Hello all it is me William Holmes...I am now free of student loans and now am a home owner...a couple of years can really change a person's life! I am truly grateful for the opportunity to share my story and actually making something out of it! Happy Holidays everyone!
So happy for you!! That must've been such a journey for you. Your vulnerability and story has touched thousands of us. I hope that you can breathe a little easier these days.
Poverty really breaks a person down. We don’t get to talk about it much, but the trauma of poverty can be insane. Being able to get this moment of joy and perspective hopefully works wonders. I relate to Will’s story. I’m 31 now and in a significantly better place than when I was 26. Rooting for Will!
No exactly being poor is very traumatizing. I’ve been homeless, always felt scared to spend money when I have had it, and student debt-college is a huge scam.
So, so true and it's impossible to explain to someone that hasn't experienced it. Im 49 now and I'm glad the I grew the way I did. But believe me, I sure enough DID NOT feel that when I was 10 rocking Payless specials with holes in them. Oh Lord 😅🙏
I agree. I'm 50 and experiencing poverty for the first time. Its a very scary and challenging place to be in. I hope Will learns to find joy, no matter what his financial situation. ❤
I didn’t realise how much I needed queer eye again until I watched this. Whenever I see the fab 5, and their empowerment truly gives me new life. I think I’ve got a rewatch on the horizon
I’m watching for the first time, been going through and dealing with some personal things and this series and the Fab 5. Helped me to escape for a bit and bring a lite smile even to my spirit even if for a little....💫🏳️🌈💫
That poor man is so focused on getting out of debt that he feels like a failure and has forgotten how to find joy. His face making that pie was so happy!
Kinda shitty for Delta to not at least partially pay off student loan debt for such a loyal employee (7+ years) that they are using for content/marketing. You would think that a company as large as Delta would have a program to assist long term employees with student debt.
I'm sure they have a program of sorts that he's enrolled in, but he might just have very large amounts of debt that delta plan doesn't fully cover. Like the plan might only be covering a small portion.
@@JessicaAvolio undoubtedly more than likely than poss, but they still coulda pitched in. i'm hoping they did on the BE (fingers crossed). rooting for you Will + Rose!
if they start paying for everyone's post grad student debts I just--nah it's not the company's responsibility imo. shouldn't even have these student debts to begin with. post-secondary education should be free and not even create these situations
I cried four times watching this episode. I relate to Will’s story so much; debt crushes the spirit, which can be especially hard for ldr because work and bills are already so tiresome. But he is such a beautiful person, and you can see his radiance and joy for life when the pressure is eased. He and Rose deserve the best!
Paying for education should be forbidden. This ist totally unimaginable for me over here in Western Europe We all pay for our students to have a proper education and I am proud of that. Young people should not start their lives in debt.
Not only in western Europe. :P Besides, if someone pays to study, it's a much lower payment that you can easly afford by working along the way or your parents can pay without any debts.
Loved the episode but was SOO disappointed they didn’t erase his student loan debt. It would have been zero burden to Netflix to take that awful burden off of his shoulders. It’s clearly the main stresser in his life 😓
They do a lot of that off camera but they don’t show it in order to keep the show about the transformation of the hero and not make it about how helpful the fab five are
It would not ve been such a burden for the USA to have free or cheap college education either, countries that are way less well off do offer that to support movement across social classes
It is odd sometimes, isn't it, that they will sometimes spend thousands of dollars on a reno when the person so glaringly needs the cash way more than they need a new couch or new kitchen tiles, good as those things may be. At least furniture they can sell.
It just shows you how much money and security effects your well being. If you are constantly hustling just to survive, of course you can't prioritise buying or doing nice things for yourself. I understand the importance of self care, but I believe it can only be accessed by priveleged people. Great that the guys stepped in to help this sweet guy
Yes! Survival mode is extremely difficult to shake off once you've been in it for so long. You get so used to focusing on keeping a roof over your head that it becomes hard to even contemplate life's bigger picture, let alone enact on anything substantial to help move forward
I love these beautiful men, They have chosen to care and show kindness when at times in their lives they felt none. I LOVE YOU and you are making the WORLD BETTER! Don't stop spreading your Love and Joy!!!
This is hands down one of my favourite shows. They truly help people love themselves and feel more confident in themselves for who they are. The Fab 5 truly are the best out there and make a difference in people's lives
We need student loan forgiveness. Millennials are the hardest working and most educated generation, but we're bogged down by stagnating incomes and higher cost of living. It's like we've done everything right, but we've been dealt the worst hand.
Exactly, I've been working three jobs at once most of my life and I'm 34y with 2 bachelor degrees and still have debt....and now the retail market in my country is so insane I can't even buy myself an apartment so I'm stuck living with my parents. It's messed up. The only thing the government is doing is allowing young people to get higher loans...like that is going to help anyone. All of my friends (except one) borrowed money from their parents to buy their first apartments, because It's impossible otherwise. I you don't have parents who have spare money, you are shit out of luck.
I grew up in China. When I heard that my American friend, who's a team leader in a top500 company, quite successful at the age of 32, is still paying his student loan, I was quite shocked. I'm not saying higher education should be free, but this, this is not right.
This is one of my favs I lost my mom this week after years of caring for her and things feel lost and empty. The confidence I need always comes from the fab 5. Thank you I am gonna try to move forward and remember who I am. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everybody leans on this show for the kind of warmth that only the fab5 can give us. It's so beautiful after such an emotional episode reading these comments. And back to the episode, I'm in love with Will, he's so beautiful in all meanings. He deserves the best. I love the whole energy that this gave me.
After a struggle day with my almost 9 month old who’s army crawling everywhere, all of a sudden protesting naps and gets bored with a toy every 5 seconds, I really needed this.
Rose is so lucky... I'm a bit envious. It's so hard to find a millennial straight guy who has joy, kindness, and dreams, but also humility, drive and discipline like Holmes. Bonus, he is FINE too. And no, don't @ me, butthurt boys. If the shoe fits...
Yup. My bf tries sometimes but it’s so minimal and his dreams are so vast that it seems I’m just being used, perhaps accidentally. It’s the kind of thing where you know he loves you but it’s to a point and it won’t go any further. And even tho you know it, it’s hard to break off of it because you don’t wanna be alone and start over again again.
@@anyal1987 SIS BREAK IT OFF. IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DESERVE BETTER AND YOU'RE DRAINED, IT MEANS YOU DESERVE TO LOVE UP ON YOURSELF, AND GET READY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS MORE DESERVING!
I was thinking the same thing at first, but that wouldn't teach him anything/solve his problems in the long-term. Most people have debt...I think it's more valuable to teach him coping skills.
They might have. Sometimes they do stuff like that off camera (like they’ve gotten people hooked up with loans, financial aid, etc.) I like that they don’t use it for an “Oprah moment”.
@@alw87642 i don’t know why they played up the debt aspect then, they don’t really do that for anyone else though I’m sure almost all on the show are in debt in some way…and the with whole Delta angle - just thought Netflix might step up is all
@@Bookle24 well he could finally stop living with 4 roommates and start saving for a home for him and his gf - I know they say money doesn’t solve everything but it would go a long way with this guy who is putting in long hours and trying to make a LDR work….
I would say instead of thinking of him as an outlier, he is the norm for most people his (and my) age. You probably aren't seeing it, but John Henerism is a huge issue in this country.
Pls put this on actual Netflix! So many ppl don't even know about this. Queer Eye on Netflix has millions of views while this hasn't even hit 500k yet. Numbers are not everything for sure but we all know how much we love the Fab 5 and how much more traction this would get on Netflix. That being said I'm so happy that this exists! I needed this right now.
this episode really opened my eyes to understand that worrying about the future won’t get you closer to your goals but enjoying the present day, will 💙
I want you to know that I find this show incredibly moving and uplifting. Every single episode makes me cry! Not only are you fellas doing more than enough good deeds to get you into heaven and changing peoples' lives, you have changed my life too!
Queer Eye - for when you feel like tearing up every ten minutes. Also, 'When you have a lot of anxiety about your future, it's because you're unsure about where you are today' - Karamo nailing it. SO much love for the fab 5 and the amazing people who let them into their lives.
So true about hugely burdensome student loans. My kid has had as much as100K in loans until some of it was forgiven recently because she works for a non-profit as an RN. She has a life now.
@@markclemente1503 true a lot depends on where you live, the area, how long you worked. In my town, if you work in the city for 5 years you can but it varies.
it's insane how much school costs in America. Well, for the most part. Everything besides "community college" costs an arm and a leg, but community college is portrayed as a joke by many Americans and almost shameful to admit you attend and often not good enough for employers wanting bachelors degrees for entry level jobs. Here in Canada, you can get a decent job (depending on the field of course) with a 2 year college diploma. The post secondary system is much different here - Colleges are normally institutions for hands on careers, whereas University is for academic fields. Many programs you can study are offered in both college and university, but a lot of the time it's not necessary for entry level jobs. I took 3 separate programs in school. did a 1 year college exploration, 2 year photography (where we were charged fees to all have the same cameras), and a 3 year graphic design program. My student loans also covered cost of living for most of these years, too. I have $32k in student loan debt. For 3 separate diplomas, 5 years. That's just a bit more than the lower end of entry level job salaries for junior graphic designers. I COULD go to university and spend 1-2 years (only need 1 at certain schools with transfer credits, but others can take more time to complete) to get a bachelor's degree, which would open up higher salaried positions such as art directors.
i am not a tv watcher by any means but this genuinely fills my heart with such joy?? this is such a wholesome and amazing show??????? like this is a slice of happiness and feel good that makes life a little better i ADORE this
Netflix and QE do a lot of stuff like that off camera, but they don’t show it because they are trying to ensure the show is about the change in the life of the hero and not the generosity of the fab five
I realized that I could never make a recipe as well as my mum or gran when I realized that I like fruit better if they cut it up for me, lol . There's just something special about someone caring enough to take the effort for you 💗
He is the sweetest person and has such lovely people in his life. I wish him all the best!! ❤️ thank you fab 5 for bringing joy to our lives you gorgeous people!
And he did it in a non crazy way that other home decorating shows used to do! Where the lead would mention one interest or hobby and they'd turn the entire space into That Thing
@pitchycastle it offers the opportunity for his gf and him to sit up while eating meals in the room though, which was important for our leas as he has 4 other roommates Gf also doesn't sleep there every night so it makes more sense to do what's actually the most helpful for our Lead
I’ve missed my grandmother from the millisecond she passed, hardest thing I’ve ever gone through my entire life and I was his age when mine passed as well. I think he needed to hear the words “she’d be proud of you” it’s a nice affirmation even though she’s no longer with him in person
A lot of people commenting on why Netflix or Delta didn't pay off his student loans. It makes perfect sense that they didn't. While that would have been nice to see, they're still so many people who are just like him who have no wealthy employer or production company to swoop in and save them. While the show improves someone's life in each episode, it also serves to inspire the millions who watch, especially those who see themselves in the hero. So I think the fact that they didn't pay off his debt sends a powerful message. That even though that financial burden still exists, they've taught him how to enjoy the present and showed him how great it can be. Regardless of what the future holds, he is still entitled to enjoy the now. That was the point of this transformation and not paying off his loans was the best way for him and all of us to learn that.
I love this episode! Holmes is so relatable to a lot of people our age. We are grinding way more than we thought we'd ever have to to get out of debt. But he's doing It! Also the scene where Antoni and him make the pie had me tearing up.
Economical uncertainty is emotionally draining i can see why William is worry about his future and why he finds the present overwhelming. Sending William a big hug and hoping he can find a way to deal with that uncertainty.💗💗

I have missed Queer Eye SO much... Each time I watch an episode it's comforting, boosts my energy to remind me I need to to take care of myself today as well and it simply feels like home. I hope we can keep seeing the fab 5 🏳️🌈💖
I wish William could see how much he has done. (Not at the end yet) As a 27 year old, with only half her mess in order, he SHOULD be proud. I am just out here crying over pie.
He is such a beautiful person who seems driven which is an awesome quality to have. The Fab Five did a wonderful job bringing out another part of himself that enjoys life. I was really hoping his debt would be squashed but with his determination I'm certain he will prosper, all in divine timing.
This such an emotional episode. Im holding back the tears throughout it. Great lessons for ourselves to learn. Be kind to yourself, love yourself, think about yourself, and treat yourself. What a beautiful episode.
The energy of these 5 is what we really need nowadays! And yes, just because we are drowned with our debts doesn't mean it would stop us enjoying the life we have :) always showing us good vibes and full of positivity ☺️💪🏼😘
Not to be a thirsty girl on the internet, but that barber can get it. Also, Will, you're doing fine my dude. I'm 34 and still in school and we're all in this debt boat together. Hopefully we'll have enough people in the government someday who actually care about us enough to reform student loans and healthcare because they are VERY intertwined.
Bobby Berk: Comments on how a dark patternd rug hides stains. Also Bobby Berk: Puts a white rug into the KITCHEN😳 Otherwise it really is lovely as always🥰
Ugh, this hit me so hard. I really relate to not wanting to live in the present and feeling like you’re waiting to live the life you want - I literally just broke up with my boyfriend and I needed this 😭
Hope you're doing better these days 💜 my parents both passed away at different times before I turned 20 years old... I'm 32 now and still often describe my headspace as "waiting for something..." :/ I've felt 'stuck' for so long... Were you able to crawl out of that feeling? Hope so 💜
Balling like a baby… yet again. I’d give anything to hear my Papa say he’s proud of me. I know he would be, but it would still be nice to hear😌 this might be my fav episode yet!
How will the CEOs expand their helipads if they share the profits? There is Jeff Bezos over there building a mental support yacht for his mega sized yacht and going to space for vacation but his employees are wallowing. He's not supposed to give them all his money but he should pay them a decent livable wage. He upped the wages they say but he also cut the hours and works them like slaves and threatens unionization moves.
if they do it for one person, they would need to be in the business of paying off all new employees student debt and that makes no sense. you lot in America need to have free post secondary education in the first place
@kweeniepiez two things can be true at once Delta could financially help out this extremely loyal employee, AND America could give AF about it's taxpaying citizens and use OUR hard-earned money to help make society/our lives better
ive never been so touched and moved by a person. Holmes is such a wonderful person and I hope he has realized how great he is doing in his life and God will make sure a man like this receives the life he is dreaming of. "A good man obtains favor from the Lord." I truly believe hes working his ass off like he should to have an amazing future. His wonderful girl Rose has his back, as well as his grandma from heaven. PRAYERS THAT HOLMES AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE ROSE CONTINUE RECEIVING BLESSINGS !!
Love watching these episodes.Whenever I feel down or I’m loosing my sense of self I watch an episode and I feel inspired and confident.They always have a lovely message within them.Keep doing what you do ❤️
QE from the first episode has given me such joy. The love, compassion, professionalism and care gives hope to your guests and to your viewers. What you did for this young man... and all your guests... is show them what they have how to work it and celebrate. I thank you for your example. Blessings to you all!
Another great Hero. I've missed this show so much - I Cannot wait for the new season. We need a LOT of wholesomeness and glow ups after this dreadful year.
Less than a month ago I flew 1600+ miles across the country to see my boyfriend (a former close friend for YEARS) … and he broke up with me 3 days into the 10 day trip. Thankful to see a happy experience from an LDR and a flight for once 😅 thank you QE
I think this is my favorite episode by far. I can relate so hard as someone also young and working so hard to get out of massive debt that makes you feel like you’re drowning and don’t have permission to enjoy things just yet
This guy deserves this sooo much! He is too young to be that anxious about the future and not to enjoy the present. And he is so nice, polite, hard working! He has the most beautiful smile! I hope this marks a turn in the way he's living his life! And I hope he gets/makes some time for friends. Good luck, Holmes! ❤️❤️❤️
For years now, ever since I lived in Brooklyn, this show has meant so much to me. It’s a walking Pinterest board, like myself, and I can relate to each and every nominated person. Such great casting when it comes to these 5, and thanks for all the uplifting inspiration :)
Queer Eye really put his finances on blast, gave him a $70/week haircut program and told him good luck lmaooo! William was such a nice guy - I hope that they offered some financial support - they sure got paid with the Google & Lyft paycheck in this episode - so drop him so coin too!
$18/week, one cut a month. They got him a fully/beautifully furnished apartment, tablet, new wardrobe, grooming products (JVN could have gotten a store bought lip-scrub, but went homemade, to see that self care can be on a budget). I agree with other people that delta could have paid off his loans since they used for advertising. But I think even if it was a "add"episode, QE did their part amazingly
@@thaisalberti4613 $18/week with crippling student loans still isn't amazing. No one said they didn't do a good job. You know Queer Eye is a whole production - I'm not asking the hosts to open their pockets, the production is a different story.
It doesn’t matter. He loved it. He is going to enjoy it at max. He might find cheaper options. At least he now knows how it feels like when you do something nice for yourself
I know, like don't exploit his life story without making sure the life you leave him is maintainable, these other comments aint it. no one realizes 18/hour in philly is nothing
This is probably going to go down as one of my favourite episodes from the series. What a perfect hero for them to work with. He was so ready to embrace change in all areas. All he needed was some support for his confidence in himself to completely blossom. So many hugs. You could tell he really needed each one.
This was so good! Delta, I am now a fan. Thank you Fab 5 and Delta and the wonderful manager who saw what a bright soul Holmes is and nominated him for this. (President Biden, please forgive student debt.)
I remember what it was like to be Will. I was in a long distance relationship for about a year. Mostly, it was because of lack of funds. My girlfriend & I were each living with our respective relatives at the time. You get creative on finding inexpensive or free things to do. I feel like we got to know each other better because we appreciated time together. And, money didn't distract from the real us...
I’m disagreeing with a lot of people who say that Delta and QE or Netflix should have erased his debt! I think what QE & his Delta fam did for him is amazing! They gave him so many more tools to feel more confident and be successful in life. Yes, he has debt, we all do but he will get it paid off! Teaching him to live more and not just exist is the best lesson they could have given to him! He needed everything they gave him! He is such a handsome man and I don’t even know him but I’m super proud of him! Amazing story and amazing life he is living! Thank you Fab 5 for helping another person!!!
I just want to say that you guys are amazing! I cry every time i watch the episodes because that generosity/love you guys give to people is just beautiful! Wants me to be a better person everytime I watch how you guys change lives
I think it would have been nice to see his roommate's reactions to the kitchen and bathroom makeovers. They share these spaces with Holmes and have benefited from their association with him.

exactly what i was thinking!! so sad
Yes it is appalling; and it is nearly impossible to change this system unless you move away
Lmao what? In Western Europe you still pay for education, especially the UK...
Loved the episode but was SOO disappointed they didn’t erase his student loan debt. It would have been zero burden to Netflix to take that awful burden off of his shoulders. It’s clearly the main stresser in his life 😓
Yeah, they should at least create a GoFundMe or something so we can pitch in a dollar. I am worried he might have lost his job during the pandemic?
They'd never because then they'd have to financially help others lol which is to much ACTUAL help
They do a lot of that off camera but they don’t show it in order to keep the show about the transformation of the hero and not make it about how helpful the fab five are

It is odd sometimes, isn't it, that they will sometimes spend thousands of dollars on a reno when the person so glaringly needs the cash way more than they need a new couch or new kitchen tiles, good as those things may be. At least furniture they can sell.

Everybody leans on this show for the kind of warmth that only the fab5 can give us. It's so beautiful after such an emotional episode reading these comments. And back to the episode, I'm in love with Will, he's so beautiful in all meanings. He deserves the best. I love the whole energy that this gave me.
After a struggle day with my almost 9 month old who’s army crawling everywhere, all of a sudden protesting naps and gets bored with a toy every 5 seconds, I really needed this.
Wow. Yeah. Same. Good luck
So much love to you both. After 2 toddlers I can promise that it gets less relentless. Not easier per say but less relentless.
Currently here also with my 9 month old, glad we're not alone. You're doing great, mama!
You got this MOMS and DADS. RAISE THOSE BABIES. It is never easy but it’s always worth it and the hard times don’t last forever.
Hang in there mamas, the nights are long but the days pass quickly. You'll get there!! Xoxox
Rose is so lucky... I'm a bit envious. It's so hard to find a millennial straight guy who has joy, kindness, and dreams, but also humility, drive and discipline like Holmes. Bonus, he is FINE too. And no, don't @ me, butthurt boys. If the shoe fits...
Please it is hard to find a gay man like that lol
@@Hotrodchef89 shit aren't we struggling lmao **cries**
Yup. My bf tries sometimes but it’s so minimal and his dreams are so vast that it seems I’m just being used, perhaps accidentally. It’s the kind of thing where you know he loves you but it’s to a point and it won’t go any further. And even tho you know it, it’s hard to break off of it because you don’t wanna be alone and start over again again.
@@anyal1987 SIS BREAK IT OFF. IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DESERVE BETTER AND YOU'RE DRAINED, IT MEANS YOU DESERVE TO LOVE UP ON YOURSELF, AND GET READY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS MORE DESERVING!
@@chasingpax1111 I love you girl 🥺🥰💕💕💕💕
It was an honor being apart of this transformation! Thanks Jonathan Van Ness! My skills are still "Unparalleled" as you mentioned a year ago! ❤😊
Delta and QE should have paid off a portion (or even all) of this guys debt 💯💯
Was thinking the same thing!
I was thinking the same thing at first, but that wouldn't teach him anything/solve his problems in the long-term. Most people have debt...I think it's more valuable to teach him coping skills.
They might have. Sometimes they do stuff like that off camera (like they’ve gotten people hooked up with loans, financial aid, etc.)
I like that they don’t use it for an “Oprah moment”.
@@alw87642 i don’t know why they played up the debt aspect then, they don’t really do that for anyone else though I’m sure almost all on the show are in debt in some way…and the with whole Delta angle - just thought Netflix might step up is all
@@Bookle24 well he could finally stop living with 4 roommates and start saving for a home for him and his gf - I know they say money doesn’t solve everything but it would go a long way with this guy who is putting in long hours and trying to make a LDR work….
it's upsetting seeing someone so much more competent and hardworking than most people struggling because of education debt ;/
I would say instead of thinking of him as an outlier, he is the norm for most people his (and my) age. You probably aren't seeing it, but John Henerism is a huge issue in this country.
Pls put this on actual Netflix! So many ppl don't even know about this. Queer Eye on Netflix has millions of views while this hasn't even hit 500k yet. Numbers are not everything for sure but we all know how much we love the Fab 5 and how much more traction this would get on Netflix.
That being said I'm so happy that this exists! I needed this right now.
Rose is one lucky lady. I cried watching the whole episode. his grandparents have brought him up really well. may he be debt-free soon.
this episode really opened my eyes to understand that worrying about the future won’t get you closer to your goals but enjoying the present day, will 💙
I want you to know that I find this show incredibly moving and uplifting. Every single episode makes me cry! Not only are you fellas doing more than enough good deeds to get you into heaven and changing peoples' lives, you have changed my life too!
Queer Eye - for when you feel like tearing up every ten minutes. Also, 'When you have a lot of anxiety about your future, it's because you're unsure about where you are today' - Karamo nailing it. SO much love for the fab 5 and the amazing people who let them into their lives.
So true about hugely burdensome student loans. My kid has had as much as100K in loans until some of it was forgiven recently because she works for a non-profit as an RN. She has a life now.
Teachers can have some debt forgiveness too.
@@deb9806 Yeah but not always sadly. I know too many teachers who didn't have their debt forgiven.
@@markclemente1503 true a lot depends on where you live, the area, how long you worked. In my town, if you work in the city for 5 years you can but it varies.
it's insane how much school costs in America. Well, for the most part. Everything besides "community college" costs an arm and a leg, but community college is portrayed as a joke by many Americans and almost shameful to admit you attend and often not good enough for employers wanting bachelors degrees for entry level jobs. Here in Canada, you can get a decent job (depending on the field of course) with a 2 year college diploma. The post secondary system is much different here - Colleges are normally institutions for hands on careers, whereas University is for academic fields. Many programs you can study are offered in both college and university, but a lot of the time it's not necessary for entry level jobs.
I took 3 separate programs in school. did a 1 year college exploration, 2 year photography (where we were charged fees to all have the same cameras), and a 3 year graphic design program. My student loans also covered cost of living for most of these years, too. I have $32k in student loan debt. For 3 separate diplomas, 5 years. That's just a bit more than the lower end of entry level job salaries for junior graphic designers. I COULD go to university and spend 1-2 years (only need 1 at certain schools with transfer credits, but others can take more time to complete) to get a bachelor's degree, which would open up higher salaried positions such as art directors.
i am not a tv watcher by any means but this genuinely fills my heart with such joy?? this is such a wholesome and amazing show??????? like this is a slice of happiness and feel good that makes life a little better i ADORE this
girl there is a whole series on netflix. you will love
I didn't expect them to cancel his whole debt, but I thought Delta and Netflix would have given him a 6.000$ check or something
Netflix and QE do a lot of stuff like that off camera, but they don’t show it because they are trying to ensure the show is about the change in the life of the hero and not the generosity of the fab five
@@jaredhallford959 do you have proof of this?
@@PsychedelicSmurf my aunt worked on the show for a couple episodes in the first two seasons and she told me about it when I asked the same question
I realized that I could never make a recipe as well as my mum or gran when I realized that I like fruit better if they cut it up for me, lol . There's just something special about someone caring enough to take the effort for you 💗
mum makes better sandwiches than i ever will
Someday someone is gonna feel that way about your cut up fruits
I’m just really happy to see Bobbers again. I love him.
BOBBERS
He is the sweetest person and has such lovely people in his life. I wish him all the best!! ❤️ thank you fab 5 for bringing joy to our lives you gorgeous people!
bobby noticed he likes thailand. and turned his room into a “like a little hotel room southeast asia” amazing.
I mean I like Thailand and that room looks like a dream hahahha!
It's very pretty, but how are 2 people supposed to be able to sleep on that sofa/daybed..? It doesn't even look long enough for one adult person..
And he did it in a non crazy way that other home decorating shows used to do!
Where the lead would mention one interest or hobby and they'd turn the entire space into That Thing
@pitchycastle it offers the opportunity for his gf and him to sit up while eating meals in the room though, which was important for our leas as he has 4 other roommates
Gf also doesn't sleep there every night so it makes more sense to do what's actually the most helpful for our Lead
I’ve missed my grandmother from the millisecond she passed, hardest thing I’ve ever gone through my entire life and I was his age when mine passed as well. I think he needed to hear the words “she’d be proud of you” it’s a nice affirmation even though she’s no longer with him in person
It doesn’t get easier even if you’re older when you lose a grandma you love. I was actually 60 when my grandmother died . I still miss her
33:12 JVN praising someone for sitting into a chair is the kind of support I need in life😭❤️
A lot of people commenting on why Netflix or Delta didn't pay off his student loans. It makes perfect sense that they didn't.
While that would have been nice to see, they're still so many people who are just like him who have no wealthy employer or production company to swoop in and save them. While the show improves someone's life in each episode, it also serves to inspire the millions who watch, especially those who see themselves in the hero.
So I think the fact that they didn't pay off his debt sends a powerful message. That even though that financial burden still exists, they've taught him how to enjoy the present and showed him how great it can be. Regardless of what the future holds, he is still entitled to enjoy the now. That was the point of this transformation and not paying off his loans was the best way for him and all of us to learn that.
That's deep. Thank you for sharing !
I love this episode! Holmes is so relatable to a lot of people our age. We are grinding way more than we thought we'd ever have to to get out of debt. But he's doing It! Also the scene where Antoni and him make the pie had me tearing up.
Didn’t realize that a surprise episode of QE was everything I needed in my life right now, especially this particular episode.
Watching the Fab Five and Holmes makes my heart sing! This show is just wall-to-wall love. XO XO XO XO XO XO
Economical uncertainty is emotionally draining i can see why William is worry about his future and why he finds the present overwhelming.
Sending William a big hug and hoping he can find a way to deal with that uncertainty.💗💗
I have missed Queer Eye SO much... Each time I watch an episode it's comforting, boosts my energy to remind me I need to to take care of myself today as well and it simply feels like home. I hope we can keep seeing the fab 5 🏳️🌈💖
I wish William could see how much he has done. (Not at the end yet) As a 27 year old, with only half her mess in order, he SHOULD be proud. I am just out here crying over pie.
He is such a beautiful person who seems driven which is an awesome quality to have. The Fab Five did a wonderful job bringing out another part of himself that enjoys life. I was really hoping his debt would be squashed but with his determination I'm certain he will prosper, all in divine timing.
This such an emotional episode. Im holding back the tears throughout it. Great lessons for ourselves to learn. Be kind to yourself, love yourself, think about yourself, and treat yourself. What a beautiful episode.
The energy of these 5 is what we really need nowadays! And yes, just because we are drowned with our debts doesn't mean it would stop us enjoying the life we have :) always showing us good vibes and full of positivity ☺️💪🏼😘
Not to be a thirsty girl on the internet, but that barber can get it. Also, Will, you're doing fine my dude. I'm 34 and still in school and we're all in this debt boat together. Hopefully we'll have enough people in the government someday who actually care about us enough to reform student loans and healthcare because they are VERY intertwined.
This is a great point because many people cannot afford healthcare

Bobby Berk: Comments on how a dark patternd rug hides stains. Also Bobby Berk: Puts a white rug into the KITCHEN😳 Otherwise it really is lovely as always🥰
😆
We need more Queer Eye, on repeat.
This ensemble is what is right with the World.❤️
This was a really nice little treat to hold us over till the new season actually arrives. Thank you.
Which i will absolutely binge in a day or two if I'm really disciplined.
What an amazing young man! And couple! Thank you Fab 5 for reminding Holmes that every day is precious. He has come alive!
A beautiful episode. His reaction to the painting of his Grandma’s picture……I was crying with him. The Fab 5 are amazing.
He seems like such a sweet person! Rooting for you, Holmes & Rose!!
Oh, man. Will’s story resonates. Very glad he was given an opportunity to be reminded what life can be like when we let ourselves enjoy it.
Ugh, this hit me so hard. I really relate to not wanting to live in the present and feeling like you’re waiting to live the life you want - I literally just broke up with my boyfriend and I needed this 😭
Hope you're doing better these days 💜 my parents both passed away at different times before I turned 20 years old... I'm 32 now and still often describe my headspace as "waiting for something..."
:/ I've felt 'stuck' for so long... Were you able to crawl out of that feeling? Hope so 💜
Balling like a baby… yet again. I’d give anything to hear my Papa say he’s proud of me. I know he would be, but it would still be nice to hear😌 this might be my fav episode yet!
This was awesome. The fab 5 haven't lost their touch
Loved this ep! Holmes and Rose are the cutest. What genuinely good people they are. Best of luck to them both!
I am truly flabbergasted that Delta did not offer to pay off at least a fraction of this young man's student loans?!
How will the CEOs expand their helipads if they share the profits? There is Jeff Bezos over there building a mental support yacht for his mega sized yacht and going to space for vacation but his employees are wallowing. He's not supposed to give them all his money but he should pay them a decent livable wage. He upped the wages they say but he also cut the hours and works them like slaves and threatens unionization moves.
if they do it for one person, they would need to be in the business of paying off all new employees student debt and that makes no sense. you lot in America need to have free post secondary education in the first place
@kweeniepiez two things can be true at once
Delta could financially help out this extremely loyal employee, AND
America could give AF about it's taxpaying citizens and use OUR hard-earned money to help make society/our lives better
What a sweet guy. I can't wait for QE's new season, been missing these 5 amazing humans!
What a lovely Delta ad! Hopefully they sponsored a grant to pay off some/all of his student loans.
What a magnificent gift this show is for humanity. I love them all.
What a genuine, respectful guy. Can see his grandparents raised him well. I hope he finds joy with his partner.
ive never been so touched and moved by a person. Holmes is such a wonderful person and I hope he has realized how great he is doing in his life and God will make sure a man like this receives the life he is dreaming of. "A good man obtains favor from the Lord." I truly believe hes working his ass off like he should to have an amazing future. His wonderful girl Rose has his back, as well as his grandma from heaven.
PRAYERS THAT HOLMES AND HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE ROSE CONTINUE RECEIVING BLESSINGS !!
When bobby said "hey Google call pops" my google home called my dad
Love watching these episodes.Whenever I feel down or I’m loosing my sense of self I watch an episode and I feel inspired and confident.They always have a lovely message within them.Keep doing what you do ❤️
Why does this show always make me cry?? When he was reminiscing while making the pie I welled up when he did
QE from the first episode has given me such joy. The love, compassion, professionalism and care gives hope to your guests and to your viewers. What you did for this young man... and all your guests... is show them what they have how to work it and celebrate. I thank you for your example. Blessings to you all!
What a wholesome person Holmes is! A truly wonderful and sweet episode!
Wow. Holmes. What an incredible and special human being. As well as his amazing girlfriend and coworkers.
Another great Hero. I've missed this show so much - I Cannot wait for the new season. We need a LOT of wholesomeness and glow ups after this dreadful year.
Less than a month ago I flew 1600+ miles across the country to see my boyfriend (a former close friend for YEARS) … and he broke up with me 3 days into the 10 day trip. Thankful to see a happy experience from an LDR and a flight for once 😅 thank you QE
I think this is my favorite episode by far. I can relate so hard as someone also young and working so hard to get out of massive debt that makes you feel like you’re drowning and don’t have permission to enjoy things just yet
This guy deserves this sooo much! He is too young to be that anxious about the future and not to enjoy the present. And he is so nice, polite, hard working! He has the most beautiful smile! I hope this marks a turn in the way he's living his life!
And I hope he gets/makes some time for friends. Good luck, Holmes! ❤️❤️❤️
For years now, ever since I lived in Brooklyn, this show has meant so much to me. It’s a walking Pinterest board, like myself, and I can relate to each and every nominated person. Such great casting when it comes to these 5, and thanks for all the uplifting inspiration :)
Seeing Holmes cry broke my heart 😞 wish him all the best for his future. 🙏
Queer Eye really put his finances on blast, gave him a $70/week haircut program and told him good luck lmaooo! William was such a nice guy - I hope that they offered some financial support - they sure got paid with the Google & Lyft paycheck in this episode - so drop him so coin too!
$18/week, one cut a month. They got him a fully/beautifully furnished apartment, tablet, new wardrobe, grooming products (JVN could have gotten a store bought lip-scrub, but went homemade, to see that self care can be on a budget). I agree with other people that delta could have paid off his loans since they used for advertising. But I think even if it was a "add"episode, QE did their part amazingly
@@thaisalberti4613 $18/week with crippling student loans still isn't amazing. No one said they didn't do a good job. You know Queer Eye is a whole production - I'm not asking the hosts to open their pockets, the production is a different story.
It doesn’t matter. He loved it. He is going to enjoy it at max. He might find cheaper options. At least he now knows how it feels like when you do something nice for yourself
@@AurorasWindow it does matter lmaoooooo I didn't say he didn't enjoy it. Doesn't mean they can't do better next time.
I know, like don't exploit his life story without making sure the life you leave him is maintainable, these other comments aint it. no one realizes 18/hour in philly is nothing
This is probably going to go down as one of my favourite episodes from the series. What a perfect hero for them to work with. He was so ready to embrace change in all areas. All he needed was some support for his confidence in himself to completely blossom. So many hugs. You could tell he really needed each one.
This was so good! Delta, I am now a fan. Thank you Fab 5 and Delta and the wonderful manager who saw what a bright soul Holmes is and nominated him for this. (President Biden, please forgive student debt.)
The reason I subscribe to Netflix is Queer Eye ❤️so much comfort and love ❤️
What a nice surprise, as ALWAYS, this team can make my day I 45 minutes
Judy, the station manager who nominated him, deserves a lot of credit for it! And she is was so happy for him!
I remember what it was like to be Will. I was in a long distance relationship for about a year. Mostly, it was because of lack of funds. My girlfriend & I were each living with our respective relatives at the time. You get creative on finding inexpensive or free things to do. I feel like we got to know each other better because we appreciated time together. And, money didn't distract from the real us...
Made me cry, I AM SOOOOOO HAPPY FOR HIM, for his new found confidence, and his life ahead! His grandmother’s spirit is with him! Very apparent! 😃💯
The way I love them. Thank you, I was having such a bad week and now I'm feeling so full of love.
Honestly said "DAMN 👀" when sci-fi turned Holmes around in his chair at the end of his haircut... He is looking so confident and happy!
The hair is the only thing I didn't like. Felt like he could have looked better. He still looked good tho.
Aw, he's so sweet and so deserving and so dang handsome! A flawless transformation, Fab 5!
I’m disagreeing with a lot of people who say that Delta and QE or Netflix should have erased his debt! I think what QE & his Delta fam did for him is amazing! They gave him so many more tools to feel more confident and be successful in life. Yes, he has debt, we all do but he will get it paid off! Teaching him to live more and not just exist is the best lesson they could have given to him! He needed everything they gave him! He is such a handsome man and I don’t even know him but I’m super proud of him! Amazing story and amazing life he is living! Thank you Fab 5 for helping another person!!!
$70 haircut! That's my food budget for a month! Wow! I bet he won't be going back there. 😭
So great to see the fab 5 again!! Holmes is such a sweet guy :) glad he was able to express his emotions and show that it is ok to grieve
This episode could also be 5 min long with first 4 min getting his debt payed off and the dancing routine after
hey how else would he learn to find joy in the system that is crushing his soul
I just want to say that you guys are amazing! I cry every time i watch the episodes because that generosity/love you guys give to people is just beautiful!
Wants me to be a better person everytime I watch how you guys change lives
I think it would have been nice to see his roommate's reactions to the kitchen and bathroom makeovers. They share these spaces with Holmes and have benefited from their association with him.
What an amazing guy!!!
How beautiful
He's so grateful
