"Queer Eye" NOT Canceled

1. Sorry to hear it.

2. Um, that has got to be wrong. I spoke to someone from QE last month and he told me they were wrapping up stuff on the final episode for the series. I think also that will be the 100th show and they decided that was a good stopping point, but I could be wrong on the 100 part. I do know for sure that he told me they were done.

3. I would love to see them bring back "Queer Eye," except replacing the gay guys with straight women and have the straight women help the gay guys out with their boyfriend troubles. I would recommend the tv talk show hostess Windy Moore as a candidate for this type of commentary -- she's very bouncy!

4. no this is not true. i have a close friend that works on the show and they have completely wrapped up.

5. That's insane. The show has ceased production two months ago and all the guys are really busy with new projects lined up for months into the future. Jai did a gig at Club xl in Chelsea in late June, which the rest of the Fab Five attended, and they all talked about having filmed their last ever episode in such a way as to make pretty darn clear the show had ended for good and they were not unhappy about it.

The only possibilities I can think of are
1) Bravo are flat out lying.
2) Bravo intend to do a new season with a new Fab Five.
3) There are contract re-negotiations going on or Bravo thinks the guys will re-negotiate.

6. Louisi, you're right. I remember Jai did say the final episode was the 100th.

7. who gives a rats ass? they are the worst example of gay men ever. Kyan or Eddie to use his real name used to be a "massage therapist" wink, wink, before he did that show and had an old man in the village paying his bills. He did the same thing at school in New Orleans with some other old guy.I've never seen a bunch of sorrier stereotypical gay guys in my life. I've had the chance to sleep with 3 of them and laughed at each of them. My partners have to at least look good.

8. Thank God...it's canceled...as a gay man, they were some of the worse role models.

10. I think they're just being disingenuous. It's already been widely reported that the episodes filmed earlier this year will continue to air until 2007 (there is always a lag of 6 months - a year between episodes taping and being aired).
Did you notice nowhere in the rebuttal does it actually deny that the show has been cancelled?

New episodes will continue to air for a while, yes. The show will air into 2007, yes. But the show finished filming for good two months ago and is never coming back. Bravo can prevaricate all they like, but the Fab Five aren't hiding the fact they're through with the show. Bravo should just be honest. How are they going to look next year when the final airs and every realizes "oh, they did finish filming last summer. Guess Bravo did lie."

11. Thank god it is over. I agree with what some of the others have said. This show was a step back for the gay movement by harping on all the stereotypes that we try and overcome. Maybe now the star' 15 minutes of fame will end and we never have to see Carson and his bad fashion sense again.

12. I disagree with comments saying that the show perpetuated gay stereotypes.

Forget "Will & Grace," this show really opened the door for more gay characters, especially in reality television, to be open about their sexuality and actually EXPRESS their sexuality. In three short years they've opened the door for the world to accept Reichen & Chip winning Amazing Race, my biggoted father for one and for gay people to talk about their boyfriends in an open manner.

If you haven't seen "Work Out," as vapid as most if it is, you should check out how open they are about their sexuality. We're actually seeing the inner-workings of a lesbian relationship, the likes of which we've never seen on television before.

If you didn't see this week's episode of QE, they helped a transgendered young man ease into his life as a young man with a raw, informative look into the world or being transgendered. It was quite touching.

Let US not perpetuate the stereotype by being caddy and bitchy about something that was only positive for all of us.

13. I think these guys showed they ARE great role models by just having the courage to be who they are, with no apologies.
