Is Chris Bowers Enough Eye Candy for Bionic Woman?

Liz at Glowybox raised an interesting proposition in her review of the Bionic Woman pilot - is there going to be enough “eye candy” on BW? Sure, Michelle Ryan and Katee Sackhoff are beautiful women, but what about the men? 
After watching the pilot, the only visual “taste” of possible eye candy is Chris Bowers shirtless for about 60 seconds. He’s got a nice body and looks decently in shape, but he’s not gonna cut for the whole series. Since we didn’t see Jae Kim shirtless, the verdict is still out on him.
I’ve said before that BW has a natural built in audience with the gay and lesbian community and one of the ways to cultivate gay men is to add more men with sex appeal. Bowers and Kim didn’t show any potential in this department from the pilot.
And Isaiah Washington will never cut it visually or mentally with the gay community.
What do you think? Does a shirtless Will offer enough sex appeal to carry the series, or is he a little limp in the sex appeal department?

[...] definitely think Bridges has more sex appeal, in a cute, studios way, than Bowers showed in the pilot episode. del.icio.us Tags: Bionic Woman , NBC , Jordan Bridges , Conviction , Michelle Ryan , Chris Bowers , [...]
