4th Annual GG's

BAD! may be having their end of the season awards party next Thursday at Splash at 7pm, but we at gossipgays have our own awards to tend to, The GG's. With the overwhelming response over the seasons, we have decided to have continue the tradition. You know the drill, YOU vote on the winners, and WE post the results. So take a second and comment on your favorites, while we reflect on all of the drunken times we have shared together but probably forgot the morning after. xoxo

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Tricks

We decided to take a look back at the season so far and examine all of the fun you may have missed, may have indulged in, or may have been so blackout drunk you didn't realize you had fun.

 Meet the Geek Chic Crew,  because you know looking smart by wearing glasses at dodgeball is SOOOO in this season. They will give their intellectual opinions about life, life and the pursuit of getting lucky at any dodgeball after party.

We wonder what Endre thought was soooo funny?

That's a sandwich we wish was on the menu at Project Sandwich!

We hope Norman picked a winner.

All those dance lessons are finally paying off.

Adam is either watching a documentary on the History Channel, women's golf, or Splash play. We can't tell.

We always duck when we see this face.

Two hands = double trouble.

When they say sing your heart out, they didn't mean it literally. xoxo

Making A Splash!

Don't let those dodgeballers confuse you. You may have seen them stumble upon Splash for it's weekly Musical Mondays, and while they claim not to be theater queens, we saw many a Mary singing along to Xanadu like it was their job. Yup, for the eighth week of the season Splash was the afterparty but it wasn't your normal Musical Monday. Pizza, flipcup, and the World Series game filled the downstairs, while those who wanted a little Barbara in their lives ventured upstairs. The 2 for 1's were dangerous, but not as dangerous as a good ol' game of Truth or Dare.

The dares were going around like the swine flu. We saw lap dances, there was break dancing, and the occassional go-go dancing, but it was the truths in the game that really got some of the boys blood bubbling. There were some confessions from certain people about crushes, sexual preferences, and who was, ahem, cut at the table. Every week the game gets a little more intense, and the stakes are raised just a tad bit more. For the most part we saw a certain vet working his magic on the newbies, and one by one they fell under his spell. We always knew he was the quite the dodgeball hearthrob, we just didn't realize how good his game was. Oh who are we kidding we have seen him play dodgeball, we know he's that good. xoxo

Just Around The Bloc

So we asked YOU who was the best team so far this season, and it looks like Eastern Bloc just narrowly beat Splash to win the title in the fierce two way battle. While we are all about flair, we are a little baffled at the red patches on the sleeves. Are we bringing back the 80's or is there something more to it we are missing?


Nonetheless, with the season almost half over and the competition ramping up, will anyone be able to beat the undefeated Eagle Team and dethrone them from the top spot? Or will they fly through to the finals as the team to beat this season? It's anyone's game. xoxo

Cock Bloc-ed

Last nights tournament was insane. Tempers flared, bullets were dodged, but only one team had the hopes of becoming the winners of America's Next Flop Model. Oh who are we kidding? Eastern Bloc took it down last night defeating the fiery Splash team, first placers Gym Bar, the underdogs Duplex, and one helluva showdown with XES (who really brought their A game last night with Osada kicking some serious ass). They played four games straight and boy were they a hot sweaty mess by the end of it all. We are happy Monica kept her angry face on througout the night, we wouldn't want to see her leave home without it.

We saw some amazing playing by everyone in the league, and to see the 7th and 8th placed teams in the league as the last teams standing for the final showdown was quite the surprise. Nonetheless, Eastern Bloc came out on top, XES took a well earned 2nd place, and Pieces took third place for the night. We are happy everyone was on their best behavior (we saw Benji giving the "good sportsmanship" talk before every game, and we mean every game) and that people came to win! We know some teams may have been Cock Bloc-ed last night, but let's hope that only happens on the court. xoxo

More Of The Same

As the season is winding down, the heat is on. So the naturally the dodgeballers got their party on afterwards, and it all went down at Gym Bar. Well technically it's Lockerroom since it's the down stairs but who cares when they supply pizza and flip cup? The usual dodgeball debauchery was kept to a minimum on Monday night, we can imagine the heat kept the boys on the best behavior! It was still a fun time, because how can you go wrong with hot boys and beer?

While Gym Bar may have been tame, the after after party at Splash certainly wasn't. There was dancing, shots, and of course half naked hot boys. While not the obvious choice for an after after party (Musical Monday's anyone??) we see that some of the dodgeballers had a rip-roaring time. Glad to see some of our dancing queens still know how to get the party started, and know how to end it. xoxo

Way Back Wednesdays 4-29

As we approach the tournament in the next couple of weeks, with winning the season in back of all of the teams minds, we hark back to last season and wonder how the hell Masterbeat won the whole shebang?! Half of the time they didn't have enough players, but when their team did show up, they did some major damage. You know Splash was none too pleased since they had pretty much beat every team in the league, but somehow BAD!'s very own Bad News Bears snuck up and took the title in the end. Talk about underdogs. xoxo

It's Anyone's Game

Last night was proof that it's anyone's game this season as the undefeated Eastern Bloc and second place Stonewall took a tumble by losing both of their matches. This was just the thing Gym Bar needed to take over the score board and come out on top. All of the top teams are currently tied for winning 6 matches, but it's the games that count! At this stage in the game, Gym Bar has a good lead on it's competition, Eastern Bloc, Pieces, Bamboo 52, and Carraway & Sciacca, who are all neck and neck for first. See for yourself here.

That being said, we think the teams have finally decided to bring their A -Game and try to win. We saw several underdog teams finally start stepping up to the plate, making it a VERY interesting season. Also making it more interesting is some of the team flair on the court. We don't know how Gym Bar does it, but they play in wigs. Yes, we never thought it would come to this, but if Kelly can still throw hard and look fierce doing it, hats off to him!

Last season it was socks, this season headware seem to be the team flair to wear. We saw pink banadanas on Carraway & Sciacca, blue bandanas on Pieces, "Angry Beaver" headbands on Henrietta Hudson's (how terribly ironic), bedazzled white karate headbands on Eastern Bloc, smiley face headbands (how very Watchmen) on G Lounge, dark hats on Besspots, and yellow do-rags on the Boy Butter team (cheers for making gay look so thug).

We will give props where props are deserved and give a shout out to the Eagle team who managed to have their shirts altered in different designs using small metal holes. Everyone's shirt is different, and we could see them totally wearing them out after. Also Pets at Play did some altering to their shirts, with interesting results. Adding a little color to white shirts definitely helped.

After the games people headed uptown to Splash Bar for some two for one drinks after party fun, only to realize it was Musical Mondays. It definitely made for a different kind of post play afterparty. When we saw Sergio and some newbies singing along at the tops of their lungs, we were happy to see there were some dodgeballers who were secretly theater queens in the league. All in all it was a nice change of pace. We are sure the after after party at Woof! was a little bit more of our pace, but as you know a change will do you good. xoxo

Wet and Wild

Post-play action tonight will be at Splash (50 W. 17th Street between 5th and 6th Ave). Happy hour will be extended to 11pm IF you bring your gym ID, so don't be a slacker and forget it.

Finally someone at BAD! must have heard our prayers. Those dodgeballers are sooooo last minute, but not any more. Someone finally just got organized and made a page for all of the social events BAD! has set up. BAD! social events.

Lastly, we think someone may be invading on our territory. A *real* photographer will be at the gym tonight, but lucky for him he's only shooting the actual playing of the games (how terribly boring). He better leave the after parties to us, because he may know photography, but we know drama. xoxo

On The Fringe!

While we were in hibernation for the holidays, we caught up on A LOT of DVR. While some of it was complete garbage (do you have to sleep with BOTH Ikki twins to get A Shot At Love or just an STD?), we happened to find a diamond in the rough on Fox.

We love everything J.J. Abrams touches, but we happened to take a special liking to what could be our favorite new show of the fall, Fringe. We like it even more because when we were about half way through the season we got deja-vu when we saw a hot familiar face at the beginning of an episode.

Yup those glaring glances and stern scientific looks belong to none other than Scott E., one of our newbie crushes from last season! He played on the Splash team, and they took 1st in the league last season. Quite the fierce competitor, we love that Scott is working it on and off the court.

We also heard that he was mentioned in an interview in The Advocate. Guess it's just a matter of time before we say, "We totally hooked up with that guy in the back of Gym Bar!" xoxo

Sisters Do As Sisters Do

By far one of our favorite moments of the night was the hilarious Lawrence Welk Show parody that Sanchez, Norman, Scott E., and Dom pulled off splendidly.

Ok we have to admit, Sanchez looks damn hot with that big old blonde wig. We are totally j.



In case you are living under a rock here is the skit that inspired this truly priceless parody. xoxo

Santa Came Early

How do you expect us to try and process all the shenanigans that happened last night at the BAD! end of the year party? Or the after party at Urge and Cubbyhole? We are way too hung over to figure out even who we went home with. We will leave you with a picture of Sergio who apparently lost a bet, and wore Norman's award winning outfit. I think Santa came early this year. xoxo

And The Award Goes To..

So we understand BAD! is having their end of the season awards party tonight at Splash (17th Street, between 6th and 5th Ave) in the Downstairs Lounge, and we here at gossipgays totally got jealous. So we decided to have our own awards, but we wanted YOU to vote on the winners. So take a second to tell us what you think, while we figure out how to crash the party. xoxo

Mirror Mirror On The Wall...

Who is the fiercest team of them all?

From the way all of the teams were playing last night, we would say all of them. It seems as if there was a little tension in the air as the teams are now past the half way point and the race for first is on. Splash continues to dominate the league, with United Shipping Company is right on their tails!

Unfortunately for View Bar, they didn't even have enough people to play. They had to forfeit both games, and Vinny who did show up was none too pleased.

BTW, we are loving the Logo team shirts. I mean we get it that they were supposed to be orange, but bravo to who ever decided to get all Martha Stewart on their asses and design the shit out of them.

And a special shoutout goes out to Eagle and Logo that had one of the most intense sudden-death over times ever. They didn't just have one, they had two. We got goosebumps until Logo got one of the new members of Eagle out.

Well let's just say the real fun didn't even begin until all those dodgeballers got to View Bar. It was there that they began to "fierce it out" they say, and we don't even know where to start on that trying to recap that, but give us time...

Balls, B*tchiness and Bawdiness

Though there were some fashion snafus (team Logo shirts were white, not orange – GASP!), we managed to get through the evening with minimal ref bitchiness (*cough* Benji), and on-the-court drama (*cough* RJ charging the opposing team). But let’s focus on the positive – we HAVE tees-shirts. Yay!

A ball-catching pit bull with lipstick (affectionately), Vanessa V. single-handedly took out the entire MasterBeat team. And hats off to Jeff S. for A). being the last man standing in each of his Gym Bar games, and B). buying everyone within a five-foot radius of him a drink at G Lounge.

Also, we heard a comment about Splash being "the most handsome team" in the league. Well, it *is* kind of hard to disagree. Pun intended.
