Survey Finds 'Queer Eye' Affects Shopping
(Thursday, December 04 12:26 PM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - A new survey of shoppers suggests that there may be a Fab Five Effect in the nation's spending habits.

The survey of more than 2,600 shoppers at malls in seven major cities found that men were five times more likely than women to go shopping on Wednesdays following a new episode of Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." (The show airs Tuesday nights.) Nearly half of the men surveyed said they shop with another guy on post-"Queer Eye" Wednesdays, as opposed to just 12 percent who do so on other days.

What's more, shoppers said "Queer Eye" fashion maven Carson Kressley was more likely than any other celebrity endorser to have a positive influence on their shopping decisions.

This is great. I assume that men didn't have much to go on before this show and now they are shopping for pants without pleats and shaving products. I wonder how many have converted to shaving with the grain.

oh, i do hate those pants with shaving products, although pants with pleats don't bother me if the guy is slim enough to have pleats and not 'puffs'!
LOL:)

i wonder if guys are taking their time to shave, too. it always bothered the fab 5 to watch them speed shave!

Wonder if the sale of nose hair trimmers has gone up since Kyan is such a freak for that! LOL

The first time I ever watched QE was on Thursday when they had the big marathon!

Now, i'm not sure if I get it here back home, but either way, I loved it!!

Edited to add - Yeah for NBC!! 11pm on Sundays!!

Neko,
Did you see it last night with the real estate guy and his girlfriend and the parents? I was hysterical when he was banging the cookie cutter with a book to cut out the bread shapes, wiping the sweat off himself and then using it on the food/dishes, eating the parmesean off his shoe, and pouring way too much booze in the parents'drinks.

The show with "real estate guy" is a complete sham. The guy is a standup comic. If you look back in posts it has been discussed. Other than that one episode the show is GREAT!!!!!!!

Oh, that's interesting. I dont't have Bravo so I just get to watch the ones that re-air on NBC. I was wondering why Katie was with such a loser. These shows - you never know who is real or who is an actor

Apparently NBC will be showing three back to back episodes of Queer Eye on February 1st, to air while the Superbowl is on. I don't know if they'll be repeats or new shows.

What's up with Queer Eye? Is Bravo intentionally trying to kill the show that put the network in the mainstream? They keep repeating and repeating episodes. I think that when the show finally has fresh episodes, everyone will have forgotten about it. Or enough people, anyhow.

I agree that the repeats are killing the show. Last night I noticed my Tivo was recording something at 9:45 and I couldn't remember what it was. I turned on the TV, saw QE, and then remembered I hadn't tuned into that for 3 weeks.

Yeah, that stunned me too.. Bravo made such a hoop-de-do about new episodes before the holidays only to show 3 new ones..

OK, so I take it they live in a condo where they can rip walls,and rearrange doors? I got so confused, but as usuall the room was amazing!! (ROFLOL at teaching a grown man to do toilets, I think they'd be better off giving them the number of a maid service!!) I cant imagine the smells, its the first time the Fab5 referred to it, makes me wonder why they picked him, he turned out better than I imagined (a strip club worker, come on, no accounting for taste!!)

I didn't see the show--as predicted, I forgot it was going to be a new episode. Was it any good?

It was pretty good. You know you'll get 100 more chances to see it, so just don't forget to see next week's episode

I did keep hoping that they would make him shave most of his face...he was a great looking guy but he looked like a pirate!

I totally agree about the shaving,he would have looked so much better clean shaven.
