Also w.r.t reality: I am not watching Survivor this season because I didn't like anyone but maybe Earl and Yau Man after about four episodes in (maybe I should start watching again?); I am watching AI but beginning to get disenchanted with the predictability of the contest at this point.

This thread is for non-fiction tv, including but not limited to documentaries and reality shows. [NAFDA]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Because books.
ANTM: Okay, Jael was kind of weirdly endearing there in the end, but I am glad she's gone.
Also, the Australian accent thing was ABSURD. Seems to me that if I went to France to interview people and tried to speak in English with a French accent, it would seem insulting, wouldn't it? Not everyone is Meryl Streep. And I don't know about other countries, but there's nothing Americans love more than foreign accents.
If I were to go to France and try to speak French, though, that would be more polite, I think, because if you speak a language well, you get the intonations and inflections that form the accent. This was just weird.
Also also? I'm really tired of Tyra's extensions. I wonder what her real hair looks like at this point.

And how every single creature pretty much is on the brink of death ALL THE TIME.
There's a film you can watch in the little museum at the La Brea Tar Pits that turns one horse getting caught in tar into a giant cascade of death, essentially implying that there are so many fossils in the tar because ANIMALS ARE DUMB.
Okay, maybe not directly related, but it's what your post made me think of, bon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Tyra has no real hair.
On the Pussycat Doll front, I'm so glad they got rid of that bitchy Melissa whichever! I know Robin loooooves Chelsea, but eventually the dancing thing has to catch up to her, no? I'm rooting for Asia, I think.

And I do think the Australian accent thing was slightly better than when they were in Japan (?) and had to eat something they all thought was disgusting. And try to speak the language. The guest judge was all, Yeah, I have no idea what any of them just said.

I'm a fan of Lakisha and Jordin. I like Melinda, but she comes over a little to strong and almost mechanical sometimes.
