Queer Eye

During class this week we watched Queer Eye, which was an absolutely fabulous show. It follows 5 gay men helped an individual, always a man, to completely improve their lives. They work on appearance, home, cooking, health, and culture. The team of men referred to as the Fab 5 have a week to help improve the lives of these men.

First of all, I absolutely loved this show. I will be binge-watching the rest of the season as soon as I get home. The Fab 5 are actually hilarious and do a really great job at transforming the lives of these men. The most important aspect of the show is definitely the individual work the team does with the guy they are working with. Without the individuals help and guidance the person wouldn’t be able to make the needed changes to improve their lives. The team does such a good job gently pushing them outside of their comfort zones. They are also really good at analyzing the person and knowing what they would want or like. I really don’t there was anything in the show that I found unimportant or not needed. Every moment was used up perfectly to improve the individual and help them make progress. If I had to pick one aspect that is the least important I would say the beginning when the team is in the car on the way to the individual’s house and they are talking about them. They only reason that I would say that is unimportant is because you eventually would find out all the information about the person on your own without them telling you in the very beginning. I feel as this series really resembles What Not to Wear which used to be on TLC. They would also change multiple aspects of the person, they only difference is that they wouldn’t do anything with their houses. So, this show is kind of a cross between What Not to Wear and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

The humor in this show is way better and it’s not nearly as sappy and emotional as those other shows can be at times.

These ideas could possibly help other people who feel like they are in the same position to be able to help themselves to get out of the negative place they are in. This make the show relevant because it can really help other people. It’s also relevant because by the end of the show you feel as if you have really grown along with them and you feel so happy and excited for them.

Overall, I absolutely loved this show and found it so entertaining to watch. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone!
