The premiere of Queer Eye For the Straight Guy lived up to quality of the shows of last season. They stuck with the formula of what they went with last season; the only change being they have a new loft space in which the boys watch the outcome of what they've done.
Jeff T. was the victim. He was a former model turned Grizzly Adams (He had a full beard and long hair). The Fab 5 brought Jeff's teenage daughter along with them on some of the excursions. She was loving it! It seems as if she was greatly appreciating fun cultured people.
They cut Jeff's hair and shaved off the beard and mustache. It's revealed that he has no lips. His wife is thrilled with the transformation, she got her old hot husband back.
The boys were as witty as usual - Carson of course being the wittiest. While some of the barbs can be a little on the cruel side, you know what you're in for if you've signed up to be on the show. Kyan seemed a little dull this episode (other people pointed out that he's cute, but he doesn't seem to be that bright). Ted was hilarious trying to do some actual fishing. Thom, who is my least favorite personality wise, was actually funny at times in this episode. I must give Thom props though for the rooms he creates; he hasn't had an ugly one yet. Carson does know his fashion, but unfortunately doesn't know how to dress himself tastefully. His humor makes up for his own lack of fashion sense. I loved that he dubbed Jeff's daughter Christina as an official C.I.T. (for "Carson In Training"). Poor Jai. Once again he had nothing to do in this episode other than give Jeff a picture frame,
What I admire most about the show, is the fact that the makeovers always keep the individual's own lifestyle, taste, and budget in mind. The dressed Jeff in Orvitz as opposed to Prada. They also purchase items that the person would be able to purchase themselves. This is very important, especially in the wardrobe area. It has to be affordable for the person who is being made over, in order for them to keep up the new look. They also kept the style, feel and personality of the homes or apartments intact, as opposed to doing something like Hildy or Doug would do on Trading Spaces.
Looking forward to the next 39 episodes of the new season.
