I still like Fabio, though. He's funny and he can be gently snarky in his confessionals, but he's always a gentleman otherwise.

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]
that is a cool word. too bad I will never ever be able to pronounce it.
eh, just go for it. I think that I pronounced schadenfreude wrong for about 5 years, but it was too cool of a word not to use.
I still like Fabio, though. He's funny and he can be gently snarky in his confessionals, but he's always a gentleman otherwise.
He's absolutly my favorite.
I love Fabio. And his whole speech about respecting the animals didn't sound like the usual reality-show playing for the camera.
Top Chef: Yeah, my love-on for Fabio has done nothing but grow. In our house, we like his snark. It doesn't get personal. I think Stefan has even begun to wear on Fabio, because we don't see those two bonding together the way they used to. I definitely think show fatigue has set in now for a lot of the contestants. Restaurant Wars may break them.
I miss Gene! I'm ready for Leah to go, for sure.
Idol: I watched the first episode, but I don't know if I can take it. I think it's just not my show. It should be, but I can't abide its format and judges. Which is pretty much the whole shebang.
Dance Crew: Love! Cannot believe the Heat group survived, but the other all-girl team kicked it. And sytycd's Hok! And crazy cloggers! Gonna be a fun season.
Top Chef: Oh, oh! I forgot to add! I loved that the new judge's "unprotected sex" comment made Tom just blink. Hee!
Hee.
Man, the more I think about it the worse I feel about this episode. How could they have had such excellent, fresh ingredients and done so poorly? They did better in the quickfire with the processed food!
dance crew! I forgot to watch. Gee, I wonder if MTV will rerun it anytime soon...
I don't start watching Idol until at least Hollywood week.
I caught the first ep of Chopped this afternoon, and...I don't understand this show. I just really don't get it.
Ted Allen should really stick to gigs where he gets to give advice as himself. He's a wonderful judge (Iron chef) and coach (Queer Eye), but a terrible host.
