1 girl 5 gays can get awkward as is with all the heated questions asked of the lovely and ready to share panel of boys, but the March 5 episode took this to new heights by asking the men to do all this in the buff. We had a chance to speak with Ish about how things went and what the response has been to this truly landmark episode in the history of nude reality television.

What was your reaction to/how did you feel about filming the episode?

Initially, when I heard the rumblings of a naked episode brewing, I was nervous! I remember thinking that I WOULDN'T be asked to be on the panel; I knew from the get go that this would be a fun, lighthearted episode and I didn't feel that my love of exposing my chest trumped my perpetual "serious moments". However, when I was asked I (obviously) said yes and was very excited to be a part of it.

How did you feel after seeing the episode?

It’s kind of hard to explain, I mean I felt/still feel great but right before the show started I joked with Max asking "Is it too late too pull out?" I mean, we were naked! It was just such a funny episode though (for sure one of our top 3). I'm very happy about it.

What responses have you received following the airing?

There has been such a crazy spectrum of reviews, lots of blush inducing comments about my posterior (which I am very flattered by, so thanks!). Of course questions about Max & I and a lot of people just reaching out about my little piece on (gay) male body image. There also are those people who still feel they need to condemn the episode in its entirety but that's expected, I mean its only 2012, how dare we be so progressive about nudity?
