That was weird. Really weird.

I thought they said this was I Wanna Rock night. That last song didn't remotely sound like rock.

I haven't been on this board all week, so I missed the opportunity to vote Mop off the island. Not that that would have counted much against the landslide in favor of Dick in a Box. LOL. I knew CZ was a good actress from my sporadic viewing spells of ATWT. She really is wonderful. But both she and we deserved better, story-wise. This has been so WTF and out of the blue. I understand it being that way for the Newmans, but it shouldn't be that way for the viewers. It would have been much more effective if there had been a real build up and we were in on what was going on. Then we could have been invested in it and enjoying it. Instead, it's WTF from the moment it started until the moment it ended a few episodes later. Just having ex-Abby hanging around as a suspicious assistant was no kind of build up. So I knew "you can call me Jordan for now", (still waiting to find out her real name), was crazy-pants when she said that Mop had pretty hair. Once again they make Never-Ever-Billy-even-though-the-better-actor-passed the voice of reason. Really? There was no other choice? No, I think there were much better options. Even Conner, Sharinsane and Esther would have been more believable as the voice of reason. That antidote worked wonders. by the time the paramedics got there everyone was recovered! Even Cole - who didn't drink the poison, but got hit in the head with a hammer! Did the paramedics check him out for that? Or did that antidote fix that all up, too? Then Aunt Jordan disappears and now lives in the wall. Like JT did. real original. Note to the head writer - if you are going to steal, steal things that happened on other shows, not from the same damn show. And the police in Oregon really were made to look great. No evidence that she escaped, but they don't think to look for a secret passageway? Well, she disappeared into thin air, happens all the time in Oregon, right? And the same damn people who were terrorized by JT living in the wall, are just, oh, okay. WTF? So was that it? Aunt Jordan has gone the way of Ian Ward? I just have one technical question about all the action scenes - the fights, the chases -were they filmed in slow motion? And, I'm also wondering, is the Victor-fakes-losing-his marbles story over? Did it have any effect on any of them? Other than Partless being kicked to the curb? Also wondering how long it's going to take the Newmans to get back to GC? And let ButtBiscuit know they're all okay. So Chance thinks that being a police officer is not fair to his family, (including his father who faked his death and was absentee most of Chance's life! Yes, Chance did say his "parents" when he was listing his family.) and so he is quitting. But wasn't he promoted to Chief of Police? And isn't that more of an office job, running things, not being a flatfoot, or riding around in a squad car? I get the feeling that the guy writing this show doesn't think very highly of the police. Tuckerneck and Audra were sitting in a tree, kissing, then poof he's in the dining area with Ash. I like Tuckerneck and Ash together, they deserve each other. But what happened there??? Wasn't that kissing fest Tucker and Audra shared leading to more? Did they do it, then he zipped up and popped downstairs to meet Ash? And all those black and white flashbacks. So many. Were some of them new scenes, never shown before? And that stupidass scene in Paris, or was it the rooftop lunchroom/workout room at Forrester Creations? Those plastic plants looked awfully familiar. We've never seen either Tuckerneck or Ash act like the two of them were acting before. Out of character for both of them. Seemed more like one of Nikki's drunken hallucinations. I can't believe I watched the whole week's worth of episodes.

I thought this was Gazelle's weakest performance. I liked her up until now. She was really laying on that phony forced emotion thick. She should have concentrated on singing the song better. Was she actually better before, or did I just fall for it?

23&Me actually has data on this from people submitting their dna. You can find out if you're more cro-magnon or more neaderthal. Something like that. You left out an Abbott or two. She married Billy three times. The first time it was invalid, so it's either Victoria Newman-McNeill-Howard-Howard-Carlton-Hellstrom-Abbott-Abbott-Locke. Or, Victoria Newman-McNeill-Howard-Howard-Carlton-Hellstrom-Abbott-Abbott-Abbott-Locke if you count her first marriage to Billy which was invalid, but I think you do have to count that, so Abbott x3 it is. LOL. Sharinsane's littany of last names is the funniest. It's like the Monty Python Spam skit. Newman, Newman, Newman, Bacon and Eggs, Newman, Newman, and Newman. (Actually, it's Collins-Newman-Newman-Abbott-Newman-Newman-Newman-McCall-McAvoy-Rosales, with two more marriages to Nick Newman that were never completed! I think Vicky was underage when she married Ryan. She was either 16 or 17.

I do believe that Eric is deathly allergic to nutmeg. I recall someone spiking the lemon bars.

While Luna was there, Penelope was looking at $Bill like she didn't recognize him, but after Luna left she got an entirely different look on her face. Not sure what it meant. Maybe she did remember him or maybe she sees him as an easy mark. I really hope Luna is not $Bill's offspring. Or relation of any kind. Being related to Finn is enough! (Even if it's not technically by blood.) And besides, I am so tired of surprise relatives. Surprise, Sheila's your mom! Surprise, Jack really is your bio dad! Surprise, Massimo is your bio dad! Surprise, Liam is your son! Surprise, Wyatt is your son! Surprise, Marcus is your son and your son! Surprise, Beth is alive! Which leads us into the realm of surprise paternities and maternities... I hope Luna's paternity is just a red herring, but I have that feeling of dread.

I saw last Friday's episode and the spoilers tricked me into watching Monday's episode. What an unbearable snooze fest. And the saddest part is that there were characters I like featured. Sigh. From what I've read here, I'll watch Wednesday's episode so that I can see the Baldwins. So Fen (or Scotty, lol) didn't come home for Thanxgiving? I did watch today and really enjoyed that episode from 1993, back when the show was great. Funny, when I heard Cole was coming back, my first thought was I wish it was Ryan instead. So it was extra nice to have a Ryan episode. Michael at his worst! And those puzzle pieces that Sheila was mailing to Lauren and Brad - good times! That's the Y&R that I miss so much.

Lydia Lunch?

It's the only mess in town. I don't know what you guys saw, but in the Gotham City area we've got last year's Thanxgiving episode airing. Deacon and Sheila together in her hotel room, before they were "in love". Zende with hair. Hope with Waffles.

I take it that she didn't dance in either of those? Some things can never be unseen.

I'm getting more of a RJ is the new Liam vibe with his ridiculous wet cat facial expressions. I think she is. Yes, he was. Eric was in love with Donna's mother when they were both in college together. Thomas was born in 1998. Hope was born in 2002. Thomas was SORASed pretty quickly. I think we saw much more of Hope as a young child, and at the same time that we saw Thomas as a teenager. Seems like I'm sitting at the kiddie table all by myself, but I am totally intrigued with Zende going to his dark side and wooing Luna away from shmoopy RJ. That look on Zende's face. Like he was twirling a mustache. Bring it!

That's still not saying much.

I find it hard to think that Planet Claire would be Eve. Wouldn't her top priority be connecting with her birth mother? And why would she think that getting revenge on her grandmother Nikki would not alienate her from Victoria even more and ruin any chances she would have to reunite with her? And good grief, a pineapple from Lucy? I guess kids do say the darnedest things. Because we all know that a pineapple on the porch or doorstep is the sign for the location of the swingers party, or just to identify that swingers live there. And Lucy saw them all over Savanah. LOL. So we get a clue about whatever it was that Daniel did that was so bad. The clue is that he spiraled. And not with a Spirograph. Okay, I'll admit that it's not really much of a clue, but it's something. They didn't actually drop this stupidity. I don't think anybody cares, and I don't think it will have any impact if it's actually ever revealed. I thought they had dropped it. Whatever. I can't believe it, the previews made me want to watch next week. I only watched Friday's episode today because I was interested in what's happening to Nikki, and I had the time.

Wasn't there spec that Planet Claire was related to JT? Maybe Aunt Jordan Almonds is JT in a wig?

Was it anything like Ren & Stimpy's "Space Madness"? LOL. Just be grateful you don't have SORAS.

I think HT left the show when there was that big producers/writers change. The show went completely downhill after that. It's just been one bad team after another. Some being worse than others and the show being in a really bad state right now. I was okay with Katie until she cheated with her niece Bridget's husband Nick. I felt that was too out of character and since then she has no leg to stand on regarding her high horse morality. Even though I don't like Katie, I do like HT. And I can't stand the awful Victoria we're stuck with now. She's the pits.

Is it just an old wives tales that you shouldn't go swimming right after eating? I always heard that growing up. RJ and Fibberty Jibberty sure came back quickly after that swim in the ocean. They didn't even have time to climb down that cliff and stick their toes in. I think they just hosed each other off on the patio.

I'm totally okay with unnamed soap diseases. We get invested in the characters on soaps, watching them longer than we know some of our friends. When a character succumbs to a disease, and someone watching also has that disease, it can be very emotionally upsetting, even devastating for that viewer. I find it very responsible for soaps to have their characters die due to unnamed soap diseases. And in fact, I swing the other way, I don't like it when any show gives a character a disease and then treats it very unrealistically or the writers even forget about it all together. And when a disease is non-life threatening and they follow through with it, I agree with you that it is a good thing when they raise awareness.

I don't know... when we get a tear jerker story that contestant is usually unmasked. I'd like to have Donut and Anteater stay. I can't stand Candelabra, but her style is popular. I think Cuddle Monster was the weakest tonight. ETA: You were right!

I loved Trolls in the '60's when I was little. They scream the '60's to me. I just did some googling on that Anteater spoiler, and yup, that's him. He was a "scrappy wrestler" in high school. And a bunch of stuff about cars and Nascar. And yes, he (they) did Live Aid.

I like the wig on Ken. He looks like he's ready to sell tarako noodles.

Poppy needs to learn boundaries. Who the hell randomly shows up at their daughter's place of internship, (in a different city, if not state, too), uninvited and unannounced, and also who the hell let her in the building and told her what office Luna would be in, or did she just go from office to office looking for her? Why are Poppyseed and Li having a heated conversation at FC? Neither one of them should be there. How the hell did RJ get that tight, tiny shirt over his pumped arms? Does he have to go all Hulk to out of his clothes?

It would be about eight years, I think. I remember when the twins, Steffy and Phoebe, sang at their mother's funeral. I think they were about seven years old. That was the worst singing I ever heard on tv. I don't know why they had those little girls do that. No matter how good of an idea someone thought they had, once they heard that wretched caterwauling they should have pulled the plug on that scene. And those little girls weren't that good at acting either. But that singing. Jeezaloo. It was bad. Then Brooke raised the girls. Steffy was the one who liked Brooke. Which was ironic because of who she was named after. But they seem to have forgotten all about that. Then Taylor came back from the dead. Then the twins went to boarding school in Europe to finish high school. Which made no sense since they just got their mother back. The twins graduated over there and Phoebe came home first, had a musical career with some bad singer called Constant-stink and then had a triangle with Rick and Taylor the saint. Steffy finally came home. The twins were no longer identical. Then Phoebe died.

No brainer, Hibiscus was the weakest. But Anteater as the second weakest? No way.
