I love all three of them. I really don't understand why Tad. He's amazing and he's not out of town for six months at a time like Justin.

I thought it was pretty polite of him not to make a scene, even if it might have been incredibly stupid had he been truly choking and needed emergency help. He tried to swallow water then left the table to ralph, away from the diners. There are medics on set for the chefs, didn't someone say something about it? I'm sure he was aware of the medics and didn't want to be embarrassed on camera. Even if it was just liquid going down his windpipe it can take a while to recover, I think we've all been there.

I agree about not wanting to cook fish ahead of time (where's the crispy skin!) but I don't know why else GR would have asked that question.

I was very happy to see Gabriel leave. I haven't forgotten his repeated inability to count portions. As far as the 14 minute welly, when the salmon was burnt or whatever the problem was that time, GR asked if he had another one. He said no. For a second I thought that meant they were out of them - a recurrent problem this season with the ingredients - but they weren't. So if they are smart, they make a back up or stagger the start times. The wellingtons have to rest after the 14 minutes so I assumed they always have some going. I think I've heard language to that effect. When one is "overdone" is there another one in the oven, etc. Enough already with Kashia. I laughed when CR had to ask Andi what she said (about the chicken). Aside from being incomprehensible, it looks like she throws another tantrum next week. I couldn't quite understand what Joy said, did she nominate Kashia for elimination? Scott is such a cocky little shit. Apparently he can cook but until a couple episodes ago he was hopping around like a bird, telling everyone else what to do, and appearing to do very little actual work himself. I hope he's next even though I'm done with Kashia. Jason must be pretty solid because they don't show much of his cooking. Was there ever a reason given for nominating him for elimination? I like seeing more Andi this season. When did Minnie's accent get so posh?

Justin and Caroline

Looks like kids won't be allowed, like when Kristen and Brady tried to marry.

A big deal is being made of the wedding, and Mar wasn't invited, because it was planned in what, three days? Sami just wants to make it legal to get a great divorce settlement. Set up for life, isn't that what she and Kate said?

I found that on Soap Opera Central. I just thought her dresses were too tight.

He doesn't bother me very much other than the stupid name Chloe gave him but at least someone stopped Dan from hanging him by his ankles all the time. It was pretty rough, does he not have kids? I felt a little sorry for him the other day having to be received at the Kiriakis mansion in the formal living room with his grandparents always dressed for church.

Was KdP drunk or playing drunk? Is she always going to act like this or did she really have a few drinks after she crank called Theresa? In happier news, she seems to be backing off the accent and we found out for sure Frankie is not the father. I was going to deny defending Jen, but I think I'm going to have to defend Jen, dammit. Good for her to decide she's not going to host a dinner for an hour with a person who showed up without warning just to antagonize her. I hope Jen "thanks" her for ruining her son's graduation dinner for her and kicks her out of the house. Jen meant it when she said Paige was lovely and KdP badmouthed JJ. If my dead ex's former fiance (real life here) had picked up my framed photo of the father of my children and put it over her breasts to taunt me? omfg she showed a ton of restraint there. Can I slap Mar for asking, as a MOTHER why she should be the one to build bridges or mend fences or whatever? I thought the scene between John (bad acting aside) and Theresa was really good. Theresa gets it and John does actually care. I know people have been bored with the partying rut they're stuck in, but, as with JJ, how can they turn their lives around if they weren't bad to start with?

I love it too, glad it's still on. The sleeves are just right and it fits her tiny frame perfectly. Which makes Sami in the graphic spandex look even worse. Another Kate rock star look. I think she secretly wants to be Chrissy Hynde, another fabulous lady. Jawn needs to give up the Steve Jobs black pullovers immediately. A button down shirt would hide those old moobs. I didn't think Jen's dress was horrible but they're not giving up on the nude lipstick anytime soon.

Oh good lord I could not care less about Speidi I am so happy I forgot about them. How in the world do they consume enough money to keep a dozen families afloat. Can they possibly think it will last forever? Spencer needs a big smackdown. And dude, if you think being a thug will bring you money to live on the beach, think again. Nobody's hiring you idiots.

Yes, Dweezil was adorable. The ten year old deserves a phone if only for safety reasons! She seems like a very nice, mature kid. I might stop watching over the conspicuous consumption castles. No doubt that little girl sitting on the double sized sofa told me that having stuff isn't everything.

I'd keep Lucas because I treasure his rare scenes with Sami because they're completely honest with each other, and they are a really great example of coparenting. Too bad Kate actively destroys every relationship Lucas has ever had. I mean, it's really weird she doesn't want her son to be with ANYBODY.

Hope because she's a bad mother and annoys the hell out of me every time I see her Justin because I love him but he's never in town. Feeling sad over the hate for EJ..

I really wanted to like NuWill but he fades into the background like a beige tile backsplash.

Honestly, I've ignored the music for years now, it's always been bad. Where do you suppose they get it? Thank gawd there are no more "couples' songs" every time they have sex. That is, if you don't count the music box tune every time Jorafe were together to show how pure their love is. Puke. What irritates me most is the sudden crescendo right before commercials. I notice it more on Hulu when I have the volume up.

Abs falling into EJ's arms wasn't terrible. Actually, EJ looked more into it and Abs looked a little annoyed. I wouldn't call it epic but it happened near the end so no doubt she'll still be there tomorrow. Incredibly stupid though to be measuring a tree (?) in the dark. I assumed she'd be measuring a wall or something for that stupid arbor that they're calling a trellis. Not that you'd even need to measure a wall for an arbor. Oh, nevermind I'm overthinking. Sami, however, is epic. Love the play on words with Abs, and that we're finally let in to the plotting with Kate. The looks on her face alone after she interacts with Ejabs! Sami is way too impetuous to do the long burn on her own so thanks, Kate! JS did a good job today, you can tell whether or not he likes the storyline. I think KM is improving a bit as an actress because I do read a lot of conflicted emotions on her face. I remember last year when CM won his second Emmy he thanked the acting coaches on Days, so it sounds like they do make an effort. (Not getting into whether CM deserved his third win but it was nice of him to show up.) Um, JJ says he plays guitar so he's into the rock and roll stoner culture? lmfao There goes Eve talking behind people's backs again because I didn't get that vibe at all while she was talking, I mean flirting, with him. Jen, your 18 yr old couldn't give a shit what you did in high school. You're lucky he hangs out with you at all. JJ is such a great kid. T is amazing.

I googled KdP when I was thrown about what sounded like a Texan accent. Turns out it's KY and the way they are pushing the singing from day one, get ready.

In honor of Ciara! I'll let you decide if Ciara is the best or the worst. One of my favorite movies.

Now you owe me a keyboard! I just remembered Stephanie (Patch and Kayla) was involved too. Stephanie also dated that boring Dr. Nathan (Maggi's grandson by Melissa that boes was asking about). Melissa showed up for Christmas a few years ago, but we've only seen Sara's (?) ornament hung up every year. It would be so great to bring back as many characters as possible for the Christmas shows, they always make me tear up. And Julie only deserves to come back once a year.
