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]
I'm not sure if I've become more aware of it or if the SYTYCD people are becoming more blatant, but the cultural appropriation/stereotyping is getting to me. I may have to give up the show - the "geisha" and "ninja" number, the "African Jazz", the Bollywood (although that grates less, I think because it's playing off a commercial interpretation of a cultural dance), but they're going past annoying into offensive. And this is from a middle-class white person ....
PR: I like this challenge, I think, but still no Mood! What's going on?
Have y'all watched Ink Master? They do the judging with the contestants in the room! It's bananas.
PR: Is that a record, three episodes in and no Mood? Also, who went home? I fell asleep during judging and can't be assed to finish watching.
They did call that bin of fabric mini-Mood, so it's not like they've severed the relationship.
True. But I want to see the store!
Pistachio went home, Amy.
Who is Pistachio?! I don't even know their names yet, clearly.
Yeah, I am not doing well with names either (she mentioned that was her nickname and I can remember that better than her real name). The woman on the Carribean team.
Oh, the one whose name sounds like "meow"? She was ... not good.
