I don't know if anyone noticed, but if you go to the comments on the "Top Chef Masters" post on my blog, judge Jay Rayner commented. I e-mailed him at the Observer. It's really him. Cracks me up something fierce.
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]
bon bon and flea are totally my new favorites. It's so weird to be all time shift-y with the show. I do miss watching it with all my East Coast peeps.
Upon further reflection, I am a little salty that Maks is gone and Chbeeb is still here. I rewatched the performance night routines and Phillip was even worse than I remembered. I'm anticipating being miffed for the next couple of weeks as he sticks around while more well rounded dancers go home.
I'm pretty sure the judges felt the same way, based on what they were saying last night.
TCM: I did notice, victor! So great that it really was him! He must vanity image google!
I was time shifty, but I'm heading east now, but to other peoples' houses, so we'll see.
SYTYCD: I missed the dance show, but watched the internet versions, and I did see the elimination show. I am sorry Maks is gone, but out of the guys that ended up on the bottom I'm not all that shocked. I'm glad Kupono is still there but I don't know how much longer he will be with his level of skill. It will be interesting to see him matched with Kayla.
I missed the group dance altogether.

He posted so quick, he's probably got a Google Alert for his own name. (I can't cast stones. I've got one, too.)
I just noticed Jabbawockees (or whatever) in that Gatorade ad with all the different athletes -- cool!
flea & leNub, thanks for the offers! I just now followed the link and saw the routines. I'm having problems getting invested in this season because of my disjointed viewing, I guess. I haven't been able to vote.
My dad managed to completely blow my mind yesterday when I brought up this reality show that I've been watching called "So You Think You Can Dance," and his response was, "Oh, yeah, I've been watching that, too! Those kids can really dance, can't they?"
My dad does not watch movie musicals, isn't into reality shows at all, and usually sticks with History Channel, Discovery, or NASCAR and football games, so this is mindboggling!!
Perhaps it's the competitive aspect that gets him.
Hey, is Expedition Africa available On Demand?
Tivo cut off the end of the episode last night. (Yes, I have a Sunday night log jam right now.)
