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]
But the thing is, Whitney really sucks! I mean, she's pretty, but her commercial wasn't good, and most all of her pictures they've been like "It's OK because you're pretty, but it's not GREAT"
So it would be a shame if she won just because they want a plus size girl to win.
Yeah, she's not had a real shining moment at all.
I wish we could all watch together tonight!
I'm just hoping I remember not to click on this thread after it starts on the East Coast and hasn't yet begun here on the West!
So Tyra is going to have two new reality shows next season. The untitled one with Ashton Kutcher on ABC and Stylista on the CW.
If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000.
I doubt she's appearing on either but she really does want to be the next Oprah mogul, doesn't she?
I totally agree with the Fug Girls handicap: [link] Alleged spoilers in the comments. And I forgot how nice both Anya and Whitney look with the dark hair!
If Anya wins, does she get her eyebrows back?
It's interesting to think that she didn't even know - hadn't even seen her jury performance or reaction to it from China - if she had won or not the whole time she was in Micronesia.
Oh! This is great info to know, it colors how I see Amanda's last TC performance so very much. Yeah, I thought she had a good chance at winning until she got all doed-eyed and inarticulate at TC. Too bad, but I liked Parvati, too (and also had her name in the office pool, so I won $$!)
Did anyone else watch the David Breashears' documentary Storm over Everest on Frontline last night? I'm so glad he made it. Jon Krakauer's book Into Thin Air was so well-written, it made you think that his account was What Really Happened Up There (the 1996 Everest summit season that led to many deaths). I was obsessed with the story and read nearly all if not all the books written by others who were there that year, and it was clear that Krakauer was narrowly focused on his experience and on trashing a couple of people in particular, namely Sandy Hill and Anatoli Boukreev. Breashears didn't even mention Krakauer, which I found very interesting.
wrong thread.
Sophia, you perhaps meant to post that in Movies, yes?
