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]

Okay, I'm reading through the Top Chef blogs, which I haven't done in a while, and I've got a couple of questions, if anybody here can offer up any kind of answer:

What the hell is the Team Top Chef blog? Who's that supposed to be written by?

And who the hell are Bethenny and Andrea (each with their own blog). I do not recognize them as previous contestants.

And why the hell are those bizarre and alien blogs listed before past cheftestants on the blog, and even Gail?

Because books.

Bethenny is from Real Housewives of New York City, I think. She may be a caterer or something.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I haven't read that blog so it may not be the same person, by there was a contestant named Andrea in S1. She was a health-food nut and (I think) a personal chef.

I would have thought so too, Jess, but it's not that Andrea. The picture is of some dark haired woman.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure the blogs are listed in recently-updated order, so that's why that is.

Okay, that makes a certain amount of sense.

Art Crawl!!!

Is the Andrea blog from that food blogger who was a guest judge last year?

I turned on the (rerun?) of the Best Dance Crew audition show, and the midwest bracket was ROUGH, conceptually/theoretically/stereotypically. There were three teams: one with a deaf guy, one mostly-black group dressed like bums (on purpose), and one mostly-white group with popped collars and jackets on. Who goes home?? The dressed-like-bums team, as it turns out.

Jesse,

man, I felt bad for the team who was booed when it was announced they were going home. I'm like damn - but I kind of agreed with the booers. That was not the best team.
