A hooker in Trenton wants her boots back! (QEftSG thread)

I caught the last half hour of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy this past Sunday. It was the episode with Tom as the Straight Guy.

Bearing in mind I completely missed the first half-hour, I’ve comments:

  1. Tom is HOT! Yummy, scrumptious and cute but mostly HOT.

  2. Why can’t they do a brief synopsis of the progress made during the episode at the end? A split screen before and after would suffice. Yeah, I know I should watch the whole show but I’ve been spoiled by Trading Spaces. With that show, I can come in on the last twenty minutes and not miss a beat.

  3. His girlfriend seemed like such a bitch! Now, from what I understand, dude’s house was a pigsty so for all I know she may have put up with a whole lot but still! That and she seriously needed a wardrobe make-over. I loved the snarky comments the Fab Five were making about her.

  4. I love this show and plan on watching it when it originally airs instead of catching the reruns when channel surfing.

  5. Does it make me a bad person that, as a rule, I will not watch any reality TV shows, especially couple ones but I’m strongly considering watching Boy Meets Boy?

I really liked it when Carson said, in response to something trashy the girlfriend said or did, “When she’s not driving an 18 wheeler, in her spare time she enjoys…”

I want to be friends with all those guys. How much fun would that be! Kyan, especially - he really gets into those hair products.
And I think they are all genuinely happy when things turn out well for the person. I’m gonna keep watching it, as long as it’s around.

I really like this show. And, yes, I was counting my blessings when Boots was swinging around over that teddy bear incident.

I dunno, the show just gives me a good feeling in general. They seem like genuinely nice guys.

I can’t believe Television without Pity is not covering this show!

I was hooked when Carson did a Mommie! On the first episode, he found a jockstrap, clutched it and cried “This jock is NOT CLEEEEEEEAAN!” I can’t wait until he tells someone that if they’re going to clean the floor, they must move the tree, or that he’s not mad at them, he’s mad at the dirt.

And when he did the fainting fall as he walked in to the guy’s newly cleaned and decorated living room on the second episode, I knew then that it was the only show I’d ever need. Also, I nearly wet myself when he said cheerfully “Oh! You put a living room where the crack den used to be!” Now THAT’S must-see TV.

Plus the guy who does the hair is just gorgeous. I wish they’d come to my place and just hang out and we could all watch “Baby Jane” over and over, and make tremendous fun of people (in a good-natured way, of course). They’re all my new make-believe boyfriends (even though I’m a married woman. Is that ok?)

i really enjoyed this show so far. i have control of the cable tomorrow and can’t wait for the next episode. the guy getting the make over really warms up to the five guys as the show goes on. i’ll bet the 5 days are chock full of fun.

i thought it was interesting that the women at brian’s art show all went gaa-gaa.

adam’s toast to his wife was wonderful.

tom should have women swarming around him now.

great show!

I caught the show for the first time this weekend and laughed myself silly. It’s just plain fun. I wasn’t planning to watch Boy Meets Boy, but this show made me want to at least give it a try.

Eve - there are no recaps on Television without Pity, but there is a very active forum discussion. It’s in the Reality Show forum section.

For the record, his pigsty made my pigsty look gooood. He had used food dishes under the couch. That about sums it up.

I breathed a sigh of relief. I was worried that if there was ever a spinoff where the fab five made over a female slob, that I would be picked. But at least, I don’t hide food dishes under my sofa.

They intersperse flashbacks at various stages.

And as I note in every QEFTSG thread, my sweet sweet Kyan is off-limits to all y’all!

Otto, I don’t want to steal him from you. I just want him to be platonic gay husband. You can have him for sex and all that.

Re: Brian. Before, I wouldn’t have touched him with a forty-nine-a-half-foot pole. I would have given him a wide berth on the sidewalk. After, I wanted to love him. These guys are the real League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!

Don’t make me hurt you.

The thing is I can’t not watch this show. I’ve seen every ep at least three times, and some more than that. I even watched the chopped-down version NBC showed on Thursday. I must watch, I have no power over it.

Hands-down the best show on TV. I’m already laughing during the “put their shades on” opening credits scene.

I have a gay friend who is the doppleganger of Ted Allen, the food and wine guy. Same glasses, same droll sense of humor, same life-consuming love of all food and wine. And his name is also Ted. It’s kinda spooky, actually.
