I have a question. Abby, with her size and inability to move (when she walked out on stage for the Wendy Williams show last week, she had an obvious hard time just walking) how can she possibly teach dance moves?

That River North woman was awful. And what was with her and crystal chandeliers? The new light fixtures did not belong in the unit they purchased. She's all about the blig, but no substance. That couple will never stay together.

The show opens with Katie trying to kiss Ridge, but he holds his arms away from her, like she's got cooties or something. Meanwhile, Brooke is sitting with Bill, telling him that Ridge is foggy, but Katie will make that go away. Deacon meets Quinn in a bar and tells her Ridge is alive. But the funny parts were the back and forth between the two. Comments like "I'm the Queen of Lollipop Land" and Deacon asking Quinn to spank him. Quinn calls Liam a tofu loving boyfriend to Hope, and then tries to get Deacon in her camp to get Wyatt and Hope back together. Boy, I can see some sexual fireworks between Quinn and Deacon. Deacon resists Qiunn's attempts to form an alliance to rid Hope of Liam. He takes none of Quinn's bullshit. Another family meeting happens so Hope can clue everyone in on Ridge's condition. A lot of stupid scenes about a welcome home party and what kind of cookies to bake. Thorne and Ridge meet up and hug, and then Eric asks what Ridge remembers about the helicopter. Funny thing is, though he insists he doesn't have amnesia, he doesn't seem to remember much, and doesn't seem to remember doing Katie. When asked if he remembers Katie, he says "of course, she's Brooke's sister". Katie asks for time alone with Ridge to kick start his memory. She's doing her best to trigger his memory by talking about their wonderful past, and how he persued her. At the end, she's hugging him, and he does put his arms around her, she recites poetry, and then all of a sudden, HE REMEMBERS !!!!!! See how a few words can cure? I can't wait for them to leave Dubai so we no longer have to hear that insipid snake charmer music.

When I heard Heather say that she's friends with all sorts of people, different colors, cultures and economic status, I just couldn't help but think of people who say things like "but I have a gay/black/Asian friend" when they're accused of being racist/homophobic. To me, it sounded insincere.

I don't know what it was about today's episode, but I couldn't stop looking at Ridge's forehead. He has the deep line going down the middle, which makes him look like a big butt head. But then when you add the other deep lines going across the forehead, I thought he looked like Worf, the Klingon from Star Trek the Next Generation.

I really want to like Lizzie, but to me she looks like a drag queen. In the movie To Wong Fu, there was a drag queen who looked exactly like Lizzie. All these women are backstabbing shrews, some being worse than others.

These celebrity "writers" have ghost writers who actually write these books. I don't think Jenny has enough brain power to write a whole book. We're having cases of whooping cough here in Western Pa along with quite a few cases of measles. Sorry to say, but there's a certain percentage of the population who listen to whatever any celebrity says and sees those words as 100% truth. Face it, we have a lot of gullible people in this country who look at people like Jenny McCarthy and Susan Sommers and see them as arbiters of the truth and nothing but the truth. That's why people like McCarthy are inherently dangerous. I'm a polio survivor and I would hate it if some celebrity nut went around and said that the polio vaccine was dangerous. I know how I've suffered since age 2 with that disease and it's aftereffects, and I wouldn't curse my worst enemy with it. But, because of people like McCarthy, I'm afraid that we will see a huge upswing in MMD diseases and we may even see kids dying. I wonder how she feels knowing that, if she even cares. What I see in McCarthy is a woman who might refuse to see that maybe her own life behaviors, or the behaviors of the boy's father was the cause of her son's autism.

Definitely. I used to FF through BB all the time, but now, I can watch Y and R in less than 5 minutes. B&B has gotten a lot better lately, despite the fact that I'm NOT a TK fan at all.

And after spending a week in salt water, he still looks greasy and grimy.

I feel so sad for the whole Shannon business, but I just can't understand why anyone would go on TV and air their problems. Watching a marriage die isn't easy, but does anyone wonder if it's being scripted? The reason I say this is because of some of the strange comments Shannon made about trying things to keep the marriage, such as saying she'd go to bed with him at 8:30 if that would help. Honey, changing your bedtime will not save a marriage. Maybe if you got rid of the booze it would help. I just saw that Heather's icky husband is getting his own show, about fixing bad plastic surgery. Anyone going to watch?

Justin and Fiona moved from Texas to Spain, and while we've seen unusual couples, this one has to rank in the top 5. She didn't want any ghosts or paranormal activity, and he has corn rowed hair like Bo Derek. I'm sorry, but why would an elderly, Caucasian, man with gray hair have long corn rows all embellished with colorful beads?

I know soaps need a villain, but Quinn is far beyond that. I truly hate her character and I'm getting tired of her constant manipulations. No problem with her causing problems once in a while, but every single freaking day she pulling some kind of crap and not paying for it. Seriously, how does she get away with her shit like locking Liam in a sauna, and nearly throwing Aly off a balcony and not being prosecuted? And today, stealing a key to the cabin? She's the ultimate bitch.

I have three bathrooms and the master bath doesn't have a tub, but a big shower. If I want to take a bath, I go to one of the other bathrooms and take a bath. I just don't get these house hunters who go nutso if there isn't a tub in the master. I just didn't get the Phoenix woman. If she really wanted a Mid Century modern, she should have stayed in California. I used to live in the greater Phoenix area and most of the houses are either Spanish style or Santa Fe. Watched an old show where a couple were fighting as to whether to live in Kentucky or Ohio. They were both so stupid. The realtor would show a Kentucky house and the wife would love it telling the husband that "it's only a short drive over the River" to Ohio. When they saw a house in Ohio, the wife got pissy and kept saying "it's just so far to Kentucky" when it was the exact same drive over the bridge to Kentucky. I'm constantly amazed by the weirdness of so many buyers on all these house hunting shows. I swear they have a rule about having to include so many freaks. There was a guy who wouldn't buy a house if his wacky, and supposed psychic, wife felt that someone died in the house, or if there was a spirit that hadn't completely crossed over. And of course you have so many who have a budget of $150,000 but want a $500,000 home. Just once I would love to see an agent tell a couple to get freaking real and kick their butts to wake up and smell the coffee and tell them that they aren't going to get granite, stainless steel, a pool, walk in closets, a 20X20 master bedroom on a $150,000 budget.

These writers must think we viewers have the collective IQ of a gnat. Look, those two dopes are running in the sand, Dope 1 keeps looking back at her love, but never attempts to let go of Dope 2's hand, or falls down, freeing herself? Come on, get freaking real. This show is like watching the Three Stooges---or a regular episode of the constantly rediculous Young and the Restless. But one good thing is going to happen with this lunacy-----Ridge's falling into the water might get some of the greasy oil out of his hair. Like Sugarbaker, I also thought that Ridge will wake up thinking he's the Sultan of Qatar.

Tonight's husband was a real piece of work. I mean, how many people base their choice of house on whether the house is located in the city of his high school rivals? There must be a statute of limitation on how long you can't live near your high school rivals. The guy is a firefighter, but he'd constantly complain about having to climb stairs in a two story house? He's a healthy, young man, but he refuses to climb stairs? Freak.

I've been to Dubai and it's a fantastic city---nothing like Las Vegas. Yes, they do have upscale stores, but it's the same like they have in New York, LA, Miami or Las Vegas. And yes, there is a ski resort inside a mall, but it's really kind of interesting to see the technology involved in doing such a thing. I never paid a dime to step into a hotel there and that included the Burj Al Arab (the one they show at the beginning of the episode that looks like a sailboat) and the Jumeirah, the place where they're filming. But if for nothing else, window shopping there is SO much fun. According to an article in SOD, B&B is planning a lot of location shoots this year. Their producer said they have huge audiences in Europe, so they want to take advantage of that. So look forward to seeing lots of goings on outside of LA. Does anyone know, this aggravating nasty voice of Ridge, has TK always had that? I always want to cough and clear my throat when I hear him speak

My sister said she read a little thing that says Cote will be coming back this next season. Bishop just hasn't caught on, and the show lost ratings, despite still being number one, so they are doing anything to get Cote back. I never cared for Bishop as I found her antics unprofessional rather than quaint. Would love it Cote would come back. But I feel they made a mistake by killing off Jen and Mike. Those have been two of my favorite characters, but for some stupid reason, they wrote them off.

It was air pollution in Chengdu. I've been to China a couple of times, and the air was absolutely awful. Like others, I get a kick when I hear couples say that they're going to a foreign country to immerse themselves and their kids to a different culture, but when they get there, the house must look and be totally built like a western house with all the appliances and such.

When you realize that the writers had a completely different script for the season finale written way back in October, they did a fantastic job putting together a very nice script to honor Mr Waite. I read an article in TV Guide that said they discussed how best to honor that lovely man, and everyone said, including Mark Harmon, that putting one of those "In Memory of" at the end of a regular episode wasn't enough. So the writers developed this script. I thought it was a very good show.

Who the heck buys a house based in if you can have an old school bus on the property? This guy from Durham is a freak.

Herb----Life is short, so why not grab a little gusto. Jennifer---I don't like LITTLE gustos.

Jennifer responding to Herb when he asked her what she did that night. "Seeing different men, letting them have their way with me." Herb nearly dropped dead with that one.

The show is Dance Moms because in all reality, the show focuses on the mothers of the girls in the dance class. Believe me, these moms make some of the harpies on the Real Housewives show look like baby bunnies--they are nasty, backstabbing, lying bitches. I live in the greater Pittsburgh area, and we see and read all kinds of stories about these mothers. So bad, that there have been rumors of one mom suing other moms because she thinks her daughter is a better dancer. Seriously, these are major, major nasty women. I cannot stand ALM as she is so abusive to the girls in her classes. And I refuse to watch that show, after seeing just one episode. But, I'm just wondering if, beyond her nasty personality, some of the distain for her is because she's not a tiny size 2 who teaches dance classes? I don't know why, but I just have the feeling that Maks is one of those millions of men who look at a overweight woman with disgust.

With such a supposed bad back, how can she dance so well? It amazes me.

Maks is a jerk. I'm no Abby fan, but his comment was off base. Why can't he just be gracious ?
