reprobaytAnd stolen only because I've had this discussion with others about Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
Watching Queer Eye, you'd think the show's massive overhauls occur in a matter of hours.
In fact, they take about three days, chiefly because of the home redesigns. After day one, producers put the guy up in a hotel, and he returns only when his place is finished.
The Fab Five, however, genuinely don't know what they're up against until they arrive at their patient's door. They receive a brief dossier during the car ride over and then have to form a game plan on the spot.
Queer Eye pays for the entire makeover, and the final price tag ranges from $2,500 to nearly $10,000, Collins says, depending on how much the subject could realistically afford. The idea is to fashion for him a lifestyle that he can maintain, thereby heading off a slow, yearlong slide back into style purgatory.
