"QUEER Eye for the STRAIGHT Guy:" Who loves it? Who Loathes?

[GalleryGod]

I think that it is :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: FABulous! That the Show,concept and the "FAB 5" are terrific!:toast: :party: B-) YOUR Thoughts??

[muchacho]

1. The REAL homosexual agenda.

Community service for the terminally hetero.

[GalleryGod]

2. EXcellent!

I check out the website and SHOP at these places! Better than having to hire a consultant!

[molly]

7. What website?

[GalleryGod]

9. BRAVOTV.com

Then go to the Queer Eye Icon!:silly:

[Throckmorton]

3. I loved it, I wish they would stop by and give Mrs T a hint or 20

Plastic plants in the bathroom, always my pet peeve too.

[arwalden]

4. Can You Believe That They Haven't Even (Not ONCE) Tried To...

... install track lighting in someone's home or apartment.

My gay manual and handbook must be out of date.

6. Allen! Get the 21st Century Manual! LOL!

Jai suggested track lighting in the Vincent Taylor (Cleftones Back-up singer) episode.:silly:

[GalleryGod]

11. Jai's Off Broadway this Summer!

Starring in "Zanna Don't" ( as opposed to "XANADU"):party: :toast: :bounce:

12. and not one of them is named

Mark Rick or Steve? What's up with that? (Although one shares MY name, spelling and all:-))

[molly]

5. I've never seen it, but I had the TV on in the kitchen

and Wolf Blitzer interviewed them - looks like a great show. I'll have to check the listings to see when it is on.

[GalleryGod]

8. I bet you Homo-Phobe Wolfie's Sphincter-Was-Pulsating!

:puke: Bet you he SPRINTED thru THAT Interview! Closet Queen Locker Room Ass-Grabber,BJ Giver!:thumbsdown:

[GalleryGod]

10. TUESDAY Nites @ 10 PM! Leno Makeover on THURSDAY NITE

They ought Gang Rape him to conclude the "makeover":think: :bounce: :evilgrin:

[unfrigginreal]

13. Some of the funniest TV that I've seen

Also putting out the right messages. Each episode starts with the reluctant straight guy that you could put a word balloon on that says "What the fuck have I gotten myself into?" And inevitably they warm up to the Fab 5, become respectful of their knowledge, and always praise them in the end for all of the help.

I'm hooked.

[thom1102]

14. Loved the one where the straight guy cried,

because of all the help they gave him.

[unfrigginreal]

15. And wasn't he one hot so-and-so!

n/t

[thom1102]

16. mmm hmmm, you know he was!

[radwriter0555]

17. HEY! That's a FAIR AND BALANCED HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA

dammit!

[goddess40]

18. Love to watch my hubby squirm

He doesn't try to be a homophobe and he is getting better. My cousin just came out so he (my hubby) better get up to speed quick.

[catpower2000]

19. I adore that show...

People here have said that it reinforces stereotypes--I don't find that to be true. I think it BREAKS DOWN stereotypes, especially for the straight guy being "made-better". They always start out terrified and end up grateful and comfortable with the general gay fabulousness.

Plus, as a straight woman, every one of those guys looks SO HOT afterward--thank GOD for the Fab 5! :evilgrin:

20. Never seen the whole thing

since I don't have cable. Just the sanitized version on NBC.

But what I've seen looks hilariously entertaining. And let's face it, these guys can use the help! :D

I perfer this type of reality programming. Nobody is getting humiliated, or put down, or deeply embarrassed in a major way.

edit: besides, I could use a makeover myself.

*Paging Christopher Lowell!*

[thom1102]

21. I think this thursday they are showing the entire hour on NBC

And it is the one with the absolute hottie who cries because of all the help they gave him.

[skypilot]

22. Swore off of it after...

...the first episode where the one gay man sniffed the straight guy's jock strap. I'm gay and I wasn't amused.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. I Am Addicted to It

I think it's a great show! I wish they would make over women too-I'd love them to come over and re-decorate!

[Skinner]

24. Saw it for the first time last night. Hilarious.

Lots of good tips. ;-) My wife was suggesting that I might need a little "manscaping".

[greekspeak]

25. I have not seen it

And I doubt I will with my PhD program coming into full swing next week. But it sounds like either 1) tokenism and/or 2) spoonfeeding stereotypes to the public. I have a lot of stereotypical behaviors, but I am getting tired of this stereotype of "gay men want to make over your house and wardrobe." I want to makeover MY OWN house and wardrobe!

[GOPisEvil]

26. Nothing like slamming something you've never seen.

:eyes:

[GalleryGod]

27. I KNOW you dig-it,GOP!

Gettin' all those coooooooool grooming tips!:thumbsup: :hi: :thumbsup:

[geniph]

28. Love it!

I think it's very sweet...the guys are amusingly appalled by the horrors they witness, but NEVER mean about it or patronizing. And wow, they work MIRACLES.

Besides, they're so damn funny - and it doesn't hurt that a couple of them are just toooooo gorgeous to be believed (Kyan has my vote, but Jai is just as cute as a bug's ear).

Plus I get some good ideas from the show.

[geniph]

29. Also, I'll bet Thom

will never have any problem getting customers for his interior design business from now on - that guy is truly the Annie Sullivan of interior design!

[buff2]

30. I love it!

I think it's a great show. The fabulous five really know how to dress and decorate. I wish I had them for neighbors. :D
