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]
Also, possibly the first U-turn leg with noone getting on their high horse about how "unethical" it is to use it.
I know! Even Chad's taunting was obnoxious, but not entirely uncalled for - he admitted he was just trying to slow her down.
And Vicki went up ten points in my estimation for insisting that her team should skip using it.
ITA. I don't blame Jill & Thomas for using theirs (you never know when a lead like they had is going to evaporate, and there is ALWAYS a bunch-up before the finale), but Vicki gets a ton of respect for saying "We already know we're going to beat them, we don't need this."
OTOH, this was the same team who didn't know what the Fast Forward was, so I might be giving them too much credit.
Chad and Stephanie are expecting, and got married this weekend: [link]
Awww. Here's hoping that it's a happy marriage for them, and they never have to travel anywhere in a hurry....
Woooooo! Mia Michaels isn't going to judge anymore on SYTYCD! Thank goodness! I really don't think she added anything to the judging at all, and it really seemed like it was Mia and Adam vs. Nigel all the time. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really do hope they bring Mary Murphy back.
Noooo! Not Mary Murphy and her squealing!! Aaaagh. For all the once in a rare while that she says something coherent about ballroom, there's so many MORE times where she's a gushing pile of "OW, MY EARS"
I love Mia, and would gladly have her judge, as long as she also got to choreograph (OK, some of her choreo I don't love, but some is awesome). Mostly I want to go to a dinner party with her, but that's beside the point...
ETA: Hmm, a reality show on Bravo? That might work for me! :)
I wish they would go back to having a rotating judge slot.
I prefer Mia over Mary. Mary is a good judge, but I can't stand the shrieking.
I actually sort of enjoy Mary's shrieking. I find her insanity endearing, for some strange reason. I adore the majority of Mia's choreography, but I didn't enjoy her as much on the judging panel.
But I'm also pretty sure that there's nothing in the world that could damage my love for SYTYCD.
