*** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Since I suspect Ed's too busy to get this set up, I'm doing it. There will be several sections to organize posts around Ed's appearance on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, next Tuesday at 10 p.m EDST.

I had a note about best comment winning an autographed picture from the show, but I can't remember who made that offer. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Here's the original announcement thread.

Here's an edited portion of the early official show promotion-

In the third installment of QUEER EYE, viewers will meet Ed Miller, a professional poker player and accomplished author of a well-known "how to" poker-strategy book series. <font color="blue">He has the skills of the game but none of the panache.</font> [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

The Fab Five help Ed become a successful and well-known poker guru, [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] and Ed teaches one of them to play in a Texas Hold'em poker match with classic Vegas performers who are currently performing on the strip, including Susan Anton, Penn Jillette, David Brenner, and George Wallace.

The prize is meaningful to Ed, who grew up in New Orleans ...until Hurricane Katrina destroyed (his parents' homes there). [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Watch one of the Fabbers compete with Vegas royalty for a $10,000 prize... to be donated to Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans in an all-new episode premiering on Tuesday, June 20 at 10:00 PM.

Enjoy! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Pre-Show Slander section
 

This area is the location for as many outrageous predictions, comments and anything else your deviant minds can come up with before the show. Remember, Ed agreed to appear on the show- therefore, the gloves are off. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Live comments during the 6/20/06 show
 

Here's the spot for the "snarky" comments that LittleOldLady was looking for as the show airs. I'm not ruling on whether comments should be limited to Ed's role- maybe poker-play criticisms should be posted in the WPT forum.

Host an \"Ed Miller is too sexy for Queer Eye!\" party

This idea of "areas" only works in threaded mode, which no-one uses. Nevertheless,

Anyone in Baltimore feel like taking over a bar and making them put the show on? I know some smaller places where we could comandeer a TV.

Holla!

As your moderator, anybody caught using threaded mode is totally banned. Plus you're double banned for making an official thread without asking my permission and peeling me grapes first.

OR- nobody is banned and yeah- this might as well be the official Ed on Queer Eye thread 'cause why not.

However, the whole idea of the "areas" won't work if you read the board in the most optimal way- so I'd shy away from that.

Re: Host an \"Ed Miller is too sexy for Queer Eye!\" party
 

Invites to my friends are going out this weekend. Private screening room has been reserved, must bring booze. We are doing shots each time Ed says Fantastic, or 1/2 a shot each time someone else says it in place of Ed.

I've never found Flat mode to be most <font color="green">optimal</font>, especially when replies don't quote the portion they are responding to. I get headaches trying to unravel replies, even more so with that wretched Quick Reply mess.

Ideally I would love to see a threaded mode with a preview pane, or something similar to Google with the left threaded and the main window showing a certain number of posts in a chain.

We'll see if the areas of discussion helps organize the upcoming jumble.

Where's the sticky for this thread, anyway? [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Maybe for early next week? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Here are some links to articles about the show:

More stories will run the day of the show and post-premier by the New Orleans paper, Times Picayune, and the Henderson Home News.

Updates will be posted on Ed's website: notedpokerauthority.com

Also, if anyone rates me on the OOT scale of female hotness, there will be serious repercussions. Comment all you want on Ed's appearance, but keep your thoughts about me to yourself.

Thank you,
Elaine

How about a Photoshop competition to see who can come up with the funniest Queer Eye Makeover of Ed using this photo-

Dearest Elaine,

The only reason that you cannot be rated on the 2+2 hotness scale is because this scale does NOT go to eleven.

XOXO,

The Sucker

IIRC you were given mad props for being very attractive when Ed posted the wedding pics. Everyone said Ed married WAY up. Has your appearance changed much since then?

Did you get made over at all? I know they do that sometimes - actually on one of the other Vegas ones both people got makeovers. Would you want to get made over?

Ok, end of highjack - I'm very interested in seeing what they do to Ed.

Susan Anton? No one has made any OOT-type remarks about being all-in on her? With all due respect and love, hugz and shizz Elaine, I think that these kids don't have any idea of the hotness this chick once was the epitome of. The looooooooooooooooong long legs, the best bosom kaboom money can buy, gorgeous long (bleach) blond hair and the most dazzling smile imaginable. Wholly crap, i think I will have to take the beast for a jog before watching this.

Uh, Ed, nh sir.

Susan Anton still looks pretty good, and she certainly held her own with the guys at the table.

BTW here's an article about Edward and Queer Eye in the New Orleans Times-Picayune:

"On tonight's episode, Miller reveals that his wife was wearing an 'I Love Nerds' T-shirt when they first met, proof that advertising pays."

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Apparently I'm a featured pick in the New York Times TV listings today. That's cool.

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Formatting question: I should know this, but I don't -- the show makes it appear that the entire makeover occurs in one day. Arrive at subject's house in the morning, throw his crap everywhere, race out of the house, go get a haircut, buy new clothes, get new furniture, fix up the house, go home, make dinner for the lady, go out on the town in the new duds, end of day.

Ed &amp; Elaine &amp; co. -- something tells me they shoot this over three days or so. Care to share?

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Elaine is clearly a 10, just from her posts.

Ed tho'...

Ok, so it appears that I will not be home to watch this tonight. Does anyone know the schedule for when this thing will be re-airing later in the week?

I think it's pretty clear that it's not just one day. The gay guys do their thing one day, but then they go back to some posh viewing room, drink white wine, and watch and critique their Cinderella as he goes through all the steps they laid out for prior to some 4 way gay sex after the straight one leaves.

That's not what I'm talking about. Obviously the Fab Five are watching a tape of the evening's events after they left. But ostensibly in the story of the show, those things happened the same night of the day they made him over.

Any answers, E &amp; E?

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

This episode included 5 days of shooting with us involved. I suspect there was an additional day where the Fab Five watched from "the loft."

Carson, in this article says that the average is 3 days. He's sneaky, though, and could be bluffing.

Go to www.bravotv.com and click on schedule. That will give you the times of all the re-runs and there are quite a few.

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Interesting -- so are you moved out of the house and into a hotel for 5 days while the place is being refurnished/repainted, etc.?

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Glad to see you are back on your game posting TV reminders. Thanks, I just set up my TiVo as I'll be at the Sox game tonight and miss Ed's show.

Appreciated,

Basically yes, though they did the house stuff in a day and a half... Sunday evening to Tuesday afternoon. They put me up at a hotel for three nights, and Elaine stayed at her condo.

It wasn't fair. They picked five celebrities, all of whom are at least 6'2" (including Susan Anton... she's very tall). I'm 5'8". They were calling me "peanut."

Shame on you. Your entire life is based on sin.

Hopefully this will help GSIH sales?

Re: *** Official thread for Ed\'s QEFTSG appearance 6/20 ***
 

Two so far.

Aw. One "Terriffic?" Boooo.

Bible of Poker = Brilliant

Though I must say Ed I owe more to you than anyone re: books so I hope GSIH sells better after this episode. I have my own opinions why it isn't selling though.

But back to the episode: You were playing a white chip game. HARHARHAR.
