And on a Top Chef note, he may be an ass, but I love Hung. Can't help it.

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]
Cedric and Dominic are the only people I have any trouble with and Dom was good tonight.
Top Chef: Finally, actual not-good food!
Good heavens. They called back a million people. Let the blood flow!!
SYTYCD: I so love Dom. He's just attacked everything he's been given and he hasn't been in his comfort zone even a little. Disco, contemporary, and now Rumba. And he's really growing as a dancer. I'm amazed by him.
I like that they aren't tied into top three/bottom three. Top two and bottom five! Dag.
yeah, bottom five is harsh.
Ugh. I hate people who go out and are then all "I'm just too good hearted for this show. It's gonna get ugly and people are actually going to try to gasp win . . . and I'm just not like that." What-evah. You weren't singing that tune last week, were you?
Top Chef: First thought is, does anyone else think it odd (or perhaps, not so odd) that the two non-Americans are the ones that had the most trouble relating to American comfort food? Not saying they should get a pass for it, but still. It's noteworthy. Sorry to see Micah go, but I have to agree, she' been all over the place, and I think she's had a serious problem focusing. (As opposed to Howie's time-management problems, which seem to be under control.)
On the other hand, as hot as Hung seems to be overall, he's yet to actually win anything besides a Quickfire. And Tres' stock is sinking fast. Certainly, they can both pull it out, but they started out in front, and haven't seemed to be able to get the lead back. Whereas Brian? Rocks. Even in the bottom five, he rocks. I think if he can keep up pushing at the edge of things, he's in with a shot.
I thought Micah was totally off about the meatloaf. I mean, it's essentially shepherd's pie w/o the pie, surely in SA they eat shepherd's pie or something equivalent? (Plus, rumor has it that Micah is actually from Massachusetts.)
Plus, rumor has it that Micah is actually from Massachusetts.
Yeah, I've heard that. But then, it was a "someone online said they knew her in high school" situation, and when you weigh that against the fact that Bravo would have requested proof of citizenship or residency at some point, and ... well ... can't say it holds up well. Not impossible. Just doubtful.
