Nick doesn't know Maya like others do, it seems. I have no doubt she showed him one face or spins things to him to keep his support and friendship. Much like she does to anyone who matters in her world. She is manipulative and calculating. That being said he should not be so naive and outspoken. I don't think anyone planned on firing Maya I think the goal was oust Rick and deal with the other stuff later. However how long can Maya be "Lead Model" don't fashion houses change those with the seasons or have a signature model like Kate Moss for a few years then end the contract once that gets stale or the model won't meet salary demands or, to be blunt, gets too old?

No

Her bf wears those hats a lot. She probably borrowed his and is wearing it out of cuteness or something. "My hat? Oh yes it's my boyfriends."

Its been the # 1 soap in the WORLD and #2 in the US along time. Also it's not corporate owned but owned by the EP Brad Bell and he has a lot of pride in the show. I heard a lot of stories from the actors on how well he treats them and I believe that since basically every cast member of it loves him to death. I think when they go on location shoots he pays for their family to come with so they get lil vacations out of it. Last year they went on like 8 different location shoots to very cool places like Paris, Amsterdam, Dubai, ect. And when they go they really highlight the cities like film at the Eiffel Tower or on a canals of Amsterdam with local celebrities. Even the lighting and clothes are 5x better on B&B than even Y&R.

Well even if its diamond water it's still WATER and CA is in a ridic drought so maybe she is selling it. I would buy it if it was the same price as Aquafina or Fiji. As much as I knock Asifa, Bobby is an asshole for dragging everyone into their relationship drama. Fuck. Handle your shit.

They already fired the guy who played Xander? Geez. What is with this show bringing people on and giving them a contract and press then them leaving in months (like Shrewena and Toothy and Xander)?

She's getting Naomi edges. Too tight hairstyles and hair weaves. She'll be bald and patchy by 35 at this rate.

I saw how MJ took care of her dogs and I'm not sure she's be a responsible mother. I see how malicious, cold, and stupid Asifa is with her dog plus how materialistic and needy she is to Bobby--and thank God this beeyotch hasn't bred. Asifa would be like Mama Joyce from RH of Atl.

I think the rating (tv and online or w/e) must be a lot shittier than even 15 years ago because look at the budget. A few small ass lame sets, weird clothes, no location shoots, for the longest taping a bunch of shows at once so it's 6 months in advance which makes it hard to change failing story and it is grueling on the cast and crew, and the soap mags always post how the show is in danger of being cancelled. Those things are clues the ratings are shitty. I think.

Rihanna is so beautiful.

Top Notch Fashion Model there^ and look at that amazing acting EP Jill and EP/HW Pratt rave about constantly.

^^Thank you! She made her choice. It is ok to wanna work things out but they aren't. At all. And staging stunt corny photoshoots and giving lavish gifts aren't going to address the serious problems they have. I can't get over how dismissive and rude she is to him and it appalls me how she refuses to touch or care for that poor pet dog. Whattttta shreeeeew. I half wonder if while she was in Europe with that guy he saw his out and slept with her best pal because that's unforgivable and would be a nail in the relationship coffin. Unfortunately for him escape proved elusive. Bobby is a little cute btw. He should drop the zero. I don't feel like Reza's aging well he's starting to look like a cartoon character. I don't feel bad for saying that since he's the shallowest mf who ever lived not named Kardassion.

Maybe Sonja farted and needed to air the joint out.

I meant how Nick is with Maya. He could be a good influence on her. I agree he doesn't know everything about how she acts I think she shows him one side and others a different one. She does that a lot, act a way with one person and totally different with another. It can come across as a bit manipulative to me.

So Victor with all the henchmen, doppelgängers, plotting, arranged murder, attempted murder, and rape is basically Stephano DiMera now.

I really like Nick and my wish* is he sticks around. He's pretty laid back and cool he could possibly be a friend for Ally and/or Ivy. I purposely didn't use the h word. LOL

How do you know I've written zero books? And no offense but it seems like you are discrediting me and expecting me to defend myself. You made your assertion she is the most accomplished. I said in my opinion she isn't. Honestly I'm not comfortable about your above statement and the one you made about "why would anyone be proud of going to a state school."

I don't think Carole is singled out more than housewives in other franchises. I watch the other shows and am avid in their forums. Also I don't think she is the most accomplished HW of all the RH franchise, that would probably be Eileen Davidson, IMHO. She has distinguished herself more career wise acting and writing, has a fantastic family, and is very popular and well known. Those are all nothing to sneeze at. Maybe even Beth is more accomplished than Carole. Carole used to be a journalist years ago and wrote one well reviewed book, thats cool but she's not Donna Tartt or Christiane Amanpour and hasn't set the world on fire in her 52 years. About the "girls" I noticed it a lot on this show and Vicki from RH of OC is the biggest user of calling everyone girl and every man (even at 65 years old) a boy. I admit I don't use those terms for adults for myriad reasons. I think it sounds a bit silly. It however is not outlandish for middle aged women to say. Most of my colleagues call me girl or my/friend coworker boy. Like "your appointment is with that girl." Or "that boy you'll see does a good job!" He and I enjoyed that talking later privately. He laughed a lot "I'm the 50 year old boy!" Also the show calls these ladies cougars a lot; can a cougar still be a girl? I guess that shows the word is used in fun.

That sounds like a cool theme for a cooking show. I used to be friends with a chef who used a very scientific approach to cooking who recently passed away Homaru Cantu. He treated each thing he prepared as a experiment and saw food in a very fun and exciting way. I believe he was on Iron Chef a few x.

I have to agree about Oleg and Sophie.

Bantering I don't think the writers hate Abigail by any means based on the fact the actress is in a relationship with one and the writing in general of her being praised often and (cough) the voice of reason. Speaking of Failure typical of her displaying control freak tendencies knocking Mannequin for changing his name. She encouraged his relationship with Hillbilly Rapist and FYI she isn't engaged to Mannequin so why does he have I to defer to her about that name shit anyhow? She just wants an excuse to justify bopping on Chads dick and being a participant of an affair, and of course criticize and judge a person since those 2 things are her everything.... besides slapping people. Those 3 hobbies.

One of the beautiful facts of Mike's redemption was that he owned his shit. He was a character that didn't feel sorry for himself, had a lot of accountability, developed a sense of humor and unflappability. The Mike of the past 2 years is a bit out of character. JMHO. Now I personally will always side with the person cheated on and lied to, the person who has difficult family members, the person with a serious illness. So I'm not trivializing anything he's gone through the past 2 years. But he's being a petulant dick. And the journey isn't that entertaining for me. Good pt made upthread about Sage. I stand by my posted fears that she's going to become either Smelly Horse 2.0 or merely more of a pain in the ass to listen to and watch. It is a shame Sharon has to be trashed (yet again) to uplift such a worthless character. It will be hilarious though once Herb disappoints Nick in any way and he will throw her aside like a parking ticket then go sniffing around Sharon, Avery, or Phyllis. He's very basic and predictable.

When it comes to comedies I love 30 Rock and Arrested Development and Parks and Recreation. I also watch many (too many) reality shows but my faves of my tv watching life were I Love NY (both seasons were amazingly hilarious) and A-List (2 seasons) and A- List: Dallas which were deliciously snarky.

But if a person like all about surface Khloe want to keep up that perfect image all the cookies from the middle to bottom will be stale as shit since no ones going to eat the entire jar in one sitting. People would nosh on some and the level goes down. She immediately replaces them so it looks "perfect". And it continues.

I think I'm going to try kne of those home gel kits. I have my hands wet often and use a Dremel daily with dogs that may move so that will be a factor. A co worker gets gels but does get that filed chips from aggressive dogs sometimes.
