THE FAB FIVE VISIT AUSTRALIA AND GIVE THE

COUNTRY TOWN THE

QUEER EYE TOUCH!

on issues
such as
race, gender
and sexuality,
Queer Eye is more
than your average makeover show – it’s
changing lives and we are oicially hooked...
Do they need a sixth member?!

Welcome to Australia! Is this the first
time in the country for you all?
Karamo: It’s amazing. I’ve been here before.
I can’t show everyone around because we
haven’t had time yet, but Australian Tourism
is giving us a little tour around a zoo soon.
Antoni: We get to see koalas!
Tan: Yes, I can’t wait for that.

Would you ever do a season Down Under?
Jonathan: We’d love to!
Tan: We have – [we went to] Yass!
Antoni: Maybe this was a seed we’ve planted
and maybe our next season is here?
Karamo: You know, that’s a dream of ours.

If we’re able to get picked up for more seasons,

I would love an international version. Antoni

is Canadian, Tan is from the UK, my family is

Jamaican. We are an international cast!

Do you feel pressure to live up to the

incredible success of the first season?

Jonathan: here’s

pressure. We want people

to love it. What didn’t

change from season one

and two is that we left

our blood, sweat and

tears there. We worked

really hard and really

did what we wanted

to do. We want to bring

joy, just as much as we

did the irst time.

Bobby, the first episode of season two

was huge for you, as you confronted

some issues from your past. What did

you learn from that experience?

Bobby: he biggest learning moment I had

was, I have animosity toward religion and

people who ailiate with religion, so getting

to know Tammye [who was being made over

in the episode] and realising there are people

who felt the way she did, which was very

anti-homosexuality – they can change their

minds. Tammye opened

her heart and her

mind, and now she’s

an advocate for our

community. It made

me take a step back

and realise not to

lump everyone into

the same category.

Is it hard feeling

vulnerable about

the things you

shareoncamera?Do you get nervous

about certain things that will air?

Jonathan: I have two things I’m worried

about for the current season, so let’s just

My mum is

now doing self-

care because

of the show!’
