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]

Oh, yeah, and isn't yellowfin tuna the new one that's having problems and shouldn't be fished right now? Doesn't Tom go on about stuff like that from time to time, know your ingredients?

Also, I covet his house.

There was something else I had to OMG about, but now I can't remember. Reality overload.

According to the fish/seafood guide I just got at the Monterey Aquarium last week, Yellowfin is a "good alternative" but only if it is caught by trolling or with a pole (not via longline).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I've thought about the rent issue on the reality tv front. A single person could just give up their apartment and put stuff in storage or whatever. It did kill me how stupid Amanda was all worked up about how she's doing this for her kid, when Jonathan was just silently fretting about his wife and kid's continued ability to make the rent. I'm assuming Amanda's kid is with her parents?

Is anyone watching The Fashion Show? I already have a favorite, Reco, who said "harem pants--just the couture word for Hammer pants. Whatever."

Because books.

I am. It's very odd -- it's so clearly a copy of Runway.

I don't have a favorite yet.

Art Crawl!!!

I am too. I don't have a favorite either. . . .but I do love watching Isaak Mizrahi looking at the works in progress.

Punishingly Intricate

I don't know that Allison should win ANTM (she was way too nervous at the go-sees) but I want her to win after she did this

Winston!

Man, I watched MMaSM last night and I was so worried they were going to keep Amanda for one more week. god. what a freaking idiot.

I think the final probably deserves to be Jonathan, Jordan, & Sandhurst. But I think it may end up being Salome instead of Jordan.

I'm worried that Jonathan is going to be too upset about what's going on at home and he's going to screw up somehow.

I know Jordan is more stereotypically model-like but I hope it's either Salome or Moutaha along with those two men. Either of them is more interesting looking to me than Jordan.

Michelle Obama spotted at Good Stuff, the restaurant owned by Spike from Top Chef. Clearly, the Obamas love a good burger, as Barack and Joe Biden went to Ray's Hell Burger (another local burger joint) last week.

I'm annoyed at ANTM on principle again, for having the final challenge be a runway, when they do so little walking over the course of the season.
