KerleyQ

I just rewatched. I was a little off in my initial impression of the results, but it's still a little shady. TJ clearly says that they have to transfer ropes at the same time as their partner. However, Johnny is on rope 3 and already moved at least partially down when Nany is still death gripping on to rope 2. Also, the rewatch gave me another "shut the hell up, Nany!" moment. When they're getting ready to step out there and she says how they fought their way back and now if they do well, they'll be in the final "and I think we deserve that." Seriously. Shut up.

I thought Bananas fell on the second? I thought that the couples had to move on to each rope together (until one of them fell), so I didn't see how he could have been on the 3rd when Nany was still death gripping onto the first. Like I said, the whole thing was confusing.

I'm sure he knows. He's probably already had his goons order up a lovely baby gift to be delivered to the Q mansion. Is there somewhere I can place money on "Morgan tries to join mob war, shoots self in foot"? Because I'm feeling lucky.

I wanted to hug Sarah when she said Bananas and Nany. And Johnny's pleading and then the talking head about how callous Sarah was? Bitch please. You flat out told Sarah that getting rid of the strongest competitors was the way to ensure a win. She took a page right from your book. Jordan, however, is a dumbass. Now you're BFF's with Bananas and so indignant at the thought of sending him in? Shut the hell up. Do you want to win or do you want to sit there in second or third place and slap Johnny on the back while he takes home another first? Dumbass. I think I might officially hate Nany more than Johnny now. That "sucks to suck" while Wes was laid out on the ground and nobody knew if he had a head or neck injury? What a fucking bitch. As Sarah pointed out numerous times last night, this is a game. Are you that caught up in the game (and the complete gall Wes had to dare to send your ass into an elimination) that you would seriously celebrate someone being potentially seriously injured? Head and neck injuries are no joke. And when even "I hate quitters" TJ is saying "maybe you should pack it in, it's not worth it," then maybe something might really be wrong with the guy? Seriously, fuck off, Nany. During the show, Bananas tweeted (and Nany dutifully retweeted) that Wes was never hurt and it was just some strategy. OK, two things - first, and you know this how? Second, even if that did turn out to be true, you had zero way of knowing that at the time, and Nany clearly thought he was hurt when she was celebrating. So, again, fuck off. After they won the dome, and Leroy was saying how great his partner is and thanking her, I was waiting for a pause and then "but, seriously, could you dial down the crazy?" I totally did not get the rules of the whole rope challenge or how they determined who was in what place. It seemed like Bananas and Nany got credit for how far Nany got on her own after he fell, but Leroy and Nia didn't get any credit for Leroy actually getting farther than anyone else, because Nia fell early. Of course, I wonder if the rules/scoring were intentionally vague to allow them wiggle room to declare whatever outcome they wanted.

Count me in as wondering if they were going to go in a Brooke/Wyatt direction today. There was just something weird about their scenes today. It would definitely be no Quinn/Liam (yes, I still want to see it).

I can just see Sonny owning Boardwalk, one of the others lands on Park Place, and they're all afraid to buy it, because they know it will just result in thrown bar ware.

Passed out drunk in an alley somewhere.

I still can't stand Brad and find it appalling that he is the best Lucas can do. There has to be some hot, decent gay guy somewhere in the general PC vicinity.

Yeah. I'd never send one either, but anything I text that is even remotely "off limits" to certain people, I double check before hitting send to make sure I'm sending it to the person I meant to send it to. If it was me naked, God knows how beyond paranoid I'd be before hitting send. Also, I'm a little squicked out that he was multi-tasking between sexting his wife and chatting with his sisters. Ick.

It's juvenile, but I want to see Aly and Ivy move out...right after they hide some really stinky fish and rotting eggs all over the house. Maybe ask Pam to help them wrangle up a skunk and let it loose in Rick's bedroom. This is the big major story line they've been dying to do for Brooke? Really?? That's pathetic.

My sympathy for Spinelli would take the form of watching the beatdown on repeat with some good chocolate and laughing my ass off. Do I need to go check out Ron's Twitter feed to find out why Kiki is so totally over Sonny trying to kill her mother that she's throwing her full support behind him raising her baby sister?

I have no real affection for Connie or anything, but I think I'd still be pissed if Olivia's baby saves the woman who killed Olivia's cousin. God I love Michael. I rewound him telling the cops to arrest Carly like 10 times. For a minute there, I thought that scene might cure my 3 weeks and counting death flu. And then saying he'd call her AJ? Damn I'm going to hate when Michael eventually forgives those two pieces of shit. Oh, and Avery calming down as soon as she went from Kiki's arms to Michael's? Perfection. And Monkey Fist...errr...Morgan could not be any more obnoxious in his desperation to be Sonny's favorite. You do remember that this baby came to be because Daddy dearest fucked your girlfriend in a crypt, right, idiot? And what does it say about Spinelli that, in a sea of shitty characters, he's the one I most need off my screen immediately? That close up of him at the end saying it's not the end of him and Maxie? Make it stop. Can Fluke please find out that Spinelli has been helping dig into his past and off him to keep everyone from finding out anything further? Please? I mean, if I have to watch this Fluke crap, at least let him do one good thing for humanity.

Agree on Bella brother. God he's an ass. And it's not like Nikki saved the picture, had time to think about it, and then went looking for the cousins to show them. They were all sitting right there when the text came in. It was one of those instant "holy crap, is this really happening, you guys??" kind of reactions. I'd likely do the same damn thing. And, yes, I was dying for Nikki to be like "so, would you have preferred me to just try to break up your relationship instead? Because that's not crossing a line but this is?" Brie's retaliation was ridiculous too. Like Nikki said, it would have been one thing if she had shared that with the cousins (or some other limited circle of people they're close to), but making something really personal completely public, where there's no chance of just deleting it and having it only be a memory, was too much. It wasn't a naked picture or anything, but it was clearly something personal that Nikki didn't want to share with the world. So, my 12 year old is a WWE fanatic, which leads to him watching this, too (which is how I ended up watching it). When Paige was talking about not doing relationships and ending up a crazy cat lady, he said "hey, Paige, look at Nattie, you can still end up a crazy cat lady if you get married." And, seriously, she's talking to an agent to get her cats work? Did she inherit every single ounce of famewhore in the Hart family? Although why her mother thought that getting one of the cats completely shaved, with a full head of hair and tail, was a great idea is beyond me. There must be some woman out there equally desperate who can take one for the team and sleep with Rosa. Because if she doesn't get laid soon, she's going to start humping someone's leg when they tell her her shoes are nice or something. (If she even needs that much encouragement.) Paige's friend with benefits ended up being quite a douche. I kind of felt bad for him in the first hour, but in the second hour? Lord. But, seriously, Paige, there is a happy medium between not getting into a relationship and moving in together after one month. Maybe get some therapy beyond Rosa and Alicia comforting you when you get upset? I did laugh, though, at "you made these two cry. I'm not physically capable of crying, but you made these two cry!"

That's all that would make sense to me, in terms of an appearance by her - her appearing in a dream (to either Nik or Spencer) during Spencer's medical crisis. Despite what Tyler says, she's not a character who is needed on the canvas now. But it would make sense for Spencer and/or Nik to feel an even larger need for some connection to her while Spencer is in danger like this. I still never want to see her face, but I could accept dream/ghostly vision.

I think they toyed with the idea of him being Sonny's kid for a while back there. When we had Sonny being so over the top shitty towards him, it seemed like they were setting it up for one of those "I hate you...oh, shit, you're my kid!" reveals.

Ava just as willingly engaged in unprotected sex.

I do not get his obsession with Courtney. Yes, she's Spencer's mother. But, does he not get that the Nik/Courtney relationship was really one of the shittiest things his character had done up to that point? They were never this great love story.

Coming in a few weeks - Jake buys Liz a bunny.

See, Sonny, this thing you're doing right now, where you're encouraging one of your kids to kidnap another one of your kids, because you're pissed off that you didn't win, and now you need to throw a temper tantrum? That just might have a tiny little bit to do with why you were deemed an unfit parent. I'm just saying... And, yeah, the island. Michael will never figure out that you sent the baby to be hidden exactly where you send anyone you want to hide from the law. Solid plan.

Didn't the booze soaking happen right after their ONS? Because she didn't want Tony to find out?

I hope you're right. I'd add in things like Carly whining that Michael would have the baby raised by nannies to the list of "are you fucking kidding me??" bullshit these two have spewed. Not only did it ignore that Carly had nannies raise her kids, but it didn't take long before we saw a scene of Carly handing Avery off to the nanny.

You take that back!!

I so want the Judge to throw his ass in jail if he doesn't produce her immediately. I won't even dignify the Luke/Scottie/Franco/Nina crap. Lord. I'm beyond embarrassed that I watch this shit.

That's what I was wanting to see Leroy point out - if you want a clear path to win, then take out the guy who wins like every single season. I really think Sarah could have been talked into sending in Bananas instead of Leroy. She wants to win. She said she can't be "nice" if she wants to win. And she noted Johnny's lack of loyalty to Leroy. Yeah, Sarah could have possibly come back at him with "but you've already taken Johnny out once, so you might be the bigger threat this season," but at least try, dude.

She slept with Julian on NYE, right? With the way they date pregnancies, that would actually put her now at just over 2 1/2 months. If it is part of the lie, it just highlights how bad the lie is. At this point, Julian should absolutely still believe there is a very real chance he's the father. He hasn't been involved in a pregnancy really before, but just a minor amount of research, or, say, talking to the woman he's involved with who has had 3 kids, would tell him that, at this point in the pregnancy, the aging of the pregnancy is largely an estimate, based on information self-reported by the mother to be.
