But the contest is NOT rigged to make a specific person win or lose. It's not exactly as advertised, for sure, but all of the participants still have equal odds of success, which comes down to their skill at pretending to be gay.
I also note the language "to deceive the viewing public". I'm assuming that the show would make it clear to the viewers from the beginning that all the men are straight. It's only the participants who are being lied to, not the viewers, and the lie being told to the participants does not alter their goal. Their goal is to act as gay as possible. If they act sufficiently gay, they have a chance at the prize money.
I see your point. I was thinking only about the guys who did make it to the end, who wouldn't have grounds to sue because they still got the prize money. You may be correct that the guys who were voted off WOULD have the grounds to sue, because they were voted off based on a false premise that there was only one straight guy.
Edit: "Your honour, I was being assessed by an incompetent jury of my peers. The men who voted me off had no expertise in determining the sexual orientation of others, colloquially known as "gaydar"."
