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]

Because books.

The only thing that struck me was that it's not the "first time in Project Runway history" they've done it, right? I know they did it at least once before. Maybe it was All-Stars or something?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, I feel like I remember that happening before, too, but I can't pin down when. Could've been on All Stars, and Heidi isn't on that, right? Maybe there were different restrictions on what they could do or materials hey could use or something, too. Who knows.

I like Dom's dress, but that weird little extra piece on the right side has got to go. It adds some interest in the back, I guess, but I find it very distracting and off-putting from the front.

I agree! From the front it looked like something had come unhemmed.

I LOVE Bradon's dress. Like, would-buy-it-in-three-colors love.

I like the shape of it, but I'm not sure about all those fiddly bits of chopped up plaid on the front.

Hey, they didn't ban black, but mentioning colour and prints in the challenge sure helped, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know this is from last week, but: Julie Chen's plastic surgery. [link] Don't you think the nose job has more impact on what she looks like than the eyelids? Given how much makeup can change the appearance of one's eyes? I dunno, man -- I just think it's weird to only focus on the one procedure.

Also, if eithee Gina Marie or Spencer is smart, they will take Andy to Final 2 and win Big Brother, right? If Andy wins HOH, I still think the other person wins.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Benjamin Bratt owes his plastic surgeon lots of $$. Very nice job on his nose.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Don't you think the nose job has more impact on what she looks like than the eyelids?

The nose job doesn't make her look less Chinese. (I'm glad the article/interview doesn't sugar coat what drove that decision.)

I think it does add to it, but yes, I agree about the lack of sugarcoating.

And I just remembered the no-makeup on The Talk! Her contouring and whatever is SIGNIFICANT. [link]

Anyway, I do think it is shitty that I think she looks prettier post-surgery, because she does look much more like a generic white person.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I haven't seen the last 4 BB, but i have read some live feed discussion boards over the last week, and based on those, I think Andy stands a good chance to win if he is one of the top 2. Even if he was a weasel, he seemed to be playing the game harder than the other two.

I also think JC is prettier post surgery, and feel bad about it, but I also think her style/styling is better now, which adds to it.
