Experimental TV: Non-Fiction  

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]

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd have picked the other one for the win, but yeah.

And Daisy sure deserved it. That was godawful.

Where is she from, anyway? Can anyone place that accent?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Do you mean Danna, brenda?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Shear Genius: The first bit was like my nightmare episode! You take all these guys with gorgeous long hair and whack it all off! I'm a sucker for long hair on guys. But at least a few of those cuts were reasonable, although Tyson's was awful.

FIGJAM! That's perfect for him. Man, he cannot go ten minutes without self-aggrandization.

And what the hell, man? How can you take a fantastic era for hair like the 40s and make it look dowdy? Nothing good about that style at all.

I know they said that Tabatha's mohawk was what they expected, but with hair that length, what else would have worked for 80s punk, do you think? And let me just say, especially for fine hair, it is damn hard to make it look like that. Part of the reason you can do a mohawk is that it's so much less in volume because of the shaved bits. Making the non-hawked bits sleek and clean like that is difficult.

I liked Ben's pincurls. I thought the feathers were a bit much, but they were probably in his kit, huh?

I thought Anthony was going to go. You get an over-the-top era like the 60s when you know there are other over-the-top eras going, and why don't you blow it out, have fun with it?

I think in some ways, the more elaborate the era, the better the hair looked, but partially because of the costuming. It's easy to picture the era with the full-blown gear on.

Oh, and I was annoyed that everyone's references were period film references.

Shear Genius: I thought Fig Jam's reference was that Queen Elizabeth's hairdresser appeared to him in a vision? (Though he totally didn't say that at panel.)

I hope the Curse of the Allure Wall continues and Fig Jam goes home next week. I canna deal with his Riff Raffness for much longer.

ANTM: Next week should prove interesting. It's going to require talking in front of a camera and I'm not sure that two of the final three are capable of that. Sadly, I think the one that could pull it off best is the one I like least, Baby Mama Drama Queen.

Thrive to spite them

I was expecting Anthony to do an over the top beehive, that was 60s right?

And I'm not sure exactly what the judges expected Tabitha to do with all that long hair and 80s punk. It looks like they weren't allowed to cut it at all. Danna should have gone with a Veronica Lake look.

FigJam in a voice over talked about his vision but at the judging he referenced old movies.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, he totally could have done an ott b-52. Or, a really stylized short cut like Twiggy.

Also, didn't powdering your hair come in later than the Elizabethan era? I really thought that they liked that hair because it reminded them of the Marie Antoinette movie only simpler.

I preferred the Victorian hair.

I thought that most of them did a good job with the short cut. And I realize that they have already eliminated the deadwood.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I bet they didn't want Tabitha to add as much color.

Their criticisms of Tabitha made no sense: I think that they wanted her to pretty up the look -- but she did punk. Punk isn't about being pretty.
