Iman is the shit on PR: Canada. I cannot fucking wait for this.
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]
Theo,
I know what you mean by additional reporting, but Dan & Jordan mentioned how homophobic the cowboys were in an interview with The Advocate (at least I've seen this mentioned) so I think that might be all the corroboration I need.
I'm so disappointed in Jet. Oh, Cowboys. Why couldn't you stay gold?
I just read the Iman news. I didn't watch The Fashion Show S1 because it just seemed like a desparate PR rip off, but you best believe I will be there for Iman. Oh, my word! I just hope she doesn't turn out to be underwhelming like ALT on Top Model. Glad to hear good things about her stint on PR Canada. Poor Kelly Rowland. First dumped by Beyonce now fired from TFS.
She was USELESS. She looked good in clothes and that was about it.
kat,
I don't know what they will allow Iman to do, but she really was terrific in PR Canada. SO much better than Heidi it was embarrassing. She is also incredibly blunt so during judging she was hilarious.

So kind of like Destiny's Child all over again?
Does that make Isaac Mizrahi Bey? I hope no one was Michelle because that would just be sad.
So kind of like Destiny's Child all over again?
pretty much. I think that I made a similar comment during the show.
Can Lee ever start a song on pitch? Just once this season, I would like to see it. And Kiss From a Rose? Seriously? This is the kind of artist you want to be? The kind that makes nonsense songs for superhero movies where the leadfing characters have plastic nipples on their suits? OK, Sparky. And he was out of tune throughout. He never found the notes. And it was boring as hell as usual. I'm so over this kid. Ellen, he's not good. Let it go. Judge #4, we are not talking about last week. Talk about this week. Some out of tune issues? The bitch couldn't hit a note with a sledgehammer tonight.
Big Mike. How many times can he get the stair treatment with the pimp lighting and the choir and the whole rigamarole? And Will You Be There? Singing something from Free Willy? Instant fail. And he started the song way too low. And he's still a cheesy fuck. Boo.
Lee/Crystal on Falling Slowly. This was nice, and Crystal sounded amazing. Lee biffed the last note. Not unexpected. I did appreciate how they rearranged the song and turned into something more rocking, I guess. But sorry, kids. Kris Allen destroyed this song last year. End of story. When will they ever learn? Don't redo a song that a previous Idol had their Idol moment on. Just please make sure that Big Mike and Casey don't try to do Summertime.
Casey singing a countryfied Mrs. Robinson is an interesting choice. Sad that he looks kind of like Tiny Tim perched there amongst the Swaybots . . . who are still doing the above the head sway clap when he's sitting right damn there and you don't need to have your hands up and just what the . . . who . . . why? Die, Swaybots, die. Anyway, he did a nice job with this song. Kind of sleepy and boring. I wouldn't mind hearing it on the muzak while I shopped at Whole Foods or something. But I wouldn't buy a whole CD of that.
Mamasox. And she chose Kenny Loggins. Huh? Well. Let's see how this goes. She's a great singer. She sounds amazing. And she's trying to do some interesting things with it . . . trying to make it not what it is. But, you know, it is what it is. A kind of crappy, jam song. Whatever. She's still a million times better than anyone else on the show. And she's super cute. And props to anyone who can claim their man when said man shows up in American flag sweatpants. Because that's just a whole world of no.
And Big Mike will break out the Brian Adams. Of course he will. Of course. I bet my ass it's the shitty Robin Hood song. I will love Casey forever if he makes Big Mike do the "Whoops, just missed it!" faux high five that Sting and one of the other ones (Can't remember if it was Rod or Brian) did in the video.
OK, Don Juan de Marco. Equally cheesy. And Cowboy Casey's goat voice vibrato is in full effect. Yick. And again, as much as I hate him, frikkin' Daughtry had a moment with this song back in his season. Why even go there? And for half the song, they both were singing melody. I don't know who was supposed to be singing harmony. I think it was Big Mike, but for the most part that person totally fell down on the job. And then when Big Mike finally decided to sing harmony, he was off pitch. Casey really should just go ahead and be a guitar player and be all about that because he's amazing. And Big Mike should just go away.
I wish Big Mike would go home. I think Big Mike may go home.
Scrap that, I with this season were over. Just hand Mamasox the damn crown already. I tire of all these fools.
ANTM: two-hour finale tonight (just to warn anyone who didn't notice and wants to watch or DVR or something)
Oh, awesome. I'm so sick of that show! (I realize I could have just stopped watching, in theory.)
