Li all dirty in a alley. I didn’t see that one coming. I guess $Bill has found his new woman. I’m not mad at it. That said, I’m not sure if Li & Bill ever met beforehand. He was hardly ever on & she was just in the Forrester vortex. Once Li gets a shower she’ll be already to go. It’s the only thing going for this show. Looking forward to the Monaco shoot. I’m a sucker for on location stuff.

I’m glad James is gone. He annoys me to no end. He annoyed me on TAR and he annoyed me here. I didn’t mind Tasha on Survivor but she was sort of a non entity here because she was barely shown. Like Dom but he was being an old fart with his partner. He knows what a reality show is by now and he’s the oldest contestant there I’m guessing. I don’t any of the Love Island people so I don’t care if they stay or go. That said, Dom almost blew it with the pipe leak. Didn’t he realize the water was getting lower and he was no longer drowning? LOL!!! The only thing I hate about this show is the editing. I can never truly tell who is either in the lead or not in the initial challenge or the elimination round. They are trying to be so edgy with the editing that you (I) can’t keep track of what’s going on. Also, tonight was the first time I noticed how old Tyson is looking. I’m older then him so I can say this but he looks tired. LOL!!!! I’ll be back next week because I like anything competition.

I thought the same thing about there-there but not with Dante. I liked him when he and Nathan worked at the police station. They were great partners and had more to do. You rarely see Dante at his desk anymore. I also forgot who nuJordan was today at the trial. I literally had to think for a moment. She is rarely on and hasn’t been paired with anyone either. She’s all wrong for the part and the writers don’t seem that interested in writing for her either.

I thought Nicholas Chavez & Avery Pohl did a great job. So much tension. Those two were great finds. Eden on the witness stand. Gag me. I’m sure she’s very nice but her acting range is limited. She’s very lucky she looked liked Laura Wright and was put in to the Sonny/Carly/Jax vortex when she was hired. Otherwise she’s a very basic soap opera actress. Josh Kelly and Dom in the steam room is typical soap studs stuff. Nothing new there but they looked good. The pecs were in tip top form. That said, I don’t buy for a second either character hung out together and were friends. This is just another case of Frank hiring one of his previous hires. I’m not saying Josh Kelly can’t act (I liked him on OLTL) but I don’t care for him here and he has no chemistry with Dom Z. Also, Dom is really being wasted with Cody and with Sam. He needs tension in his storyline and that needs to be Lulu. I personally would like JMB back but I think she’s just had her 3rd kid and might not want to do a soap so they need to hire a somewhat known (or unknown) blonde actress with great range to match Genie Francis. Unfortunately, no one comes to mind to me right now. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. LOL!!!!!

My Philly girl disappointed me with her wager. I also hate ties. There has got to be a better way. How about do-winners? I know people hate give a trophy to everyone but I hate the tie breaker.

Thanks. It didn’t even occur to me to take a nice bike ride. That’s such a good way to see the neighborhood (or any neighborhood) instead of a car. I haven’t been to Phoenix and hear how hot it always is. I’ve been to California but it was in Anaheim and it rained all week. That sucked I may add. LOL!!! I have heard that Palm Springs is really big with the Airbnb and Vrbo crowd and it’s often mention on HH, too. In theory, I guess it’s a good investment property.

The racist angel didn’t even occur to me. I thought Esme didn’t like Trina or any woman with Spence. Of course, if the show wants to go in that direction I guess they are allowed. That said, if the character of Esme intention was based on race wouldn’t the character have out right said it to herself in one of those stupid scenes where the character is always talking to themselves? Especially, this far in to the storyline. It seems so random but I guess they want fans talking which I’m doing here. LOL!!!!

Just watched a Palm Springs. I have always said if I won the lottery I’d buy a home there. Give me sunshine and a pool all year long and I’d be a happy camper. I’m not even a huge MMC person but for that area that’s the appeal of it. Also, why do parents allow their kids to have purple hair? Just because they want it doesn’t make it right. LOL!!!!! I do have one question. What exactly did the husband (who I liked) do for a living? I also liked the realtor. He looked like a fun guy. You gotta love a guy who’s a sharp dresser.

GH only shoots outside their studio at some “park” which doesn’t look like New York because of the palm trees. LOL!!! Y&R has an outdoor set but it still looks fake. B&B has the advantages of an international audience to offset the cost of shooting on location and they also are usually tied in with special events for Brad Bell and the cast. I think KKL knew someone when they were abroad and the person let them use their yacht for the Brooke & Bill shoot years ago. One of my favorites shoots was when they were in Portofino, Italy. I think almost the whole cast was on that one. This was during the Susan Flannery & Ronn Moss years. Of course, it was also the 90’s when a lot of the soaps were still doing on location stuff. Even Y&R was doing it. Somehow, B&B being a half hour show, Brad Bell as executive producer and having an international audience they are the only one who can afford it or are willing to do it. I guess if the hour shows cut back on their large casts they could in theory afford it, too. I’m assuming.

So Sheila is officially a crazy nut after giving some shot of something to shut him up. LOL!!! I’d rather watch a whole 1/2 hour of Sheila & Finn then anything else. The ratings have been going up, up, up with this storyline and Brad Bell is going to drag out for some time which isn’t a horrible thing. I would like to see Li sooner rather than later though. I’m guessing she’s plotting her next move but in theory she should call the police and not even mention who she is and give them the address where Finn is. Of course, this is a soap and that would ruin all of the fun. I think they are going to start showing some on location stuff of Monaco (where TK, KA, JMW & TN attended the annual festival) when Ridge and Taylor visit Steffy. I’m sure it will be beautiful footage because B&B has always been good with that stuff. It will be interesting to see how the Sheila, Finn & Li thing plays out. Who rescues whom? Will Sheila go back to jail……again? Will Brooke ever remember Mike Guthrie’s name?

Finn crying was actually sad. Good job done by John Finnegan. I know he’s taken a lot of grief (a lot of it deserved) but I thought he did a great job today. Finn is finally realizing and seeing that Sheila is an out of control wacko. Steffy did warn him. LOL!!!!

Julie is off her rocker. Reading her interview it’s like what the what? She’s in denial about the show, the live feeds, Paloma & Les Moonves. She can claim whatever peace, love & joy as her closing but she lives in denialville.

But technically Shawn cheated first. Granted is was devil related but cheating is still cheating. LOL!!!

RHAP mentioned this tonight but I thought I had misheard it. Because if there was sensitivity training some (if not all) missed (or skipped) the classes altogether. They probably said, there are black and white people but no Asians because we don’t do that on Big Brother. Okay?! Good. Class dismissed. Good lord!

Does the casting questionnaire ask if you are prejudiced or racist? Just asking. Also, does casting and/or production even care at this point. I guess they didn’t like the steamroll of last season and decided to hire non fans to put another stop to it. I’m willing to see how Thursday plays out and then plan accordingly. I’m not too optimistic though. I really don’t even have anyone to root for or really, really like. It’s hard to believe it’s only been a week versus this being middle of August when I’m just plain old tired. Hopefully, it will pick up and be less hateful.

That had to be one of the smallest Days weddings I’ve ever seen. I mean I know it’s Sami & Lucas (again) but that was pretty sad. Why is Johnny wearing his red devil suit? Did I miss something?! At least, choking Lucas was fun. I think Bryan Dattilo looked like he didn’t know Billy Flynn was going to go all method on him. LOL!!! Finally, Dan Feuerriegel really knows how to rock the beard doesn’t he? He was a real find. Days casting deserves an Emmy for that alone.

Allie Sunshine is boring. Then you add Sleepy Noah to the mix and you have one boring young couple. I almost didn’t recognize Faith because it’s been so long since she’s been on the show. She looked very nice with her tan but she’s been with the show for a while and they still don’t know what do with her. Y&R doesn’t know how to write for young people. In fact, they don’t even have teenagers on the show because they are clueless. Phyllis looked like a lunatic again but now in front of Kyle while Diane just goes about her day smiling at everyone. Susan Walters has the best smile which helps. I’m assuming Diane will have to do something bad sooner or later so the show can justify Phyllis’s outrage. I’m just not sure what Diane would do. Maybe, with Ashland but she already put him on notice. I guess with her new job?! I’m just not sure exactly what Diane would have to do.

I wish they’d just do a whole half hour of Sheila & Finn. Even Finn was watchable today. It’s the only thing worth watching. I’m actually surprised they’ve haven’t done it yet. I guess Brad Bell wants to stretch it out as long as possible.

Thanks.

Who are the meanest of the Mean Girls & who just mean by association? Is Paloma the meanest?

Hopefully, Taylor can somehow survive this week just to drive the others nuts. That said, it would almost be better if she was evicted to get away from these wretched people and find out they hate her because she is um, just there. So crazy! I still don’t know how the twist(s) are really going to work. The more they “explain” it the more confused I get. I think I won’t understand it fully until I see it with my own eyes on Thursday.

Sounds all perfectly logical to me. I am curious if she gets a heads up beforehand or is she is going to be totally dumbfounded when she sees her face on the memory wall. None of the girls will look at her or even look up. They’ll be checking their nails and then make a mad dash to their beds. Kind of sad.

What excuse does Daniel plan on telling Taylor for nominating her?

Oh! I thought pageant girl was just an excuse. HG don’t like pageant girls as contestants? Who knew?
