As Bravo readies new episodes of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" for November, the show's stars are about to become wealthier.

The "Fab Five" of Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley and Jai Rodriguez have finalized a new contract with Bravo's parent, NBC, and Scout Productions, which produces "Queer Eye," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The new deal, which is awaiting signatures from both sides, will more than double the salaries for the five.

The group's original contract paid the makeover mavens $3,000 per episode of "Queer Eye." Once the show became Bravo's biggest hit, however, the Fab Five started to talk about renegotiating their deals. They did so as a united front, similar to what the cast of "Friends" has done in the past.

Their strategy didn't result in "Friends"-type money, but they will be paid $8,000 each for future episodes, which is pretty good for a few days' work. The new contract also states that they'll be paid extra when episodes of "Queer Eye" are repurposed for NBC.

Allen, Douglas, Filicia, Kressley and Rodriguez are free to pursue commercials and other endorsements on their own, but NBC will have approval rights over anything that uses the Fab Five nickname, which NBC co-owns with Scout.

New episodes of "Queer Eye" are scheduled to begin Tuesday, Nov. 18 on Bravo.
