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]
I think you should come up and judge for yourself!
And then give us pointers.
Lee is full of good ideas today.
Unrelatedly: is anyone watching American Ninja Warrior? I'm kind of upset about the couple of competitors that finished the course this week but won't be going through to the next stage. It doesn't seem right. Especially since people who didn't finish the first course are going through from other regions.
I have been watching (and loving it) but not this week. It's the Japanese vs. the American thing. The Japanese version, if you didn't complete the course, you didn't move on. If nobody completed, then the season ended. The American version, of course you have to have your controllable number of entrants for the next level. So yeah, I agree, unfair.
Yeah. I'm trying not to dislike the changes just for, you know, changing, but that one I legitimately don't approve of.
So I saw a slide show of the SYTYCD contestants. The one listed as a belly dancer - I'm assuming she has other training but auditioned as a belly dancer?
Yeah, she's done your basic all-around training, but she is Palestinian-American (from rural AL - that must have been interesting) and considers herself a bellydancer first. She's got GREAT performance value.
Okay. Well turns out I won't be watching SYTYCD through hulu or Fox.com.
I don't use a "participating cable provider" (Verizon or Dish) so I have to wait 30 days after the episode airs to watch it.
Which is stupid. I can watch Master Chef the DAY AFTER it airs, on a streaming device as well! but not SYTYCD.
Who wants to wait a month to watch it? I don't and I think it's a stupid decision by Fox.
I tried last season to catch up on youtube clips but the music was generally taken out before I could watch. ANd I tried the live streaming thing but the quality was so bad it was like watching a slide show.
On Liese's recommendation, so far I am finding long clips (not just dances, but the runup also) up at mjsbigblog at 8am the day after the show airs.
I really miss watch and post, though.
