The current study examines contemporary understandings of Queer masculinity through a textual and audience analysis of Netflix\u27s Queer Eye: More then a Makeover. I begin by situating this project within the context of media studeis. From there, I engage with literature surrounding the representaitons of differing genders and sexualities in reality television shows. Using the theory of ordinariness (Cavalcante, 2018) and the theory of reflexivity (Sender, 2012), I argue that Netflix\u27s Queer Eye represents a subtle shift in the representaiton of Queer men in television as ordinary and everyday. Audiences understood this presentaiton as Netflix\u27s Fav Five\u27s ordinariness as confidence and through reflexive engagements with the series, came to expect the Fav Five to perform emotional labor on themselves in order to construct an actuated self. Audiences also deploy reflexivity to complicate their engagements with Netflix\u27s Queer Eye through believability, queer representation, and anti-fandom
