This thread is part of an experiment to discern the Buffistas' future interest in television discussion. It will remain open until June 1st, 2007, upon which date there will be spirited debate regarding the infinite possibilities for our board's development. This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]
His face and Alex's both. That last 20 minutes or so was more fun than Survivor's been in yonks. I loved the ever-shifting plans, and Dreamz running back and forth between the camps. I'm a little sorry he's so exposed now, because he's really entertaining right now.
Interesting that the Boys Club has done exactly what they worried about in the beginning - created a large opposing alliance simply by being so obvious.
People are right-- this cross-pollination is making me consider Shear Genius. I saw the judging portion of the first episode and it just seemed way too subjective (Jaclyn Smith?!). But maybe I need to watch the other portions as well.
Planet Earth: the DVDS appear to have the original narration.
Shear Genius: Well, however subjective the judging appears to be -- so far I have agreed with it!

Th judges seem to have different opinions but the decisions they've come to so far have made sense with what we've heard of their critiques. It's not as random as what I saw of (yaaawwwn) Top Design.

Oh gawd yes: the baby pygmy hogs!
DCista Project Runway fans - Tim Gunn's going to be appearing and signing books tomorrow (4/21). 11:00 (I think) at Lambda Rising (Dupont Circle) and 2:00 (?) at Olssens Penn Quarter.

Concur - I agreed with both the winners of each round and the people eliminated.
Well, I didn't see the first ep, but Bravo's been running the second one around the clock, and I do NOT agree with the judges decision. I liked the bright red, and thought "Oh shit, I'll just put your hair in an updo and hope nobody notices"-girl should have gone home.
Here's a question - do the mannequin heads they're using have human hair? Because if not, the coloring challenge was even less realistic than it seemed.
I want the Halle Berry cut the redhead got, except I know from experience that my hair doesn't do that shape when it's that long. Still, I really do need to get it cut. Maybe tomorrow.
Well, I posted initially about the subjective judging, and it wasn't like I disagreed with the judges-- but that Project Runway had a better base of objectivity about where the judges were coming from. I mean, they didn't even have a language for why one hairstyle was better than another. Was Hershberger going to say, "in all my years evaluating hairstyles with found objects this one is really breaking the mold and this one looks like a student's work"-- no. To some extent degree of difficulty was involved, but it seemed to ultimately come down to what degree of mess the stylists created.
