"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," one YouTube commenter wrote.
"Loved the episode but was SOO disappointed they didn't erase his student loan debt," a second commenter wrote. "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."

"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," a third wrote. Another fan wrote, "I am truly flabbergasted that Delta did not offer to pay off at least a fraction of this young man's student loans?!"
"Delta and QE should have paid off a portion (or even all) of this guys debt," yet another viewer wrote. Some else replied, "Seriously. That's what I came to comment too. The amount of promotion in this episode and they didn't pay of his debt?"

"This episode could also be 5 min long with first 4 min getting his debt payed off and the dancing routine after," another person quipped. A more positive Queer Eye fan wrote, "I like these new 5. I wish they helped him a bit with his debt. Overall, this make over show makes you feel good."
"Just watched the latest @QueerEye and is is such a SHAME that @Delta
