Gay dads give up* modern life to be in Chip and Joanna Gaines show, BACK TO THE FRONTIER

The review

I'll give it a go, that family in your preview image looks adorable as hell. Plus, I don't think I've ever really seen real gay dads with their kids on a reality show before.

I'm actually impressed. Having a married gay couple with children is very risky for a Chip and Joanna brand show especially in the current climate.

Anyway, there was a show like this a few decades ago. The Internet was a thing then, but everyone wasn't addicted to social media and their phones like they are today, so this will be a much bigger deal in that sense. But they need to go hardcore with them like they did on that other show. That means making them kill their own chickens and all that. It's pointless if the participants know they can easily opt out of things.

Shocked and impressed that they allowed/agreed to this.

I loved that show that was on PBS. I think at the end the historian said they all would have starved to death.

R5 = “gay representation is great and also they would all be eaten by wolves”

I'll definitely check it out. I want to see how the different families interact.

They can use a scrimshawed ox rib as a butt plug!

Poor anal hygiene will ensue!

Chip and Joanna probably plan on setting their cabin on fire. Praise Jesus!!!

So how are they going to work? Remotely?

I shall name my children Ship and Lap

I shall name *my* children Dacron and Tureen.

FINALLY— Chip and Joanna discover that gays are people too.

It only took a decade

Chip and Joanna have a permanent dispensation from their church because they are LOADED.

Chip and Joanna cast a gay couple. 🤷🏻?

I think you guys are referring to this PBS trilogy:

- FRONTIER HOUSE (2002) set in 1883 Montana

- COLONIAL HOUSE (2004) set in 1628 Massachusetts

- TEXAS RANCH HOUSE ((2006) set in 1867 Texas

At the end of each series, the families were judged by a panel of experts and historians on their likelihood of survival.

Also, Oprah devoted an episode of COLONIAL HOUSE on her show and even attempted to live with them, joined by galpal Gayle.

Oprah’s pussy is just as delicious in “1841” as it is in 2021!

In OP's pic, I can't tell which gay dad is the top.

Which is frustrating.

I need to know who to root for.

I know Chip and Joanna got flak for attending an Evangelical church led by a homophobic pastor, but have either ever been expressly homophobic otherwise? Joanna has been an interior designer for decades, so she's no doubt associated with many gays.

I wouldn't trust them.

I don't know if they've ever been homophobic or not. It just surprises (and impresses) me a bit that they would sign off on it given their brand. I'm sure there are many gays and allies that like Magnolia, but HGTV shows (where they got their start) often attract the conservative housewife. That type of viewer might be OK with a catty gay couple getting home tours on househunters, but gay dads with kids is usually too much for her to handle. So, I find it a pleasant surprise that this would come out under their brand. There's only three families on the show and one of them has gay dads and one of the others is black. Pretty cool.

If wonder if Billy J. Brawner is going to get a show. He and his man just bought a (beautiful) fixer upper in the Berkshires. Now he's an interesting story. Married to a woman, six kids, comes out, he and wife are still besties, moved to NYC, new man and now moving to the Berkshires. Anyway, he and his son were playing basketball with Chip and Joanna the other day, and he used to be (still is?) the photography director for Magnolia. So they're obviously still close.

Gee, Chip and Joanna attend and financially support the church led by the homophobic pastor, so what do you think? They've also never spoken out against the homophobic pastor, either.
