ought to be interesting.

What episode is Bravo in the US at right now? Canada gets Queer Eye on Wednesdays on Global TV, and the episode with the cop who plays baseball just aired (has a girlfriend named "Melly") last night.

From the website, it appears that the Sigma Chi episode will be airing in the US next Tuesday.

I rather be smashed in a trash compacter than to let those fruit baskets touch me.

How nice for you.

That's awesome!!!!

Bravo's 'Queer Eye' makes over a Texas college fraternity house
UPI News Service, 03/28/2005

The experts of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" have made over what they described as their greatest challenge yet -- a University of North Texas frat house.

The episode, which premieres Tuesday night on the cable channel, culminates in a pledge party at the revamped house.

The makeover guys, known as the Fab Five, arrived in August to help Cameron Allahverdi, 20. Together, they shopped for clothes, cooked with a chef at The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas and worked out with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at Texas Stadium in Irving.

Several fraternity members get attention in the segment. The episode ends with a house pledge party featuring Shout by Otis Day of Animal House fame.

Chapter President Brad Blanchard, 20, is a little worried about how the fraternity and his 2-year-old house will be portrayed. "We wanted to show what a fraternity could be like. We are a bunch of good guys," he said. The show's advance publicity calls the brothers' "before" living conditions squalid, with kitchen floors and counters covered with junk, and bedroom minifridges contaminated with bugs, spoiled milk and rancid meat. "The hallways are dotted with 'mystery holes' that just 'happen' after parties. The communal bathroom is ... well, be afraid. Be very afraid," according to the show.

TxAPhi: You beat me with the update by two minutes. :D

I was just thinking the same thing :D At least they were different articles! Can't wait to see the episode :cool:

Ditto there too. :)

does the episode show at 10pm eastern then repeat at 1:00 am for the West Coast feed?

Yes, the episode will premier at 10 p.m. Eastern tonight. However, according to the Bravo web site, at 1 a.m. ET there will be an episode of The West Wing. Same line up/times for Pacific.

Watch the video clip...
 

Oh my god, that was a great video clip!!!!

You will NEVER see this with a red state fraternity. EVER!!!

I will say that it was awesome. I will not say in which ways it was awesome, to avoid spoiling for those who haven't yet seen it.

i can say that i can never look tyler in the face again without laughing.
those of you who watched it will know why.:p

ROFL @ tyler the new grooming guru!! lol

I love watching the Fab 5!!! I think the funniest things they said in this epsiode were:

"I like your pattern. Did you register for this?" Interiors guy referring to a basketball-looking dish

"We're deliciously pimp!" Guys after getting dressed.

There was a VAST improvement.... b/c before their house was invaded by the Fab 5 it was scary!!

FYI: Queer Eye's Thom Filicia (Design) is a 1992 graduate of Syracuse and a member of Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji).

Mr. Filicia's profile is near the end of the page.

can someone let me know when the show will be re-ran? My DAMN vcr did not record the show....

OR

If someone has a copy and would not mind making me a copy, PM me....

It is on again tonight at 9pm, Friday 8pm, Sat 11am, and Sun 5pm.

watching the show now.......funny as hell......

in the show's opening credits he was wearing a FIJI hat....

thought the show would be negative on Greeks but it is turning out to be more positive than what I thought.....

Way to go UNT Sigma Chis!!!!

omg it was so funny! i loved giggles! a must watch just b/c it is so funny!

What a fabulous show! Maybe my favorite episode ever. Do any UNT people here know what chapters those beautiful ladies are in?

most of the girls at the party were kappas and chi os. The girl with the blonde hair and blue shirt they kept showing is a chi o. i think there were probably around 5 girls there that weren't kappa or chi o, since sigma chi hangs out with them the most.

I wonder if the guys have managed to keep the house and themselves looking as good as they wre by the end of the show.

(This was filmed last September. Do all such shows take so long from filming to broadcast?

well the sigma chi's here are kind of known as the pretty boys, so themselves, not much difference.

but their house.... well.. the chapter room has stayed pretty decent. they seem to have kept the furniture in good condition since then too. the rest of it is a different story however...

Re: Sigma Chi and Queer Eye!
 

WOW, it must really suck being greek at a non-ACC/non-SEC school...

I caught the show a few days ago and thought it was very entertaining. "Deliciously pimp" cracked me up. :)

The episode finally aired in Canada, and I agree, the house was really gross at first, but really nice afterwards.

Someone mentioned Kappas and Chi-Os being the sororities that Sigma Chi hangs out with...interesting, since the guys had an owl in the shopping cart at the hardware store!
