Everyone loves the power of a good makeover, but Queer Eye takes that idea and really runs with it, creating moving and powerful episodes that fans have gone wild for. No matter what season it is or where the Fab Five are, they're always responsible for amazing inner and outer transformations.
It's not a flawless reality show, but that's true of any show that is part of any genre. Queer Eye is a fan favorite and for good reason as it has really taken the pop culture world by (fashionable) storm. While viewers have made sure that they never skipped an episode, they might not know everything there is to know about the series and its stars.
Antoni Was A Psychology Major
The Fab Five is the perfect combination of hilarious and serious. Every cast member plays a crucial role, and the culinary expert is a major part of every episode since many of the people being helped aren't used to cooking big meals all the time.

That makes sense since Bobby is such an amazing designer and no matter what kind of home he's working with, he always manages to knock it totally out of the park.
Bobby Wants To Film In The UK
According to an interview he did with Digital Spy, Bobby wants to film the show in the UK.
That's a great ideas as the show did one season where the Fab Five went to Japan, and fans would definitely be eager to see the cast help more people all over the world.
Tan Wanted To Leave The Show Early On

Everyone Was Chosen For The Fab Five Before Antoni

Danielle Gervais, who was the casting director, was interviewed by CNN and said, "then Antoni came in and all of a sudden it was the five of them. It was like putting together a magic puzzle."
Jonathan Has A Skin Condition Called Psoriasis
Jonathan Van Ness has shared that he has psoriasis, a skin condition, and this has enabled him to become the skin expert that he is today.
Jonathan definitely gives great advice to each hero about how to take care of their skin and what products they should use when washing their face as part of their morning and evening routines.
Back In The First Season, The Feeling Was That Karamo Shouldn't Have So Much "Therapy
Karamo Brown does an incredible job talking to the heroes on Queer Eye. He really helps them get to the heart of what's holding them back from living their best lives and it's so sweet and emotional to watch.
According to Buzzfeed, Karamo got a note back in the first season to "cut back on the therapy stuff." Because he believed in what his part on the series was, everything worked out okay and it was decided that he could continue.
The Beloved Dog Bruley Was A Producer's

Karamo Says He And Antoni Ignored Each Other At First
It seems like the Fab Five get along so well but that wasn't always the case. Karamo says that he and Antoni ignored each other in the first season.
Karamo said, "My castmate from Queer Eye, Antoni, people didn't know that we had an extreme amount of conflict. We did not talk to each other at all during season 1, even though we were shooting together." Karamo says a "third party" got involved and that's why they didn't like each other, but no one knows why they really argued so much.
The Fab Five Don't Choose The Heroes
Fans might wonder if the Fab Five look at possible cast for the show and choose them, but that's not the case at all. According to Insider.com, they don't pick them so it's "authentic." That definitely makes sense, as that would change how each episode felt.
