I've never heard of it! What is it? Where would I watch?
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]
The channel is called POP. I never heard of the channel before, but saw an ad for the show on another channel & searched for it. It follows several College Acapella groups competing for the ICCA championship (i.e., the real-life groups that Pitch Perfect was based on). I'm mostly in it for the songs, but there's a certain amount of drama included (I mean, they're college students, so of course there's drama).
Haven't watched the last couple episodes of SYTYCD, but was in town so got to watch last nights auditions with Bon Bon and Bob Bob! We mostly were not impressed and got distracted pulling up clips of numbers we liked better from earlier seasons.
Hey, Big Brother starts tomorrow.
Ooh hey.
Oh god.
I have been watching SYTYCD and very much not caring at all. I just can't get amped about this Street vs. Stage nonsense, even though I have enjoyed some of the kids thus far. I just...that's not what I watch this show for. I see lots of hip hop/b-boy kids who got knocked out of Vegas when they couldn't pick up choreo in other styles are back now for this season and I guess that's cute, but I hate that they are coming back because they know they won't be asked to really challenge themselves, stretch and grow as dancers in other styles. Because it can be done. Because we've seen it done before. And you always come out the other side a better dancer. Just, eh. This new show is not my show.
Well, hell, I was feeling kinda bad that I haven't been in the mood to watch SYTYCD this season but if it doesn't have the part I love best (dancers rising to new styles and techniques) maybe I won't bother.
I decided to not even watch this season. And I guess now I'm even more happy with that decision.
I will watch until I can't anymore. I will report on how good or bad it is.
