Queer Eye For The Straight Guy WTF

Now, if they could rerun the episodes I miss on the weekend, that's good with a bag of crisps.

Also, how about this? I heard something about how the main guy in the show is now saying that is was horrible and mean or something like that.

May I say how much I adore this guy? Thankyouvery much:>

Since QE debuted on Bravo, I've been glued to my set every Tuesday night. Imagine gay guys that actually have fashion sense;>

Teeny: If you thought Butch was funny, just wait til they show you the Staten Island cop with the hot model girlfriend(!) that has to be taught to show her a good time....

True, but when was the last time you saw Jesus clad in Prada?

just is not good enough. Tracer is OTM - just about every gay guy i know falls into the category Tracer suggests and to add inslut to injury they talk/ dress/think the same. listen to the same Music etc. it's depressing. Maybe i just dont know the right ones but i have LOOKED HARD for a long time.

I respect your opinion (and your Freudian slip), but how can you assume every gay guy acts the same---unless you surveyed the entire nation?

odd how nobody on english tv has picked up on the fact that we had a version of this that started a week or two before the american version started called 'Brian's Boyfriends', especially odd as one of the people who hasn't noticed is also a fellow big brither winner. english version is very cheap and goes out after in wee small hours.

Wait a minute...is this the same supercutie who went to the Kentucky Derby with y'all?

Teeming Massive Inch?

It's Millar's thread, btw.

First episode of the new season was pretty odd. It seemed to me that the person they were trying to help had some serious chemical issues going on in her head. She clearly did some cleaning up of her life in-between the visit from the fab five and the follow-up. Maybe there are medical privacy issues that prevented them from discussing some of what happened?

they did seem to cut something during the daughter's talk w kuramo that felt important/like it would've given clearer context

I don't think I've ever seen someone who looks more like a 'Terri', like if I was asked to give an association for that name it would be p much her

I loved her collection of horse prints in the hallway, should've kept those in the redesign

Wonder where all her trinkets are now. there was a lot of stuff!

i loved that karamo seemed to have really helped start mending things btw thr daughter & terri

and that terri went w her natural hair was kind of huge <3

me too, and I liked that even though Antonio seemingly did nothing but watch ppl bake she felt so validated by that. cake looked good, would eat

Antoni! dumb autocorrect

Fair play to them, though, that they saw that the validation was more important than a cooking lesson.
I absolutely hated that horsehoe arch they put in, though. All I could see was people trying not to bang their elbows off it. What an awkward feature to put into someone's house.

i thought the Ranger guy episode was just ok - seemed pretty clear she nominated him as marketing for the ranch more than anything

but i did see a comment “East Texas Nick Miller” which made me lol and is very otm


the whole shipping container over the feed storage setup was fucking crazy O_o

I agree that the Ranger episode seemed like a setup. Again, it seemed like there was some backstory missing. He mumbled out something about "looking at other women," but why were they together in the first place if he was such a hot mess? I don't love the idea of "let's fix this guy so he can get a girl back" for this show.

The trans powerlifter woman was a lovely person. Talk about leaning into every trans panic fear, though!

i loved that episode - Angel is very aptly named <3

sidebar only slightly related: my sister in law used to powerlift & loved it. after a year or two of lifting she had to go to the chiropractor for something. he asked her to push against him with her feet as hard as she could, and she was like “are u sure” & he said “i can take it” & she nearly put him through a wall lmao

seemed pretty clear she nominated him as marketing for the ranch more than anything

Weirdly, I felt the same way about the animal rescue people. It seemed like they really wanted a free barn going into the process, but then she definitely seemed to get a lot more out of it than she thought she would. I felt like she had a weird energy, like she was a serotonin addict who had gotten in way over her head.

I absolutely loved Chris and his complete lack of knowledge about the show or the lads or any part of it, and his lovely song at the end.

the rescue lady’s vibe was intense and unsettling to me— and she has that thing where she has made her career her personality & only knows how to make other people feel good/seen and thats kind of supplanted any normal way of communicating

like gun to her head she would never tell anyone her actual opinions?

i have known ppl like this and i just find it creepy bc you never really ~know~ them

chris was great, and his story about his substance abuse & his mom was so awful & sad

I'm just up to the prom episode.

Greatly enjoyed the Fab Five constantly dunking on the Ranger guy, who was basically a walking stereotype of toxic gender norms. cackled when Antoni dramatically threw his head back and went "oh, masculinity!" when the dude was like "I just eat steak most days, I only eat chicken when no one's looking" lmao

was very moved by Angel and her relationship with her dad

oh the prom episode was so lovely, those kids & teachers were so awesome

Look, I know this show has its problems, and the magic might have worn off or whatever, but in the wedding episode this season, there is one scene where Karamo is wearing the greatest trousers I have ever seen in my human life.

Oooh I don't follow their marketing & promo stuff very well but tx for letting us know there are new eps!

Wtf was going on w the ep about the couple who wanted a wedding?? They were so boring and all they wanted/got was a televised wedding planned by the fab 5? I’ll admit the baby was cute but who cares???

I liked the one about Clyde the dealer tho

“Snack Attack”

Wtf was going on w the ep about the couple who wanted a wedding??

I looked up the new guy and it seems he also presents a show that is basically this, so maybe some crossover synergy happening?

I think I'm in love with the new decor guy. When the amazing, beautiful woman in Ep 2 collapsed in her front door and he said, "I don't think I'm going to survive this show" and started crying, it made me think he's going to be a good addition.

I didn't know anything about him, but my sister-in-law has been a big fan for a few years now. Jeremiah and his husband (who used to be the go-to interior designer/home makeover person on Oprah's show) have a successful interior design show already, so it's not like he's going to let himself get overwhelmed by, ahem, pushier personalities.

They also have a line of pet goods that I noticed while waiting in line at Petsmart.

Oooh yeah. It seemed like an obviously commercially motivated choice in so many ways, like you both pointed out. The origins of the new Fab Five were kind of...things were less high-stakes when that original crew came together, but now it's obviously all planned and manipulated at a high level. He could have been some smarmy industry plant type, you know what I mean? As a viewer, I've had a positive reaction to his interpersonal skills & emotional availability, at least as shown so far.

It's mad that things have become so toxic within the cast, and the culture has shifted so much, that I only came across the new season of this listed in the New on Netflix ribbon, and nowhere else on the Netflix landing page. Like, I have watched every season of this show, and so have other users on my subscription. I even watched one whole episode of whatever that cooking competition was that Anthony did. And now I see that Karamo isn't even doing the press tour with the others, and didn't tell them beforehand.

Wait are things toxic within the cast? I had no idea.

One of the first things that I heard about with this reboot that they staged a police stop while Karamo was driving so I just assumed they were toxic all along and sometimes better about hiding it

That's true I was horrified by that at the time and I think commented on it somewhere but I was interpreting trishyb's comment as being about a more recent development.

per Variety:

Karamo Brown, the resident culture expert on “Queer Eye,” pulled out of multiple cast interviews due to fears of bullying after feeling that he’s been “mentally and emotionally abused for years.”

In a statement read live on “CBS Mornings” to the “Queer Eye” cast, Brown said: "Thank you to everyone around the world for welcoming me into their homes for 10 seasons. Season 10 is amazing and I know you will fall in love with the deserving people we helped. Though the show is ending, I hope everyone remembers the main theme I have tried to teach them over the past decade, which is to focus on and to protect their mental health/peace from people or a world who seek to destroy it; which is why I can’t be there today. Thank you to the crew for being the best in business and the executives for believing in me. 10 seasons, I’m truly humbled.”

I was worried you were being sarcastic! And I had forgotten about that traffic stop incident you mentioned. Jesus, yeah, now you say it...

Anyway, Rolling Stone did a big expose a couple of years ago when Bobby left the show, mainly about how terrible things had been between him and Jonathan, and how awful Jonathan was to work with. Not just for the other four guys, but for the crew, and for the "heroes" or whatever they call them.

Not sarcastic!! I just don’t consume very much entertainment media. Obv something was off when Bobby left but I already kind of had gotten a bad impression of him at some points and I thought it was widely known how much Karamo’s role was actually the heart of the show. If anything I thought Antoni had become kind of a punchline for not really teaching cooking skills (though I agree that life balance and a good relationship to food is valuable!!).

I am still going to watch this season because the people on it seem interesting, and the first episode was the first time I've ever heard Jonathan try to express anything serious about their role. They said that a hairdresser gives people who've thought of themselves as one thing for a long time the chance to see themselves differently, and that is fair enough.

As usual, Karamo gets to the heart of the problem in the family and gets it sorted. I hope he does something good after this. I really like him.
