He's a Little Bit Country: John B. is the fourth episode of the first season of the makeover show Queer Eye. In this episode, the Fab Five meet John B., a 57-year-old bachelor who lives alone in his remote farmhouse in Dallas, Georgia. John is a self-proclaimed "redneck" who loves everything country, including hunting, fishing, and wearing camouflage.
The Fab Five's mission is to transform John into a more stylish and confident version of himself. They start by giving his house a much-needed makeover, adding some much-needed color and texture to the interior. Next, they tackle John's personal style, taking him shopping for new clothes and helping him understand how to dress to impress.
The episode focuses heavily on the theme of masculinity and how it relates to personal style. John initially resists the Fab Five's attempts to make him wear brightly colored clothes, arguing that his country style is part of his identity. However, over the course of the episode, he begins to see that he doesn't have to compromise his identity to look good.
Throughout the episode, the Fab Five work to break down John's walls and help him open up emotionally. They encourage him to talk about his past relationships, which have left him feeling disillusioned and distrustful of women. With their guidance, John is able to confront his fears and anxieties and begin to move forward in his life.
Overall, He's a Little Bit Country: John B. is a heartwarming and transformative episode that emphasizes the power of self-expression and personal growth. Through the Fab Five's guidance, John is able to shed his old identity and embrace a new, more confident version of himself.
