He spoke in a deep voice, gesticulated with his hands, and, in a twist of events, cheated on her strongest relationship in the house. Some women decided to wear an oversized button-down, or a backwards baseball cap, and one of them created a male character to be her drag persona. The remaining men, all cis, decided to do a clothes swap with the women and went to the prom in stretchy dresses drawn tightly across their pecs, along with a dash of eye-shadow or lipstick. One cis male contestant and the contestant who exclusively uses they/them decided to go in drag, and each put an intricate outfit, layers of makeup, and lots of glitter. I was excited for this episode-I wish I had my own queer prom-and looked forward to seeing how everyone would dress. Many of them express to each other and in interviews their excitement to attend a prom for the first time, or simply in the way they wish they could have when they went in high school, still closeted or rejected by their peers. These various types of gender discrepancies came to light most powerfully in Episode 4, wherein the contestants remaining at the mansion (while six others go on group dates) throw a queer prom. There is not a woman on the show who is not typically slim, classically beautiful, and feminine-presenting.

The other women are quite thin and petite in height, except for the woman with the short hair, who is quite tall. Beyond this, there are only two women who could, in any sense, be classified as “curvy,” and, interestingly, both of them are black women. All the women express themselves in a highly typical, classically feminine manner. There is one woman with a “pixie” hair cut, and she presents in a strongly feminine way that is as far as MTV went to look for a more masculine-presenting, dare I say, tomboy-like woman for the show.

The women, however, are a different story. And one of them has a remarkable head of long hair. The cis men do sometimes walk around in skirts, dresses, or sports bras and play with makeup. The remainder of the contestants are cisgender folks. They are the only one who expressed their preferred pronouns to be only they/them/theirs. In addition, there is another self-identified non-binary person, who is flamboyant in their colorful, patterned, and sequined fashion choices. There is a single trans-masculine contestant, who describes himself as a “queer, trans-masculine, non-binary human” who has pursued “biological transition” and uses both he/him and they/them. Where MTV falls short in this season of Are You the Oneis in the representation of multiple gender identities and expressions in this group of contestants. Having never seen the seasons before this one, I was impressed by this ratio I don’t think of reality dating shows as having the most inclusive diversity policies, as there has been, for example, one black “Bachelorette” in the history of the franchise. And it does so with around a quarter of the contestants being white all other contestants are people of color. It continues the essential aspects of a reality dating show but with queer people, and that is certainly an accomplishment in itself. It is a large group of queer people living in a house together, declaring their attraction to one another, sneaking away from the group in pairs (and sometimes in groups) to the “boom boom room,” where they have sex while everyone else gossips. In many ways, the show has lived up to expectations. (Normally I stay away from reality dating shows because, as a queer person, the televised heterosexual world feels so foreign to me that it rarely entertains.) Indeed, as this new season has continued, my queer friends frequently live-tweet episodes, share theories about who will be a match, or swoon over this or that participant. When the new show’s format was announced, the queer community was thrilled.
