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]
PR:
Can they even
pretend at this point that prior performance doesn't count, because, seriously, Emilio should have gone home for that nasty piece of work.
Is anyone else really tired of Mila at this point? I'm
glad she didn't win in the end. Jay's outfit was incredible.
Watched. That was some good teevee. I almost felt bad for Coach!
Re: Mila -
eventually, she's gonna et booted for being a total one note. Srsly. I'm tired of this color blocking black and bullshit. If tha's all people wanted, the 60's would have never gone out of style and I'd beposting this wearing a patent leather mini skirt.
Which I am, but that's not the point.
Okay, are you guys posting actual spoilers? (Which I don't want to see. . . or are you posting about last night's show?)
BTW, my tivo thought that the repeat at 8 central was the Hardware show and called the new episode something entirely different.
It was interesting that despite the two judges that had never been on the show before they auffed the guy who has been consistently wrong. I don't know what this means. . . possibly that the two judges who are there regularly swayed the opinion or that they really, really hated the one guy's outfit even though they thought that Emilio had misunderstood the project.
Can they even pretend at this point that prior performance doesn't count?
Have they been saying that? I haven't watched last night's (I, er, put it on, immediately paused it and left it paused for two hours while I read old Bureaucracy posts. Something is wrong with me), but but they have always talked about contestants' (that's not the word I want, is it?) previous work, except last year the judges weren't around consistently enough to be able to include previous work...
Because I don't know where else to put this... The League of Extraordinary Dancers gave a TED talk. V. little talking, mostly dancing. [link] Stick around, the last is the best.
I love seeing breakdancing turned into group choreography, and to live music no less!
I do wish Lil C had done a better job of staying in the spotlight for his solo.
that was really fucking good. I got a kick out of the dancers talking about dance and almost fully using their bodies when they gave their intro segments. You could really tell that physically is how they communicate. Period.
I thought that the Lil C issue was a problem with the camera work, not him. Their camera work left a lot to be desired. Too set up for single, solitary speakers.
No, they're from last night sumi. I was just being ... overly cautious?
PR: Yeah, that was ridic. Emilio so should have gone home over that monstrosity. And he had so much cord he totally could have made something that at least covered her freaking body. And it was pink! Godawful.
This was one of those challenges where I think about what I'd do, and although I am so not a designer, it seems like great fun. I think I would have tried landscape fabric as the base and a garden hose hat/collar/thinger. It would have been ridiculous, but ridiculous fun.
OTOH, Jay's outfit was unbelievably gorgeous. I was worried when he stated his premise, but I can't argue with the execution. I also thought Maya's was lovely, and creative, a good use of materials.
I loved Amy's outfit too!
