Raj is sexually attracted to women and only women, I haven't seen any evidence to suggest otherwise.

The punchline of a lot of jokes with him is the more or less subtle suggestion that he could also be into guys. So the idea of him entering a relationship with one is absolutely believable for me. Note that this wouldn't necessarily deny his interest in women - bisexuality is a thing after all.

Obviously, if the show ever did that it had to be done right and Stuart certainly wouldn't be my choice at all. But if he ever met a cute guy and they hit it off I could totally buy it.

lol, I think some people need to look it up to understand the definition of 'Metrosexual' because it still seems to be going over people's heads. Raj is very Metrosexual in terms of lifestyle but he is clearly when it comes to a sexual orientation point of view Heterosexual.

Its why I laugh at all this talk of him being gay and calls on podcasts for him and Stuart to enter in a relationship because they are both single and lonely. Raj is sexually attracted to women and only women, I haven't seen any evidence to suggest otherwise.

You're probably right, but sometimes even I have to laugh...

The only things I know about cricket are wickets and googly. (I forget what movie had the great quote “that’s a wicked googly!” Perhaps “Hope and Glory”?)

They mentioned Yorker as well, a type of delivery (the way the ball is bowled).

Cricket is fairly popular in parts of the world, especially in England, Australia, South Africa and Asia so I kind of liked seeing it being mentioned a bit.

On a lot of the world, just not in the US. Although, there are groups that play near where I live. Different clubs here and there.

She could have been but she wasn't. I mean I totally get that you were but Shenny would be Sheldon and Penny, not Sheldon and you so therefore for her to say she's not interested in him as a man is quite an impediment.

 

Penny interest is written to support an idea. There's no impediment because she's not a person, she's a concept.

I'm into Cricket so I liked seeing it mentioned and talked about, though Raj by the sounds of it was watching a One Day International or 20/20 and i'm more into Test Cricket.

 One of the group has a sporting history, then. Gosh. So Raj was a good spin bowler - yay ! He ought to take it up again. In a university there must be enough members from cricketing nations to make up a couple of teams.

Sounds like he is a leg spin bowler if he is talking about googlies.

I think the guys trying to play cricket would be hilarious. My favorite comedy cricket scene was in Dad's Army with Fred Trueman.

I think Bernadette is the prettiest on the Women on this show but  Penny is my favorite Female on the Women on the Show.  I don't get why Howard and Bernadette were afraid of letting Penny take care of Hallie. They were in the same house and it looks like she had everything under control. 

Penny is very pretty, but what made her enchanting and irresistable was KC's acting. Up to ep 5 she hasn't had a chance to do any of that. Laid-back, detached Penny is a pleasure to look at but uninvolving.

Ofcourse Penny isn't real. Leonard isn't real. They don't exist.  The writers control what they do and feel . Thats why Penny was not very much shown to have serious relationships on screen outside of Leonard. The realism is skewed to fit Lenny. I never once bought this idea that attractive guys are all just jerks or dumb. Or "nerdy" looking  guys are just all nice sad sacks to root for.  Its too binary. 

The writers could have also very easily written Penny to be interested in and  date a tall, handsome , physically fit, nice,  educated (not necessarily genius)  guy who was smart but also loved sports and outdoors very easily. Someone who wasn't in the main cast but had a several episode long arc. She could have easily met someone like that at the gym ,  in one of her theatre groups or past acting jobs etc.

Shert! LMFAO!!!

It was a little weird but I did not see it as a gay hint or anything... I saw the Shert collaboration as being equated with starting a romantic relationship all along. First there was the sneaking, then Sheldon ashamed not of Bert but of what he does, then he blows it, then it's too late, then he is jealous and regretful. I saw this analogy as just a joke, like the Shamy collaboration-sex analogy in "The Collaboration Contamination".

There was, of course, David Underhill. What a great episode that was - they don't write them like that any more. But after DH turned out to be married, Penny had no more relationships with guys as you describe. It was kind of glaring that Penny never met such a guy at her acting class. So L never had a viable rival. Penny never had a Priya-equivalent. Unfair!

The joke is that it plays out as a sort of affair story - nothing sexual but rather Sheldon "cheating" on Lady Physics. How scandalous! lol
