    ….Show, please stop trying to make Josh Morrow work in a serious storyline, it's not working and it's hurting my stomach.  It's bad enough watching him struggle in a suit while doing his "Howdy Sheriff" walk but having him talk like he's both making sense and being wise hurts my ears.  Get the guy a paper route, have him sell hot dogs at the ball park, anything that makes ostensible sense….

    THIS.
    The “Howdy Sheriff walk” and “paper route” parts are spot on.  Thank you.

    First off, I have no sympathy for any of these adults. The kids, sure….but the adults walked into this eyes wide open. Second, I love how Kody walked right past Meri at the RV. He could not care less about her. She’s a total null set. I’m convinced when he looks in her direction he just sees an empty space. 

    Completely agree about all of the adults.  I don’t have sympathy for any of them, including Christine.

    You’re right!  Kody only turned back to hug Meri because the cameras were running.

  3. I, too, liked the first episode much better.  

    Would love to see mother and son work closely, utilizing Todd’s specialized  detective skills, with less of his unique personality traits being front and center but never completely disappearing.  Also, give the guy a desk and his own car.  (I realize all of this could happen in future episodes.) 

  4. I’m thinking bipolar Chelsea will somehow put Conner and Johnny in harms way.  Adam will come to their rescue and will also be hurt or put in some sort of danger, in the process.  Word will spread throughout Genoa City and Sally will realize she still loves Adam and will move heaven and earth to get to him/them.

    Thats my story and I’m sticking to it.🤔😉👍

  5. I enjoyed this “Cold Case” type episode of 911.  It doesn’t even bother me that the 45 year old truck was still in operation or that the little girls bedroom was untouched for the same amount of time.  I loved that it was different and unexpected and that I never lost focus by glancing at my iPad, which I usually tend to do while watching tv.

    Am I looking forward to upcoming regular 911 episodes?  Of course.  However, this one intrigued me.  Kudos to whoever came up with the idea of trying it.

    ….. I know the show sees Nick as some kind of romantic lead and probably saw that Sally was somewhat popular, and, well, here we are. Sally has been demeaned by this storyline, Nick seems skeevier than normal, and a hot pairing (Adam & Sally) has been replaced by a really gross, extremely inappropriate workplace “romance” with a glaring power imbalance…

    THIS.  Talk about skeeve!  The acting choices JM makes are simply awful.  The guy swaggers and saunters around like he’s a dog with a bone and the king of secretive romance.  Ugh!  He thinks he’s portraying Nick as being a smooth operator but, in my eyes, he looks ridiculous.  

    I loved Sally with Adam, and couldn’t believe how they complimented one another in so many ways.  I never expected it but I really thought the writers got it right, for once.  Then…BAM.  The writers blew it up.  You’re right, Sally has been “demeaned” and I’m ALMOST to the point of not caring anymore.  The FF button is becoming my friend.

    It is heartening to see how Rinna's latest attempt at destroying someone has backfired beautifully. I hope Kim, Yolanda, Vanderpump and Denise are enjoying it. Rinna is just vile and, it appears everyone can now see it. 

    Right.  It’s not that Kathy’s rant didn’t happen.  Of course it did.  It’s that Rinna  has a pattern of viciously (sometimes quietly) latching on and practically squeezing the person to death over a mistake.

    I hope we start getting back to one hour episodes soon.  Two hours during baseball and football season whilst trying to read a 600 page Stephen King novel is TOO MUCH.

    It’s weird to have a double-sized ep and only one person went home.

    You are not alone.  I find myself becoming easily distracted during two hour episodes.  I realize there are still many contestants to film at this point in the competition, but two hours feels like forever.

  9. I realize the character, Adam Newman, has put up with quite a bit of annoyance and outright hate over the years by other characters….some of it deserved.  However, in the last month or so, it seems EVERYONE is coming for him at the same time except Jack.  Do any of you get the feeling Adam will be killed off or written out fairly soon?  Is MG leaving the show?

    What surprised me the most was that Garrick didn't shed a tear.  I thought he'd be the one doing most of the bawling.  But nothing.  However, he seemed angry and actually said that he believed she planned it all along.  It would appear the love is gone.  

    Right.  Their individual reactions were the complete opposite of what I expected.  Role reversals.  It was so odd.

    It always seems like Chloe's "concern" for Chelsea and Sally is less about what's best for them and more about her own desire to make sure Adam has no happiness in his life at all. 

    Agree.  Also, I feel sorry for EH because she has been required to repeat the exact same dialogue, at the same pace, with utmost sincerity, to either Sally or Chelsea for the last few years.  Im sick of it.  Imagine how she feels.

  12. I wasn’t fond of anything Mina did to this house, especially the kitchen.  I despise open shelving for a variety of reasons, the range hood looked miles too high, and I disliked all the finishes she chose.  That skinny island or table or whatever it was, is awful.  

    WHY does she not make any of her first floor living spaces larger?   There’s no room for a family to relax, watch tv, or for any entertaining.  In this instance, I cannot imagine preparing and serving a Thanksgiving dinner on that first floor?

    Also, Mina’s vocal fry habit is like nails on a chalkboard, for me.  Vocal fry bothers me, in general, but I seem to latch on to hers.

  13. The use of an Algorithm for choosing teams is baloney and I think the cast is fully aware of it.  That said, I’m not unhappy for the weekly shake up but I do wonder who is making the final pairing decisions.  

    I’m thrilled Tiffany is out.  She is a smart woman and her masterminding The Cookout was outstanding BUT it seems her head has grown to the size of Texas during the last year.  Maybe she will come back down to earth after this loss.

    I don’t mind watching Tyson work his magic.  Good for him.

    Pretty sure Chris never made an appearance during the negotiations between Amy and Matt. It was even commented on at the time, that it was odd that Amy wasn't involving Chris. 

    He may not have been in the room physically, but my guess is that Chris advised Amy behind closed doors.  She has a mind of her own, of course, but she would have been a fool not to consider any input he had to offer.

  15. I think Alison’s team should have won but, I agree, they should have fancied up the blank wall with either hanging pictures or some sort of easily removable artwork.

    The “glamping” room was so dangerously bad.  Not only could children suffocate in the bunk bed surrounded by a thick tarp but I could also see the potential for strangulation with all those hanging ropes nearby.

    Clearly, the father and son team weren’t thinking about safety either.  That said, I thought the ship bed was way too cumbersome for the space.

    I also think the teams need more helpers or more time.  Probably both.  Adding rotating  judges makes sense, too.

    I mean, things and people do change. Matt used to gush over Jeremy's work ethic and engineering mind... not so much anymore. Is it because he was keeping Jeremy buttered up to get more work out of him? Or did he realize eventually that Jeremy was kind of a slacker at the core, both mentally and physically? Is he being two faced in not continuing to gush?

    Tory got along great with Caryn for years and then saw a side of Caryn that apparently dramatically altered her view. Its allowed. It happens.

    I think the dog is treated well. I think he's not trained well but big dogs live in many homes with little kids with no issues.

    Did he ask to come in?

    My point is….he should have been invited in.

  17. I cannot believe Matt was relegated to the outer edges of the garage the entire time he was at Zach’s home delivering Christmas gifts.  Matt Roloff is no saint but he is an elderly man who uses crutches and isn’t in the best physical condition.  How could they not have invited him inside to see the kids, and offer him a refreshment and a comfortable place to sit FOR A FEW MINUTES?   Instead, Jackson and Lilah had to maneuver their way out of the house and around claptrap in order to visit with their grandfather IN THE GARAGE.   Its just crazy, to me!

  18. We get it, Alison!  You hate red.  🙄  I thought the dark green glass was a poor choice for those two stained glass windows. Yuck.   Did you even ask the owners if they liked the original red?  If they didn’t, did you ask what replacement color THEY would have preferred? 

    I hated that uglya$$ kitchen hood.  I didn’t like the overall design or the placement.  Seemed way too high.  

    I’d give the overall design a C-.  Wasn’t that impressed with either the exterior or interior.
