Groundbreaking reality make-over show Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has been cancelled after three seasons--but the stars of the show insist they are still a huge hit with celebrities. The show features five gay men who make-over unstylish straight men each week on the Bravo network, and since hitting the screen the camp stylists have been asked to revamp the homes of stars including Jennifer Lopez.
Queer Eye member Jai Rodriguez says the show won't be returning for another season, explaining, "Well, we haven't been asked back for 2007.
"It's only been three years, but it feels like so much more due to the overexposure. I started when I was 23. In that first year, I was on Oprah's couch.
"I was on Ellen (DeGeneres). People recognized me. J. Lo is a huge fan of ours. (Queer Eye member Thom Filicia) just re-did her house."
The show recently broke new ground again by making over Miles, a transgendered man.
Rodriguez adds, "Maybe this is how we are going out with a bang. Everyone (in the group) has big new projects.
"I'm working on a TV show and a movie in the fall. We just had a tour of the Philippines. We are huge there. Like Michael Jackson in 1983."
It was a a fun show, but repetitive- the same "dressing, cooking, decorating" process every week. Like "What Not To Wear" - if it's 40 minutes past the hour, you know they've finished shopping for new clothes, and now it's time for clothes and makeup! It's time for that one to end,too.
I met someone years ago who called himself a tri-sexual--he'd try anything.
How long before a sad story appears on 'Dateline' or 'Primetime' where one of these idiots has AIDS?
Or, perhaps you are named after a highway, Hershey?
I don't think they used make-up in that photo.....
However it doesn't stop there, they are giving advice on everything now. Give us all a break!
Good luck with that. A generation or two has already been ruined.
The women are already starting to figure it all out.
Hell yes to manliness. I just defeated an entire platoon of crab people this morning, thanks to the raggedy beard I'm growing.
I want them to bring back straight eye for the queer guy. Now that was some good tv.
I can't explain it, but my wife loves the show.

Queer Eye takes it in the brown eye.
It seems like if gay men are giving them advice it would have to be to attract gay men, which straight men arent interested in.
I would much rather have the advice of a female if I was interested in a makeover.
lol At them designing clothes to make women look bad, wouldnt surprise me. Ive heard them talk worse about women than any heartbroken divorced guy could even come close to.
I heard that it's gonna be replaced by 'Black Eye for the White Guy'.
"I was on Ellen (DeGeneres). People recognized me. J. Lo is a huge fan of ours. (Queer Eye member Thom Filicia) just re-did her house."
Wowwee! The pinnacle of suckcess!!
The show recently broke new ground again by making over Miles, a transgendered man.
Which was, in the end, the final nail in the coffin.
