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]
I think it's possible to be frustrated with not winning while still being gracious about it. Richard is just a dick.
Carla Hall is joining the Board for DC Central Kitchen, a great non profit in DC.
The models on this cycle of ANTM are less than inspiring. Last season had Anne who was such a curious little creature that she kept me interested. This year, I agree, nobody stands out. I'm holding out for a miraculous post-makeover transformation maybe? Except for how Tyra's makeovers just always make the girls look 10 million ways crazy with busted weaves and bad dye jobs so . . . yeah, I got nothing. I may be done with ANTM, too.
Tyra's said that she really hates Sara's ... rattail? is that the word? for the little braid of hair going down her back, so we know that's going to go right away. And I think the makeovers are next week - they were showing previews of girls getting their hair done (over sounds of sobbing, as usual).
And last night one girl just ... quit. Ondrei, was that her name? resigned, left before judging ... and they still sent another girl home.
I loved Top Chef! It was so wonderful to see all five chefs do so well, but the elimination was killing me! I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
Richard is kind of a dick, isn't he? Did he really say that he was the last of the really good chefs left in the competition? He has a HUGE ego.
I'm excited to see the returning winners next week. I really hope Stephanie kicks Richard's ass!
Yeah, Richard was kind of a dick. I don't know if he's really that full of himself or just trash talking. He seems to think that if you don't use a bunch of crazy techniques, you're not a chef, and the remaining chefs are all very strong on the basics.
BTW, how much did I love Carla using the liquid nitrogen!!!
I actually respected Tyra and the crew for sending two girls home last night. Ondrei's photo was not the worst. And the girl who went home did, in fact, photograph older than her 20 years.
I felt badly for that Ondrei girl, but seriously? Both of your brothers pass away suddenly and you decide that now is the time that you should go on Top Model? OK.
ANTM: well, so far none of them seems to be a raging bitch or batshit crazy. But there is time for that to show up. The kerfuffle about the chicken might be a sign of craziness to come.
Wow, that was a stressful judges table on TC! I can't imagine how stressed the chefs were, because I was certainly stressed out. I would have liked to have seen Richard go home just for being an asshat, but it is nice to see that they all cooked such delicious food for that challenge. Is next week the finale or just part 1 of the finale?
