Dear Ruthie,
Can you give us a behind-the-scenes peek on Ranger Danger who is on your reality show “Camp Wannakiki?” What’s he like? Is he single? Is he a nice guy? I feel funny for asking but have to know more!
Wanna Know,
Bi-Curious Guy
Dear Guy,
Don’t feel funny, honey. I can’t go anywhere without people asking me for details on Ranger Danger.
For those of you not familiar, Ranger Danger is the (very) sexy forest ranger from the drag-competition reality show “Camp Wannakiki.” (Check it out on OutTv!) Ranger Danger is played by actor/model/performance artist Eddie Danger Generazio. And, yes…as one of the show’s hosts and judges, I get to see Eddie every day during filming.
An extremely kind, funny and thoughtful person, Ranger Danger has a body that viewers simply can’t get enough of. I’m not going to reveal if he’s single or anything else about his personal life, but I will say that he’s quite intelligent and delightful. Don’t believe me? Watch Season 5 of “Camp Wannakiki” and find out!
