Hey, did anyone watch Big Brother last night? Did anything exciting happen?
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]
ND, I try watching the show, but the matchmaker drives me batshit.
Perkins, it was kind of funny in an idiotic way. The Jen (who is a crazy piece of work) and the boyfriend decided the way to keep [girl I can't remember - Ryan's partner] from telling everyone they are a couple was to ... tell everyone that they're a couple. It worked about as well as can be expected and they're both on the block this week.
I just crack up when she calls herself a Svengali and a Mother Theresa. Drink whenever she aggrandizes in personal interview! Or at any time, really.
I did *not* like her horrible casting call critiques on the women though. But when she's snarking on the dudes, I'm laughing.
I watched a little bit of Matchmaker, but think it's probably not my show. Nearly everyone irritated me.
On Runway, so unsurprised by Rami. I think it's interesting that they chose to let him hang on the runway when announcing the twist. And I hope that Chris blows him away. I adore Chris, and thought that dress was gorgeous. If he'd even just toned the shoulder down a bit, I think it would have been great. I agreed with Jillian's marshmallow comment, but called that it would win.
On Supermodel, Perry! Dude. He didn't even let her express whatever it was she wanted to ask about. She thought he'd cheated on her, right? He wouldn't even let her ask the question, but wanted huge affirmations from her.
I do think the fishbowl thing is such an interesting element. I would go nuts watching from the sidelines, realtime, for a show like this. I missed one of the intervening episodes, but since Bravo repeats eighteen billion times I'll catch up with it later. It's like a social experiment, really.
What else? Still loving Mythbusters!

Oops. Totally predictable, though.

Hilarious. A coworker said she got similar personal maintenance advice from a matchmaker here -- always get your hair and makeup done for dates! Dude, seriously.
All I can think about on BB is the clip I saw from the feeds of Jen and Ryan Doing It in the bathroom with Parker (? -- Jen's partner) sitting outside waiting to pee.

ha! TACK-EEE!
I enjoy BB through you guys and the TWoP recaps. I don't think I could watch it though.
They're showing that right now. And IFew!
(Best parts:
Jen, overheard from outside the door: We gotta get off this toilet. t flushing sound
Parker: It was a little disturbing...cause then I knew she's gonna get her funky ass in the bed with me.)
PS Also! They have a cuddle lounge!
What's funny is they didn't show Parker going, "Yeah, you know they're going to zoom in on the 'occupied' sign, and then show the two of you coming out of there!"
