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]

This season of Face Off was the first one I've watched, and I will definitely be watching again. I loved this season's winner.

Thrive to spite them

I wish sy fy wasn't holding back the episodes so long before putting them online. The most recent one they have to watch is episode 7.

Ha, brenda, that is a career move I had not considered!

That's weird and surprising, askye. The way they keep pushing their sync app I would think they'd have the episodes online reasonably soon.

I think they had them up the day after last season. Bravo waited (I think) until Top Chef was over to put any episodes online and SYTYCD waited a month. But MasterChef was up the next day.

Because books.

Is anyone else watching Project Runway All-Stars? I was sure Ivy's dress would be in the bottom three, and instead they loved it! It was so awful! Or so I thought, anyway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Face Off totally makes me want to go make prosthetics on my own. They don't give a "don't try this at home" disclaimer like Mythbusters, so I'm sure it's totally okay.

I haven't watched the finale yet. I failed to move the tv out of the guest room before the guest got here for the week, woes.

But yeah, this season's level of competition was really good and fun to watch.

me too! but I hate the granny panties under sheer. I am clearly alone in this, as it continues to proliferate.

I knew that it wasn't going to win when Isaac called out the lack of bedazzle on the back.

I really liked Kayne's outfit, I was surprised that it was bottom 3. But possibly because you couldn't actually see the shoes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm kind of annoyed that Face Off let America pick the winner, although not upset about who it is.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, it's a weird competition to have America pick the winner, because we can't walk up on the platform and look at the makeup. It'd be like America choosing the winner of a food contest. Until I get what I was promised and they can shove the food through my television, it would make no sense.

Did they even do the close-up examination of the final make-ups? I don't remember it. That choreographed stunt fight was pretty cool, though.

I would have been okay with any of the final three winning, so I'm not bothered by America choosing who it was, but in principal I agree that it's a little weird. OTOH, I was thinking while I was watching that it's nice for Face Off that effects makeup is generally meant to be filmed so what we see on TV is kind of a good representation of how well it's working - unlike how sometimes on PR we'll be told that a dress is gorgeous in person but it doesn't come across well onscreen. So maybe I am kind of okay with America picking the winner? I love the technical critiques, though.

I had time today to catch up on PR:All Stars, and I agree with y'all on Ivy's dress. I don't think I ever like that style. I had forgotten about Suede talking about himself in the third person. I'm glad my boy Anthony won the first challenge - BR represent!
