Dear QE Guys,
I watched tonight's QE in rapt attention, since I thought the premise of a reunion show was interesting. But the holiday party sucked - do we really need to watch a bunch of the same yahoos drink Eco Domani (shudder) and replay/revisit 1/3 of each show over again? I mean, you've only been on the air for, what, a season-and-a-half - do we really need a retrospective at this point? Is my memory so bad that I can't remember George Katsigiannis who was just featured in August 2003?
You kept up this congratulatory craziness during your "Making the Video" episode. Can you please explain to me why the ONLY song you played during this ENTIRE show was "Things Just Keep Getting Better"? Yes, yes, I know that it was supposed to document how you made the video, but, let's be honest, there's not a whole hell of a lot of reasons to listen to the song over and over again. It's not like on the sixteenth listen you're suddenly going to discover that the song is actually talking about new theory of evolution, a cure for cancer, or the solution to the Middle East crisis. And I love how your video only features the actual vocalist for about five seconds - um, didn't she, like, sing the song and stuff?
Special memo to Jai:
Please don't chew gum on camera for any reason. Also, please keep your Ben and J. Lo fantasies to yourself. Quick question: WTF was up with your hairstyle and sweater choice during the closing moments of this week's episode? I could barely pay attention to the valuable information about culture/Broadway shows/MCing/facilitating taxidermists' fantasies that you were generously offering, because you looked like you'd just jumped out of the pages of the Sears catalog! I really need to know how to improve my life, but your "holiday" sweater was so distracting that I couldn't focus on your life changing advice.
Seriously, I love QEftSG, but you're dangerously close to becoming overexposed. Maybe you should start including Michael Ian Black aka Pets.com-sock-puppet-voiceover-guy on your shows. You could be the Fab Five + 1.
Sincerely,
Adrienne
P.S. The makeover you did for Saddam H. was awesome, though. Congrats!

Update: Check out Jossip's excellent review of the QE music video show. "While you may think 'making the video' specials include actual scenes of the video being made, a la MTV's Making The Video, you would be sorely disappointed with Queer Eye's take. Instead, this half-hour diatribe consisted of Carson, Thom, Jai, Tom and Kyan talking about the success of the show and it being able to 'cross boundaries' -- which is true, if the boundary is between the hamper and the washing machine."
