Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own

This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Russell wasn't really in the bottom 2. God knows why they put him in there (more pimping?) but he wasn't in danger.

That's why I felt bad for Brandon -- it felt like adding insult to injury.

They've even gone to the trouble of completely whitewashing his significant dance training a la Joshua. (Or is it krumpwashing?)

I was pretty sure that he said that he had been trained in other styles when he auditioned, but when he was asked in Vegas, he said that he didn't have any other training. Maybe to give himself a better chance?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, there's some Top Chef dinner conversation you don't expect to see.

Padma, Tom and Natalie Portman (plus unnamed friend) riffing on blow-jobs.

What is going on with my girl Jen? I think she's done. Emotionally, if not according to the judges tonight.

Because books.

I agree on both counts, brenda. I read somewhere that Natalie Portman has said she has the sense of humor of a twelve-year-old boy, though.

That was hilarious.

How come no one made a starch? Did I miss something?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I can't remember exactly what Russell said in Vegas, but I remember it being ambiguous -- in any case, the fox website says: [link]

Russell Ferguson started dancing when he was 3 years old and began dancing professionally at age 6. He trained at the Boston Art Academy and has worked with Boston City Lights. His interests include acting, singing, drawing, rapping and making music.

And it's obvious to even a casual observer to me that he has training in other styles, so the judges must be aware, aside from the above.

There were some potatoes in there, but no one made pasta or rice, which surprised me. Or couscous, actually.

Also, stupid Mike Voltaggio can lay off my Kevin!!

Agreed, Jesse. Michael's dish might have been inventive and cute, but Kevin delivered a hearty meal. I adore Kevin.

I also made victory arms during the elimination. So relieved.
