'Out Of Gas'
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've seen the ads on SyFy but I haven't paid enough attention to understand how it works. Not really intrigued by it.
I really like this week's Face Off challenge. We got some subpar makeups out of it, but the good ones were super creepy and the idea of "make the creature that casts this shadow" is great. I love that Corinne's decision to forget the mold and do a great paint job worked out so well for her.
I think I might recommend the show if you can catch it. It is strangely compelling (Opposite Worlds). It is like Big Brother with a few twists. I'm kind of digging it.
Caught the first few episodes. The first challenge combined the over-elaborateness of BB with the disregard for safety of Survivor and resulted in two people being pulled for injuries (one came back). Of note, those injuries were not related to the electric cattle prods the teams were outfitted with for the challenge.
But it's not bad. No one completely odious, which is always a plus.
One question - is Frank related to BB Jesse, the body-building tool? They look a lot alike. Frank after the first couple of episodes seems to be considerable less toolish.
brenda,
not sure where you are, but have you gotten to the alliance part yet?
How much did I love the orc foundation Challenge? Not quite as much as that mass zombie challenge from a couple seasons ago which still wins on sheer volume, but a lot.
Aw, I will miss Matt and his glorious hair. I think I might have sent home someone from the chupacabra team, myself. That winning makeup was extra awesome for being put together from elements that could have gone horribly wrong.
The chupacabra team was bad. Though I get why they picked Matt. Also, the winning makeup was lucky they had a model who could move and make that come alive.
Amazing Race All Stars starts tonight, I think! I'll need some help on backstory for some of the teams, since I've only been watching for two years!
Ooh, thanks for the head's up!
CBS seems to have finally realized that adjusting the titles each season was bringing down their Tivo numbers - my season pass picked tonight's ep right up.
Oh, good--I will still double-check, but it had been on my mind to do so and I'd forgotten until I saw your post!
