His hair is glorious in that video.

Tan's husband is mormon! AJ sold his condo right after?!?

I don't think I like people scamming the Fab Five like that.

The inevitable side effect of bettering people's lives through material possessions.

I say that as someone who likes the new version.

Well, he's engaged..so life changes. I mean half of the time during the show I am really weighing whether these guys deserve the QE treatment or not.

ugh the cop episode. i grew up not far from there and he was like so many dudes i knew. always crying about their dad, afraid to do anything uncomfortable (congrats for putting a fucking suit on and taking your family out!) and a nice unhealthy group of friends to shotgun budwiesers with.

It's a bunch of grown up Bobby HIlls that never stopped eating deli meat even though it gave him gout.

oh good, even more crying

I love that they removed the "straight guy" from the title and opened it up.

^^^ Whoever cast the Queer Eye guys deserves all the peace prizes.

so does whoever put Antoni in Hanes.

Yass is a hole btw.

i think i know what you mean but what do you mean T?

I mean Yass, the town they filmed this bit in for the stupif "yas queen" joke, is a hole. A shithole of a town.

I am shockingly excited that S2 is on netflix already. A reprieve from the world right now.

Only just now realized that this show has only been on when the prez has been GOP.

I was bleh on the first cast but I really love, love this one. Or maybe I just got old.

Things just keep getting better.

i remember carson from the show's first time around being pretty great but yeah the cast this time around are so awesome

just started season two and ready to bawl my eyes out at least once tbh

I have one episode left and I am saving it for a bad day. All of them are so good at their job. I am seriously impressed by how well they understand and communicate with every person. (super over that Persian guy though)

JVN needs a line of hair products. His hair is amazing.

can we get mama tammye her own show pls

truth bomb

apart from his gorge hair i like that Jonathan goes for very low key grooming for himself as opposed to what a lot of gay men do. his beard is not sculpted, which is best. I just love Jonathan so much.

he actually looks the least groomed of all of them (hair excepted)

i watched s2 e1
i cried all my human tears & then they turned into butterflies & flew away
omg mamma Tammye is a treasure

i legit sobbed at the end of ep 2

yeah the one-two of tammye’s little speeches to each of the fab five followed by her sermon was super-powerful

I had to lol at Tan recommending yet another rolled up sleeve to the first dude he took to the menswear store.

Idk, I'm not feeling this season as much as the first. The novelty has worn off and now it seems quite formulaic and designed to wring as much emotion as possible out of almost every scene. It's almost banal at times and full of platitudes. Jonathan will say "yasssss" about 100x an episode. Karamo will say "you got this" to motivate some timid schlub. Tan will give bad, basic fashion advice. Bobby will put some tacky Live Laugh Love art up and make the house look like a million other reno shows, and Antoni will zhuzh up a toasted sandwich or w/e. They put up a series of inspirational meme quotes including Buddha and Rumi, rmde.

The worst was on s1 tho when Bobby whacked up several inspirational quote prints in the new place for the dweeb comedian, and then I noticed they'd used the same one in one of the apartments that was hanging up in the Fab 5 apartment. Like maybe try a litle harder and mix it up a bit instead of having these terrible empty Walmart prints shouting affirmations at people.

Antoni is whatever, he's hot and nice. Karamo moves stuff along. I think Bobby, Tan and JVN have done amazing work and I don't get tired of their shtick ( I think I only saw 1-2 things that I didn't like about of what Tan recommended). These subjects are so dire that they kind of make me a little mad sometimes; I accidentally feel like I understand what Jordan Peterson is so aggro about with guys needing to clean their rooms.

I was actually wondering what the reno budget was for each episode.

omg u guys

Happy Father’s Day to an amazing man, @KaramoBrown

omg, you guys i'm like totally qiqing right now!

let's have a qiqi

(lock the doors tight)

Jonathan will say "yasssss" about 100x an episode.

If I have any problem with season two, it's that there is not enough of this, not that there is too much. One of my favourite episodes from last season was the one with the really big family who clearly didn't have much money, and watching Jonathan goof around in Target with them, buying little cases for all their hairbrushes, and seeing how much they just loved his shtick, was great fun. This season is a bit too issue-y for me. Too much crying and hugging, not enough firemen being forced to learn to dance.

That was an endearing scene, but apart from that there's just something cringey about recycling a catchphrase that's already a little unfashionable. Aren't they supposed to be ahead of the curve or something? It makes me think of Broad City, the way Ilana says it ad nauseam. Apparently Jonathan explains to a straight guy later in the season that "yas queen" is a "major slogan for the gays". I think he means basic gays? There's something about how it's been taken out of the drag world and normalised, but also presented in this trite sort of way. I guess it's still fresh for normies so it's easier for him to get away with it.

I know I'm coming across like the bitchy BFFs from that episode of High Maintenance, but it still bugs me. I know Eureka says it a lot on the current season of RuPaul too, and it's like yes girl we get it you learned a catchphrase now pls stfu.

Yas queen isn't that common yet. It's not like hot mess or fierce which became common a decade ago?

I don't know, living in major cities I always try to really keep perspective that most of the country is not up to date on design blogs or queer slang.
