I just saw this very interesting interview with Mike Rowe. It's a business magazine, so it's much more serious and in-depth as to his career, past, present, and future.
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]
Mmm, Mike Rowe. Smart, sexy and funny.
Good lord. So young! So dorky!
Aww, Phil! What a cutie.
Re AI: Worst episode of Idol ever? Even the "good" people were just a step up from sucky. And nobody was even entertainingly bad. I think Charleston might've topped Seattle as worst audition spot. (And I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Seattle because it gave us Crack Baby!)
Project Runway: OMGWTF Ricky won a challenge! And, he cried! And Victorya is auf! And Christian pouted visibly when he didn't win.
My only problem is that I called both Ricky winning and Victorya losing half-way through the episode. Thanks, editing! Subtle!
Yeah, it was clear that Ricky was gonna win when he got the Tim schmooze for the first time ever. Yet and still, I call huge bullshit on behalf of my pretty, pretty Princess. Christian's outfit was fierce and I loved it. He totally should have won. And if not him, then Rami. Much as I disliked him last week, that dress was heaven. Ricky's dress was just not terrible, which admittedly was a step up for him, but it was nothing to write home about.
Not sad to see Victorya go. She hasn't really wowed me 'til now, and she was totally biting off of Jillian, who was biting off of Kara Saun's futuristic/military coat from way back in S1 (even though Kara's coat was amazing while Jillian's was . . . not). I was glad that Chris was safe again and didn't think the dress was nearly as bad as the judges seemed to.
Jilllan's avant garde coat was amazing though. This one, not so much. You know, we always see it when Tim tells a designer not to do something and they get dinged for it. I wonder how many times he says something and it gets by? I'd love to see some of the raw footage.
With both Jillian and Victorya making coats again, it makes me wonder if once you make a coat, you start thinking "coats, coats, coats, coats, coats," because really - not such a great idea and neither were those coats.
I thought Christian had more of a chance of winning because Heidi said something about people wanting those jeans.
Ricky's outfit was the same outfit he does all the time, it's just that this time he executed it properly.
