* OopNorth: If any people watching from the North of England hear Tan’s transatlantic accent and think “hold on, that sounds strangely familiar…” - you’d be correct. Tan grew up in Doncaster (South Yorkshire, England), made his way to Manchester, then across the pond to New York, and finally has made a life and family in Salt Lake City. The accent reflects a mishmash between northern English accents (including Manc and Yorkshire) with an ever-increasing American twang.

** Joey had severe alcoholism in the past, which resulted in his divorce from his ex-wife when his son, Issac, was five years old. While he has gotten sober and managed to land a full-time job as an Outdoor Education Center Program Director since then, the job required him having to move from Michigan to Missouri, meaning that he would only get to see Issac a couple of times a year now instead of weekly. While it was hard for Joey to make the decision, he ultimately took the job because he wanted Issac to see him succeed at a career rather than taking on whatever odd jobs he could to survive. Also, the job gave Joey his own apartment right on the education center campus, which allows Issac to have a place to stay whenever he visits instead of just staying in the old, cramped RV that Joey has lived in during the past few years.

** In the ''Queer Eye: We're in Japan!'' episode "Bringing Sexy Back," the Fab Five had been lightly poking fun at the fact that Makoto's relationship with his wife, Yasuko, had been sexless for five years; it's only when Makoto makes a comment to Tan about not wanting to think of his wife in a sexual way any more that makes them realise that something was seriously wrong, however. Karamo (with Jonathan's help) stages an intervention early, and the two are able to air their worries that had been dragging their relationship down the entire time: Makoto wasn't sure Yasuko really loved him, but didn't want to ask in case she rejected him, while Yasuko felt self-conscious about not being "a good housewife" and wondered if Makoto regretted marrying her. Being able to communicate those feelings to each-other, and being able to reassure each-other that they were in love, meant that their relationship problems were largely resolved.

* EarlyInstalmentWeirdness: The first season was well-received, but the show evolved much more when it grew beyond the formula. In the first season, the crew still only worked on men, and the season was still mostly focused on individuals (aside from the fire station) whereas in future seasons they included women and did far more group projects like the church and the school or did businesses like the dog grooming business and the barbecue joint. Karamo also said in the first and second season he felt his role wasn't refined enough and was largely limited to heart-to-hearts with the heroes; in future seasons he'd be more interactive with things like taking his heroes to dance classes, rock climbing, exploring archives, working out and more.
