'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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]
I also approved the episode because the contestants had an actual "clue" to figure out, challenges that didn't depend much on strength, and so on.
I'm not sure what a good idea that "free pass" was, though at least the team that got it seem to be non-obnoxious.
The main thing I'm liking about the Free Pass is that it's a one-time-only thing, so using it will be based on strategy, especially since it can't be used after the 8th leg.
Is the "Free Pass" like the original "Fast Forward"(i.e., there is one every leg, not just a couple over the whole race) so that most teams have a chance to use it?
No, I think the Free Pass was a one-time thing for the one team who won it.
I like the reunited bio mom/daughter team, simply because of the awww factor, and the acapella guys, because they're funny. The LA actors were another favorite, until they bombed. Oh, and the doctors! They're pretty cool.
I had big plans to catch up on TAR last night only to be thwarted by the football delay! I'll have to find time to watch it online.
I just watched last weeks Just Desserts and there was so much drama I had to fast forward through large chunks of it.
Anyone else watching ANTM? Last week was the makeover with a - SURPRISE! - rejection right afterwards. And the girl who cried all through her haircut and didn't carry off her new look well enough was sent home.
Then they had the girls being "fallen angels" - hanging from a bar in a harness with black costumes and wings ... Tyra's cracked up, right? Not as bad as when she had the girls being "hapa" - weird mash-ups of ethnicities (TWOP referred to it as having the girls in blackface), but she's OTT.
We actually watched the whole Chopped Champions season, and the finale was tonight. I cried! It was actually really good, if slightly manipulative of the tears at the end. I was so surprised! It's always been one of those shows we just watch out of habit more than real interest.

And then the girl whose eyebrows she had DYED WHITE to go with her dark brown hair! CRAZY!!!!

Okay, srsly, why did they do that to that girl? The dark hair was okay, but bleaching her brows made her look weird.
