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]
Yeah, I definitely understand MCB's decision. And I definitely am sad we don't get our shiny Alex toy.
Yeah, he was hot in that WSS number. Part of it is just my competence kink. He was there, passionately doing what he knows he does best, and that's just attractive to me. But that wasn't all of it, for sure. I would have liked to have seen both of them in there, to see how they handled things together. But that's okay.
How old is Ryan? Because dance is such a young man's game, but choreography is not. So I'd say dance while you can.
I thought Ryan was better than Evan in both the WSS number and in Mia's contemporary piece, but I still think that Evan is a better contestant for the show. I can't see 14 year olds picking up the phone or making sparkly signs that say "Vote 4 Ryan" or "Ryan Rox". The show has to play to their demographic. Also, maybe since they are having another season basically right after this one finishes, maybe they'll bring Ryan back for the fall SYTYCD.
It would be great to bring him on as a choreographer. I think he'd be tons better at chroegraphing Broadway for the show than Tasty Oreo.
I suppose a 33 year old making sparkly signs wouldn't have the same effect, would it? Because I would be willing to do that, for the cause, and you all know what a sacrifice that is for me, as my anti-sparkly bias is on record.
I am so obsessed with this show, aren't I? I just rewatched the announce the top twenty show with the SO.
I am still so baffled by Mia's comments to Brandon. "I don't like what you bring to the dance floor?" What is that? I don't understand what she's saying, even. Attitude?
I think they were both just pushing back at how great everybody said he was going to be.
Also, I am sad at losing my shiny Alex toy and the second Kasprzak all over again.
Yeah, I think that he was really upped by Mary and Ms. Allen, so their expectations were through the roof. Mia was kind of nasty about it, although you have to appreciate her frankness. I know many people whose physical mannerisms annoy me for no particular reason, so I could understand that, but not why she was such a bitch about it.
a friend of mine on lj has a daughter that it's the competitive dance circuit and she had this to say about the Mia/Brandon thing.
"Okay so Mia and her little bitchfreak over Brandon? So scripted. So scripted. Mia had Brandon in a workshop this summer which a couple of people from our studio went to and loved him there. That little hissy fit was pure television drama. Trust me."
oh and poor Adam Shankman tweeted his phone number and email address for all to see today. i was cringing for the poor man.

Yeah, how else do you have some kind of emotional arc. So weird.
Also with the Alex thing. This makes no sense to me that it would go this far, so I have to guess that Alex will be in next season.
OMG. that's crazy shit. did she have to go that far in her remarks though?
That's nuts.
ION, I was watching What Not To Wear, and two things: 1. I really like that they are now summarizing everything the person ended up buying, so you can see that it really is a whole wardrobe, and 2. I wonder how much it would cost just to have Carmindy look at me and tell me what's great about my face.
