Rocco Dispirito is a charming New Yorker chef who rises to fame after the NBC's reality show 'The Restaurant'. I have only watched him cooked on TV once in the talk show 'Isaac'. He may not be in the league of the super goodlookers, but his charisma and presence on the camera are intoxicating. However, not everyone likes Rocco. Some media think that he is a flop who makes use of his fabulous flirting skills to market himself on TV, and it doesn't matter whether his targets are women or gay men. This possibly explains his association with many actresses and stirs a few gay rumours. His orientation doesn't concern me. He may be a jerk who knows how to toy with peoples' liking for him, but I like him on TV. He flirts so well with Isaac on the latter's show that I love the show more and start to like the Don Juan too.

Issac is an openly gay fashion designer and host of the self-titled talk show. In one of the epsiodes, his guest star was Rocco. Isaac was fatally attracted to Rocco from the way he looked at him. Here are the evidences: The first sizzling exchange of words began at backstage before the onset of his segment. After a tight hug, Isaac pinched Rocco's cheek and said:

"I want so much to make out with you." (Evidence #1)

Spontanteously, Rocco replied something like "ok, we will do it here."

Then they head off to the actual shooting at a store where Rocco gave Isaac a few tips on choosing kitchenware, followed by a trip to the supermarket to get ingredients for his cooking show. When they were driving back to the studio in Rocco's motorbike, Isaac was quick to cup Rocco's chest with both his hands while he hopped onto the seat. (Evidence #2). I was pillion before and I didn't grope my driver's chest even if the ride got bumpy. Anyway, back in the studio, Isaac continued to be smitten by Rocco. When Rocco took off his sweater in the mid of his cooking, Issac got excited:

"Wow, you took off your sweater." (Evidence #3)

Issac stared at the sweater-less Rocco. To the audience he said:

"He's so cute."

Later, I can't recall what caused a ripple in the audience and he reacted with these words:

"What?" (in a bitchy tone)
"Try standing next to him and see....." (Evidence #4)

He acted totally like a kid lost in the playground. His surprise move came when he embraced Rocco and attempted to kiss him! (Evidence #5) The kiss did not happen of course and neither was Rocco shocked. They are friends and this helps to build up an extraordinary chemistry between them on TV. In the show, Rocco said to Isaac "I love you" and in a radio talk show, he made a similiar profession:

"I love him like a brother, he is so great! To see Isaac Mizrahi stuttering is too much!"

And the radio host replied:

"Yeah you had him speechless!"

It is not hard to fall in love with these 2 men by the way they entertained viewers. I will definitely ride the Roccomotive.
