What's Happening?
Bobby Berk, a former design expert on Netflix's 'Queer Eye', has expressed dissatisfaction with the streaming service for not informing him in advance about the show's conclusion after its tenth season. Berk announced his new HGTV show, 'Junk or Jackpot?', just a day after Netflix's announcement, leading to speculation about the timing. Berk clarified that the announcement date for his new show was predetermined and not a reaction to Netflix's news. He mentioned that even his former co-star, Karamo Brown, questioned the timing. Berk had been part of 'Queer Eye' for eight seasons before leaving, and his role was taken over by Jeremiah Brent.
