The success of the French version of the 'Queer Eye For The Straight Guy' is greatly attributed to the contribution of Benjamin Bove who has become a super-star phenomenon in France since he was introduced to the French audiences in September. No one in the history of French TeleVision has ever received such a warm welcome and enjoyed such high level of success and acceptance by both the media and audiences alike.

Benjamine’s success is very good news for the Queer Eye For the Straight Guy Global Franchise, TF1, GLAM and the French Gay community at large. His success speaks not only of the great qualities and appeal of this Fashion Connoisseur, but also of the global appeal of this Non-Scripted “Reality” T.V. Show and of its role as a catalyst for a change in attitudes towards gays in France and the rest of the world.
