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]
TC:M - the complaints about needing a knife and fork to eat one fried shrimp are boggling my mind. You pop it in your mouth and chew, people, it's not hard.

I adore Evan. But I think what bothers me about him is not just that he doesn't, but how he thinks he can't change his motion. Just do it, brother. I love African dance and started incorporating the motion as soon as I'd seen it. Just as a kid, you know. I think dancers, like musicians, are better off for having been exposed to other styles of their art from early on. Try it out, see how it feels. And throw yourself into it. Are you going to look foolish sometimes? Yes, you totally are. Are you going to grow from it? Absolutely.
That's why I miss the loss of our shiny toy so much, because of his passion to explore the other genres of dance. That's a hungry artist, and one who will find his art worth pursuing.

The tail is the fork in Italy, no?
Chiarello is so skeevy! Ew.
Oh yeah, I mixed up which guy.
I am willing to believe that the tail is the fork anywhere people eat shrimp.

Seriously, given that when you eat mussels in France you use the first of the empty shells as your fork for the others, I'm willing to believe that the tail would be the fork in Italy, despite what Catherine de Médicis might say.
Big Brother: I feel like it's been a long time since there's been an eviction vote that wasn't totally lop-sided because "that's what we're supposed to do!" Intruiging. In a BB context, of course...
