I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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]

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

And, to be fair, I've known more than a couple of very effeminate, swishy straight men.

Did they also repeatedly hit on every other male in the room? 'Cause to me that's what makes me raise my eyebrows about Boogie. Methinks he doth protest too much.

Straight or gay, thank GOD he didn't make it to the finals. His attitude was really starting to chafe, and the man CANNOT DO HAIR. To be a good stylist, you have to know how to listen. Nobody should ever be that much happier about their styles than the client after every. single. cut.

Nope. One of them was even a bit of a ladykiller, which amused me to no end.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

My thoughts exactly. It's 2007, Boogie. Come on out, man. It's okay. Most of us don't have a problem with that these days, and the only way we're going to help the ones that do get over it is if you come on out.

Daisy had mentioned her girlfriend previously in passing. But it was the most casual lesbian girlfriend mention on a reality show ever.

She seems like the kind of person who'd call female friends girlfriends, so I didn't notice.

Most of us don't have a problem with that these days, and the only way we're going to help the ones that do get over it is if you come on out.

and you're a hairdresser, for God's sake. People expect you to be gay.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Boogie's whole "Just a minute. Stepping in." thing DRIVE ME BATSHIT

I think Ben's gonna pull it out of his ass. Kinda like the season 2 winner of Project Runway. What was her name? Chloe?

There is a brief review of Harold Dieterle's restaurant Perilla in the NYTimes.

Here it is on Menupages. (I'd link to the website directly, but it's only the logo so far.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, this woman on What Not To Wear might be the biggest personality transformation ever. She's GORGEOUS. And once again, I'm inspired to want to wear makeup. Although I don't have big white teeth like this woman does. Holy crap.

Also, I love the family rerun that was earlier. Cute!

"We have trust issues." Mylar

in the middle of describing how he'd like to get Rene drunk and take him home.

Who wouldn't want to get Rene drunk and take advantage of him? The man is fine!

I don't care if Boogie's as gay as a Christmas tree. As Jesse points out, the man cannot do hair and that's all there is to it. I loved, loved the reunion. I loved that Tabitha and Tyson acted like two grown ups (who knew?). If Ben wins, it will be a way worse tragedy than Chloe winning PR. Say what you will about Ms. Dao's creativity (or lack thereof) and egregious overuse of that particular shade of blue (You know the one), the woman had impeccable construction. She's not my cup of tea, but she wasn't a BAD designer. The ninja can't do hair. I'm pulling for my girl Daisy all the way.

ION, I want to have moves like that latin dance couple on SYTYCD last night, because good lord! They set it off. Other than those two, however, I was underwhelmed. The dance teacher and her student were nothing special (thought the teacher was better than the pupil. thought they both needed more clothes on). S2 Stanislav's sister was good, but I'd give her up to give Stas another shot. The girl who fell through the floor and tattoo girl both seemed like charity cases. I hope we start seeing more of the good dancers soon.

Heh - just watched that one. I knew she'd clean up nice because (a) hot bod; (b) pretty features behind glasses and horrible hair and weird hats and (c) even though she was defiant she was also open to the experience from the beginning.

Lordy, did she need that haircut.

They almost always do.
