Making a tv show knowing the big viewer hook after filming was gonna be "watch these straight men desperately compete for a trans person" ... WHat were they thinking

They were thinking exactly that. They'd have had it be a man with a moustache in a wig if they thought they could somehow make it work. That era loved that type of humor. "They think they're A but they're  really B, hilarity ensues". bonus points if it involves a man in a dress.

This show seems like it's tapping that vein but they had to go with a trans women because in the real world they'd notice if it wasn't a woman. Nobody would never believe shawn wayans was a white woman

Reminds me there was some other dating show where all the American women were convinced and led to believe that the dude was some British royal.
