I will say that casting did a total 180 of casting black people from last year to back again to their normal amo. However anyone felt about The Cookout good or bad at least there was more than 2 black people. Of course, it was lucky if they had one in general. It’s so obvious the girls girls didn’t like Taylor from jump. Heck! I don’t even think Taylor spoke and they hated her. It’s so crazy that even if they don’t like her that they would at least fake it after watching last season. I mean are they that dumb?!?! Don’t answer that. Once again it will probably be best for Taylor to get out of the house while she can. I think a lot of the hate is gonna be a total shock to her until she gets the 411. I can only imagine Julie trying to dance around this interview. With casting doing their total 180 they stopped a potential blob alliance to a blob alliance of mean girls. Ugh! I don’t know how you fix it.

I do like when characters always tell Ridge that he just bounces between Brooke & Taylor without a care. He always denies it but obviously it’s true. I doubt Taylor would slum down to the likes of Deacon (and, Brooke leftover) but I can see her with Jack thus his sudden return. They have to hook her up with someone and unfortunately or fortunately Matthew Atkinson plays her son. Time will tell. I thought she was going to start hurling the fruit she dropped when Ridge told her he was returning to Brooke. He would have deserved it.

So nobody likes Taylor or Michael. I wonder why? BB is back to normal after last years Cookout Alliance. Hopefully, Taylor can become HOH & the others will have to kiss her a**.

I like Rob but I haven’t seen him in awhile. Today it was released that he’s going to through a divorce that apparently he didn’t want. I guess he wanted family time….thus him not being on the air much or if at all. https://pagesix.com/2022/07/07/gma-meteorologist-rob-marcianos-wife-eryn-files-for-divorce/?_ga=2.62335080.518866729.1657138033-2077570569.1480906922

It even creepier when I look at Matthew’s Instagram account and he’s hanging out with her. LOL!!!! Of course, he also hangs out with Kimberlin Brown but that’s just Sheila being Shelia. LOL!!!! I do agree the Taylor & Thomas scenes are weird. He needs a new romance (less the creepy stuff) but I haven’t heard of any casting and there isn’t anyone on the canvas for Thomas to hook up with currently. Once again, it’s only a half show and Brad Bell can only write two storylines at a time which don’t involve the names Liam & Hope. LO!L!!!!

Not a bad first episode with a good twist at the end. That said, the guys are going dread having to work with Azah. I thought it was a fluke on BB but alas it was not. I’ve always Tyson (he’s not my cup of tea) but he’s a great competitor. I don’t know anyone from Love Island so they can all leave accordingly.

Oop! Wrong thread.

Thanks. Now, I see it much better. I guess if all the houses are being rented by “one” group I could see the benefit of the connecting catwalks.

That said, a lot of them might be free to jump on the Netflix train. Hopefully, Steve Gold turns up somewhere. I like him. I’m assuming the LA version is still good to go……I think.

Bad News: https://www.thewrap.com/million-dollar-listing-new-york-cancelled-season-10/ I actually liked this show, too. Less Frederick who I’m sure will claim he is the reason for this. Ugh!

Do these beach homes have an interlocking deck(s)? Every time they show a drone shot it looks like they are connected by the decks with a walkway. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If they do I don’t know if I like them as a renter. Not that I would rent them but you get my point. LOL!!!!

Devon & his tattoos are a turnoff. I don’t or care for Devon at all. Although, I did like him during his Dru & Neil years.

Cast photos don’t tell who the hot studs is/are. Some of the woman are very attractive though. Who is the inevitable showmance for the summer? One more day.

I will say Diane is easily bating Phyllis but Phyllis is falling for it & looks like a psycho in the process. I’m not sure where Phyllis goes from here. She’s gonna be (more) on the outside looking in. I agree matching Michele Stanford’s hair to the orange dress wasn’t a wise choice. Noah & Allie are cute & Zzzzzzzzz! I don’t care Tessa’s throat issues because I have my own issues to deal with. LOL!!! and, finally there is Jack. Peter Bergman has really been neutered in the role of Jack. I hadn’t realized that all those of Jack and Victor feuding that Jack doesn’t have much to do. Heck! I don’t even think Jack has an office set anymore. While he’s been with woman over the years he’s never had the big swooping romance. I think his longest romantic partner has been Phyllis and they never screamed romance to me. Peter Bergman is now 69 so I think his time has passed but he’s still good looking, in shape and could find a nice lady not named Nikki, Phyllis or Diane. Of course, maybe Jack likes being the nervous Nellie.

The wall of cabinet doors won? You’ve got to be kidding me! It was ugly as was the paint color. I think the father & son bedroom was miles ahead better than theirs. The judging this season has been horrible.

Probably just showing up on Jacks front porch looking for help and then having to explain that there son has been alive all along and she never told him. That said, that’s entirely Brad Bell’s fault because he seemingly wrote Ted King out. Anyway, I hope Li gets her ducks in a row and calls Sgt. Baker to tell him (anonymously) where Sheila can be found and then move Finn to another location. Then Sheila will be saying Finn’s alive and everyone will think Sheila is even more crazy than she already is. At least, that’s my bible and storyline.

Robert Newman first aired on February 9th. Which has only been 5 months in the role. I believe he signed a one year contract to see how it went. Although, the show wanted him to sign a two or three year contract from the beginning. I’m assuming the show has plenty more storyline for Ashland & Robert Newman. I agree with an earlier post that I’m assuming Ashland will come back to Genoa City full throttle and not apologize for anything and be who he really is. In theory, he could hookup with Diane or at least make Diane have second thoughts about Jack for the short or long term. There’s always Phyllis but I think even she thought he was a creep from the beginning. I’m curious to see what the show plans For Ashland. Chelsea? He’s 64 and she’s 40. I guess that’s doable. LOL!!!!

With all the spoilers in the world I am absolutely shocked that nothing has leaked. The White House might want to call BB for their secret. Everything appears to be on triple lockdown. Unless, the spoiler world was paid off I’m amazed that a friend of a friend of a spoiler hasn’t gotten the receipts. They really should hand in their spoiler cards. This is a disgrace.

I will say I was surprised by Victoria’s take down of Ashland. I thought yesterday was just a red herring with the hotel card key but she really was ready to bolt and leave him high and dry. That said, I thought she had put the money in the joint account. I guess I was reading the iPad incorrectly. I do think Victoria is too entitled but it’s not like they could have kept her in NYC indefinitely. I’m curious how this plays out for Ashland. I guess he follows her but who is going to give him the time of day? Diane? Unless, Robert Newman’s contract is up and he’s leaving. They had a hard time agreeing to the one year deal and I know he didn’t want to move to California full time anyway. All in all, I thought it was nicely played out but in the end she is still running home unless she’s playing the family, too?!?!

I like the early strategy talks & the competition’s. Although, a lot of them are strength based and men usually win thus shaping the season. Frenchy not withstanding. LOL!!! I don’t like blob alliances & I didn’t care for The Cookout but understood their goal. I’m sure they want another dominate alliance so I’m curious to see what twist will prevent or encourage it. Now, since the show is basically going live from jump we’ll get to see any potential showmances right away. Whether we like it or not. I might watch some of the feeds since after Wednesday there won’t be a new show till Sunday. A lot can happen in that time so I’d like to have some idea what’s going on. Let’s bring on the crazy and the hot people for summer.

They’ll definitely be off the fourth and Friday’s are already pre taped. I doubt they’d come back for 3 shows, if that. Also, Kelly’s new show starts next week and I’m sure she’ll be plugging it somewhere unless all her friends the Andy and the Jimmy are off, too. I am curious if her plugging will have been done in advance. I won’t be watching her new show. Her and Mark’s production company Milojo has a horrible track record and it’s mostly reality tv shows. I’m sure they are paid big money for their ideas but they put out horrible products. Even their All My Children (Pine Valley) reboot didn’t get a green light.

Good point of the arrivals of Sasha & Willow. Nell was wrapping up and they some new young woman. I agree that once Willow got sucked into the Corinthos vortex & she became very, very meek. At least, when it was just her & Chase she was more tolerable. That said, my dvr didn’t tape todays show because it thought it was a rerun. Ugh! Now, I have to watch it on the ABC app & you can’t forward through the commercials.

I could only afford (at most) $300,000 for a house. I’m looking to downsize my house and move soon so I die a little inside when I see someone (or as the wife said, dual income) can afford a 1.2 million home. Yes. I know the grass isn’t always greener on the other side but I’d be willing to find out. LOL!!. I liked the home they picked because I too want one floor living. It had an awesome space above the garage which was basically another house. I knew they were going to pick it since it was a new build. I’m sure the 3 bedroom house will be fine even when the girls get older and do want their own rooms. All in all, not a bad episode. The wife was a little rough but not totally horrible.

I have always thought the actresses who play Willow and Sasha are weak actresses. Although, I thought Sofia Mattson did a good job during the death of Liam. That said, she makes a horrible drug addict. Between her acting and horrible writing I’m so done with her. Katelyn MacMullen as Willow has always been too boring of a character for me and also not the best actress. Obviously, FV likes them since they are still on the show. I think since they basically came on at the same time it was just more noticeable.

I had seen recent pictures of TK and other cast members when they were Monte Carlo (I think) and, he was dressed similarly there and looked great. He was tan, fit and wearing neutral colors. It really suits him. It helps if you’re good looking, too. LOL!!!! I think TK has lost a little weight. I don’t think he was ever heavy but he looks more lean and has always had those pecs. Somehow everything has just come together for him at age 56.
