Gaywatch: Sweeping You Off Your Feet
by Christine Champagne



The networks are pulling out all the stops to draw viewers during the all-important February sweeps. A new installment of "Survivor" is premiering, and this time the producers have come up with an intriguing twist on the game. Demi Moore will baby Jack (Sean Hayes) on "Will & Grace," and "Oz" ends its six-season run with a dramatic finale. Read on for some February sweeps highlights.

It's the men versus the women on "Survivor: The Amazon." One tribe will be made up of males, the other of females. So which is the stronger sex? Find out when "Survivor: The Amazon" premieres on CBS Thursday, February 13 at 8 p.m. ET.

If you think the guy working out next to you at the gym is vain, wait until you see the contestants on ABC's "Are You Hot? The Search for America's Sexiest People." The show premieres on Thursday, February 13 at 8 p.m. ET, and contestants are judged solely on their appearance.

"Will & Grace" recruits some big name talent this month when Demi Moore guest stars on the show. On an episode airing Thursday, February 13 at 9 p.m. ET, Moore plays Sissy, Jack's (Sean Hayes) new roommate. Turns out they have a history together: Sissy used to baby-sit Jack when they were kids, and it isn't long before their adult relationship begins to mimic the one they had as youngsters.

The Bundys are back. Fox will air a "Married ... With Children" reunion special on Sunday, February 16 at 9 p.m. ET. The program will feature interviews with the cast, including lesbian actress Amanda Bearse who played Bundy neighbor Marcy Rhoades.

Admit it. You're addicted to Fox's "Joe Millionaire" just like I am. During the show's two-hour series finale airing Monday, February 17 at 8 p.m. ET, we'll finally see construction worker Evan (a.k.a. our favorite underwear model) tell his chosen lady that he isn't a multimillionaire. But that's not the end of the story. Fox will air a one-hour special called "Joe Millionaire: The Aftermath" on Monday, February 24 in which we'll see how Evan's life has changed since the show wrapped production in November. Plus, he'll be reunited with the woman he chose for the first time since the filming ended. Will there be a future for the pair, or will they go their separate ways?

Say so long to Christopher Meloni (Keller) and the rest of your favorite inmates from "Oz." HBO's prison drama ends its six-season run on Sunday, February 23 with a special 100-minute finale that starts at 10 p.m. ET. In a release issued by HBO, executive producer Tom Fontana teased: "Some of the stories will be resolved; others will be left dangling. And some new ripples will begin. The life in Oswald won't end with the series, though in the last few moments you may think it does." FYI: Look for an interview with James Palacio, who plays transvestite prisoner Fiona on "Oz," in an upcoming Gaywatch column.
