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]
Also loved the Team Stage group number. Lots of dancers making beautiful shapes with unexpected lifts and such will always get me.
Oh, judges. You have chosen poorly.
I was 100% satisfied with this top 4 from this years crop of dancers, although it did hurt to Lose Jim. But he really wasn't as versatile as the two girls who made it from Team Stage. I am rooting for JaJa because she just has that magic quality and then Gaby because she is effortlessly gorgeous in everything and then Virgil because I smile ever time I see him and then Hailee because she's great but I can always see her working at it. I wouldn't be sad if any of them came out on top, though, probably because I'm not really deeply invested in any of them. This format was not the train wreck I'd feared, but the whole Stage vs. Street thing just kept me at arms length from the dancers this year. I don't know. It just didn't work for me.
I don't understand why they did the stage/street thing ... wasn't just having dancers from a range of genres enough? or did they want to have kind a gang war dance-off situation? or just find a reason to bring back Twitch?
SYTYCD Top 16
I liked the opening number a lot (love the costumes. Did not realize until I read meara's comment that they were 90s inspired, I'm not sure what that says about my fashion sense)
How adorable is Jaja? "...we will have little baby crumpers in the future not right now..."
I was pretty impressed with JJ's tango. I didn't love the choreography, but she did very well with it considering she's not even close to ballroom.
And now I want Ariana to show up on Face Off!
Did not care for the Cheesman depression dance, though that was probably mostly the choice of music and the lighting, neither worked for me.
