Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
Finally saw the last TC, and I have just two (or maybe just one and a half) small notes to add to everything everyone else already said, with the Tre and the sad and the manly (and my Lord, but that was a great chow.com interview; he's just such a grown-up compared to almost all the rest of them) and the do-over and everything else. So, just one and a half things not already said.
One: I'm starting to actually kind of like Sara. I have no idea what the change was, but all of a sudden with the restaurant do-over she came across as competent, intelligent and un-sullen.
One and a half: She was just ridiculously likable in that moment when Dale dashed into the kitchen gasping, "Table Seven is VIP's!" and she snarled, "I told you every table is a VIP!" And when he said, "No, no, Seven is Joey and Sarah," she broke into a huge goofy grin and actually physically bouncebouncebounced and squeed. Loved that moment!
No, no, Seven is Joey and Sarah," she broke into a huge goofy grin and actually physically bouncebouncebounced and squeed. Loved that moment!
Closely followed by Hung going "who"? Cracked me up.

Agreed. I didn't get at all why she was still there until this episode.
I liked the way she dealt with it when Howie challenged her. Of course, he acted like a spoiled brat with slamming the oven door and making faces.
I occasionally catch bits of Mad TV and this past Saturday they had a parody of Project Runway. The challenge? to come up with a new, modern, outfit for a leprechaun.
I love that she showed that it was possible to manage Howie. He challenged her, then pouted and sulked, but he did what she asked. Love it.
So is it permissible for me to totally be a fair weather fan, and go back to liking her? I guess now top three for me would be CJ, Casey, and Sara.
The SO says that Tre is good enough that losing might be the best thing that ever happened to him. He thinks he'll totally be able to make it on his own.
I think so too. He is mature, talented, and sexy. Plus, people know who he is and like him.
I just watched last night's BB, and what the fucking fuck? I hate each and every one of them (especially Eric), and also CBS. Naked challenge? Kissing tasks? I mean, seriously. I'm afraid starting pretty soon, everyone's going to keep Dick around in hopes of going to the final two with him, and that's just gross.
