"Alaskan Bush People" has changed up its setting over the years it's been on, with fans seeing the show's cast survive in places like Alaska and Washington. Cast member Bear Brown revealed that the family had lost its home in the Washington fires in 2020, per New York Daily News. And in the "Alaskan Bush People" Season 14 premiere, Gabe Brown helps in cutting down trees to help in the family's rebuilding efforts. At one point, the pair go to get help cutting the trees up, and Gabe's eyeliner is noted. "You're wearing eyeliner," Gabe is told, to which he just replies, "Yup."
That was that, but fans still have plenty of thoughts.
"Does Gabe have on eyeliner?!! Not very bush like! Or is that the latest fashion statement for the bush?!!" fan @FeliciaHardcas2 tweeted. "Looks like Gabe is ready for Halloween," user @marie5253 wrote. "Best part of the show," user @spasley74 added about the moment Gabe's eyeliner was actually acknowledged.
In a Reddit thread on the subject, some fans noted Gabe often posts eyeliner pictures on Instagram (as seen in the photo above), while others threw out theories that he was suddenly embracing a goth look, or perhaps going through heavy emotions and using fashion as a way to process his feelings. It's worth noting, in fact, that some viewers were actually all for Gabe's new look, such as Redditor u/Tight_Bandicoot4260, who wrote, "He just looks tuff as f*** and rock n roll... have you never seen their leather trench coats??"
