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.

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.

Fraternity gets Fab Five makeover
Fort Worth Star-Telegram

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.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy episode featuring UNT airs this month

Don't miss UNT's debut on Bravo's run-away hit Queer Eye for the Straight Guy at 9 p.m. CT March 29, when one lucky North Texas fraternity gets a complete makeover.

The episode, which was shot at the Sigma Chi house at UNT from Aug. 31 through Sept. 3, 2004, is the first of three Queer Eye shows that were filmed during a four-week stay in North Texas. It marks only the second time the Fab Five — Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez — and crew have ventured out of the New York tri-state area.

"When we decided to do a series of American shows outside of the New York area we wanted to really go someplace different, and Texas seemed to be about as opposite from New York as you can get," said producer Jerry Kolber during the first day of filming. The show filmed a series of episodes in Great Britain that aired earlier this season.

The Emmy-nominated reality show lets loose the Fab Five's fashion, grooming, culinary, cultural and interior design expertise to the benefit of a straight guy in need.

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.
