English, Caroline. Do you speak it? "Can't" doesn't necessarily mean, "I don't want to". IKR? Why was Ridge discussing it with her anyway? Maybe Brooke and Thomas need to have a fling since they've got an icky common obsession to use for pillow talk. Yep, this is the kind of storyline where TK shifts into fifth gear acting-wise.

It's my understanding that his album is "inspired by" the film and most if not all of it is new music. What I'm looking for is the music actually used in the film. Some of it was by artists other than the NWA people.

Johnny Mac's exit interview with Julie was skewered on the latest episode of The Soup. They showed a compilation of all the weird noises he was making and it was hilarious.

Begging to differ, I thought Caroline looked fine and I'd hardly call her figure pear-shaped. IMO, if anyone on the show is pear-shaped it's Maya. The thing is though, probably not many women can pull off a tight-fitting dress like that in a relatively thin white fabric. It's a very unforgiving look. At least with wedding gowns there's usually some kind of decorative business to distract the eye. (Plus Spanx.)

Yeah, she played Amanda Dillon on original recipe AMC. Amanda was legacy character and it was a fairly front burner role for quite a while. I've been surprised Y&R or B&B have never cast her. IMO she's no worse an actor than several people on both shows.

Katheryn and Jim sent them to a church-run summer camp when they were children and both were molested at the camp by a priest. I think Wyatt tried to alert Jim but Jim was too busy screwing Celine to help them. That's one reason why it's particularly heinous that Jim sent Wyatt for a scared-straight visit to prison, intending for him only to be threatened with rape.

Yes, it was one of Hanna's ex-boyfriends. Also, Candace was the product of a random one-night stand.

Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman) had a quick little segment on TMZ today. She was with her husband who apparently is on DAYS. Isn't JH's girlfriend/wife also on DAYS? The soap world is so small now. Billy Miller was on the season finale of Suits. He plays a recurring character who's the brother of one of the two male stars. He looked great.

I just can't with Steffy's hair. You'd think someone would tell JMW how ridiculous it looks. And I guess TPTB figure most people didn't start watching the show until last week and don't know any better. Don't kid yourself Wyatt. Ivy would drop you like a hot rock. Meanwhile, Aly must be spinning in her grave at the way her name keeps being taken in vain and used to justify blackmail.

Pros: Loretta Devine and Tiffany Haddish. I can take or leave David Alan Grier. Great production values in the sets. Cons: Too preachy, too political, and too heavy-handed. To me it was almost exhausting to watch this show try to hit so many topical issues in 22 minutes. IMO the show's namesake star is a self-consciously bad actor. Not every stand-up comedian with limited acting experience can carry a TV show, even with veterans like Devine and Grier in the supporting cast. I think all the characters' personalities could stand to be dialed back several notches. Some of the actors came across like they were performing on a theater stage and were trying to project to the cheap seats. This show no Black-ish but perhaps that's an unfair comparison since it's probably only intended to be a limited-run summer filler. I probably won't be watching it again.

Yeah, blackmail is the FC way but in none of those instances was anyone going to jail if they didn't agree to the deal. Ivy has taken it to the next level.

Vanessa is a bully who knows she can only pull that stuff with certain people who don't have the verbal skills she has. If someone were to try to come at her like that she'd dissolve into a flood of hysterical tears. But that behavior has been working for her so far on this show. It's like everyone's scared to confront her but knows she's trouble. That said, I'm still pulling for her.

ICAM. AB is a natural beauty, plus she can move her facial muscles. I just don't get the big deal about being the Face of Forrester and why Steffy would want that role in addition to being the president. How many fashion houses have their CEO or president also serve as the face of the line? I can't think of many. Ralph Lauren? Coco Chanel back in the day? Oh look at Wyatt hitching his wagon to Ivy's presumed star. What could possibly go wrong? He just might end up being arrested as a co-conspirator in an obstruction of justice charge.

We don't know whether any of these doofuses realize that. AFAIC it's significant potential plot hole that the writers had better deal with eventually. It's kind of like when a contemporary mystery novel's storyline can often be rendered moot by the unexplained lack of availability to a cell phone at a key plot point.

Yes but the odds of that happening are probably about the same as the average college football or basketball player getting drafted into the NFL or NBA. Meanwhile, the colleges and NCAA make millions off their performances in exchange for a largely free education. Similarly, I think by far CBS and its advertisers are getting the better end of the deal with Big Brother. Most of the BB players are never heard from again after their season is over. At one time pretty much everyone thought the world was flat. We now know how that turned out. IMO us people on the internet--even those possessing relevant education and training--might want to exercise caution trying to pin a diagnosis on Steve simply on the basis of how he acts on TV. I think there are plenty of other reasons why someone might be socially awkward, and perhaps his mother is bristling a the idea of strangers stereotyping her kid.

I figured it was either divorce papers or a copy of the prenup. She knows David's not going to divorce her as long as he has lofty political aspirations so she could be calling his bluff. Yep. But again, she has to rely on David's ambition outweighing his sense of outrage over all the evil crap she's pulled. Plus, there are too many wild cards on the loose. Jim, Jeffrey, Wyatt, Hanna, Benny, and Quincy all have campaign-ending dirt on her, and who knows what Katherine will do once she finds out Ronnie set Wyatt up to be raped.

STFU, Hanna. Apparently you want your grandchild to have the same kind of relationship with Candace that she has with you. So much for the theory that those two houses Candace bought in the first half of the season were the same ones Oscar sold. (Or said he sold.) Meanwhile, how dumb is Benny? Candace could probably tell him she bought the moon for him and he'd believe her. Good on her for looking out for him though. Seriously, David? You give a rundown of Ronnie's insane list of crimes and misdemeanors and then all you can say is, "If you don't stop..."? Weak. Look, you have fallen into a hole called the sunk cost fallacy. You need to drop kick that evil psycho bish and just accept the L. If Jeffrey finds out about Wyatt's prison rape and decides to use that as his opportunity to try to swing Wyatt his way, I'm done. Rape is about power, not sex. Don't go there, TP. "...from her home in a lower class part of Savannah..." Holey crap, was that extra little detail necessary? Would it have been any better if Jim's former mistress and his two outside children with her lived in a better part of town? Ditto the comment upthread, the guy who plays Wyatt did a good job portraying a traumatized victim. He does show real acting skills when they let him do anything other than lay around.

If Ivy absconded with Aly's body wouldn't Thorne have wondered where it was?

Or he could tell his girlfriend to get an attorney and go to the police to get ahead of whatever Ivy is or isn't going to do. It's going to look better for Steffy if she gets her corrected version of the story on record before Ivy has a chance to muddy the waters with that misleading video. Plus, it's not going to look good for Ivy to have held on to key evidence to use for blackmail. Now that Steffy has given her the Face of Forrester job who's to say Ivy isn't going to demand something else?

My memory is fuzzy on this particular plot point but I thought Ray and Mickey had spent Bunchy's settlement money. Didn't they use it to buy a house last season?

I'm still trying to stay on Team Ivy and I'm telling myself that she's working her way through the five stages of grief. Right now she's hovering between the anger and bargaining stages. Plus the way she keeps watching that video over and over seems like PTSD or something. Steffy's clearly suffering some unresolved emotions too, which she's dealing with by attaching more and more hair to her head. Not that I want to help those two lame hipsters Liam and Thomas but there are easy solutions to the problem. One would be to get Nicole to stop dancing long enough to use her hacking skills (remember that, writers?). She likely could delete the video from Ivy's phone remotely. Or they could distract Ivy (during a modeling shoot, best bet) and steal the phone. Easy peasy. Ivy's apparently not smart enough to put a password on her phone and odds are she hasn't stashed a copy of the video in the cloud either.

Audition for what? He came across as barely coherent. I guess he could try out as the understudy for Hodor on Game of Thrones. Beast mode cowboy.

I'm thinking production told him to stretch out his speech because there was too much time left in the hour and they had nothing else lined up to fill it.

OMG, that's hilarious! I can't wait to see Steffy's hair reach the floor.

Katie's hair has long been a mystery to me as I've wondered whether it was all hers or not. If those are are extensions they're very well done, I think. Wyatt kind of pudged out after Hope left so maybe he wasn't feeling up to par in the presence of some of the other guys. Not sure what Liam's issue might have been. And ugh, Carter, put a bra on those things.
