A-Lo

So Brooke didn’t taste the alcohol in her drink? I don’t drink vodka but I thought it had a certain odor. And she doesn’t notice its effects on her? Having trouble swallowing (get it? Hee hee!) that one. i have to say it’s been nice having an involuntary break from Show but it’s equally nice to have life back to normal, soaps-wise.

I'm new to this show and still trying to figure things out. If that's even possible. My biggest questions is why, if they all had homes they liked in Las Vegas and their kids were settled there, did they up and move to Flagstaff without having a plan...beyond setting up each family in a rental...in place? I wouldn't do that with my family alone so I can't imagine doing it with four!

Thanks for letting us know that some of the episodes are online, everyone. I'd just assumed that B&B wasn't going to be shown for the duration of the trial. Speaking of that trial, does anyone else agree that if they're going to do this trial, they should start in the morning instead of the afternoon to get it over with sooner? The way it's being conducted it's going to take forever!

What a spectacular scene between Brooke and Quinn today! It’s nice to see the return of the wrath of Brooke. Pure soapy goodness!

I really couldn't make heads or tails out of Jackie's story about the engagement ring and her mom buying it from the boyfriend. If Jackie didn't want to marry him, why didn't she just turn down the proposal? I really don't see what Dolores sees in David unless it's the borrowed prestige of dating a doctor. He seems to have zero interest in her. That could be because he's awkward in front of the cameras but there's no spark between them at all. And frankly, he's not that attractive.

I'm confused by the color of both Flo and Shauna's hair. It's some kind of weird not-blonde, not-brown shade that has a cast of gray in it. Abby Newman's hair on Y&R is the exact same color. I wonder if the hair dept was able to get a discount on huge batch of it?

I think every post on this forum should end with "And just STFU, Ridge"! 🙂

And here we go again. So tired of these rewarmed boring triangles!

I never EVER thought I'd feel sorry for Zoe. But I kinda do right now. And what the hell, Brooke? Douglas is like 4 or 5. Why are you talking to him like he's a liddle widdle baby???

I really felt for Hope when she was beseeching Stuffy to not rehire Zoe. Her desperation...and disbelief that everyone else wanted to give Zoe a second chance...felt very real.

Jennifer Aydin was insufferable on last night's episode! The downside...well, one of them, anyway...to the RHO franchises is that the women "starring" on them become convinced that they're real, actual celebrities who are entertaining in their own right. While this might be true for a few, for the majority it's just embarrassing. I imagine that Jennifer was a too much even before she landed RHOC but now her ego is so huge I'm surprised that her whole head doesn't fly away!

That's it! The private room at Caffe Russe. Thank you, CharlizeCat! It was driving me crazy. All I could come up with was the Rhumba Room and I knew that couldn't be it. I totally agree with your views on dating today. When I was working with college students in the very recent past and I would bring up dating as a way of getting to know someone they would look at me like I had two heads! They don't know what they're missing. Sigh...

Geez, Shauna...let Sludge take you on a date or two before you declare your love for him! What ever happened to wooing? Remember back in the day when Ridge would take all of his women to the Something (can't remember the name of it) Room and they'd get all dressed up for it? Where's the romance gone on this show?

I totally don't get Braunwyn. Or however you spell her weird name. How does she have that bangin' body after delivering all those kids? And how is she able to just leave all those kids to go on various jaunts here and there? Like to Miami where she and her flamboyant husband used to have all those "good" days being "themselves". None of it adds up! Especially the outfits both of them were wearing.

I really enjoyed TK's performance today for the first time since he debuted as our new Ridge. He actually was believable in his acting choices...although I'm as stymied by his choice of words as the rest of you...and seemed to really be into the whole goodbye scene. Even crying real tears! I wonder, though...is the thought of working with a new actress so exciting to him that for once he wasn't phoning it in?

I cannot imagine any mother of even 1 child, let alone 7, allowing herself to be filmed drunk with her boobs hanging out and humping anything in sight. I don't think I'm a prude by any means but the desperation of some of these women who lower themselves to such a degrading level sexually has me shaking my head. Braunwynn looks like a walking venereal disease at this point!

If Shannon looked at me the way she looked at Shannon during that interrogation, I'd pee my pants! That is one scary woman!

Dear Hailey 2, Thank you for inserting yourself into that dick Matthew's life and getting yourself impregnated as quickly as you possibly could. Oh, and also for going on television and being a straight-up bitch. Sure took the hating heat off of me! McKayla

Is "Raggedy" Hope or Stuffy? And why? I just don't get it.

I had to laugh when Ananda mentioned to the kids that they'd all have to become independent someday and move out of their parents' homes and McKayla looked down her nose at her grandmother, announcing that she will be moving out of her grandparents' home when she finishes college whether they like or not. Right after the grandmother had remarked that she wouldn't mind if McKayla moved out now.

There's no way that Sheryl should've won that competition. All she did was basically stand there, mouthing the words, while dancers danced around her (as did Sharon). Carrie Ann's performance was amazing, as was Eve's, and either one of them should've won. I enjoy this Halloween episode but why is there the need to make it a competition? It would be just as enjoyable on its own. I was kind of surprised at how stiff Marie was!

Party of one here, but I'm enjoying the interactions between Sludge and Shauna maybe because we're finally getting to see something new on Show. I don't know why the writers can't understand that pairing up the same people year after year, saying the same things year after year, grows old and stale. Seriously, how many of us think that there's any spark left between Bill and Katie? Brooke and Ridge? Steffy and Liam?

Unless things are done very differently in the Netherlands from the US, Jesse won't be able to get any kind of clinical license with just a bachelor's degree. And I don't think he's smart enough to go for a master's or PhD. He may be able to manipulate people like Darcy or the folks in the nursing home into thinking he's some big brain but we've all seen otherwise.

In a preview clip we were shown Akini saying "I like the way Michael talks" in a smiley, flirty way only to be met by big Ange warning her "Stay in your lane!". I was looking forward to watching that play out...and hoping that maybe this would be the start of a real love connection between Ma-chul and Akini...but never saw it during the episode. Did I miss it???

I did find it kind of funny when Shauna was interacting with Sludge with that gold face mask on and didn't realize it. Then again, who falls asleep with a face mask on?
