[edit] Format
A female contestant goes on a group date at a spa or resort with three men. Shortly after meeting the men, the contestant receives a cell phone call from a woman who advises her that one of the three men is her boyfriend. Moments later she receives a second call from a man informing her that another of the men is his boyfriend. Now she must try to figure out which man is gay [and essentially taken], which one is straight but taken and which one is straight and available.
During the course of the date, the contestant has the opportunity to spend "alone time" with each of the men, selecting activities which she believes will give her clues as to the sexuality and relationship status of each. At the end of the date, the contestant prepares to announce her decision but before she can the girlfriend and boyfriend of the two involved men appear on the scene. The contestant then announces which man she believes is gay, which is taken and which is available. If the contestant guesses correctly, she and the available man win a vacation. If she is wrong, the man she picks wins the trip with his partner.

- "Jerry" a/k/a Jerry Banks a/k/a Tre Temptor appeared in the episode which first aired February 26, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. central time. A molecular biologist who has been a rugby champion with So. California and Division I: Santa Monica, Banks is best known for his extensive nude modeling and acting roles in "hard softcore" or "middlecore" films. Besides his film work chronicled under the name Tre Temptor or J.C. Clifford at the Internet Movie Database (although he apparently has acted under his own name of Jerry Banks), Banks has appeared in at least one further movie, "Deviant Desires," under the character name or pseudonym of "Scott Simpson." Banks also appeared in an episode of Son of the Beach as an effeminate bodybuilder. His nude modeling has included at least one pictorial in Playgirl magazine in 2000, as well as nude modeling and the modeling of fetish wear underwear for Koalaswim.com. His photographs and associated making-of videos for Koalaswim, often posing with James Buselli and a female model, no longer appear on the firm's Web site but can be found elsewhere on the Internet. Banks can also be seen on YouTube in scenes from an independent film entitled "Supercop." Banks also appears in "Supermen Behind Bars," a film from Sharpshooterstudios.com intended for a gay audience.
