Retired at last

Well, I'm glad they aren't going to marry Kristen off. My next thought was Gwen, and then I read the next paragraph. Other than the fact that we have to see Gwen again, I guess it makes sense. Maybe Dimitri and Leo are the next couple and Gwen can play the beard. She would do anything for money - as would Leo.

And who knows what that swab went through and how many hands it changed in before it got to Eric to give to Kayla or Nicole. So so dumb.

One of the soap mags just printed that - surprise - the DNA test is going to come back as NOT Eric's, so the assumption will be that it is EJ's. Nicole and Eric will look longingly at each other, but EJ is thrilled. Of course, they won't be smart enough to confirm it with another test. But, I anticipate Sloan having a permanently guilty look on her face, and watch it turn out that she didn't fake the test. They just want us to hate Sloan.

I had this on and switched between 4 other shows. There is NO reason we have to be subjected to Chris and Nicole (well, Nicole). I don't care that she wants an ugly chair. I don't care that they are going to play pickle ball. I hate that she insists that they will do everything together until they die. I truly don't think he can even go to the bathroom alone and it makes me disgusted. So, when she comes on, off goes the show. I am switching between Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, QVC, and news. ALL better than watching her. Dom - we were just fine not seeing her once she left. I am sure she would love to get her fangs in Gil, but not a chance. Production is really trying to find someone who will take her. First, get her a personality. Second, wipe that permanent "I'm so much better than you" smirk off her face. Dom on - time for Raymond. I am really liking Jas and her "friend boy." You can tell how much damage Airris did to her by the things she is asking. She really needs validation that she is attractive. She will be fine and "friend boy" will be lucky. Airris will be sorry to hear that his time with Duchess is done. I have a sinking feeling that Kirsten and Shaq will try again. He will need consoling after the loss of his grandmother. I don't think they will work in the long run, but if she needs to try again, whatever. I am tired of her voice and I have no respect for him. He is too needy. I still absolutely adore Clint and was glad to see that he and Dom don't hook up. I think the scene they keep showing is some kind of a dare because they all seem to be there when they kiss. He is too classy for that if it is not a dare. I am glad he has had great sex and that it wasn't with Dom. I am really interested to see what happens with him and Hank next week. Miss Gina has not been home since the show was over - she is so busy traveling and strutting her stuff. I don't think Clint would take Hank, although Hank would be happy. He will get his own dog and give Hank back, I think. But, I really don't want him to. He is a much better dad than she is a mom. You can tell when the dog chooses his person and it is NOT her. I don't know why they started adding these after D Day shows. They are more fillers and don't make me like any of these people any more and make me dislike the ones I already don't like even more. I LIKE Clint and Jas and Hank. I can tolerate Kirsten and Chris (as long as he stood firm on no gold chair. If he caved, then he goes to permanent ban).

Wow - the show is over and there have only been 10 responses. - 3 of them from me just commenting and it hasn't even been on here yet! Just tell me - did we see the scene with Clint and Dom kissing?

Oh no. I liked Gil, too. Well, she has good taste. Better than Gina and Myrla.

NO NO to hot lattes between Clint and yucky Dom. OK, maybe one - he has been alone for a while.

I like him shaggy, too! I think he is adorable. And so much fun. And a great dog dad. Gina is such an idiot!

But, do we have any idea WHY Abe was kidnapped? Is he still sick or was he just a part of a master plan that we don't know of yet?

Maybe Clint will come to the rescue and take the poor dog. Then he will have a step-sibling for Hank.

I am hoping that is just a stupid rumor. Why not make one of them possessed, while they're at it?

I thought they both had to sign the revised lease, and then she brought out those papers to change her name, which I don't think he had to sign. But, I know she signed the lease. I THINK they are staying in his current apartment, so that's probably why he is keeping all the utilities and everything in his name. BUT, if they are staying in his apartment AND they have all the dogs, why was there such a big drama at the beginning when he was upset that he couldn't have that many dogs there? Hmmmm - production hi jinx and fake drama from the beginning? No wonder it was so easy for Nicole to be the hero and come up with a solution. But, he really did look like he was crying. Maybe they are signing a lease for a different apartment in the same complex? But, then the utilities would change and could be put in both names. OK, STOP THINKING about this nonsense! ETA - Sorry - I thought this thread was about the last show and it wasn't.

Well, at least that secret is out this week. That doesn't mean we will know whose baby it is. There will be lots of switching - some we will see and others we won't. I am sure that the results will say it is EJ's first/. I want to hope that Nicole truly believes it, and not that she will accept the results because it is easier that way.

Besides, on the last show, Chris and Nicole DID sign a new lease for their new apartment (or an extension to Chris' lease) because they made a big deal of signing it and also having all the dogs there together. However, I also thought that Chris would want to take more time to decide, but it didn't end up that way.

Thanks, @WendyCR72, I was coming on here to say what you said much better - most of these people who talk to or get inspiration from Stefano's portrait didn't even know him! But, he was the kind of bad guy you still liked, for some reason. All of these new wanna-bes are people you hate and want to go away. Whether it's their lack of his charisma, humor, and his heart, which he did show when he really cared about someone, no one comes close. So stop trying.

I loved the scene next week with Clint and Hank and Airris and Duchess walking the dogs in the park. I don't want to see Airris, but I am glad that he likes Duchess and that she gets more playtime. I still want to see a road trip with Clint and Hank. I would so watch that!

And her smirk. And her face. Next?

I just couldn't even start to watch the Afterparty. First, the cast who was there I have had enough of. Second, the host started with, "Let me tell you about me." No thanks. Just that you are sitting in for Keisha is enough. And, I still believe that all of the questions that arise when the whole group is together are producer dictated. They made Nicole the lead prosecutor this whole season and we have all had enough of her. Even giving her the benefit of knowing that, I still don't want to see/hear her again. Ever. I love that she never let Chris stay in his apartment by himself and she just moved into his. She is not taking any chances of letting him leave her. I wonder if he is allowed to pee by himself? And, Nicole, just because you change your last name, he can still leave you! I am glad Kirsten finally got mad and shut Shaq down. In front of the group. I do think he was planning to go check out the dating situation and then go back to her. Ha ha. I am liking Jasmine more and more every time. Airris is an ass. And a very unattractive one who was definitely looking to get some sex ASAP. I am not a huge Mack fan, but I agree that Dom is no dog parent. She is too selfish. But, I do not like the previews for next week. Clint is coming off of 8 weeks of absolutely NO affection, so will he take her up on her obvious offer that is coming up? Yep. They will enjoy themselves and then he will find a real woman. I am glad he already gets to take Hank. It's good that Gina is letting him. Interesting that she has a trip planned already.

Oh boy - did something happen to show Gina that she isn't all that? Can't wait, and yes, I will actually watch tonight.

Isn't Bonnie seeing Sarah pretty random? Why is she seeing Rex? Have we seen anything about Linsey coming back or maybe Bonnie just reports that she saw her. We all knew that story would be back, but I sure don't want that same actress back. And, Xander hasn't done anything yet to be messed up by her return. No new marriages or anything like that. Actually, Rex and Sarah may be married, since Sarah and Xander did get a divorce.

That doesn't sound good for Chris. And, maybe they will do like Alexis and whoever did last time - they said yes, but by the time they left the location, they were already done. So, does that count as a success for the show? I can see them getting a few extra bucks for false yeses. So, maybe that's what will happen with Shaq and Kirsten?

I'll go one better and hope that it gives him amnesia and he has no idea who Paulina is and kicks her out.

I just have a feeling that Chris is going to be very picky about finding a new apartment and signing a lease once they go back to their own places to wait out their leases. He will need someplace to hide. If she is smart, she will let him, so she isn't hanging on him and smothering him all the time. That is the only way she will be able to hold on to her marriage. He needs to be able to breathe in peace. I can't get too mad at her with her relationship advice because I firmly believe she has been assigned that role from production, as they are the only successful couple. I do, however, hate it when she tells them that, "I need you to work on . . ." I think she can be nice, but she has too many issues and way too much baggage and self-esteem issues to not be in therapy. It's funny how she has such low self-esteem, and yet has to be the center of everything. Usually, someone with self-esteem issues would stay out of the limelight.

Nah, he wouldn't have wasted his boat - HE would have sailed away!

I'd rather see Jasmine and Clint than Dom and Clint any day! It never occurred to me to put those two together, but I do like them both. Hmmmm.
