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]
And let me specify that I have a lot of respect for good burlesque and pole dancing.
Skeevy Dudes. Do not fondle the Deeley. Or make her fondle you.
The rhythmic gymnast - it just looked like a series of tricks, to me. But it was enough for the judges.
Cristina - solid Latin dancer. Wasn't surprised by her partner not making it through.
Taylor - I liked how she danced on the edge of control, but she clearly fell short in the choreo round. And I feel for her, but boy am I tired of the stories.
Alexie - oh hell yes. The way she danced, the joy of her movement, even her outfit all fit the song.
Beret tap chica - I agreed with Nigel. The tapping was way too heavy for the song. But the talent was clear.
the cheerleader had NO musicality. at.all.
I am loving the small town boy. I wonder if he's playing it up, in which case I say do what you gotta do! I'm surprised that they didn't send him to Vegas, he was really good!
Vortex, I agree. I thought he was great and had an understanding of dynamics frequently missing from these auditions.
I hate this cheerleader sooo much. Words just cannot even describe. Did she dance at all? Nigel wants to do her, that's all. I don't know what Shankdaddy was talking about. She's going to get crushed in Vegas and I am going to enjoy it.
All that time on Hella Hung? I refuse. Come on, SYTYCD.
Word, kat.
I want Jarrell to dance at my wedding, not because he's "inspiring" but because he's *awesome*. "I want to feel what music tastes like." Yes!
Rhythmic gymnast girl did a really lovely rhythmic gymnastics routine. I think she's loaded with talent and potential. Once again, I think Vegas is going to chew her up and spit her out. I doubt she has the necessary facility to pick up the choreography. I would love to see her with some training under her belt. Her transitions were sloppy, sloppy and it looked like, well, like a floor routine, not a dance routine. What-ev.
Who's middle lady judge? She's totally useless.
Hated every single hair flinging nightmare girl in the California girl montage. Dear god in heaven. It's gotta get better than this, right?
Christina Santana- Awww, cutie. I remember her from last year. Yay. I'm glad she's back. And she does pull the eye. Indeed. Firecracker. I agree with Adam. Even though he called that fool "peppy". You're wrong for that. I think it's totally fair to make Peppy do choreo.
Taylor Costello - Hate sob stories. Shut up and dance. She's clearly had training and she's clearly had talent, but all the flailing and hair flinging. Just, ugh! Damn competition kids. They can ruin good young dancers. She has a spark, though. I am glad that they made her do choreo. It's kind of maddening, though. How can they make the right call on her but let the gymnast and the cheerleader go straight through?
Okay, I know that I hate Rick, but he should have been eliminated. He disrespected the protein!!! That's a cardinal rule!
Oh, Alexie. I loved her last year. She's even more gorgeous. Now that is control, ladies. Live it. Love it. Be all about it.
The montage girls were much better, too!
Melinda - I hope you are as cross trained as you claim. And why did she choose that particular Stevie song to tap to? I was distracted. I'd have perferred her to do it without music. Ah, and the judges and I are as one. She's really quite talented.
Ryan - Yeah, nobody cares about your money woes, horse face girl. Can you dance? Then, bring it. OK, it has been broughten. She's ridiculous. In a very Mia way. I agree that she's not a dynamic personality. But to put this girl through to choreo when the cheerleader went straight to Vegas? Total bullshit.
