Man! I wish I'd watched more closely! I was flipping between Dance and CSI and missed all the good stuff on Dance. Wah!
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]
SYTYCD:
I am loving all over Shane Sparks. How cute was he with the dancer with scoliosis? I didn't even mind his busting on the hip-hop from the "skreet" girl. She was insane. Also hated Ashley Simpson and don't know why she was put straight through for rolling around on the floor and hair flipping, and by Mary no less! Ex-football kid is cute as a button and really good for only 8 months of training, but I think Vegas is gonna eat him up.
I cannot wait for Vegas. Lots of talented folks made it through. Although, I do miss the more workshop feel of the S1 LA Hell Week. And Mia's coming back. *Sigh* I will miss my Brian Friedman fix. Maybe at least they'll get him back as a guest coreographer.
SG: I actually liked Anthony's hairstyles quite a bit. They were classic cuts that left the hair looking weightless and effortless. They complemented the wearers faces very well and they were all well cut. Daisy's were too fussy, too heavy for the face and the crimp in the bob was just plain stupid. Ben's were okay, but he did a crap cutting job on the bob and screwed the updo, which was as noticable as Daisy's unfinished pincurls. It is a competition; even if VS wants to cut them slack, they all can't win. Anthony did the best all around job and I would go to him for a haircut before I went to either of the other two.
SYTYCD: fun! I didn't watch this at all last season, so I have nothing to compare it to for now. I'm really enjoying the whatever-you're-supposed-to-call-it-but-not-breakdancing. There's a lot more goes into that than I ever realized.
I think Vegas is going to eat up the Ex Football boy as well, but I'm hoping that he'll learn from it and will help his love for dance grow. He obviously has talent as well as love for dance.
So no one watched Pirate Master last night?
Anthony did the best all around job and I would go to him for a haircut before I went to either of the other two.
For me, that's key -- Daisy grew on me as the competition went on, but Anthony's the only one I'd let cut my hair. (I liked Ben a lot in the beginning but he's just too unpredictable. I need to know that my stylist will be able to cut my hair every time, not just on one of his good days.)
I kept thinking throughout the ep that I would have made a great hair model for the last challenge. I've been telling hairdressers to make it shorter in the back for years!
Crap, I forgot about it. Are they rerunning? That could be some entertaining trainship wreck for the summer.
I don't think so but you should be able to watch the first episode online. "Wreck" is an awesomely fitting word for it.
Ooh, Alton Brown is shooting a second season of Feasting on Asphalt!
Yay!!
So, now that the kinks in this prototype are all worked out, the first production model of this thread has been created. You can find it over here:
