    Still as entertaining and enjoyable as when it first began. The guys have maintained an engaging rapport and a winning sense of humor, no matter what straight guy crosses their paths! And the "brotherhood" and true camaraderie that exists amongst the five is to be commended.....as so many reality shows bring out the worst in others, THIS show only focuses on the BEST. I am so looking forward to the new season as they branch out....The wedding episodes were heart-warming and touching but the new ones shot in Vegas look like they're gonna be a blast...As they approach a landmark 100th episode, I hope fans continue to support their endeavors and appreciate EACH of their talents.

    QE is an interesting and markedly different way of looking at the Reality and Makeover subgenre.The so-called 'victims' appearing in QEFTSG appear willingly, and despite being harangued in a playful manner over their cleanliness, fashion sense and the contents of their fridge, they emerge from this show as more confident and more mature people. This is a show with lasting effects, not just for the wardrobe and the home, but for the lifestyle.The Fab Five are not about tearing a person's confidence to shreds and dressing them like a doll, as we have seen in some of the lesser makeover shows (What Not To Wear, Extreme Makeovers). The subjects are listened to, they are counselled and delivered back to their partners and friends as better versions of themselves. No more bad haircut, no more dangerous living conditions. Think of the difference between wearing makeup and wearing a mask. This is the difference between QE and other makeover shows.Thom Filicia in particular, handles the design of the subjects home in a way that no other reality show decorator does. His designs, furniture and decor choices reflect the person living in them. He extols the virtues of using your living space as you want to use it. Don't eat at the the table? Then don't have a dining room. Use the computer a lot? Put it in the lounge. And always, put your personality and your own stamp on the rooms. Watch Thom work a room, and you will forever see Changing Rooms and other interior makeovers as severely lacking.QE never has one of those awkward 'reveal' moments where you can tell that someone hates what the makeover team have done. They are roundly thanked, sometimes tearfully, by the straight men they transform from ugly ducklings to 21st century swans. I have yet to see one person show any distaste at the changes made to their life. The response is always, as it should be. A heartfelt 'thankyou'.

    When i first heard about the show, I thought of it only as an attempt to boost the ratings on bravo, since in my own opinion i think bravo doesnt play good movies or tv shows. I tuned in to one in particular that supports my reasoning. The episode had a rather attractive guy who wanted to propose to his girlfriend. The fab 5 did an astounding job for this man. The one that specializes in the cooking taught him to make a chocolate box and told him to put the ring in the box along with some pretty yummy chocolates. I thought that was very creative and wanted to see what other types of ideas that they have for the future, and have been tuning in lately. The only downside to the show for me was Jai, the culture guy. I dont really think he was a good idea, I mean he's a cutie and all, but he didnt really blend well. All the needed 4 main ideas were already taken. And now Jai is gone and they have that new guy that i dont really pay too much attention too because i focus on the other 4 for their impectable tastes in fashions and interior designs. What does that new guy do? (B+ B)
