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

LEON!
I accidentally posted this in bureau--
I'm watching ABDC randomly at the moment, and it is so not grabbing me. I saw an episode the other week, of some kind of regional finals or something. The episode I'm watching now is Lada Gaga...and the crews are not great for me (OK, just the three I've seen, earlier ones in the ep may have been awesome--the one did mention they've been in the bottom the last two weeks!)
I watched the Hooters "Undercover Boss" and it made me so angry. Ooooooooh. I wanted to smack people.
How could you not watch new ANTM? Andre Leon Talley in a turban and a caftan. That is all.
Oh also, Undercover Boss is excellent reality TV crack. So manipulative and yet soooo satisfying. The episode with the Hooters dude was rage inducing, but all of the other ones have been cheap tears, cheese-fests. Did you see it this past Sunday? The 7-11 driver from Kazakhstan who kept talking all that "only in America/What a country!" blah blah like some modern day Yakov Smirnoff? And then the boss gives him and his wife, who only see each other two days a week because he works nights and she works days but that lets them be like lovers, an all expenses paid vacation so they can spend enough time togehter to get sick of each other like a good American pair should do? O. Em. Gee. I admit that I kind of love this creepy, fake show.

Is he a judge this time around? I'm trying to stay away from ANTM...
Yes, Ms. Jay has finally gotten sick of Tyra is pursuing other things.

He's replacing Miss Jay and you know that shit is about to start getting amazing! I would pay folding money to see Fivehead and the gay giant that made her famous try to share diva space. So, so good. I haven't been a regular ANTM watcher since the season when Jaslene won, but I will be back for ALT. Oh, yes.
ALT grew up in Durham, NC, raised by his grandmother who was a housekeeper at Duke. He buried her in a Chanel suit. His autobiography about it is fascinating, and manages to completely elide the question of his sexuality.
there is no question about his sexuality.
Did that start already? Did I miss it?
