...tell you, there were actual romantic dates last year,” giving hope to the love-sick hopefuls looking for their own cure this coming Valentine’s Day. The show began rather dryly with two somewhat awkward jocks shyly shaking their derrières for a meager $15. However, the humorous and flamboyant antics of the night’s emcee, Harrison R.
