This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anyone have any idea what the deal is with a Top Chef reunion? Shouldn't that be running tonight? I'm so confused -- they've never done it *after* the finale before, but they are doing the fan favorite thing, right?

On a previous Bravo series -- was it the last Project Runway? -- they had no reunion show, and just announced fan favorite during the finale or something. Maybe they are over the reunion shows? Could Andy Cohen have realized he's not the best TV host??

Because books.

Could Andy Cohen have realized he's not the best TV host??

Heh. Stephen was all, "Maybe they realized I don't want to watch one because HE SUCKS." My husband -- not an Andy Cohen fan, apparently.

Maybe they are over the reunion shows?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Also, someone on my friends list said she spotted Arianne as a sous chef for the competitor on Iron Chef America last episode. Anyone else see it?

We did! We found ourselves strangely excited to see her. Which is odd, as she was never a favorite. Still, cool. (We were also excited to see Trey from a couple seasons ago as a sous chef on it a while back.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, ick!

Poor Carla. I wish she had had more confidence in her own cooking

They gave her a sous chef. And Casey is string enough in the kitchen that Carla's deferential streak kicked in.

And she needs to not beat herself up over it. She came in effectively tied for second place. There's no shame in finishing that close. It means you're competetive at this level. I'm sure not winning hasn't taken Stefan down a peg at all.

Oh, I'm so disappointed! Fucking Casey.

Also, I can't believe they said "twat" on TV.

But really: Fucking Hosea??? And did Tom look less than thrilled when they did the round of, "Do we have a winner?"?
