The Gayborhood Games, which I told you about in the Agenda and my LGBTQ column Art Phag last week, kicked off Saturday night in the slick Voyeur Nightclub. The impressive, newly designed house was flooded by spectators, eager competitors and an impressive roster of celebrity judges, including Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone, up-and-coming porn star Bobby Rail, singer-songwriter Karen Gross and Sirius radio's Derek Hartley. The show, which was hilariously hosted by Philly duo Chumley and Carlota, featured singers, comedians, models and drag queens taking to the stage to present their talents. Bartenders and chefs also competed and brought along generous samples of their submissions, which were floating around the club via sexy, sometimes-shirtless servers. In the end, however, only seven contestants were named the best of the Gayborhood:

Outstanding Vocalist: Howard Frankel
Outstanding Drag Act: Alexis Cartier
Outstanding Comedian: Jess Carpenter
Outstanding Male Salon: Andre Richard Salon
Outstanding Female Salon: Ettore Salon & Spa
Outstanding Chef: Rachel from More than Just Ice Cream
Outstanding Bartender: Henry from the Venture Inn

What do you guys think? Did your favorites win?
