I didn't get to see the episode with my friend tonight because my cable is inexplicably out.

i did like how they ripped on the guy & his date.

The Greek guy's apartment was a disaster.

Bad Caribbean bordello chic. Bleh.

so thanks to tokyo rosemary, I saw the episode. It was good. It was the first time I've ever seen this friend of mine wear anything with color. Plus, a few other friends were on the episode too.

The funny thing about Butch is they just made him look like every other style-conscious NYC guy, whereas pre-makeover he looked different and interesting.

So they're doing Oprah-style makeovers then? Do they also now look ten years older than they looked before the makeovers?

hello chris - are you hear to save me? Too much hateration earlier from me - i must have been going thru one of my very frequent bouts of loathing.

I just watched the first two episodes last night, and have resigned myself to saying "Sssssuper! Thanks for asking!" all chipper like to the first person who asks how I am.

I watch an unseemly amount of television and have still managed to miss this entirely.

― Larcole (Nicole), Friday, 5 September 2003 15:16 (twenty years ago) link

I think I've seen all the episodes, hstencil. Does your friend have curly black hair?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 5 September 2003 15:20 (twenty years ago) link

Sarah, he was the one with a fire hydrant in his apartment.

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Friday, 5 September 2003 15:22 (twenty years ago) link

Awesome. THat's the one I have taped.

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Friday, 5 September 2003 15:45 (twenty years ago) link

Stence, saw the episode when it aired: your mate cleans up very well. (Plus, what an amazing-looking girlfriend!) Does his place still look that clean, I wonder>

How long until the debut of Straight Guy For The Queer Eye (30 mins of attractive straight men gazing into the camera)?

Yikes. More queers, please.

No, it'll be straight guys teaching gay men how to play football or whatever.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 7 September 2003 20:27 (twenty years ago) link

according to one ILXor, gay men already know how to play football, Michael.

― hstencil, Sunday, 7 September 2003 20:41 (twenty years ago) link

This could mean only one thing: I'm not gay.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Sunday, 7 September 2003 20:53 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think I'm qualified enough to make that determination.

― hstencil, Sunday, 7 September 2003 20:58 (twenty years ago) link

I thought the whole premise of Queer Eye was that attractive straight men don't exist!

Any thoughts on the new season?

I think it's interesting that they now show the fab five interacting with the kids in the household, which they didn't before. Also they obv have a bigger budget, which is kinda neat but kinda dud because it's just that much more unrealistic.

― teeny (teeny), Friday, 28 November 2003 21:35 (twenty years ago) link

I'm watching the making of the video of the theme song special right now, I'm so addicted.

― teeny (teeny), Saturday, 20 December 2003 19:42 (twenty years ago) link

The English version has been shelved so thankfully my TV appearance will not be shown.

How did they get Ted Nugent on Queer Eye?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 01:33 (twenty years ago) link

Chloroform?

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Wednesday, 18 February 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago) link

A friend of mine has been obsessed with this program since it practically began, so of course naturally she would drop me a few hints here and there that I needed to check it out. Well, last week I decided to give it a go and OH MY GOD it's my newest obsession! I LOVE Carson, certainly, and Jai is a wonderful doll, and Ted needs his own Food Network show STAT, and MY GOD KYAN IS GORGEOUS, but... wow... Thom. Thom. Wow. Thom. Wow. WOW.

I love this show. I'm more than happy to ignore the hataz and watch this show as many times as I possibly can. Not just for Thom, mind. ;)

OH YES, AND SOUNDTRACK ALERT! SOUNDTRACK ALERT! Not ONLY does it include a remix of a brand new song by my Beloved Boys From Birmingham (which I think is ALMOST as good as the original), it also includes an amazing mashup featuring Fischerspooner and Billy Squier.

QEFTSG UK in the house!!!

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:02 (nineteen years ago) link

But what about rival show Fairy Godfathers?

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:05 (nineteen years ago) link

Is Cabbage's mate going to be on telly at last?

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Has someone informed Dee?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 6 May 2004 13:18 (nineteen years ago) link

I hope someone shares it on slsk or something, for dee's sake. I mean COME ON, queer eye with english accents???!?

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't get that cable channel. Or any channel that's shown Queer Eye in the UK (er, is there one?)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:43 (nineteen years ago) link

My mate was on this, although I think they scrapped the episode. His lounge looks much better since the gayover.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 6 May 2004 14:47 (nineteen years ago) link

I would totally pay for cable or direct tv or whatever it took if this came on BBC America.

Convulsing with laughter, people. Convulsing with laughter.
(Though I am highly interested in this British treatment. Ha. So BBC America better pick it up if they know what's good for them. *snort*)

― Those Beautiful Lines (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 7 May 2004 05:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Apparently Aus was going to have a local version of QEFTSG too, but it never seemed to materialise. Which is probably a good thing - I dont mind the original show but somehow an ocker version would be kinda wrong, somehow. I dont know why. I just dont see it working.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 7 May 2004 05:34 (nineteen years ago) link

It's still on the cards Trayce. Last I heard Ten already signed up four guys, and had its feelers out for a cooking bloke. That's just a few weeks ago.

What Not to Wear Australia got the chop.

They finally showed this on UK terrestrial TV last night. Can NYCers confirm to me that in your crazy topsy-turvy world Carson's outfit befits a 'fashion guru'? I mean ongoing 80s revival yadda yadda, but not like that. He looked like a coke dealer from Miami Vice!

And they were encouraging Butch to double denim!

― N. (nickdastoor), Saturday, 19 June 2004 13:57 (nineteen years ago) link

This is a very amusing programme . I have loved it since it has been on Lifestyle TV - though the UK version sucks, it is just a cheap way for UK middle class guys to get their wedding outfits on the cheap - nonetheless it has made my boyf shave his back and for that alone I am very grateful.

It's no more stereotypical than Trinny and Susannah are. Which is to say it IS, but screeching TV bitchy media fashion harpies are the same whether they are boys or girls. And rah rah for them in this context of fab telly, so WTF, who cares.

― badger Kitten (badger Kitten), Saturday, 19 June 2004 20:28 (nineteen years ago) link

I thought it was pretty awful. They hadn't even bothered to edit it for UK TV so there were repeated scenes at US ad break moments. It wasn't nearly as entertaining as Fairy Godfathers. I mean, who would you rather see made over, an artist or a PIG FARMER?

― Madchen (Madchen), Sunday, 20 June 2004 18:26 (nineteen years ago) link

i thought it was terrific although N is right about the double denim-ing. if anything it should all match no? anyway - i thought carson was genuinely hilarious and that this guy http://www.bravotv.com/images/Queer_Eye_for_the_Straight_Guy/Photos/kyan14.jpg was totally hott.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 20 June 2004 18:47 (nineteen years ago) link

I have the hots for Ted, the cooking guy.

― roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Sunday, 20 June 2004 18:49 (nineteen years ago) link

he's my second choice ;)

cancelled!

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 14 January 2007 01:53 (seventeen years ago) link

wait what happened to steven and chris on designer guys?? i watched it today and three strange men were there instead!! i think one may have been named 'antwon'

― sunny successor agrees: gay dad always trumps slutty mom (katharine), Sunday, 14 January 2007 01:59 (seventeen years ago) link

cancelled!

It was still on? I haven't heard anyone mention it in over a year.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I hadn't watched it for ages and then I saw one where they helped some local community group make over their community hall and it wasn't funny and I think it was supposed to be heartwarming, which I'm not sure any of them can really do. So I'm not surprised.

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Sunday, 14 January 2007 09:10 (seventeen years ago) link

It was canceled a few months ago. A shame.

― A Radio Picture (Rrrickey), Sunday, 14 January 2007 10:09 (seventeen years ago) link

To be relaunched on Channel 4 as Queer Cock for the Straight Jock.
