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]

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I think it was Dom, too. If so, he has learned how to turn down the mugging 5000% which made him so much easier to enjoy. I liked the piece a lot, although there was so much hip hop in that finale. So much. I'd have preferred something else other than contempo-hop just to get a little break.

Know what else I really liked? The number of times they cut to the judges' table to find Miss Debbie Allen either in mid-boogie or giving some amazing "Ooooh, child, that's the way I like it" face, or saying something that made the other judges crack up. In short, Miss Debbie Allen is a delight and she needs to come back and judge more often. Jenna Dewan Tatum, you are no substitute. Have y'all noticed that the ratings have fallen off since they stopped having Miss Debbie Allen as a more regular guest judge on the panel? That's probably not coincidence. Ha! More Miss Debbie Allen for all!

Because books.

I like some of the guest judges for the entertainment factor, but I really miss Mia and Adam. I saw Debbie Allen listed as a producer -- maybe she's too busy to participate in the show regularly? I miss her, too.

Will Sonya not be able to choreograph next year? Since she took the job with the Martha Graham Company?

Face Off Judgematch is as fun as I'd hoped. Gorgeous makeups.

Project Runway: What the heck are the judges thinking?

I know Kini (sp?) didn't completely pull off the last challenge, in terms of tailoring, but otherwise, he's getting robbed.

I agree, and I hated the other two that were in the top.

I did love Sean's. And Korina's came out better than I expected it to, although I would have done a pewter dress underneath instead of black.

I meant to say, Amanda's was just awful. I love the concept, but the execution sucked! I have no idea what they were thinking there. And what was the cat suit made out of? Because it looked silk, but that closely fit, it would have to have some stretch in it, right?

Given as much basic black as I wear, and it's a lot, I'm so tired of it on the runway.

I was so disappointed last week that no one pointed out that Kini sewed Sean's top. This week, Kini's design was, I think, more innovative than he's been, but the execution didn't quite work out. I don't think he deserved to be in the bottom for that, but I don't know who of the "safe" designers should have been. They don't always need a top three and a bottom three, if you ask me.

This week - well, I don't think I ever like this kind of challenge. I just can't wrap my head around it. Sean's dress was gorgeous, and Korina's coat is great. I don't really like the black necklace against the black fabric, maybe it looked better in person. She did pick the right necklace for her esthetic, that's for sure. Don't get why they liked Amanda's.

In the abstract, I approve of sending home the "too safe" look rather than the "too ambitious but fell short" design.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I haven't understood any of the times Amanda has been in the top, let alone her wins.

Kini is definitely getting robbed.

I was surprised at how well Korina's turned out.

I was floored when they took the coat off and saw the back. I was expecting nothing much from how she was talking about it while she was sewing, but that was really pretty.

I think I liked one, maybe two of Amanda's designs, although it's not like I remember them now.

Next week looks potentially disastrous.
