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]

He's adorable. And I would do very naughty things to/with/for him if given the opportunity. But he can't dance out of his style and it's a crime that they kept him over Burim. I am angry with the judges. I knew that if it came down to America's vote, he might win, but I thought that the judges would have some damned integrity and respect for dance.

Amen. Because if America kept him on, nothing they can do about it. But keeping him? Not that Burim is any great shakes, but ugh. I feel like they're trying to work a redemption/growth thing (first he's an ass, then "oh, he tries SO HARD"), but "trying so hard" is not enough to be an actual good dancer, or half the people who auditioned would be on the show.

Oh, and good job finding that Virgil bio--it does make me roll my eyes at the whole stage v street thing, but whatev'. Good to know he can probably bring it no matter what happens.

Project Runway is back August 6!

Speaking of reality sucking up all my tv watching time...

I fired PR last season. I might come back if they don't piss me off. Is La Kors back?

I think it's still Posen.

I was so happy with the final runway last season, I'm really looking forward to this one.

I have no memory of last season, which maybe means I should stop watching.

Fringe! Julius Caesar! Maxi dresses! Denim!

(I did have to check wikipedia that I was thinking of the right season, it seems like a long time ago)

Face Off: I find the new crop of contestants very appealing, but i'm not sure I loved any of the makeups. The runner up was probably my favorite. As the judges said, though, it was a very hard challenge. I kinda love the strategy of the producers/judges/whoever makes those choices in designing this first one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Back to SYTYCD, I really wish Moises had waited a year or two for the show, as risky as that might be (will there be another year or two of the show?). He's just such a baby still.

That was exactly my thought, Jesse. On the one hand, I'm sure he'd be better and more grown in a few years. On the other hand, who knows if it'll still be around?
