About the shaving.. Even if the guys are fans of the show and do watch it,many of them still get complained about for using "up" strokes.. Why doesn't Kyan just remind them to shave with the grain when he's in the bathroom with them discussing hair products??

Oh darn...I missed the new episode. It's been in repeats for so long that I haven't bothered to watch the show. The cast guested on Charlie Rose's show the other night and that's what reminded me to check this thread.

Did anyone watch it last night, with the stand up comedian with the unfortunate chin? His apartment was insane, but the proposal was very romantic.

OK I guess this craze has gone by the wayside. Anyway if anyone at all watched, I was wondering about the engagement ring going on her right hand? Do you think that was accidental or intentional? And why?

Hi Madelane, I saw it, but I couldn't really get into it as the house was so "insane" as you put it!! I know the guy had OCD but I did feel he was taking advantage of our fab five to get them to clean up! The girl was Polish I think, so I expect Poland has the tradition of wedding rings on their right hand, a lot of countries do.

Your first point I totally agree with, I was like, clean up your own damn house you ingrate! And your second was brilliant, I never would have thought of that. I'm glad you watched it too!

His place was horrible but they were so hilarious in it. I watch just to hear the comments they make before the makeover!

Yeah, I like the fact that they say whatever they want at the end, they tend not to hold back! Abd, of course, I'm still in love with Kyan .

LOL...Yes that guy had SUCH a weak chin...he was one of the few men who were better off with a goatee. but if I was having a sleepover I would want Carson there...that man could make the dead roll over in their grave with laughter.

Queer Eye jumped the shark last night. They went furniture shopping at IKEA, fer gawd's sake! I don't think I can watch it again.

I have to say the new episodes have been bleh. It's like they go looking for the biggest slob they can dig up and redo his house. The guy last night didn't even take a shower after his makeover! Not that it was much of a makeover. What happened to the married guys,or the cute guys hidden by hair? I'm getting tired of hearing how bad these slobs' apartments smell every week.

Hippy, if it's any consolation, I went to the Bravo site today to complain about the show and I watched a preview of next week. Hot guy alert! Hot guy alert!

My thoughts exactly Hippyt! Those first shows with that Greek guy and the gorgeous one who proposed were soooo good compared to this season. The ice skater guy does look like he has potential....

Get this: Queer eye had GREAT ratings on Tuesday night. Why? I just don't get it. I still think next week's might be good. That man is some eye candy.

I remembered about this show in time to see the last half-hour of the musical theater fellow. He seemed nice enough but I still though it was rather blah. Had figured that was just because I had missed the beginning. At least it was fun to watch Hunter Foster (think it was him) and the other performers during the workshop. As a non-New Yorker, it’s always a treat to see stage actors I usually only read about or hear on cast albums. The preview for next week was kinda eye-catching!

They probably got good ratings because everyone has been really hungry for a NEW episode. I agree, the guy next week does seem hot and interesting! I can just hear all the jokes by Carson regarding a "straight ice skater!" LOL

Next week is John Zimmerman, former US figure skating pairs champion with his partner Kyoka Ina. Last summer John married Italian ladies champion Sylvia Fontana. Ina and Zimmerman now skate professionally with Stars on Ice. Zimmerman is ice skating's sexy stud, who has also modeled. At his level of skating, he is most likely not poor. What is he doing on this show? He does not need a personal makeover. He has coaches and managers, and probably publicists and image advisors. Obviously, he's doing it for the publicity, and Queer Eye is doing him for the ratings. There's something sort of dishonest about using quasi celebrities who obviously don't need a makeover.

Pen - I agree. It's the same with the new "Bachelor." Like a NFL quarterback needs help meeting girls? Puleeeeeze. I'd much rather see just a regular person.

I liked this weeks show. Yes, it's not as dramatic when the guy doesn't get a haircut, but I enjoyed the theater part. I also liked seeing Ted do some realistic food. The only thing that bothered me was they were carrying UNCOVERED food through the streets of New York! LOL

Does it bother anyone else that Queer Eye continues the deceit that each makeover is accomplished in one day? Do they really think anyone believes that furniture can be picked out, ordered, delivered, and assembled/installed in a matter of hours? In many of the episodes it would take a day just to empty out the trash that fills those apartments!

They really should just say something to the effect of, "Look what we've accomplished in just a week!" I think we've all heard them on different TV shows saying it takes 5-7 days to do these things. And of course, there has to be a CREW to clean those dumps out. There's no way that the place can be done by just them, esp. just one of them for the most part. I know it would take away some of the fantasy, but eh, we're not that dumb.

Well, the gentleman on last night's show was certainly handsome and he seemed very romantic too. I really like it when the Fab 5 have to do serious makeovers, though, unlike last night. Let's face it, the guy was really good looking and I like when I see a transformation in grooming/style more than anything. That's not to say that I don't appreciate what they do in apartments, but there is something about the Fab 5's involvement with the corporeality of it all--the skin, the hair, the excess hair, the hiding of flaws, the accentuation of strong points--that makes the show more rewarding. In a way, this episode was simply too easy. I have always thought the food guy's job was as silly as Jai's--I like dJai's idea laast night about putting a towel in the dryer when his wife takes a shower!--and last night proved it. Of all the things a man needs to know how to do in the kitchen, of all the possible skills to teach, making homemade pasta has to be down at about #250. I love my Martha moments and even *I* don't have a pasta maker! I understand the idea that this is a tradition he can pass down, but for pete's sake...he won't use it more than once every couple months. [I should know. I got a ricer to use when I want to make gnocchi and I have used it precisely twice.] I liked the furniture though. But did they have to get a piece of "art" from IKEA?! Why this sudden IKEA connection?

I loved tonite's show. I got so tickled at how touched the Fab 5 were by everything. They really seemed to like the couple. The making pasta seemed like a gesture that really meant alot to her since she was so touched and cried.

I really liked this episode as well. What a great couple! He appeared totally smitten with her and she was so sweet to him. Tishala: You're making me think of Fight Club with your disdain for Ikea, lol. I've never been to one of their stores myself.
