Bottom's Up!

We decided to ask the gods how many bottoms could you fit into one karaoke room? It looks American Apparel and Eastern Bloc from last season answered our prayers. Our question is who took home the gold for biggest bottom in this picture? Our money is on one of the ladies. xoxo

You Say Goodbye, We Say Hello

PRESS PLAY!

The season is officially a third of the way over, and we have noticed a lot of changes this season from the last. Some of these changes are for the better, some for the worse and some for the more dramatic, our favorite being the latter of course. We obviously won’t cover all aspects of change in this post, and we encourage our vets to comment on what they see as the change from last year’s epic season to this year’s rather hum-drum season.

1. TEAMS: Goodbye American Apparel, Hello Penelope

We have to say, American Apparel had to be the cutest team last season. They had Lukus, Vanessa, both Matts, and Castellano. Even Rob, who was obnoxious and self involved, was a looker. We couldn't help but giggle to ourselves watching Wind parade around the gym every week with that pink dodgeball. Not content being just pretty faces, they were fun, excitable and even their uniform flair boosted how cute they were. Off the court everyone wanted to be their friends and on this blog everyone seemed to want to be in their beds. But we seemed to have lost that sponsor and the Angels/Princesses (which was it by the way?) have been split-up more than Vinny and James. Then stepped in Penelope. Perhaps the cutest place on Earth to have brunch has somehow been blessed with the cutest players as well. The common dominator being Lukus (yes, yes, we are totally in the LFC: Lukus Fan Club, who isn’t?), but he has now been joined by cuties Dom, Giuggugiolioguoili (that's how you spell it right?) , Dykey Mikey and completely dreamy newbies Nick and Tamika. Even their team name, Inglorious Brunchers, is cuter than if kittens and puppies could mate under a rainbow. They may not be the best players, but we’d catch or throw for anyone on that team.

2. CAPTAINS: Goodbye Mikey, Hello Monica

A whole diatribe could be written about how thrilled we are to see Eastern Bloc disbanded, but that would just encourage them to do that annoying cheer more at the after parties, so we’ll just focus on the fact that their annoying behavior stemmed from their loudmouthed captain, Mikey. All hatred aside, we are slightly jealous at how well Mikey was able make a team that tight, but we won’t miss having to hear him and his disciples on the court every week or watch their displays of public affections at the after parties. The good news is Mikey has been demoted to merely a player this year (obviously with much chagrin) and thusly cannot rally a new class of annoying teammates. The even better news is that now that Monica isn’t Mikey’s second banana, he has risen back to power and is the captain of Gaydar.net (make sure you check out their awesome shirts). We felt that Monica got a little soft playing with Eastern Bloc last season because of all the team love, but now, if the Facebook pictures are any indication, the fully agro, double throwing, Carrie Underwood loving heartbreaker is back and ready to rock the Tony D center. We’re also glad to see him rocking the after parties too. Steve, we love when you’re like this… Keep it up. Now if you were only single again…

3. LESBIANS: Goodbye Niki, Hello Stacey

Now we always love the ladies, and you never forget your first love. The first lady we fell in love with was none other than Niki. A woman who can pull off pigtails and still take out most of the best guys in the league with her mad throws and amazing catches is hard not to love. What we’ve noticed lately though is Niki has been getting quiet with age. We remember our first after party many moons ago where the flip cup table was dominated by Niki and she was unstoppable on the dancefloor. Now at the after parties she opts for a quiet moment with board members or sharing a drink with the other ladies in the corner. Well, thankfully our super fun lesbian spot has been filled by Stacey. This relatively new member has stepped it up this season. She’s made every after party a little more intense, stepped up her skills on the court, could out-wrestle Hulk Hogan and sings a fierce karaoke. Just as it was with Niki before, it’s hard to find a person in the league that doesn’t adore this lady. Maybe Niki has settled down because she’s found her soul mate Jacob, but that just gives Stacey more traction to keep up the great job she’s done in representing the ladies this season.

4. HOTTEST NEWBIE: Goodbye Trevor, Hello Andreau

Mezz may have won the hottest newbie last season, but people, he has a boyfriend and he’s 100% faithful (read: boring). So we are moving the title over to Trevor, who caused quite a few waves last season and some even this season. We’ll miss Trevor’s vacant glances around the flip cup table (“Is he checking me out or still trying to figure out how this game works?”) but we’ll happily welcome the come hither bedroom eyes of Andreau. Andreau has already been busy this season and seduced a few boys with his oddly huge arms, mischievous smile, and seamlessly unending supply of tight, slogan-laden shirts. The worst part of it all is that Andreau also is incredibly NICE. We remember meeting him at an after party and *he* started the conversation with *us*. We were so flattered, that is until we realized he was that nice to everyone, sssiiiigghhhh. So gone are the days of forced conversations with Trevor (he's REALLY pretty, but too quiet and shy for his own good) and now are the days of endless flirting with Andreau and the endless fantasizing of him playing dodgeball shirtless.

5. FLIPCUP: Goodbye Truth or Dare, Hello ???

We remember last season where you didn’t come to the flip-cup table unless you were ready strip on a pole or suck on a toe. From the moment the first person uttered the words, “Now that you lost you have to do a truth or dare,” we were in love with the idea. It landed us some prime makeouts, hilarious memories and more fodder for this site than we knew what to do with. However, some little natches complained that the truth or dare aspect of the game deterred them from participating. So the board, in their infinite wisdom, has been trying to keep the nasty factor out of the game. Policing a drinking game? Really? What next? Salad bars instead of pizza at the parties to curb adult obesity? Flip-cup is fun and all, but it was even more fun when spiced up. We’ll play along with the board and say that maybe truth or dare flip cup isn’t the best way to go, but let’s think of something to make it more fun than just the same way every college kid plays. If you ask us, “Strip-Cup” has a nice ring to it…

6. THE BOARD: Goodbye Old Vanessa, Hello New Vanessa

After what we saw as a lukewarm attempt at being Commissioner last season, we have to say Vanessa has stepped it up this season. We weren’t sure she was even the right person for the job last season because she was following some incredible people before her. Paul the *old* Commissioner could command a presence like nobody’s business and ran the league with an iron fist and a devil's laugh. Vanessa came in a little weak, but this season she’s hitting her stride. We don’t know what happened down in Brazil, but she’s stronger, more decisive and shaping the league in a more fun, welcoming way. She’s even thwarted some of our best attempts at turning this league into a big gossipy mess (like with number 5). She’s also given a lot of respect to the sport we play. The refs are better, the rules are tighter and most of us have a pair of shorty shorts that would make Norman blush all because of her. Keep up the good work V.

Those are a few of the differences we have noticed and welcome you all to submit yours; good or bad. Earlier we stated that this season has been pretty hum-drum but we have 8 more weeks to make this perhaps the best season yet for BAD! We encourage you all to be bold: make out with that guy or gal you’ve had your eye on, take your shirt off at the flip cup table or get in that cage and dance your heart out to that Bon Jovi song. Just please make sure we’re there to see it. xoxo

There's A New Princess In Town

Hey American Apparel Angels from last season, it looks there's a new princess in town and she's totally hogging your spotlight. What gives? xoxo

End of the Season Treason

Hey Lukus here, and you may remember from the American Apparel team aka Princess Power (miss you guys!!), and I am going to be taking a look back at the shitshow that was the End of the Season Dodgeball party. Memories may be hazy, but I have the lovely Cinderella to help me and you piece together the night. And what a crazy night it was, well let's see where to begin??

Well there were girls! Cinderella had a crush on the one in middle, but don't tell anyone.

And of course there were boys. The middle finger was not appreciated! You ruined a photo of some of the hottest guys in the league! Shame on you, Cinderella will tell her stepmother on you!
And of course who can forget Ms. Effie, aka Kiki, doing her rousing rendition of "And I'm Telling You" from Dreamgirls. This was a season in the making moment, because duh her name is Ms. Effie. Keep on rocking it out!

The board talked and gave out awards. Cinderella and I can't believe these people run our league, cater to our drunken antics, and come back to do it again next season. They must have a glutton for pain! Or have a constant thirst for beer.

Eastern Bloc came and cheered, chanted, and then they sang a song about dodgeball that sounded familiar. They even gave gossipgays a shout-out! Cinderella was mad she was left out of the song.

Aw Carrie 2.0, don't cry over your mirror. You are still pretty. Wait, doesn't a broken mirror mean 7 years of bad sex or something? You may wanna find a way to break that curse, and fast!

So Cinderella and I don't exactly know how all of the dirty dancing started happening, but man people were getting DOWN! Niki is showing Koray who is boss and taking control of that hot turkish ass.

Cinderella was surprised that Michael C knew how to get that low?? Just enough stomach to make all the boys go crazy, your mother taught you well!

Wow this is a Cubbyhole sandwich I want to be in! Between Mezzano, Niki, and Jay I wonder if there's any room for a pickle? Mine of course.

Cinderella likes to call this hot picture of Trevor and I "Having a blonde moment". If this were the 50's we would be dreamboats or something.

So when people weren't dancing their asses off, they were showing a lot of love in the form of kisses. Boys kissing boys, girls kissing girls, boys kissing girls, I mean nothing was off limits. Especially for Koray!

Jacob - we see you too! We totally blame the shots Ciniderella kept doing with these two for this kiss.

This picture is so hot, when it hit the internet it caused a small forest fire in Central Park. Cinderella offered you lucky boys a coin to flip to see who could bottom first.

We told you! Boys kissing girls! What you didn't see was Niki's hand up Cinderella's ball gown. Sneaky devil.

Ok, listen Vanessa, Cinderella and I like Mandy a lot. So it weirds us out to see you kissing someone else, especially someone we don't even know! Who you be mystery man?? Cinderella is steamed and she is ready to take off her one glass slipper and throw it at that mystery man so run for cover.

Wow a 4 way kiss, is this a picture from the next episode of Jersey Shore? Well at least Craig the ref looks like he is having fun! Cinderella approves.


It was a crazy night indeed at Therapy, but it looked like all of you dodgeballers had mucho fun. All of this kissing and dirty dancing really got Cinderella all fired up. You can see how my night ended for myself. Cinderella took full advantage of me, and then her princess friends joined in, and well, I did things that would make even Mickey Mouse blush. xoxo

Duplexity

So how do we put this? Ok at the beginning of the season we asked you guys who you thought the hottest team was and you said American Apparel was hands down. Well, how do we put this lightly... we think America got it wrong. Have you seen Duplex recently? There is a little something for everyone there, and on top of that they are in 16th place in the league. So that means they are the underdogs going into the tournament, and who doesn't love to root for the underdog? When the underdogs are this cute, consider us fans. xoxo

Do You Believe?

In the spirit of the holidays, and the last week of dodgeball, we were sent this drunken gem for you to enjoy. Sounds like some people had some liquid courage to be able to hit those soaring notes. Here are some things we won't stop believing in: Tuesday hangovers, gays will be able to marry one day, Symmes will play without his shirt, you can find love on Fire Island, Lady Gaga concert tickets will appear in our mailbox, and Santa Claus. What won't YOU stop believing in? xoxo

Hot Stuff

So we had a poll of which team was the hottest this fall in the league, and what do you know the American Apparrel team won that shit hands down. We have never seen such a commanding lead taken in a poll on gossipgays, ever! We have to give the Cubbyhole team some credit for attempting to de-throne the Angels of their title, but alas, they could only muster half of the votes. So do you think AA has the hottest team this season, or was Cubbyhole robbed? We think America may have finally gotten a vote right for once. xoxo

The More Things Change...

So it looks like BAD! got a snazzy new logo, but our question is did they need it? What was wrong with the old logo? Also did anyone else see the little print on the bottom of the logo? Sponsored by American Apparel, so now the league is being sponsored? We hear big changes are in store this season from the new outfits to adding more teams. So our question is this, with all of the changes happening, what do YOU think BAD! will be like this season? xoxo
