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]

I can't believe Ben is still there. Why?

It's the old, "You don't have to run faster than the bear, you just have to run faster than your friend," syndrome. Ben's not very good, and he's certainly doesn't deserve to still be here at this point, with Tabitha and Tyson gone.

He just keeps managing to be NOT the loser -- every time, there's been someone more deserving of going home.

And I hate to say it, because I adored bitchy Tabitha, and figured she'd be a finalist, but with the styles they presented to the judges, especially compared to the other two teams, they deserved to go home.

exactly. I thought that the producers might step in and save them, but they didn't. which kind of makes me respect the show a little more.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Yep. I really gained a lot of respect for the show when they didn't bail out T'nT. I certainly thought they would boot Dr. Boogie and the Ninja. That's been one of the great things about Shear Genius and PR. Even though you may be very talented, if you have a bad week, you can easily be gone. (Alison, we hardly knew ye!)

I'm sorry, what was that rant all about? If the judges had been inclined to give T&T a pass, that pretty much closed the door on it. I can see if she was convinced she was gone and just wanted to get her licks in, but at that stage in the game I'm not totally convinced it was a done deal, so it seemed really odd.

Yeah. As much as I loved Tabitha, I was shaking my head and yelling at the screen during that rant. Any doubt or indecision about T&T's fate was removed by her mouth.

I think they still would have gone home. Boogie and Ben's styles weren't great either, but they were more consistent and complete than Tyson and Tab's.

Dr. Boogie and the Ninja

Is that one of the new shows on Fox this fall? Or a summer time replacement?

That was the proposed spinoff for "B.J. and the Bear".

Because books.

Ooh, Making the Cut is premiering on TLC right now (EST). It's apparently behind the scenes at the Vidal Sasson Academy.

They all look so young...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Shear Genius: I just watched it. I was shocked, shocked, I tell you. But they were totally right. They put miserable hair on their clients who were miserable because they were sniping at each other the whole time. I was so sure they were going to get bailed out that I am in love with this show now that they didn't. But that leaves Boogie & Ben who totally don't deserve to still be in.

I love how each team had interpersonal conflict, but Daisy & Anthony dealt with theirs and worked as a team. And won. I'm pulling for Anthony now, but I've liked Daisy's cuts, too. And that wedding hair was amazing. I wondered if the bride would try to book her for the actual wedding.

So I checked wikipedia, and sure enough, every single person cut, except Jim, was first on the Wall and cut almost immediately after. And the first guy. But still, craziness. Anthony's the only one who's been against the wall and survived. And now he's on there twice.

Okay. I 'm catching up and watching the Survivor finale online.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

Best. Survivor. Jury. Evar.

At least in a very long time. I was laughing my ass off the whole time. Clearly, the jury members had been conversing in their time together.

Now I have to go back and reread everybody's comments.
