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]
"It is a competition show about aspiring assistants looking to become assistant editors at a fashion magazine," Mok said. "At the same time they're trying to prove themselves as aspiring fashionistas, that they have a sense of style and savvyness, all the things to make it in the fashion world."
There was already a show like this. Except less cheesy. The Fashionista Diaries on Soapnet. Oh, Tyra. Stealing from Soapnet? Tsk tsk tsk.
America's Ballroom Challenge - Marilu Henner is out in favor of Jasmine Guy. I like Jasmine Guy a lot better for some reason. She seems to comment with more substance.
Tony's replacement (Ron Montez) is absolutely awesome. His analysis is really great.
Jasmine Guy was a professional dancer before she became Whitley, as I recall.
I found her death in "Dead Like Me" to be hysterical.
Ooh, Special 50th episode of Dinner for Five will stream on Netflix the Monday following it's Friday debut on IFC.
Oh man, Patrick Stewart is narrating an Animal Planet make-believe pseudoscience program about "what if dragons really lived?" First a passive-aggressive Chester Cheetah, now this. Why have you forsaken us, Patrick?!?
On MMaSupermodel, I can't believe that Jay is still around. He doesn't photograph well at all! It's gotta be either him or Katy gone next week, but I'm hoping that he goes.
Perry and Ronnie are the two top guys, no question. Frankie has the face and confidence, but his cockiness and pure-jerkfacedness is starting to become obvious even in his professional life. Perry totally won me over when he donned the French mustache and accent--what a natural actor, as well as fabu model! And Ronnie is just too darn cute and sweet for words.
I'm surprised by how much Jackie is getting shoved out of her top female model spot by Shannon and even Holly. Stephanie picked it up nicely this week--if she keeps it going like this, we'll have four top competitors amongst the women.

Seriously.
I think the challenges on this show have been really interesting, probably because I watch too much Top Model, and they would never do half of this stuff. The nude posing was not about "can you take off your clothes?" it was about being posed for ten minutes. I think that's cool.
How long ago was the ProjRun avant garde challenge? I mean, did Holly see it, with the "high couture" runway pose?
Also, Ronnie is such a sweetie, I was startled when he busted out his model face and was smoking hot. I forgot!

It was a few weeks ago, so if she watches PR, she would have seen it. Actually, she pulled that pose off much better than the PR model did--it was much more natural, in that model-esque way.
Perry was the only one of the guys to give good pose on the runway this week--that initial pose, with the sleeves spread out, was perfect for that outfit. I thought Ben did pretty good on the runway this week, but he should have done more Robin-Hood/Errol-Flynn-like poses, since that's what his outfit reminded me of.
MMaS is really really growing on me. I think a lot of shows I really enjoy the first season the best. The relationships among the models remind me a bit of Project Runway first season. As for the competition, Perry and Shannon seem the top two for me. I loved Perry with the accent and the mustache.
Did anyone see the commercial for the top Bravo moments? I had to rewind Santino's Tim Gunn robot several times. LOVE!
