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]

She didn't tell them off, she just said "i'm not doing this anymore" and got on a plane and went home.

Thrive to spite them
I think they've mellowed some of the years. I know there was one episode where the woman only had 1 pair of pants being held together by safety pins and she was trying on skirts and in tears and Clinton seemed distressed for her (they were watching the first shopping day) and said the problem was with the skirt, not her, you take off the skirt and find something else that works. At the second shopping day they gave her a hug and told her some of that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I always like it when, after a really bad Shopping Day 1, they just show up first thing, instead of jumping out after a while. Stacey & Clinton get much more sympathetic with people who seem genuinely traumatised by the whole thing.
Vortex, wasn't your friend going to be on one of the first US episodes? I can see it taking a while for them to get their act together, attitude-wise.

They had a different guy in the early seasons didn't they?

Yeah, I think Clinton was brought in for just that reason, to tone it down a bit.

They really are a lot nicer than Trini and Susannah (the Brit originals), but I do like the way that T & S manhandle the female makeovers' breasts when they're just flopping around due to bad bras. They're so out there with it!

Yes, the first guy was an asshat -- Clinton is so much better.

Punishingly Intricate
I hate that the American ones call breasts "girls" but so very much love it when they get a lady in a good bra! Makes such a huge difference. There's a lady in my office now who needs their help that way.

Oh, yeah, I hated that guy! Really, for the most part, Stacey & Clinton are pretty nice.
My favorite thing is when the women with too long hair cry about getting their hair cut. (It almost always ends up looking a million times better.) I also love when the girls on ANTM freak out about their makeovers. I'm just mean like that.
