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]
Does anybody watch Ninja Warrior? I'm wondering what happened to the parkour guys. I miss Levi Meeuwenberg and Brian Orosco.
OK, so our SYTYCD all-stars are:
Neil the hunchback, Twitch, Dominic, Pasha, Ade, Mark.
Courtney, Anya, Misha Chan, Comfort, Allison, Kathryn.
So, 12 total, and 10 contestants.
So, I'm seeing the end of AI which is running a bit late tonight apparently, seeing the recaps and I was not impressed
I'm OK with all the men except Dom, though the Hunchback would not have been my first choice for third contempo boy. For the girls, obviously I'm very far from OK with Mischa Chan, and while I like Courtney, there were far better contemporary girls. I guess they're going to have Mischa Chan do double duty as a hip hop girl with Comfort? That is also disappointing. But hey, Allyson! And Kathryn! And Pasha and Anya! And Mark!!!!!
So, 12 total, and 10 contestants.
I'm glad you kept track of that. How strange.
Man, watching Jonathan Waxman on Top Chef makes me wish I had eaten at Barbuto more. I think I went there once -- a friend lived basically across the street for a while.
And from that article:
But what you won't see are the more discerning criticisms, best left to the pros: Dufresne shouldn't have removed the casings from his sausage because it dried out the meat, Moonen should have sliced his chips thinner so they‘d be less unwieldy. And Rayner and Greene really took Bowles to task for his obvious disdain for kidneys, masking their presence with other flavors.
I'm pretty sure we saw all of that in the episode.
I agree, Jesse. And Bowles calling Waxman "Chef Kenobi" was awesome. I really like Waxman.
I'm watching Hoarders for the first time, and OMG. I can't even *watch* this, it freaks me out so much.
