'Conviction (1)'
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]
OK, anyone (else) watch ANTM last night?
I did! Man, I'm so tired of being able to tell exactly who the bottom two will be and who will be cut.
I like Lauren (she reminds me SO much of a friend of mine who is a derby girl here) but MY GOD you can't even try not to be the awkwardest awkward in all of awkwardelphia???
So I was not sad to see her go. But Dominique has to go next week. for real. I mean TOOTHLESS FUCK FUCK TOOTHLESS! come on!
Especially since both of them did this in the movie challenge too (Top Secret!/Talk to Her). I get that good food has priority, but, if you're not going to hold them to the basic parameters of the challenge, don't bother giving them one.
And I don't think it's a coincidence that the challenge winners or the top circle at least have consistently brought it on both the food and the creative/challenge-related side in these things. Richard didn't kvetch about not being a pastry chef and then make a fucking molten chocolate cake. The penguin team at the zoo didn't decide that, sure, gorillas love olives and lamb.
Ignoring the challenge may not kill you (even if it should), but it ain't gonna get you out of the middle either.

man, his dessert sounded SO good! As did Dale's. And I loved the way they worked together.
oh, lisah, I'm so over Dominique and the eyebrows (and referring to herself in the third person? the Queen and the Pope can do it ... maybe ... but for her? bleah!). And she really, really mangled the Italian!
I like Whitney and I'd LOVE to see her win ... but she's plus-size (she wears a TEN! gasp!).
Right now Anya and Katarzhena (or whatever) seem to be the front-runners, with maybe Fatima. But they often do this thing with someone moving up late in the game.

Except the Top Secret! beef made the top two when I thought the Christmas Story one should have been there.
Ted Blogs TOP Chef - spoiler: this blog includes a haiku.
I was a little intimidated at first, cause with that bald head and those steely blue eyes he looks kinda like a hit man. The kind of hit man who will cook you duck a l'orange with plum sauce and then snap your neck.
Bwahahahaha!!
Richard has consistently impressed me. And he's rather quiet, too, which will serve him well, I think.
Dale's got good chops, and Stephanie has been mostly good (with a few fumbles).
Crazy Andy seems to have talent, but his crazy bugs the crap out of S. He's just too twitchy.

I'm with S.
