'Queer Eye' preview

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy kicks off its final season tonight on Bravo, and I got an advance look.

In the first hour, a bunch of former made-overs came back for a Mr. Straight Guy Pageant, complete with host Susan Lucci, an appearance by Miss Universe, a grooming competition, a swimwear competition and more.

As per usual, there is a lot of talk about how lives have been changed -- and a boatload of product placement. Eventually, one of the guys wins the pageant, which seems to consist of a title and a crown, but not much else.

For the real makeover episode, the Fab Five bring together couple Eric and Tracy, who met online and have never met. He's from Colorado, and she's from NYC.

They pick him up at the airport and then drop him off at a hotel before they go check out Tracy's digs. (Since Eric's digs are thousands of miles away.) At the hotel, they give Eric the rundown of the city so they can find a cool place for their first meeting.

They both get outfits for the big date and spa treatments -- and there is a little twist that I won't ruin.

Thankfully, they update Tracy's apartment after totally trashing it (which continues the sponsor-name-dropping and the giving of the free stuff).

I won't tell you how the date goes because ... you know, no spoilers around here. But basically, the guys are back with more of the same. Nothing groundbreaking and lots of warm fuzzies.
