Emlah, you are correct! (I'd say the early returns -- from people who are still watching Angel -- is favorable, but then it's a Joss episode.)

It was everything I hoped it would be and more!
Oh, but it was, wasn't it? I was amazed by how great that guy looked after they were finished with him--completely unrecognisable (and the Fab Five's commentary on his friends' reactions was utterly priceless). Not looking forward to the switch-over to the Aussie version, though--don't think they'll be able to pull off the same sort of dynamic twice, but one can dream, I suppose.
musn't look musn't look musn't spoil musn't spoil...
But whoring is so fun! t /pimp This year I'm giving up all pretense of being patient and just downloading the episodes. No self-control at all.

I really liked Queer Eye too. What everyone has been saying about it is true--they took notice of what the guy wanted, worked around his existing likes and needs etc--but I was also pleasantly surprised by the dirty talk! I thought the gay guys might have been completely desexualised to render them less threatening, but not at all.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was pleased and vindicated recently when they took a Queer Eye specimen to H & M. That is where I get my $4 t-shirts! The guy was an incredible cheapskate, so it was the perfect place for him.

There's one or two guys who joke and act mildly uncomfortable. Mostly, though, they take the jokey innuendoes in really good style, and some give back as good as they get.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Was that the guy that TWOP was outing as a famewhore?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Don't know much about TWOP, ita, but he was also the guy who, when the Fab 5 got done critiquing his place, said everything was perfectly fine until they showed up.
That + cheapskate told me that guy didn't really want to change anything. He just wanted a bunch of free stuff. Or publicity.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So I go over to TWoP to see what I can find, and in the Smallville recaplet I come across this gem (whitefonted just in case):
"How will Bo stop Clark next week? My best guess: A massive bovine army."

Not to mention that he seemed to have taken nothing in. (Though that did make it, to me, the funniest ep yet.)

And also the saddest, with the martini shaker.
