We can all breathe a sigh of relief as our long, national nightmare has come to an end.  Of course, I’m talking about Finding Prince Charming.  In the last episode, Robert came clean (so to speak) with the final three suitors about his colorful past.  “It’s not fair for you guys to be as honest and upfront with me, and me, you know, feel scared about letting you guys in.  You guys were, you know, scared about divulging things that were, you know, secrets,” Robert started, with all the eloquence of someone who speaks English as a third language.  “When I was in college, you know, I was struggling.  So, um, I started escorting.”  Dillon said Robert shouldn’t let it define who he is today, and thanked him for sharing – like it was an AA meeting.  Eric said, “Thank you for being so vulnerable and in the moment.  It doesn’t change anything.”  And then he pulled Robert in for a kiss, which makes me think this may not be Eric‘s first brush with the world’s oldest profession.  Brandon said he was honored that Robert trusted them so much that he was willing to open up.  One thing was clear – Logo knew what they were getting with Robert.  And since the entire season was filmed prior to broadcast, it was easy for this “secret” to leak out – with Logo‘s blessing.

But the episode was not without drama.  At one point, Brandon was skipping through a crosswalk and snapped a tendon.  In fact, it happens while he is not only skipping but singing, “Skip to my lou, my darling”!  Look, I couldn’t make this shit up.  So at the black tie ceremony, he was not only on crutches, but probably in as much pain as the viewers were.  When Robert dumped him, Brandon hobbled over, balanced on his crutches, and somehow took off his tie.  He was stoic, while Robert was crying like a little girl – and actually wiped away some of the tears with Brandon’s tie!  Then Robert told Eric, the hairdresser from West Hollywood, that he is his Prince Charming.  As Robert brushed a stray hair off Eric’s forehead, I half expected him to call Eric “Hubbell“!

According to GLAAD, there are more LGBTQ characters on the small screen today than at any other time in history – or at least in the two decades that GLAAD has been monitoring the situation.  Of course, half of those people are on Finding Prince Charming and RuPaul’s Drag Race!
