I just hope there's a camera trained on him and Kelly if he loses. You know they won't be able to hide their anger in that moment.

I was thinking "he must fancy himself an expert on the taste of sperm to be able to make that claim." And, yes, I'd be shocked if there isn't an eventual "he's been soliciting male prostitutes for years" reveal on this guy. I look forward to Jessica's coverage of that one. I loved her absolute glee that the guy looking to buy the building wants to turn it into a shelter for homeless LGBT youth. And I'm with her on that glee. It just doesn't get more perfect than that. I hope he's successful in getting that done.

The florists in Port Charles should start offering bouquets with hidden handguns in them. Alexis has mostly had tragic taste in men. Sonny, Ric, Jerry, Julian... (Not that I don't love Ric, but he was definitely not good for her beyond helping her fend off Sonny for a while.) By far, her best relationship with a man was her (unfortunately) platonic relationship with Jax.

I'm sure Bill would welcome her there with open arms. Katie...not so much.

I'd be surprised if Alexis didn't keep her name. It would seem so out of character.

Seriously. At this point, I'd be begging out of every social invitation. If it was something I absolutely could not miss, I'd be attending in a bullet proof vest, under a suit of armor, covered with a haz-mat suit. These people have all lived there long enough to know better.

I think Frank is trying to win him one, but that doesn't rule out some other behind the scenes person not liking him. Of course, I'm mostly just joking, because I know that, if I worked with someone like BryDog, I'd absolutely be trying to find ways to get him to show his ass one more time so he'd get canned. Surely, someone at GH must feel the same way?

Yes. If I remember correctly, his character was involved with Kelly, right around the time Kelly and Donna opened that clothing store.

Exactly. Shoot her again, just to make sure you hit just the right spot so she can't survive.

Maybe someone behind the scenes is trying to get him fired and figured it wouldn't take long before he lost his shit over a rude question?

Well, he does have the Sonny seal of approval, so he's not as much of a loser as someone who has all that qualities and isn't Sonny-approved. I'd like her more if she thinks Uncle Jerry is WAY cooler than Uncle Sonny.

This is a show where we have no idea who Josslyn's kidney donor is. A show where "just the basement blew up." How Larry could drug Tracy - either in a joint or her drink - is small potatoes compared to some of the other ridiculous leaps of logic this show has taken in recent memory. It's not a given that he did drug her, but it seems like there has to have been some reason for that whole "Tracy takes a vacation and runs into Larry" thing.

I'll admit to being a picky eater, texture-wise, so I can't throw stones at much in these eating challenges (except for the fact that they willingly sign on for a show where they know odds are that an eating challenge stands between them and the win). So I'll cut them some slack on the solids, but the soup? Geez, it's soup. The girl with "no gag reflex" can't just chug that stuff and swallow?

Oh, hell no. I am not watching today. I refuse.

I get the impression it's for the camera time/attention. During the WWE story line, where he was supposed to be involved with Lana, he was out there using social media to promote that by pretending there was really something going on between them. And he was willing to sign on for that story line on Total Divas where he was after Nikki. I think he'll do whatever is needed to get attention and camera time, and since the show needs some guys willing to do so, they're more than happy to point a camera in his direction.

That's kind of my best case scenario at this point. I want to see something happen in this latest mob conflict where Avery ends up endangered in some way, and Michael loses his patience with Sonny, especially if you add in a revelation that Sonny has been letting his family all think he's not progressing with his recovery so he can appear weak to his enemies as an advantage in a mob war. If the Michael vs. Sonny conflict isn't over yet, that would make the past few months much less heinous to me.

I agree. As it is, I get rage blackouts for most of Michael's scenes, because I'm just so pissed off that they had him run right back to Sonny and Carly so easily. We could have had a long term plot of him getting revenge, maybe aided by people like Monica, Tracy, and Jax (if they could get Ingo back for a story arc). We could have seen Sonny really lose, even if he was going to eventually be built back up. Instead he got what was, essentially, a five minute time out, and then everybody loved him once again. Even after Michael gave in and re-established some relationship with him, it should have been "less" than what they previously had. There should have always been some undercurrent there that Michael does not approve of what Sonny does, that he wants nothing to do with it, because the life Sonny lives is why he thought it was perfectly fine to kill Michael's father. All that aside, seriously, Chad? You're lobbying for a re-do on Mabby? Don't try to undo the wonder that was Off-screen Crane.

Seriously. Finding out your mother slept with your brother under ordinary circumstances would be enough to drive one to drink. Finding out that she slept with him while she's been hiding him at her cabin and he's dealing with amnesia, so she told him they were a married couple? Yikes. Is there enough booze in L.A. for that?

The 30 minute food penalty (compared to, I think, 10 minutes for Mitch/Cory) along with what seemed like a pretty big time difference on the canoes pretty much killed off their lead from the first leg. I agree, I would have loved to see some times, beyond what time penalties they got, but I guess they wanted to make sure no one could figure out who the winner was until TJ announced it. But, that makes for kind of an anti-climactic finish. The first people to finish just have to sit around and wait for everyone else to finish so they can find out who won overall. It makes for a more exciting finish if it's a race to the finish line.

OK, Show, I'd buy Olivia taking up for Lulu when Dante's a dumbass. What I don't buy? Is Carly taking up for her one of her sons' love interests if her son is a dumbass. Carly's obsession with Kiki is just plain fucking weird and out of character.

I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't put it past him to cook up something to have a strong Exes team, but it sounded too like what happened when he was done with Jonna - he just shuts all communication down without warning or explanation. He's not remotely mature enough to actually break up with someone, so he just goes radio silent. Later, if called on it, he'll act like it was her fault.

Right as a scene is about to start: "I bet I can look less interested in being here than you can!" "Oh, I'll take that bet!"

But who's actually blaming KeMo/Sam? It's the writers. They've decided that KeMo/Sam is their "star" and they've, at times, used Liz to prop her stories, to be the "bad guy" to provide angst for her relationship. Yes, they trashed Sam when they were convinced KeMo was leaving. But, once she was sticking around, they built her right back up to the perfect everything. And they've done it a couple times on Liz's back. To contrast, when they ruin Liz, they just let her drift back to scenery for a while, until they need to use her again as a prop for someone else's story. For example - Sam sits by and watches Liz's kid get kidnapped, taunts her that he's probably dead, and then terrorizes her and her kids with some rent-a-thugs. But, of course, she ends up helping save Jake once they decided to build Sam back up, and eventually she gets Jason back and all is good. Does anyone think there is some moment coming where Liz saves Danny somehow? Where she's given the time to make amends to people? Even if Becky does stay, that just won't happen. Again, not KeMo's fault, not Sam's fault (Sam being a fictional character and all who is controlled entirely by the whim of the writing staff), but the writers. People are comparing the way the writers treat the two, not saying that KeMo (who, from all accounts, is pretty good friends with BH) is somehow to blame.

I agree. I think that one of the reasons they want him around is as their Sam love interest back-up in case BM leaves. Maybe he'll be the product of some affair Helena had, so no actual relation to Sam?

When John was going on about how gross it was for CM to use Abe's feelings for her to get farther in the season, I was waiting for a lightning bolt to strike him down (or, at least for Nany or a surprise Camilla to kick him in the nuts). Really, John? Really? Yeah, you totally didn't sleep with multiple girls on different seasons and then continue to string them along to make sure they were on your side, cutting them loose when it was to your benefit. Nope. Not at all. You're a fucking saint. #VinceFail was probably my favorite part of the reunion. Least favorite part? Banana Cam. Just stop. During the end of the finale, I was joking that Cara and Jamie probably said "this is awesome, I love you, now, let's give it six months or so." So when Jenna and Brianna said they hadn't spoken for a couple months, I laughed. I can totally see why they'd feel that way. Yeah, you had fun, at times, and you did well together, but it just seems like you'd also want a break from each other after that. Oh, wait, other favorite part was Aneesa's Cory imitation. And I kind of love that she was so open like "yeah, I knew we were going to get caught, but, screw it, life's short, I was having some fun." She also probably did the best job of owning her shit that any cast member has done in quite a few seasons. I hope Abe and Cara actually got a chance to have that off camera talk and get some closure. I don't know what the hell has gone on in their relationship, but it sounds like it's completely dysfunctional. It also sounds like, to Abe, dysfunctional is just "normal." They were clearly both hurting, though, so I hope that they got a chance to talk privately and try to get some closure. They clearly care about each other, despite whatever has gone down, but it seems like Cara is ready to move on and find something healthier, but she just feels so guilty over how everything went down. I give her points for going over to Abe to apologize before delving into the questions. And I know it ended up coming off shitty, but I can completely understand how she ended up getting off track and bragging "I sent you home and I won, didn't I?" when John was hammering her about her behavior. Yes, that hurt Abe to the point where he ended up agreeing with John. But John was being such an ass. I was so hoping she'd follow through and publicly spill John's dirt when she threatened to. He may have acted like he didn't care, but I'm sure he does not want it so explicitly spelled out on camera like that. (Of course he'd just deny and say she was just lashing out because she was mad at him for blowing her cover). Personally, I wouldn't have blamed any number of people if they had punched him right in the face when he condescendingly lectured Cara to "at least be honest" about whether she gave the guy a hand job or not. Sure, John, as soon as you're "honest" about what happened in the Exile house last season with you and Nany...
