTING LAID!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Too many. I believe there are too many pageants - there has to be one national committee deciding how the structure works, you have one national competition and various clubs where you can also qualify as a finalist for Mr. GSA. I recently enetered into a competition where after other people found out, told me that &quot;i must sleep with somebody&quot; and if i have a boyfriend,i will never make it. I was quite shocked and will make my own assumption when participating. Competition is always good but the rules must be transparent right trough a competition !]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Distinction between clubs and Mr Gay SA. I think there must be a fine line drawn between local club pageants and a national competition like Mr. Gay SA. Clubs maybe be rigged, but I don&#039;t think Mr Gay SA can be. The judges like Mamba&#039;s own editor and people like the international judges like year and not likely to be influenced by the organizers.]]></description>

Agreed, but .... I don&#039;t think the writer actually meant Mr. Gay SA, he had it in for club pageants? He ends off by saying it is actually a positive thing?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mr Gay South Africa. I am sure you have the right to think what you want to, but when you don&#146;t know what is actually going on, it pretty pointless to think then isn&#039;t it?! Charl won Mr. Gay World and no one can really say that they have tried achieving that goal! He is now well known and he deserves it 100%. The pageant is VERY well run and I must say, comparing to the Mr. South Africa last year, Mr. Gay South Africa pageant was 200% better and more professional! So for someone like you whom doesn&#146;t really know what is going on in the gay community, please do shut your mouth as it is pointless to hear YOU say something. What has Mr. South Africa really done? Another funny thing, if you say this is so bad, why was the venue last year fully filled with 1200 people??? I rest my case!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mr Gay SA. I think Mr Gay SA is just fabulous, bring it on! Why can&#039;t we celebrate our gorgeous and friendly hunks? I really don&#039;t care if they actually do go out and nurse babies, good if they do - but I am honest - I want to see them in their underwear first!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[And U Mr Le Roux?. U say: &quot;I&#039;ve always suspected that the idea must have once been conceived by a group of old queens sitting around debating how they could get to check out some tight, young, gay ass.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are not exactly a spring chicken yourself, are you? lol!]]></description>
