AJ Brown Before
Looking like a more polished Steve Urkel, it appears AJ isn’t in desperate need of a makeover. The episode soon reveals the Fab Five are here for an emotional transformation rather than a physical one. AJ is a closeted gay man in a deeply committed relationship (involving bondage gear) with a limited understanding of how to express his “gayness” to the world and his stepmother. After a breakthrough moment with Karamo, AJ develops the courage to tell his stepmother the truth and is accepted with open arms.
