Jordan and Ian acting like old pals and sharing a room at the NoTell Motel. What the what? If Michael considers himself Phyllis' good friend, I can't see him agreeing to be Sharon's defense attorney. Nick didn't think that through. Chance having to admit to Daniel the murder charges against him were a mistake and had been dropped. Ehhh. Needed more groveling IMO. Claire sure was wearing a lot of eye makeup today. Was it for Kyle? He probably only looks in her eyes to gaze upon his own reflection. I'd love to know how much bail Sharon had to pay get released from jail. She's wealthy and loony enough to be considered a flight risk. It'd be great if Ian could provide a quick summary of why he's pursuing revenge against Sharon. This feels like a strange retcon. Ditto comments upthread: nah, Diane, don't fall for it. You better have Jabot's attorneys dig into Victor's transfer of Glissade for a poison pill. He can never be trusted. Oh FFS, Daniel, stay away from Sharon! You keep making things worse!

Now there's certainly a visual. 😝 While I'm not enthused by the return of show-eating Jordan, I hope she and Ian drag GWD Victor though all nine circles of hell. Twice for good measure. Yes. For some reason the writers are doing this thing where they're making it sound like being the CEO = owning the company. Audra, Lily, and now Diane have all been saying they "own" companies they merely run/have run as CEOs. In GC the only people for whom the CEO = owner thing works are Victor, Jack, and Devon. Sorta Jill too until she stabbed her son in the back and sold Chancellor to the GWD. And now to bring the pedantry on this beautiful morning, Merriam-Webster has my back: The link to "bravo" goes here.

Hey, it's Dr. Elena! Yay! While Sharon was spilling her guts to Nick, he looked to me like he was trying to remember if he'd left the stove on. Jack: Victor Newman can never hurt you again, Kyle. Joi: weeeellll, it's only Monday. Let's not get hasty with the promises, Jackie. At least Nick decided to do the right thing by calling Chance. Too bad he and Sharon forgot Faith is still in GC and could walk into Sharon's house at any time. I like Elena's hair now without the blonde highlights she used to have. And of course Mariah also showed up at Sharon's place. I thought they should've gotten Noah on video call so he too could join the discussion about Sharon's mental crisis. Claire is treading a fine line between a loyal Newman and supporting her Abbott boyfriend. She better hope Kyle the risk is worth it. FFS, Kyle, there's no problem with your parents. Your widdle fee-fees hurt because you were outsmarted from all sides on your Glissade play. Sharon was looking quite casual chic in her Going to Jail outfit. Brava.

He wasn't a faculty member though. It's possible he'd never worked at Hudson before becoming its president. At his level the guy would've been heavily vetted when he was hired. He was probaby very careful about everything he said and did since it could also impact any future positions. IMO it was unlikely he'd suddenly turned into a criminal. Yet Riley and Shaw were almost treating him like a skel.

^^^I gotta do a better job of paying attention to the characters' names. The only one that stuck with me was Ainsley's boyfriend.

I'm watching this despite the disappointment of Taylor Sheridan's final season of Yellowstone. Mainly here for BBT though Jon Hamm is a draw too. BBT's opening dialogue had Sheridan's usual shtick all over it. Nobody delivers soliloquys like that IRL. Jon Hamm's Texas accent is interesting. Dakota Loving. Sure, that's a Texas name. Surprised Sheridan didn't name him Montana. The actress playing BBT's character's daughter was not passing for 17. Not unless she's supposed to be a 17-year old who's been, as they say in Texas, rode hard and put up wet. The teen daughter should've known better. Dakota had too many other options who weren't ever going to tell him no. WTAF?! I doubt anyone could survive such an explosion but I hope those two actors aren't gone already because their characters got killed at the end of the first episode. I was looking forward to seeing them.

Cold Open: Dana again. Sigh. Alien vs. Predator wins the week. Sarah as Gaetz. He looked like a Batman villain. Alec Baldwin as RFK Jr. Didn't see that coming. <shudder> Easy Jake Paul jab. No pun intended. Opening Monologue: Okay, this time I knew who the host was and was somewhat familiar with her work--at least on the Top 40 charts. So brat means unabashedly being "that bitch"? Charli handled her monologue well with not much detectable nervousness. Didn't care for the baby shower sketch as a rehash of the previous bridal shower sketch but I was impressed with Charli's American accent. Charli singing Chappell Roan's song off-key, OMG. I do like how SNL is having the Taylor Swift acolytes take tongue-in-cheek shots at each other. Wicked auditions. I think Adele would've been amazing as Glinda. Bowen's Fran Leibowitz had a tad too much Woody Allen. Not a great Bernie Sanders. Maybe should've had JAJ or Dana take that one. Ooh, very bad Al Pacino. That should've been Bowen. Bad Bunny still refusing to speak English. Charli was killing it in the cake sketch. Was her character's turkey cake supposed to be giving birth? An Andy Samberg song. Was that Donna Kelce getting arrested, lol? (No, SNL wouldn't dare.) I think I'd already seen most of the references for that song on reddit. AITA and similar subreddits. Banger Boyz, meh. Con.Dums. Tittybaby Airport. Charli's vocal fry. Please tell me the guys on the IRL podcast aren't this dumb. Charli xcx's 360 is solid bop, and yay, she wasn't lip syncing. Just a bit of autotune. Weekend Update: Gaetz was created when Frankenstein raped Dracula. Dang, Colin was bringing the flames! I didn't understand the CPAP machine joke. Drakkar Noir is still a thing? Ugh, I remember if you walked by it in the drugstore the smell would cling to your clothes like forever. Hmm, at least 6 million years before a female POTUS. Let me put that on my calendar. Not gonna plug chokemejeffgoldblum.com into my browser but I might like to see some screenshots. Peanut the Squirrel's widow, Hazel. Sarah's costume was fabulous. Strip mall acting class. Loved Marcello's vibe. WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?!!? Okay, there was a whole lot more autotune in Charli's second performance. Wow. It Girl Thanksgiving. Kenan does a perfect Law Roach but most of the rest of the sketch went right by me. Made out with Shrek. Shrek was getting with the whole theatre audience apparently. He nasty. Looks like a reservation at Domino's just opened up. Have fun, Pablo! Charli xcx did a excellent job. She was totally game and brought tonnes of energy. 10/10 for her American accent. She can host again and again.

They were questioning the president of Hudson U as a murder suspect? Seriously? The guy acted like he couldn't believe it either. Riley and Shaw got to interrogate a suspect instead of Brady. And of course there was a motion to dismiss the perp's sweatshirt as evidence due to lack of a search warrant. And of course a key witness had a problematic student visa issue. Who was the woman Baxter was putting the touch on to find out what Judge Bennett's problem was with testifying? Is she a recurring character? It wasn't my impression the judge was still using drugs. I thought the issue was that if she testified the defense would find out she wasn't at a spa when her husband was killed, she was in rehab. Then all the rulings in the cases she presided over would be contested, possibly putting dangerous felons back on the street. My favorite comment from reddit about this episode:

That's why I record it. I have to rewind a lot to catch the throwaway lines. Also, I think Quinta is using too many inside references to Philadelphia places and things. In addition, I think the CC is done by a service which isn't 100% familiar with either American English or AAVE.

Ava called Manny, "The Manny Dalorian." Yeah, Manny's definitely got the Mandalorian swagger. Ava is that Gworl. (The CC on my TV capitalized "gworl." Not sure why.) Oh no, the little boy ate Peter Rabbit! But come on, everyone knows rabbit is delicious. Tastes like chicken. 😉 Jacob ate a smoothie from the trash can. He pulled a George Costanza. Ava was going to charge people $1000 just to talk to her. I ain't mad at her.

Also missing was Nikki's BFF, Lauren, and Victor's consigliere, Michael. Hey Nikki, remember when you had to go to rehab and you begged Lauren to run Newman Media while you were gone? In addition to her job as owner of Fenmores? Hey Victor, remember the last time Michael kept your felonious hiney from going to jail? You two are a perfect pair of ingrates.

ICAM. They're well-matched physically, both tall and lithe. And I think the best difference between Sally and Chelsea is that Sally won't be listening to Billy only waiting for an opening to turn the conversation toward herself.

Maybe our complaints about the clothes have paid off, lol. Y&R is bringing a costume designer on board: Mandi Line Joins ‘The Young and the Restless’ As New Costume Designer https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2024/11/mandi-line-the-young-and-the-restless-new-costume-designer from the article: Hope things look noticeably better on Monday.

Listen Sally, no drunken mercy sex. I want you and Billy to get together without any negative emotional factors. Give him time to lick his wounds first Nick, you know how erratic Sharon has been lately. If she tells you she killed Heather and caused Phyllis' car accident, denial is not the way you want to go. Hey, Diane and Jack were in cahoots to get Kyle away from Victor. Yay! Now do Glissade. How does it feel to be dismissed by Victor as mere collateral damage, Kyle? Aww, sucks to be you, huh? Claire is a ride-or-die chick. I was surprised she left the wedding reception with Kyle before she had a chance to catch the bouquet. Oh well. Holey hail, Abby's reception dress was even worse than her wedding gown. Audra caught Abby's bridal bouquet! Kind of a waste though, no? She's anti-marriage. Nick kept gawking at Sharon like, "You did all that? By yourself? Who are you????" Yep, Nick, your ex is now a criminal mastermind and tech wiz. So Abby got a wedding and Nikki got Chancellor. It's been quite a giving day for TGVN. 🙄 Sharon, before you call Chance and confess, you better consult a lawyer. And a doctor. Hallucinations and blackouts are no joke, especially while you're in jail for murder. Re the previews: looks who's back to start eating the show again. Thanks for nothing, supermax prison. 😡

Me too. Jill is the OG character right now and if they kill her off then I guess Nikki moves up to the top position. Okay. Knowing this show though, they'll figure out a way to say Victor was a character before Nikki was. Then they'll have a carefully edited anniversary show to try to gaslight the older members of the audience who know better since they've been watching Y&R for decades. TPTB might as well change the name of the show to All About Victor.
