Queer Eye For The Straight Guy WTF

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.

"Master Perry's Guide to Female Happiness, Part Infinity."

Hello.

I wish they'd all go away, especially that Carson guy. I mean, they're everywhere now. No, wait, the food guy's OK.

Bad Caribbean bordello chic. Bleh.

yeah, it seems (at least on the whole) that they enhance people rather than change them.

I rewatched the episode with Tammye from the church in the town of Gay (lol) because I was introducing my mum to QE and it just broke me again. She does a little speech at the end about them all, one by one, and it is just overwhelming. Antoni is a wreck during it. It's definitely worth a rewatch if you haven't seen it for a while.

although there are some funny moments in that episode like where Antoni says that usually he teaches people to cook but he'd like tammye to cook for him. oh yeah? don't get me wrong, I adore him and find him indispensable but it will never stop being funny that he's doing the cooking lessons.

Think they'd ever do follow-ups on people? I found the Kitchen Nightmare episodes where they checked back on restaurants really interesting. Some ppl really took the advice to heart and ran with it, some thought it was bullshit and they knew better than Gordon, some wanted to make the changes but just couldn't for various reasons.

what a horrible life those two were living in that hellish apartment though. i hope it works out for them but i have my doubts.

I felt this way by the end of the episode. It seemed like they were giving each other assurances of love because they knew that was what was expected of them by the end of the programme, but in fact they didn't seem any closer than before. Of course, this could be me misinterpreting Japanese body language.

I had my doubts too but happy to report that they appear to be doing well - Makoto even put out a new EP that his wife sings on: https://www.bustle.com/p/makoto-yasuko-from-queer-eye-are-still-together-theyre-making-new-music-19291424

Love the way his instagram went from sad drawings of him visiting onsens by himself to much happier art + so many new photos of Yasuko: https://www.instagram.com/chibamakoto/

The Fab Five are literal angels at this point.

Oh, hooray! I am so happy to see that.

new season June 5

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
