After what seems like MONTHS of the same six characters having the same conversations , as if the writers were on an extended vacation and the actors were told..." Heres the convo you'll be having ...switch it up a bit if you want..see you in February!" Finally FINALLY it all comes to s frothing crashing beautiful crescendo "Now. You can go." ... But wait, no. Lets drag it out too long like every SNL skit until its uncomfortable instead of impactful, and end it with THAT!! (As an aside, i guess everyone on the show and behind the scenes has decided to rewrite DeaQuinn history) I'm definitely not on board for that fuckery, and if tomorrow's show doesnt start off with a viscious right hook into the bag of trash masquerading as Ridge Forrester's face... Then I will go, instead of Ridge. Liam's like a six year old. Its not that he cant keep a secret, its that he cant even WAIT to let everyone know he HAS A SECRET, but he cant telllll youuuuu. Katie, you can go. I know i shouldnt have let my partner on Soap Opera crimes get me back into this roiling mess. But i still wont even dip a toe into Y&R

So how many weeks of Rumple giggling with like minded co conspirators are we going to have to endure? I kind of thought Liam was going to offer a rational argument for a second "Wait a minute. What did you do? Why didnt you immediately leave or go into the house? Like it or not, you're at QUINN'S home, peeping on her in her own back yard." But, nope no logic is allowed to breathe past the sufficating nonsense being slathered on this story like shit flavored icing. Imagine if he had tried that bullshit locker room tittering with Eric " I looked right at her boobs and she didnt even try to cover herself and cry and run away? What kind of woman isnt properly terrorized by unwanted attention??" Eric would have handed him a steaming bowl of what he served to Liam the day before. Oh look, Liam is into storming an executive meeting waving his fists around like an angry toddler! that's new, isn't it?. (is Nicole an executive now?) When did she forgive Wyatt for using her to get at Maya's big secret ... Which ultimately did NOTHING except bring the senior Avants to town for five seconds. But, I digress... Oh Brooke, always keeping her options open. No, I won't marry you but I don't object to an invasion of personal space a time or seven! We get it, Steffy is sexy and strong and brave and would unite warring factions in the Middle East if only they could stream her daily activities on instagram. Enough already. I hope everyone is enjoying a great Holiday Season!

With my work schedule i only get to watch live maybe once or twice a monty, if i wanted to. Imagine my dry heaving surprise to tune in for a quick peek at the goings on, only to find Brooke and that dishevelled hobo masquerading as Ridge re united and rolling around in foliage. Once it was obvious that this wasnt a night terror of $Bill's, i just started saying "Nope. Nope.... NOPE. NO OH OH OH OH OPE" louder and louder. I try to keep up with my stories via CountryGirl's spot on recaps, but this was rage and vomit inducing all at once. Bullshit. Bullshit on all of that. I hope bill goes on a gorgeous sailing vacation away from these inbred yokels and comes back with... I dont know... Felecia or poor Donna on his arm, tanned and "relaxed". Steffy, go ahead and take the damn CEO position. No one knows what the job entails beyond walking around with folders and yelling at Pam. CEOs and Presidents at FCs only last a few months anyway.

Glad to hear about everyone's nice Thanksgiving family and friends events. My sis has been too stressed this year with a new baby (only 5 months old) and more stress after a promotion at work, so she decided to take a real break for the holiday. So for the first time I tried my hand at making the meal on my own. Luckily, there's just my own 3 year old, who had oatmeal, (damn picky eater) and the father of that 3 year old, and myself. I had to work during the day, but it didn't take too long to bake a chicken and whip up some sides. I was really proud of myself! I was NOT proud of watching the Thanksgiving episode, with all the ass kissing to the right (to the right, to the right...spew all your bullshit directly to the right!) I know they've done that before, but it wasn't Thanksgiving -was it? Was it the ridonkulous two months pregnant baby shower right before her wig took a tumble down the 7 flights of outdoor stairs? (did she return those gifts?) Anyway, I wanted to hear the internal thoughts right after someone smiled and said something "nice" about the person to the right "I admire your strength! Internally: You're a ball busting shrew." "Thanks for being my friend and getting my toddler into school. Internal dialog: I'm gonna make your wife go nuts and stab someone"

Does Soccer star RJ still have his honorary sword necklace that $Bill sent him one of the times Brill was supposed to happen? At least Ivy had a chance to condition her hair. And does Quinn really want her to lose her "accent?" Anyway... MAKEOVER MONTAGE!!! Woo hooooo! And we're Chicken and Waffles fighting over that rag doll Steffy with the Exact Same Dialog months ago? There's been no movement in that story? Chicken has spent about 90 percent of his 'marriage' trying to convince his wife not to run away with her ex. Let it go, let it go... become one with the wind and sky....

First time I've had a chance to watch in weeks and I get an Avants and Soulverine episode? Ugh. Although I can't think of any SL that's more worthy of tuning in. Maybe the Adam n Eve saga, just for the EWWWW that is slathered all over all of them. I enjoyed watching Sasha FINALLY vent her spleen all over Nicole. But it's too late in the pregnancy for a good faint to mean a TOCK. Where's that room backstage at Forrester with all that exposed wiring? It's about time for a good old fashioned electrocution. Maybe someone's weave could catch on fire. For clarity, I only want nicole electocuted. The baby can survive after emergency c section. And maybe have superpowers. Or Sasha can catch a few thousand volts, with only Nicole knowing her secret.And While Mama Long Legs is in a coma Nicole can give Papa A the Squint Eye the whole time.

Well they stopped killing off Black Males for a while, so someone's gotta go.

I peeked in today just to see what the hub bub's all about and WOW. what in the actual fuq was that? Let me start with.. I think Quinn DID give Deacon the heave over the cliff. We only saw the last hug and then she was in a silk robe ready for pre hike Sessy Bizniz (that's totally a thing, right?). When LiDam was packing his little school bag, I thought for sure he was gonna put a couple of juice boxes in there and a Lunchables and run away from "home". Why is he not even a little suspicious or uneasy? How is this storyline supposed to have any interest if there's no possibility that he's ever going to figure this out? Steffy looks like she's trying to slowly turn into Hope. And Ivy looked and just WAS stunning. Yes, steffy, you got engaged to your fiancee's brother unseemingly quickly. $Bill is as much of an idiot as Wyatt. And right now Wyatt is the thirstiest idiot in town. And this is a town with both Rick Forrester AND Long Legged Sasha. Thank Heavens for small favors. No Firrester/Avants.

Funny thing is...this quote doesn't specify which story line, but it really could be ANY of them!

Wow, I got out in time. Sometimes I catch a few minutes while I'm getting ready for work, and I usually quickly change the channel to cartoons or something. I don't care what Maya and Rick are doing, ever. The show can pretend that only rainbows shoot out of both of their asses, but I remember, Show. I remember. I wish Sasha would just get her bunny boiling on, and go completely eyes spinning crazy. She could kidnap Rick, or Zende or both. Keep them drugged and have her way with them while sending out pictures of them doing it to their significant others and to whatever gossip rag $Bill is publishing. Why not? Its what all the cool kids are doing now. I guess we shouldn't be too surprised by the latest Fuller Foolery, Wyatt first "fell in love" with Hope when she hit her head on a rock and was passed out cold. Instead of calling 911, he smooched her back to consciousness! He learnt it from his Mama! Things have gotten really gross on this show. But I still enjoy the reactions and analysis from everyone on here. Even when their opinions or their perceptions differ from mine, its still entertaining and way more well thought out than anything on the show.

That's certainly ...different. Beats whatever cowl necked, zippered, off patterned monstrosity I caught St Maya wearing the other day. And the "Coochie Cutter" , casino flooring patterned nonsense Sasha's been prancercizing around town in. Every time that girl takes a step, I can feel a Ghost Wedgie. Get her a better weave, she's a good looking girl. She got her Weave at Steffie's house of "Too much is never enough". Ivy needs a fall off a balcony or something. She's already been pushed off a bridge into a river, then electrocuted in a wall of Silly String (seriously, what the hell kind of electrical set up is that!!!??) whats one more potentially brain damaging event. maybe she'll fall for Zende or Carter or something.

Even casual viewing of a few minutes of Show is enraging. So Thomas designed a dress for Ivy? A dress that would've gotten him Auf'd from Project Runway. And ivy ears up all the flirting. Instead of saying "I have a boyfriend", which feeds into the 'women as object's narrative.. how about.. "Dibt do that, I don't like it or want it". Wyatt yammering to Haystack about her brother not respect I g his relationship was effing hilarious. Considering that is EXACTLY how Steff got that Polyester Prize Liam back under her thumb. Last week watching Maya slobber and giggle with glee when it was confirmed that Nicole is pregnant , then practically reach for the zip ties to truss her sister up for the duration was too much for me. 20 seconds was all I could stand. You just KNOW Maya is going to Nicole to nurse, because Speshul Forrester gets gas on regular formula!! And because Maya is just the absolute worse kind of person. When I was Nicole age, she probably would've been able to manipulate me too and watching Nicole bear the brunt of Maya's blind selfishness hurts my soul. You in DANGER Girl!!

In PA as well, Snap, and it's been on in the 1230 slot for as long as I can remember. You know, for all the maids and SHAMs (Remember Michael Keating as Mr Mom getting hooked on the show?). It at least used to be the #1 show for prison populations. But I think even in lockup you might decide working out, or converting to a new religion might be a better use of that hour.

My fantasy scenario, is that Nicole DOESN'T get pregnant with the Miracle Gift Baby. They try and try and try several times, and keep coming up snake eyes. Or Nicole does get preggers, but then miscarries and with complications, cant get pregnant again. And Maya secretly HATES her sister for killing HER Pretty Princess Dreams. No matter what, I want Maya to get a big ol' LOSER buzzer every single day. Shut your mouth while you chew on bitter cakes, Matriarch.

I am so glad I don't watch regularly anymore, this Gimme a Baby story is what rage blackouts are made for. I had my first and only child at 43! And once I knew he was there.. I couldn't imagine not being bonded to him. I know families who have been given the gift of adoption, and those who have used other means. But the chance that the birthing mother will bond with and be unable to give up their child is very real and more probable than not. I wish someone could at least delay Queen Maya's baby blood lust. Someone please suggest they wait three months... three Damn cycles, and revisit this insanity in the New Year. Why does this need to happen RIGHT NOW? Is someone dying? Sorry, this was a lengthy rant from someone only keeping up with the show here, but I've seen how this kind of thing can and does backfire, badly for everyone. Plus I am loving the Parents Avant. Someone needs to toss a net over poor trapped Nicole and dork shuffle her off to an exotic locale. With REAL doctors and therapists, and REAL FRIENDS or experienced mothers to talk to and learn from. So, Thomas was "banished" to Paris for the length of a serious TimeOut?

I saw a lot of Monday's show and I swear Maya looked like she wanted to take a big old Vampire BITE out of her own sister's uterus. I full expected her to grow fangs and start drooling she looked so delighted with herself that Nicole had fallen for this manipulation. It has been what 3 days in show time from the time they approached Nicole with the idea, and this appointment when she's about to be used as a walking incubator. Give the poor girl a few weeks to think, breath, party like the young girl she is, talk to more than ONE person about this! Shut up Brooke. "I approve", Of you zipping your lip

With this writing team, I wouldn't be surprised if they retconned maya to "She was a girl all along, her parents just decided they wanted a boy so raised her as such. So all the 'painful surgeries' she talked about were just a nose job and a breast lift. She had no idea she had a uterus all along!" Or something like that. Because these writers suck. No continuity, no respect for even RECENT history and anything that we've already seen play out can and will be handwaved away. Or, a Wizard did it!

So what happened to RJ's PreSpencerfying sword necklace? Does anyone even Skype with that kid? Didn't he have a summer break? Shouldn't he be about 25 by now?

It's probably a lot of work shoe horning into.those ill fitting, tight in the wrong way suits. And making sure that scraggly beard gets chewed by goats every morning to make sure it always looks unkempt AND sparse. And I am sure he is holding in his poops to keep that tight distracted constipated look on his face all the time. And anyone having to get up close and personal with Bride of Chucky every day should get a 6 figure salary, amirite? I need the ghost of Aly to start Poltergeisting the crap out of these fools

Heather Thom in her frilly lady garments. YOWSA, please may I have another? Has Bill been rolling around in powdered cheese and baby oil? Was he super orange or was that my tv settings? He looked like a wet traffic cone. I have nothing to add to the general discussion, as I have stopped watching regularly and only catch it once in a Blood Moon Eclipse. Is Steffy's hair now its own character?

One thing this Show does consistently and very well.is Ruin a Character. Oh, you like this refreshing girl who isn't all about the bling? Let's turn her into an opportunist AND a bully! What about this snarky computer nerd searching for estranged family? Make them into either a hateful.waffle or the worst model/dancer who can't stop running her mouth about other people's business. Yeah, remember when Ivy was cool and didn't take crap from a man? Stay away from Zende, show! Who an I kidding? By next month show will somehow make HIM Ally's killer.

We got it all tonight. Picking my teams by playground rules, dodge/paint ball. Someone just being way to smart for the room (Candace), the "it's not my fault" loser and even.. the girl who gets along with all the guys! I am glad Laurie said.. something... because that San Francisco Lady story was just a hot mess (Candace again). And seems like they were all secretly prepared to Dump Ashley under a Rickshaw. I am so tired of " thrown under the bus ". I thought Candace and Ashley considered themselves friends of sorts after their win together. Kelly really should've gone, but I guess Amanda had been on the bottom too many times to ignore.

Looks like I got out Just in time. The storylines you all are describing sounds like a rage blackout to me. On my way home today I was listening to an oldies station on the radio...when lo and behold, Harper Valley PTA comes on! No lie, I squealed and started car dancing with my two year old. And I laughed and laughed and laughed. Then I read about what has happened on Show, and I just want to puke.

You all have thrown out some great ideas. Well thought out, plausible and mining a history that we've seen or heard abut. Which is a guarantee that it won't be that. My guess is that Ridge got someone else in Paris pregnant and is scared to tell Caro. Or its a posthumous letter from Mama Stephanie advising him that his spawn are the work of the Devil and he should not propagate any further. Or a letter fro RJ, begging to come the hell home e already! I saw show today while getting ready for work, Caroline was sweet and broke my heart when Ridge said "have a baby" with the relief, happiness on her face. Rick and Maya took a photographer on their honeymoon with them? At least Thomas got that creeping scragg off his face, even though he didn't get a Real Boy haircut yet. Brooke can exit stage left with her "advice". Maybe let Ridge tell CAROLINE his decision before the tells YOU, Buttinski.

Justawatcher , I'm not saying the internationa lcontestants who got booted didn't deserve it, it was just strange that the went all in a row, when as you say the bottom 9-10 contestants are fodder and could go in any order. That folded skirt mess with the strange headline front the blonde designer for the hallmark challenge really needed to be the one to go. It wouldn't be the first time a contestant got a pass for not really using the unconventional material when the judges still liked the garment. And although the swimsuit debacle was atrocious, that weirdly fitted shiny blue church dress with a half cape should've definitely sent Joe (?) packing. And this week I feel like Nina may have been on mind altering drugs. I worry for her.
