That was the best part of the episode. "The black couple wins and they serve fried chicken. But I love fried chicken." I love Leroy so much. I really can't imagine who he'd have to be paired with for me to not still root for him.

I could swear I remember reading, back when she was a regular, that she did her own hair and/or makeup.

That was my thought, too - that the final Exile battle was going to take place in the dome in front of everyone. Otherwise, they let a huge spoiler out of the bag showing the couple coming into the Dome. There is no way it was Zach and Jonna.

I'm going to need the cast to stop with the "Thor" comparisons now. If you're at all conspiracy-minded, it's hard not to look at that Dome as something they used to make sure Zach came back to go on a rampage against Wes and Leroy. But, dude cannot handle a hammer well enough to outdo a guy with one hand. You, Zach, are no Thor. Also, you're an emotionally abusive jackhole. I really, really, really do not want to see Bananas and Nany come back. Seriously, I'll even take DoucheZach back. Just not Bananas. I've never liked Sarah, going back to her Kenny boot-licking days, but I do really like her genuine enthusiasm for all of these games. It's nice to see someone having fun.

Culminating in the return of his dear mother who "somehow" wins the Fan February voting.

You'd think that, since she's clearly afraid of her sister spilling some big secret, that setting her up in the fuck pad would be a smart move. Sis is grateful to be set up in her own place, so she's less likely to blow Maya's spot, and she's somewhat under Maya's thumb, so she can keep an eye on her. Essentially turning her out to the streets when she's clearly looking for some help seems like a bad idea if you're afraid of her spilling dirt on you. Why piss her off or leave her desperate?

It's going to be Dr. O, isn't it?

I wonder how much of the Hope/Liam/Steffy back story Ivy knows. That "Liam and I are sleeping together" moment seemed kind of awkward, but then I wondered if she knew that Steffy exploited the whole "Hope wants to wait for marriage" thing, so she wants to make it clear to Steffy that wagging her open for business crotch in Liam's face isn't going to be as effective here, because Liam's already getting laid on the regular? Seriously, though, Ivy, the worst thing you can do is let someone like Steffy see that you're threatened. That's an opening to her. I was beginning to think that Maya's sister was just some mass group hallucination we'd all experienced. At least she does exist. But I have zero interest in the back story of two characters who were not remotely a part of the show or connected to anyone on the show when said back story was a thing. And, I mean, come on, doesn't Rick already know that Maya did time? What the hell else is in her relatively young background that would be a bigger deal breaker than that?

Because she's an idiot. Tomorrow is going to be an entire episode devoted to Spencer's lingering between life and death, isn't it? What's the Vegas line on whether he sings "My Way"? That preview is amazing, though. I'd like to think that whoever put that together knows what a shitshow this is. Because there is no way in the world that any sane human being put that together on any serious level.

What he needs to say, if he genuinely wants her to stop, is "even if I wasn't with Ivy, things are over with us." Because protesting that he's with Ivy is not, in Steffy's mind, a rejection, it's a challenge. How long has he known her? He knows that "I'm involved with someone else" is basically an aphrodisiac for Steffy, not a stop sign. I liked, during the "everyone but Rick" meeting with Eric, as Eric was trying to find ways to rebuff everyone's complaints about Ric's behavior, when Caroline, clearly in disbelief that they even had to debate whether Ric had lost his mind, said "oh, and there was the time he fired a gun in here!"

Yeah, I think there are a lot of people who just know what a sick fuck Ron is, so they are trying to imagine the most distasteful story lines possible and throwing them out there so that, if one of them pans out, they can say "see? I told you!"

It will forever remain a special kind of "only on GH" stupid that a baby could be taken away from her mother, because Mommy is dating a cop, and given to her father, who worked for the motherfucking mob. There's a lot we are asked to hand wave in soaps, but this one? I just can't.

Don't you remember? That was totally Julian's fault! How dare he not want to die?

I find any adult male who gets all excited about the Swimsuit Issue coming out like that to just be creepy and sad. It reminds me of the creepy ass guys who used to come into the local drug store I worked at in high school and stand at the counter, pretending to count their change, check their receipt, or whatever to keep stealing glances at the Playboys and the like that were kept behind the counter. I haven't read the books, but I have read excerpts from various blogs, and, Lord, it's awful. Really, really, dreadfully, high school English class first draft, awful. (And I may have been too hard on high school English class first drafts there...) I will never understand the Twilight fascination in the first place, so the fact that some crappy fan fiction based on it has somehow become this big deal is just mind boggling. I'm always slightly disappointed in my gender when the general female population swoons over shit like this. We have to expect better, ladies. As for the movie, I heard someone describe it as "two hours of the stuff you fast forward when watching a porn movie." This does not surprise me. They were never going to make this movie truly "dirty." They didn't want to risk the rating and damage profits.

They said that Krane had these kids stashed all over the globe, and the ones who were there early on, from the attack and all, were summoning the others, back when they were following Adam around and "hiding out" at the Davenport house. My guess is that the younger kids weren't part of the army in the attack because they still weren't fully trained and ready. I just still want to know where Douglas is. I miss him.

Lord. Ron would probably try to secure the rights to the theme song from the SNL "It's Pat" skits.

I'm waiting to see Eric have a scene with Ivy and Ally where they tell him how things have been. How is he going to justify Rick's shit to them the same way he was with Ridge and Caroline? Is he really going to be cool with Rick and Maya treating his granddaughter and niece like crap just because they could?

And you'd think it would be the center point of the whole thing. I also want to see Michael point out the parallel between then and now. Sonny stole Michael from AJ by torturing him while holding him captive. Sonny held Ava captive, continually threatening to kill her as soon as Avery was born. If they want to Fan February me, then bring Lexi Ainsworth back for a surprise 2 day or so return where Kristina gets on the stand as one of Michael's star witnesses.

I want them living over Kelly's. Just because that little shit, Spencer, deserves the reality check.

Wasn't there some scene, before his "death", of Jason acknowledging that he'd done AJ wrong? I'm on day 6 of 103+ fevers, so I could be totally imagining that, but I could swear I remember him actually being somewhat remorseful about it at some point in the not too distant past.

I just imagine TC and JT looking at each other right before the scene starts "ready for this crap?" "Do we have a choice?"

The answer to this is one of the biggest reasons why Nik is an idiot thinking this somehow works - Helena has minions. Lots and lots of minions. All of her work can carry on while she kicks back on the island (where she, of course, has minions as well, who will enable her coming and going as she pleases, while Nik remains informed that she's being held). Seriously, this is Nik's solution? He is such an idiot.

When they were in the same frame during the show yesterday, I was struck by how much those two look like they could be father and son.

Maybe they'll both get married. And then we'll get a scene of clueless Carly showing up at the Q mansion to suggest to Michael that they have a double ceremony. Does Spinelli even know what kind of complete and total asswipe his story makes him sound like? "Well, my girlfriend, who was great, way better than I ever deserved, told me that she thinks I still have feelings for Maxie, and broke up with me. So I figured I might as well come out here and see if Maxie is up for it, even though I know she's in a relationship with a nice guy and she's given me no indication that she's interested in going there again." God he's a useless sack of shit.

I still contend that the town should have loved and thanked AJ. He helped "birth" the town Messiah. Without his drunk driving, there would be no Jason Morgan. Hell, he's practically the Creator. 6' here, and if you put me in a room with Billy Warlock and Steve Burton, I'm going right for Billy. Every.Single.Time.
