Tszuj-It! -- A Fab Five Fansite

Q&A
Rumors

If you have any questions about Queer Eye or the Fab Five, or you are looking for info on a rumor, e-mail.

#1 What is Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy is the hit, Emmy-winning reality TVshow on Bravo. Each week, five gay men makeover, or 'make better' a somewhat clueless straight guy who wishes to change his home, his clothes, and his life to be "all that he can be." The baby of Scout Productions, more specifically David Collins and David Metzler ('The Daves").

#2 How can I contact the Fab Five?
Carson and Ted's official sites have fan e-mail addresses set up (and they do answer). Jai can be contacted via his MySpace.

#3 Has Queer Eye been canceled?
Yes, the last episode of Queer Eye was taped in June 2006. The final ten episodes will air sometime in 2007.

#4a Don't tell me this show really takes place over one day!
Each episode of Queer Eye takes four days. The first day (Tuesday) they meet the guy and "de-straighten" him (not literally), the second day shopping, the third day they prepare him for his event, which happens on the Friday. The reveal - the Fab Five watching the event - is taped later. The home makeover takes two and a half days.

#5b Then why do they say it takes one day?
They say it takes "one gay day." It's sort of a in-joke.

#6 Who pays for everything?
Scout has a budget for each show, plus a lot of things you see are donated by the company for the publicity they will receive.

#7 How can I be on the show?
Queer Eye is no longer being made, so you cannot apply to be on the show.

#8 Do they really do the cleaning? Does Thom really do all that decorating himself?
Thom has a small team to help him. But yes, he really is involved in the decorating. They don't really clean the dirty houses, though.

#9 What the hell is 'tszuj'?
Pronounced "joosh," tszuj means to "finesse, tweak, rearrange and make better." It's a word Carson picked up working for Ralph Lauren.


#10 Who are the Fab Five?
The Fab Five are: Carson Kressley - Fashion, Kyan Douglas - Grooming, Thom Filicia - Interior Design, Ted Allen - Food and Wine and Jai Rodriguez - Culture.
