The show's host, Laura Niles, introduces the woman, who shares a little bit about herself and what she's looking for in a partner. Then, the three men are introduced one by one. Through a series of questions and challenges, the woman must try to figure out which man is which. Elle Young, the show's relationship expert, provides commentary and advice throughout the episode. She offers insight into the men's behavior and helps the woman make informed decisions. Each man gets his own segment where he gets to spend time with the woman, show off his personality, and try to win her heart. The activities they do together range from simple conversations to more adventurous outings. At the end of the show, the woman must decide which man she wants to date. If she picks the straight man, they get to go on a date together. If she picks the gay man or the taken man, they get a prize instead. Damian F. Sandolo is the show's resident expert on body language. He analyzes the way the men behave around the woman and tries to determine who might be the best match for her. Gay, Straight or Taken? is a fun and light-hearted show that takes a unique approach to the classic dating game genre. It's filled with humor, drama, and plenty of surprises as the woman tries to navigate her way to finding love. The show's focus on the diversity of relationships and sexual orientations makes it a groundbreaking addition to the dating TV landscape.

February 19, 2007

A stereotypical California girl, at least in one sense, Elizabeth, 23, juggles jobs as an actor, server and bartender.

Given her background as a professional dancer, it should come as no surprise that 29-year-old Elle considers herself a mover and shaker, and "Center Stage" and "Fame" among her best-loved movies. She's looking to be swept off her feet by a "thoughtful, somewhat romantic" guy with a killer smile. And her potential dates have a high bar set for them: Elle's fondest first-date memory is of a guy who helped her cook dinner at her place, then, after the date ended, returned with a long-stem rose and a "thank you." Talk about considerate!

January 29, 2007

She listens to Stevie Wonder, Coldplay and Lauryn Hill, and likes funny guys who are great dancers and dressers (bonus points if they wear a peacoat).

5. Music Lover Seeks Artist

January 22, 2007

Tauvia, a 34-year-old cocktail waitress, knows what she wants - and what she doesn't: Jocks, height-challenged guys and men who are obsessed with politics need not apply for her heart.

Since seeing live shows, hunting for vinyl and listening to tunes are among her favorite things to do, a love of music is an absolute must.

4. Lively Gal Seeks Athletic Guy

January 15, 2007

A "spirited" Aries, Marisa calls herself eclectic, and her tastes show it: She listens to everything from Sade to Jay-Z, Lenny Kravitz to Green Day, and her hobbies include dancing, paintball and karate.

January 15, 2007
