I managed to watch 2 episodes of the show Queer Eye For The Straight Guy! Which was so cool, as coincidentally, I've been reading their book. It's one thing to read the book, and another to watch the show itself. The show is banned here in Singapore, most likely than not, bcos it features five gay guys. Being banned, it makes it all the more satisfying to have watched it. It was on an Indonesian channel, the name of which I've forgotten.
It's a makeover kind of thing. To quote their book: 'Five eminently stylish and hilariously witty gay men - authoritative experts in food and wine, grooming, decorating, fashion, and culture - invade your life, assess your strenghts and weaknesses, and in the course of a day, make you better dressed, better groomed, better mannered, and a better cook, living in a better home.. This is what the Queer Eye does each week on one of the hottest TV shows in memory, as the Fab 5... turn an everyman frog into an every-girl's-dream prince'.
Having watched the show, I don't see why it's banned thou. It's not like it's a show full of PDA - public display of affection - among the Fab 5. In each episode, the Fab 5 basically goes thru with the guy in question on how to be more 'refined', so to speak. It's such a waste that Singapore guys don't get to watch it, and in so doing, not able to sponge off whatever useful nuggets of info that the Fab 5 dispenses in each epi. Sigh...
