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'm trying to think what the waiter paired with the winning chef could possibly win, though? (Other than cash.)

I would imagine it's just cash. The way that the carpenter on Top Design got a couple of grand when his designer won.

Changes are that NONE of the judges do a walk-through - all the judging is blind. Also, Ted Allen has been added to the cast. . . sadly, as a judge not a mentor.

This is the only show that still doesn't have a mentor, right? That's always bothered me about the show. I really think they need someone walking through the kitchen doing the Tim Gunn thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At the time, I thought that was because they must have decided NOT to do a "fan favorite" award, but in retrospect I can't remember if they ever do that the first season of a new show. I liked it, though. The carpenters worked their asses off.

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

On that last challenge, maybe, but we didn't see enough of them to really know who was okay and who wasn't.

I think I'll miss the kitchen walk-through, but I love the blind judging. That could get very interesting.

So wait, on American Idol, both the finalists AND the people who wrote the song are all from Seattle? Crazy.

OK, cereal: God forbid Blake wins and that has to be his first single.

And Chris Daughtry doesn't seem to have rocker guy eye makeup on, it looks like Carmindy's Five-Minute Face! t /crossover

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Jordin's not from Seattle, but that's where she tried out.

could Randy be more obvious about the fact that he wants a black woman to win? gah! he irritates me.

I think that the audience will get a walk-through and that the audience will know who made what - just that the judges won't know.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I just watched my tape of AI and I think Jordin kicked ass in the singing department. but the thing I like best about her is the way she makes Ryan Seacrest look like a hobbit next to her.

Yeah, but one of the best parts about the walk-through is the comments and the eye-rolly looks Chef Tom Colicchio would give.
