Except for a few snags: It’s an all-couples season, filming starts in two days, and Noelle hasn’t spoken to her “girlfriend” in a year. But she already has plans to use the prize money on her ailing father’s medical expenses, and she would do anything for him—including fake date her ex-bestie on national television.Can Noelle walk a tightrope between reality and TV while juggling a pretend relationship and true feelings? Or will she get sent home empty-handed and brokenhearted? If you want to support us and gain access to bonus content become a Patreon: BGE Patreon Wanna talk queer media with us and our friends?

Ever wondered about the queer stories hiding in plain sight within ancient Arthurian legends? We sit down with author John Glynn to discuss his captivating new novel, The Lost Book of Lancelot. In this deep dive, John reveals how he rediscovered the queer coded love story between Lancelot and Galehaut within the 13th century Vulgate Cycle, a narrative that was largely erased in later versions of the myth. We explore the fascinating world building of the Isle of Women, the significance of Lancelot’s surrogate mother, the Lady of the Lake, and how the author navigated the transition between the old ways and the rising influence of Christianity. John also explains his decision to humanize Lancelot by addressing his legendary madness through the lens of modern mental health and emotional depth. We discuss the powerful matriarchal influences in the story, the introduction of the badass knight Bagotta, and why the novel uses an interlacing narrative structure similar to a soap opera to keep readers turning pages. Whether you are a diehard fan of mythology or new to the Round Table, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on one of history’s most famous knights.
