Six seasons, three spin-offs, 52 episodes, and countless tissues later, Queer Eye has changed the lives of close to one hundred “heroes” and has been cheered on by millions of fans across the world. Each season centers a different city, and each episode follows the Fab Five — Antoni Porowski, Jonathan Van Ness, Bobby Berk, Tan France, and Karamo Brown — as they champion material and spiritual transformations for incredible people in need of a change, nominated by friends or family. Whether they’re zhuzhing the nominee’s home, offering perspective on a difficult life quandary, or making guacamole, the Fab Five approach each “make-better” with kindness, respect, and flair, allowing them to connect with a range of people (and viewers) from wildly different places: Texas, Australia, Japan, Georgia, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, and Philadelphia.

The style mavens have waded through cluttered closets, barren kitchens, and tangled heads of hair since 2018, meeting all that is unsightly (and sometimes uncomfortable) with a heartfelt and hopeful approach. In addition to giving the heroes a new look and bolstering their spirits, the Fab Five help lead their heroes — and by extension their viewers — to a more tolerant, self-loving, and open state of mind. 

Season 6 in Austin was no different, bringing lovable heroes, much-needed style tips, many hilarious moments from the Fab Five, and six Emmy nominations to the already lauded series. Although it’s impossible to count the number of lives touched by the hit show, here we present a few of the numbers behind the miraculous stories in the latest season.
