if you're a fan of RuPaul's Drag Race
you are likely familiar with this guy
his name is Carson crley Who currently
is a rotating judge on the show
alongside comedian Ross Matthews and I
remember the first time I showed drag
race to my mom she recognized Carson
instantly telling me that he used to be
part of a show called Queer Eye For The
Straight Guy and at the time I didn't
know what that was the original queery
series premiered on Bravo in 2003 and it
featured a group of gay men called The
Fab Five who each specialized in a
different aspect that would lend itself
to a total makeover for a straight man
like fashion and hair as well as some
more Niche stuff like food and wine
interior design and culture the show is
pretty successful even winning a prime
time Emmy Award for outstanding reality
program in 2004 I'd argue that query and
to some extent What Not to Wear its
mean-spirited cousin that also started
airing in 2003 paved the way for the
queer makeover show genre which has more
modern-day examples than you'd think it
would hbos were here dragnificent on TLC
even Trixie Motel to some extent contain
a lot of the tropes that the original
Quai had in which gay people share their
culture wisdom and perspective with
people from various communities who are
less than familiar with them to show
that we are you know not all so
different after all query also got its
very own reboot in 2018 fun fact I
actually met the query guys the year the
show started because they were promoting
the series during a talk show that I was
working on at the time they are all nice
people generally speaking at least to me
Netflix's reboot for queery at first
glance is really cute it captures the
spirit of the original with the same
range of experts that make up the Fab
Five including tan France who handles
style and wardrobe Anthony perowsky who
is the food and wine of ficado Bobby
Burke who does the interior design Kur
Brown who is the culture and lifestyle
expert but it's a long running meme that
he kind of just ends up being
everybody's therapist or motivational
speaker and finally we have Jonathan
vaness who is in charge of grooming
makeup and personal care and many view
them as as the heart of the show for the
record Jonathan vaness is non-binary but
uses any pronouns I haven't seen every
episode of the show but it's good to put
on if you want an easy watch maybe
something cozy that'll make you a little
emotional the banter between the guys is
fun although a lot of the episodes are
spent apart while they all complete
their individual tasks for their
makeover subjects a long running meme is
that Bobby Burke has a lot of
disproportionate work to do over the
others because he has to remodel a whole
house while Anthony you know teaches
somebody how to make a kich part of what
makes que ey work as a show is that you
have to believe the chemistry between
all of the guys because we all know how
badly things can go when you make it
obvious that they you know at one point
were all total strangers who were cast
together for the purposes of a TV show
this is obviously the case with queer
eye but they seem like friends and at
the very least Netflix has provided an
elaborate scop into making us believe
that they're all companions by making
them do all the internet friendly PR
series that you know we all expect them
to do OMG car you're so wise let me buy
your Bible somewhere please buy your
Bible somewhere please I've never seen
it spelled p l i z me um but no Balayage
is great when you need a little balage
moment oh you used to b i bage yeah I
used to bage Bob's hair all of y'all
need to stop no one is going to put a
duvet or a poncho on
it's you live in a poncho duvet you
would love that you're always cold but
earlier this month it was announced that
the Fab Five is no more because Bobby
Burke is departing the show Burke will
appear in season 8 which is going to air
pretty soon but I'm guessing they will
probably recast him if queer ey gets
renewed for a future series Burke wrote
the following statement on Twitter
regarding his departure it's with a
heavy heart that I announc that season 8
will be my final season on queer ey it's
not been an easy decision to be at peace
with but a necessary one although my
journey with query is over my journey
with you is not you will be seeing more
of me very soon now this seems
straightforward enough but it also Al
doesn't sound entirely like it was
normal or an amicable or natural split
depending on whether or not you want to
see drama here you can read too much or
too little into this statement but after
this announcement the speculation
started coming now the first seed of
doubt in the Press came by way of Us
Weekly where a source claimed to the
outlet that Bobby left because quote
there were many challenges with
scheduling and there was a loss of
interest from Bobby filming the show the
network and the cast thought it was time
to bring in fresh blood his heart was
not in it and the rest of the cast
started to resent him because of that
however a Second Source in that same
article was quoted as saying that there
was no drama with the cast and that this
decision was amicable so at this point
it's more of a he said she said they
said story and I wouldn't be making this
video if that speculation simply ended
here but there's a little more of the
story we have to get through the more
hardcore speculation really started
after reports that Bobby Burke
unfollowed Anthony and tan on social
media although it appears that he is
still following kuramo and Jonathan
Vaness now sure that's some typical
celebrity drama non-drama but
additionally kuramo says that he jvn and
Bobby were not invited to Anthony's
bachelor party implying that there may
be some sort of falling out between the
five of them again this is all
speculation but that speculation is not
good for Netflix because as I said
earlier the show only really works if
there's a level of chemistry there that
is believable it doesn't have to be
genuine necessarily I mean I'm pretty
sure the guys from Mythbusters really
didn't like each other and that show
still got on for a while and I would
assume The Producers will probably do a
decent job of not letting all of this
bleed into the final product of the show
but it does Kill the Magic a little bit
if we're being real here because query
has such a wholesome image and I guess I
would just prefer it to stay that way
because let's be real the world is a
nasty ugly place and more naturally
conditioned especially on social media
to look for the tea and the drama and
everything and it does get a little
exhausting and the Rumor Mill continue
to push along with a release of several
Tik toks by someone who claims to have
been around one of the cast members
while all this drama was going down
initially my friend dated one of the
guys from query so when Bobby announced
that he was leaving the show I was not
surprised at all the queer that my
friend that my friend was dating from
the cast was not shy about talking about
any of the cast drama in front of us it
was a little bit surprising hearing all
these stories though because the way
that he described his castmates is so
different than the way that they appear
to be on TV for example one of the cast
members was reported to HR by another
cast member for Relentless sexual
harassment he was basically saying that
they all kind of hated each other but
more specifically that they all hated
Jonathan the worst part is this was at
like this cast member's like pool party
so he had all his sort of like hanger on
type friends there who were like
hardcore sucking his dick and all his
friends were like oh you're the most
famous one on the show for sure like
they were comparing people's status on
the show and I'm just like sitting there
sipping my cocktail thinking baby
Jonathan vaness jvn is the breakout star
of the show there is no competition how
did you get this delusional well I do
completely believe what he was saying
about the essay I don't know if I
believe everything that he was saying
because he honestly was so different
than the character that he portrays to
be on television like he and my friend
he's a former friend that's why I feel
comfortable sharing this story but like
they would go on these like fullon
multi-day drug Benders org's would get
into fights and like blackmail each
other which is like so opposite of who
this person portrays himself to be okay
so even this guy says that the
conversation he was reportedly privy to
may be a little dramatized and
considering all we know about this
demographic and the environment where
this discussion allegedly took place I'd
say yeah that's probably correct as far
as which guy this is a lot of people in
the comments are speculating that it's
either Anthony or Kur and most people
believe it's kuramo because the Creator
in this video mentions a pool party and
kuramo has a pool and apparently loves
pool parties and he's not married like
some of his other co-stars additionally
jvn and Anthony have a business together
which theoretically rules them out as
well or at least makes it less likely
that it was Anthony I also just think
it's funny that when this first dropped
nobody thought it was tan everybody was
like yeah tan is definitely above this
it's definitely not him I also sort
of went down a rabbit hole of people who
have claimed to have worked with met the
query cast at one point or another and a
lot of them are like ah jvn is not a
good person or ooh kuramo is really
shitty to work with and then all of the
replies to those posts are like oh no I
had great experiences with both of them
but Bobby was really standoffish and
weird this kind of thing happens a lot
with famous people and I can say that as
someone who is in the vicinity of famous
people pretty regularly like it's pretty
common for them to have good and bad
days or be exhausted especially if
they're on a big promo tour or something
especially if they're on on a set early
in the morning they're not robots you
know they're people but what's being
described here is a little more Sinister
and dramatic like Tales of blackmail and
alliances and I don't know I guess I
just have a hard time believing it but
also I don't know these guys in real
life none of us do and I guess it also
just sucks that people are so eager to
cast blame on one person or hyper fixate
on aspects of parasocial Dynamics when
at the end of the day none of us really
know it reminds me a lot of when
the we're here cast had a big Shake up
and now people speculated that this
season they brought on lrice to replace
J because J was apparently difficult to
work with and from what I remember that
whole controversy was giving very Source
I made it up but whatever I guess I'm
not telling you you can't ethically
enjoy this next season of queer ey
sometimes famous people are just messy
sometimes regular people are just messy
and sometimes you just don't get along
with your co-workers but it does become
a little more painful and almost
existential when it's your job to have
chemistry with them for millions of
people to watch and a handful of those
people know you're faking it thanks so
much for watching you guys I'm in the
process of a light Rebrand for the
channel in 2024 I'm working on a new
Mini set with Brian in our apartment
here's a sneak peek and I'm going to be
doing a few new head shot putting
together a link tree all kinds of fun
business stuff so bear with me off
camera for a little bit while I figure
that out who's your favorite queer ey
cast member and what's your most notable
celebrity interaction one of my personal
favorites was the time I got Derek Huff
a bagel and a coffee because he was
really nice to me have a good night
everyone and I'll see you next
