spray, delay, and walk away

[orangerful]

Did you guys see there is a new Queer Eye for the Straight Guy on Netflix?

I literally turned on my tv to find something to watch with my breakfast, the trailer started to autoplay and I was like "oh my god, another reboot that is so **PLAY**"

Because while I have never been a big fan of reality TV or makeover shows, I have fond memories of watching the original Queer Eye. It felt so **edgy** at the time to be watching this ridiculous show with these somewhat stereotypical gay men running around everywhere.

I've only watched the first two episodes, but I'm really impressed with it so far. The spirit of the show is just right. And I feel like they have more insightful moments with the Straight Guy, at least in the first two, that really made me start to get a little emotional.

Plus, all of these guys are pretty easy on the eyes, even if I know they don't go my way:



And in the second episode, one of them references the original show and how to apply cologne with the "spray, delay, and walk away" and I totally remember that moment from the original show.

I stumbled upon the show so I haven't seen any commentary or responses to it yet. Has anyone else watched it?

I've only seen the first episode but I also thought it was a very warm and sweet show (I used to watch the original regularly). I've seen a few good reviews but haven't seen anyone else on DW mention it.

I hadn't heard of the show before. Just looked it up. Interesting concept! It does bother me a bit that it seems to be based on stereotypes. (But at least they're positive ones! I'm sure it's very fun and cute.)

Did you never see/hear of the original that was on in the early 2000s???

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Nope. I was only thirteen in 2003, so maybe that sort of explains it? And I'm not sure if they showed it in Latvia.

Oh duh yes that makes sense. :) The new show is really fun, I just finished the last episode and I'm tempted to just rewatch it which seems ridiculous for a reality show but they were just so much fun. They really got into some deeper conversations in the later episodes, I was surprised!

Yay!
