'Never really got what karamo does'
A viewer on Twitter asked, "Does everyone know that Karamo is superfluous in Queer Eye because his part is the worst in each episode?" Another viewer quipped, "Karamo figuring out how to make people cry on Queer Eye." Seeing Karamo bring in people to help his heroes, another tweeted, "How does Karamo still have a job on Queer Eye……… What does he do???" Calling his advice 'generic' another person tweeted, "Every episode of Queer Eye is Antoni being hot as hell, Karamo giving the most generic life advice and then Bobby just building an entire home."
On Reddit, people showed some concern on him being on the show as they write, "How do they handle Karamo being a victim blaming hate figure nowadays? I’m so scared he’s going to destroy the credibility of a show that I truly love by acting like he didn’t try to destroy that poor lady for reviewing that damn pink sauce." Another person added, " I’ve been over Karamo for awhile now- which makes me sad, because I initially loved him. He pretty much always comes off as condescending these days, and every clip I see of his show makes it look like absolute ridiculous trash." Talking about his interaction with the heroes, one person wrote, "Did anyone else feel a bit awkward with the chat with Karamo though? It felt like he was trying to get an emotional breakdown out of him talking about his childhood."
Another Redditor trashed him saying, "I can't with Karamo and his fake Oprah wannabe bull. After he ran out and got that trash talk show, Karamo (? please lol), I will always give him the side eye. I always felt he was a bit disingenuous but never fully admitted it cause I was a fan and wanted to give the Fab 5 the benefit of the doubt. Now it's so obvious he's just a shameless self promoter. Gross." Another person asked, "tbh i never really got what karamo does on the show. I get that he tries to create an emotional connect with the people but , in my opinion, Jonathon does a much better job doing that."
Season 7 of 'Queer Eye' is now available for streaming on Netflix.
