GayDemon's review of Bait Bus

Today we're looking at a classic gay reality site, Bait Bus. Bait Bus was probably the original tricked straight guy site - I remember it from years ago and there's a good chance you've seen it, too. The setup is that a 2 or 3 guys ride around in a van with a girl and she acts as bait to get straight guys into the van by offering them a blowjob. Sometimes there are 2 guys and 2 girls but the theme remains the same - the guy they pick up wants some pussy and ends up getting sucked or even fucked by a guy. Yes, it's true - we've all seen this kind of site before, but the guys and the action are hot, so let's take a closer look.

The Bait Bus member home page is pretty easy to use, the latest episode listed near the top of the page followed by a bunch of recent updates. They're all listed by date, and shown with a thumb, title and the member rating. The site adds a new episode regularly every Friday. If you click the Browse Our Daily Updates link, you'll only find the weekly Bait Bus episodes, but Bait Bus is, strangely, part of a network of straight sites, so if you click the link on most of the pages that says BANGBROS HOME, you'll find yourself in the straight network, and can browse the sites and the daily updates.

The videos here are offered in WMV and MPG formats, each one downloadable in 4 parts, but not as full scenes. All but the oldest WMVs are shown at either 640x480 @ 1 Mbps or 720x406 @ 1.5 Mbps, and are good amateur quality, while the MPGs are similar in size but are not very good. The videos can also be streamed as 1 minute clips in WMV format, but while they are the same vids as the downloadable versions, they are constrained by the player to look smaller, so you may want to watch them at full screen. The videos are all DRM-free.

I did have a couple issues here regarding the way the videos are offered, although not with the videos themselves. One is that each video page has a link that says "lick here to download the full movie in 1 large file", but when you click it, you are taken to an embedded version of the full scene. The other is that above each streaming video clip, it says "HDTV quality shoot", but they're standard size and quality videos.

Picture lovers are destined for disappointment at Bait Bus. Links to the high quality pictures all lead to a page that says "sorry, no pictures found for this shoot". That does leave us with screencaps, and each shoot comes with a LOT of them. These are vidcaps and they are amateur or low amateur quality depending on which episode you watch. The normal issues associated with vidcaps are to be found there, although the newest sets are better quality than than the rest.

Are the guys really straight guys being tricked? Well, be fair - are they ever? At least a lot of the newer guys here seem like they could be straight, although some have appeared in other gay sites and a couple will take a lot of imagination to imagine straight. I must say that there's a level of casual professionalism to these videos. They have a feel of amateur work but the lighting issues and other issues so common to real amateur porn aren't present and the sound is good. There are plenty of closeups at the right moments so you can see the guys' cocks getting sucked and the penetration and cumshots are well caught.

Let's talk issues. First, when I entered the site, I wasn't taken directly to the member home - I was taken to a full page ad for another site, and had to click "No Thanks" to be taken to the member area. There is the pre-checked offer on the join page, which you should read before joining. Next the site terms say members are limited to 500 Mb of downloads per day. I believe this site's trial membership gives only limited access, and the trials rebill at $15 per month more than the cost of a regular monthly membership. And then there are the video claims listed above in the video section.

Bait Bus had a great idea years ago, and it's still a great theme today - guys getting tricked into a van, expecting a blowjob from a girl, only to end up getting sucked by a guy. The site has been adding a new episode every week for over 2 years now, and has grown to 189 episodes. If you like gay reality porn or tricked straight guy sites, and are comfortable with the issues listed above, I'd say you're going to really like Bait Bus - why not check it out, and see what you think.
