The whole gay world is a agog at the new, emotionally open and therapeutic Queer Eye series on Netflix and its handsome Food and Wine expert, Antoni. While most arguments are about if he can actually cook, I want a raise a bolder and more fundamental question: is Antoni Porowski a secret agent in deep cover as a reality show host? My case follows.

  • He is only relaxed around knives
  • Very excited about basements
  • Lights up when discussing things arranged in ‘logical organized ways’
  • We all love a dimpled chin, a killer smile, and a vague sense of scanning the room for exits and potential threats
  • Not present for dancing lessons, is present for boxing lessons
  • Proper response to emotion
