So Hoda is leaving after 17 years. In a sense I don’t blame her. She’s a little older (I’m the same age) but she has young kids. She has the money and doesn’t need to be getting up at 4 am for goodness sakes. LOL!!!! I guess Craig will take over. There is no way they could pass him over. That said, I don’t think he screams star like Hoda did. Also, his scratchy voice has always annoyed me.

OMG! I forgot Lurking. It’s basically a whole other character. LOL!!!! I remember when Laura did that after returning (a few years later) from the fog after the wedding. She was sitting next to Luke in a restaurant wearing a purple scarf and didn’t notice her. I mean she was practically sitting on his salad plate. LOL!!!!!

Once Chelsie’s is out of the house whether winning or losing she’ll totally deny she had feelings or jealous of Cam’s “interest” in the other woman. It’s so obvious she has the hits for him and it’s killing her that Cam hasn’t tried to jump her bones all season. LOL!!!! To tell you the truth I’m kind of shocked Cam hasn’t really done that to any of the HG. I think he likes the flirt stuff but isn’t interested enough to showmance any of them. That said, has he ever mentioned how he feels about them in biblical sense? LOL!!! Does he have a girl at home? Is he just not into them?

I like MJ and hope she can survive the DE but it’s gonna be tough. Chelsie is probably the best player left and would be a worthy winner. I am looking forward to Angela leaving but I was hoping it was going to be more of a blindside because I think she already knows she’s DOA. I think the only way this season could end up horribly is if Kimo were to win. I think there might be rioting on the BB streets if that was to happen. LOL!!!!!

Finally, watched Fridays episode. Um, what’s up Portia’s crawl with Nina? Have they even shared a scene together before? Portia is worse than Mrs. Kravitz. Good lord! Portia and Curtis are soooo boring. Can they leave yesterday and not return anytime soon. The casino and wardrobe is very 1980’s but at least they are trying. It’s nice to see Emma Samms back but she’s a horrible actress. In the 80’s it was acceptable. Unfortunately, it’s 2024. The Lucky and Liz stuff was nice but he can he come home already and get the balll rolling already. We’ve already seen this storyline with the returns of DZ and SB. I know it’s because of GF vacation and the hiring of nuLulu but c’mon! Finally, I’m not sure if I’m ready for Anna to have the hots for Jason. It’s too bad Valentin isn’t on the show anymore because FH and JPS have off the charts chemistry.

I actually need a side by side by side. The only new teen I know for sure is Gio and he’s not even their vortex. I’m actually confused. Hudson West shot up on height this much I know but was he written out or replaced? I really do need a screen and/or head shots of the current Danny, Aiden and Rocco. They never seem to air the same day which confuses me even more. LOL!!!!

My theory has been from the beginning that Sonny blacked out and someone else shot Cates. It’s too obvious that Sonny did it. Granted he also shot Dante point blank so it’s not like he couldn’t have done it either.

Well, it would help Kristina to at least tell Molly the truth of her timeline. She can’t even do that. Of course, Molly would think Alexis is covering for Kristina when neither of them will tell Molly the truth about anything, I’m in Molly’s camp on this. I also like seeing KV interacting with NLG & KM. I especially like when rips Kristina (and, Sonny) a new one when she reams them out. She is so good. Also, are they chem testing KV and EH? They share more scenes than Molly & TJ. I agree the writing is horrible but some of the acting saves it. Enjoyed MB, RH and MW today. Lots of tension with Ava trying to break it up with some jokes. LOL!!!!

Kelly was great back in the day when she was poor. Unfortunately, all of that has withered away. They only do the show live Monday thru Wednesday. It’s crazy. She (and, Mark) are making millions and millions of dollars and they can’t even do the show live on Thursday. Of course, they do have time to fly to Ann Arbor every weekend for the 3-4 days. I know most parents visit their kids at college maybe once or twice at college for the semester but not every frickin weekend. It’s great that they are close but it’s like they want to experience college with him. Lola is living abroad trying to be a singer but I don’t think she actually has a job (that I know of) because she’s spent all summer with them which they love from the pictures I’ve seen. It’s rich people problems and I’m sure a lot of people would love to do it too but it just galls me (jealous anyone) that they can’t even do 4 live shows. Heck! Even Hoda and Jenna do that. I will say I think Mark has been a huge improvement over Ryan though so that’s a plus (a small plus). All that said, I don’t know if the 3 day live schedule + two taped shows is a budget thing for LIVE and/or Disney or just a contractual thing set up by Kelly & Mark. Either way, I usually delete the Thursday and Friday shows from jump. Rant over.

The show was a bit off (for me) from jump. The new set, the new individual boxes for the contestants and where Ryan stood during the bonus round. Not horrible but just way off for me. I’ve been watching since the Chuck Woolery days so I might be a hard sell for this new host. Also, Pat always had cue cards. Where is Pat getting his puzzle cues? Is memorizing them, is there a flat monitor where he is standing or is something off stage. Even on Idol he’s had cards. Now, he’s all hands & it’s all I was looking at. LOL!!! Maybe, I’ve aged out of the show at 60. LOL!!!!

I guess MJ hasn’t noticed that Angela and Leah are together 24/7 in the kitchen and elsewhere. It’s a bad read from MJ. Personally, I just want Angela gone because I’m so tired of her making every eviction about her. They aren’t worried about Angela. I assume whomever Angela sat next to in the Finals she wouldn’t get many votes. Poor Quinn. That said, he has been living on borrowed time but his game has been a disaster from Day 1. Poor thing. LOL!!!!

Marshmallow time. I haven’t had that since I was a kid. I also never liked to burn them black. That was so gross to me. Anyhoo! The only drama still going on is Will MJ use the POV and if so who will Chelsie’s replacement be?

The Today Show in turning into ESPN with their constant talk about football in their A block. You would think they are hosting the Super Bowl. Nope! That would be CBS. It’s not to say that I'm not a football fan (Philadelphia Eagles) but last year and this past week it’s so OTT. I know NBC airs the Sunday game but I like news in my first half hour. I was watching the US Open over the weekend and saw (I believe) Savannah and Jenna siting together. I also saw Al and his wife sitting in the Presidents box. Rich people problems. LOL!!!! I’m sure Hoda will be doing the passive aggressive no one asked me to go shtick.

I think that she thinks it makes her look young(er). Sister is hanging on for dear life. She’s pretty and in great shape the clothes she wears (or not wears) are so obnoxious.

I actually wish the season was longer. I’m not ready for MDL to end so soon. Random thoughts. Altman seems to work very hard on his deals. I like his brother even more and I appreciate that he doesn’t want to do the show or need it full time. Flagg was looking ragged by the end of the episode. When he was out with his assistant discussing the video he was looking like he was on deaths door. I then forgives it was because he didn’t have makeup on which might be worse. Tracy is very pretty but trying wayyyyy too hard to be 39 instead of 49. Granted she’s got the body for it but it’s a bit much. I will say her daughters seem very normal and they never glam up for the show. They look like normal teens but with a rich parent living in California. The house with the very tall door really is impressive. The inside while it’s OTT big it is actually kind of normal looking inside. I’ll be curious to see/hear if someone bought it. Finally, the plastic surgeon guy is creepy. Super rich but creepy.

I’m pretty sure Tucker will win either POV or AI Arena. The odds are just in his favor. Of course, if he doesn’t they really should vote him out. He’s fun tv but it’s a game and if you have a chance you’d be dumb not to do so. I wonder if Quinn will try to win or wins accidentally if he will use POV on Tucker as a return of favor?!?! Nah!

If JMW didn’t just have a baby I would swear she’s pregnant again if they’re hiding her in a cage. LOL!!!! I agree the Luna being bad doesn’t make sense due to the whole Zende, RJ, Poppy and her mints storyline. Did she bump her head recently? LOL!!!! Maybe, she ran into Brad Bell’s office and said, I can’t take the RJ character or actors face another day. Give me something crazy to do. So who finds Steffy’s phone first? Bill or Luna? How long till Finn grieves (a minutes) that Steffy left him and has couch sex with Liam? Will everyone think Hope has done something to Steffy and she’s thrown in jail! WillThomas return? Will everyone realize that Rebecca Budig is too young looking to play Taylor? LOL!!!!!! See y’all on Monday!

Just finished watching the week. I was surprised they even wrote Sam in these scenes even if KM was playing them. I think LK had 2 throwaway lines of little consequence. Of course, it would look weird if Sam wasn’t there but it also didn’t really call for a replacement. Unless, it’s for longer than we know. I thought the gravesite scenes were good. Mansi and Vaganos were really going for it and giving it their all. I know they are bff’s so I’m sure they enjoyed it. It’s great to Rick Hearst back. Oddly enough, the only person he’s worked with before was NLG at either graveside or at Curtis and Portia’s house. He’s a pro and he did well with Nununu Molly. Hopefully, he gets to interact with Sonny and others. I’m not sure if this is a one off or he’s doing a long arc. I also liked the earlier Trina & Joss stuff at the gallery. It was nice to see Trina give Joss some sh*t. LOL!!!!! It’s good to see JJ again. Hopefully, he’s not held captive too long. I hate when they bring characters back and they are held captive when we just want them home in Port Charles. It’s such a dumb plot that’s been played to death. Finally, I guess nuLulu is returning sooner rather than later. Will we be told of the casting beforehand or will she randomly come on screen like Lindsay Kerman did at the church. Who could it be? A name actress or a newbie?

I’d wish they’d all stop talking like they are British or whatever. What are you? 12?! Quit it.

I think most are sleeping on Joseph. If he sticks with Tucker and Tucker continues to win comps Joseph may go far. Although, he supposedly wants to go to the end with Tucker. Dumb move. Cody already tried that and it didn’t work out too good for him. LOL!!!!

And, Kimo is constantly using his middle finger to push up his glasses. It’s driving me insane. LOL!!!! I am still confused who her target is.

Now, they’re both eating noodles. Gross!

Of all times for nosey Katie to not come barging in the front door unannounced. Good lord! I think Don Diamont didn’t even want to the kissing scene. He didn’t even open his mouth. LOL!!!!

At first, I thought Molly was zooming in on Kristina’s pregnant stomach as in a melancholy way but then realized her legal eye is seeing something else. I wonder if she says anything to Kristina right then and there or keeps it to herself? I guess I’ll have to tune in tomorrow to find out.

Angela will happily roll to the end with Tucker. He can win the comps. Although, if they don’t make it to the end I see one of them going out pre jury and the other one making jury. I’m just not sure which one it will be.
