Actually Sharon told her earlier in the week. Or last week. Or last year. That’s when she became all ‘OMG I have to get an invite to this party! I can’t let SHARON go and not me!’ I hope Amanda gets fired for getting Phyl on the guest list. Or maybe she’ll show up only to have Dumbass’ assistant tell her she wasn’t invited and putting her on the next flight home. Or to Mars. 

Yeah, I forgot about that. But why did Phyllis have such a big reaction when Tessa brought up that Sharon was going too?

Amy & Damian have a convo so contrived, phony & boring, all I noticed was Amy’s wig hair kept falling onto her face.

I was kinda hoping Damian would invite Amy to be his plus one at the Dumas party. Then Amy would have an excuse to buy a better wig. Maybe Damian can bring one back for her as a souvenir.

2.  The games/puzzles/mazes/tests, whateveritis, follows too closely on the Martin story.  I didn't enjoy Phyllis and Sharon trying to figure out an escape and I'm not going to be entertained by having more players doing the same damn thing, either.

It's puzzling why JG is going back to that well since it wasn't received with great enthusiasm the first time. I think he needs to put down the edibles and stop watching The White Lotus on endless repeat.

My guess is that Valerie Pettiford plays Amy wearing what is obviously a wig to signify that the character has lost her hair because of the cancer treatment she's undergoing, but maybe I'm wrong.

please let it be Dru

I was going to ask who Dru is, but then it hit me that "Dru" is, of course, Drucilla Winters - just a little side note, I have a 4x great-grandmother on my father's side who was named Drucilla - who is presumed dead after falling off a cliff in 2007, although her body has never been recovered.  The reason, however, that Dumas can't be Dru (Victoria Rowell) is that Dumas is going to be played by Billy Flynn, who may be a very good actor, but I doubt that he wants to play what is apparently planned as a new addition to the show pretending to be a woman - - and now everyone's free to call me a stick-up-the-ass buzz kill, if they want.  

[Joimiaroxeu]

Damian's To Do List for his trip to France:

• Visit the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
• Stop into a boulangerie and have a freshly baked croissant.
• Tell Aristotle Dumas he can't fire me because I already quit.
• Buy two new wigs for Amy, one for everyday and one for special occasions.

If you're going to tell the audience that something is going to happen on a specific date, then something better damn well happen on that specific date.  The date on the real world calendar, not in Genoa City Saving Time.  The party was supposed to be on June 13th, but on real world June 13th, everyone is just packing and heading off to the airport?  So I guess June 13th is going to last until July 32nd.  What the flug?!!  I sure hope you all like whatever they're wearing, because you'll be seeing those clothes for a while. This whole story has become so tedious, and odds are it's all going to be pretty anticlimactic.

Oh, and the secret ingredient in the sauce?  Baking soda.  At least, that's what my Calabrese mom does, and every other Italian I know, so I'm not sure how big of a secret it is.  Just a smidge of baking soda, about a half-teaspoon or so added at the end of cooking will neutralize the acidity of the tomatoes and result in a pleasantly sweeter sauce.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Thurston and Lovey Howell aka Victor and Nikki Newman

Is Nicki wearing a bathrobe? If not...terrible fashion choice. Right down to the snaky-looking border thing that is clashing with the huge beads. And perhaps a more supportive bra would be in order. Victor has on the usual black shirt.

Sometimes Nikki and Victor get confused and think they're going to a costume party, that's why they're shown in that picture wearing their "Ma and Pa Kettle" costumes to Nick and Sage's 2015 wedding reception.

Worn on TV says it's a caftan but I would've called Nikki's top a dashiki. Generally, caftans fall below the knee and dashikis are at the knee or above. Of course, Nikki probably bought it at Fenmores where it was described as "resort wear."

Anyway, I'm hoping Show maintains the tension by showing everyone unpack, too.  For ONCE, I'd like some carrythru in the storyline.  Like, what did Diane forget, what did Sharon pack by accident, did Pomp's hair product spill in his My Little Pony backpack?

For added intrigue and to extend the timeline even longer, the airport or château valet could deliver luggage to the wrong people.

It's some kind of casual-wear jacket with a bedazzled neckline that she's wearing over a white top and white slacks - with the beads, it looks like something Aunt Suzy from Ohio would wear while visiting Miami Beach and Sharon's outfit looks like something she bought at a Macy's clearance sale rather than something she bought at a genuine Paris boutique, unless the boutique was having a clearance sale - and as for Sally's outfit, the less said the better.

[SweePea59]

Well, they just showed Dumbass talking to Hilary, or whatever she calls herself these days, in a promo during BTG. Way to reveal, cbs.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Where to start with the shit-wear of today’s ep?  Welp, first off, the wardrobe peeps turned Nikki into Mrs. Roper!  WTF?  They might as well plop a curly red wig on her to complete the look.

And loopy Sharon?  Jeez Louise, I think she crashed the grad ceremony at GCU & randomly snatched the tassels from 2 unsuspecting grads, only to latch them onto her ears for this journey.  And this was to impress Mr. & Mrs. Satan?  Don’t think it worked, Sharon, particularly cuz your fugly top looked like your bra strap was on display.  Ticky tacky, Sharon, very, very tacky!  Although we know Nikki is certainly quite familiar & partial to tacky.

And speaking of tacky, there was Sally showing too much skin in her I Dream of Jeannie outfit.  Wrong time, wrong place, Sal.  And btw, hun, are ya gonna start calling Billy “master” too, while you’re channeling Jeannie?

Oh yeah, and there was Nick the dunce being his usual useless self & wandering around in a too tight shirt, still looking like a greaseball shmuck.  Guess the wardrobe peeps have given up on him, as well as Billy & Vic cuz man, they all looked like shit.

Oh good grief, I shudder to think what backless, shoulderless, boobies-baring monstrosity The Red/Orange Beast is gonna show up in . . .

Billy and Sally walking into the looney locomotive of GCs elite only added to the stupidity of this storyline.

Back when the paint was still wet on the Mona Lisa and soap operas started to be broadcast on television, the shows were produced in New York and had access to actors who also acted in stage plays, which cannot be said of soap actors today who wouldn't have enough vocal technique for a theater audience to be able to understand what they were saying - there's stage actors film actors, tv actors and soap actors, in that order.

The Boston Pride parade was held on Saturday in my neck of the Massachusetts woods; hundreds of thousands showed up to participate as marchers, spectators, and visitors to the Pride celebration sites set-up around downtown Boston, and there was a contingent of caftan-wearing, curly red wig wearing marchers from the International Order of Mrs. Ropers among them - you never saw a group of people more joyful than those Mrs. Ropers.

[Joimiaroxeu]

A train. Hmm, where in the fancy French boonies does Aristotle Dumas live that the hostages guests need to take a train to get there?

Holden is still in GC. Still. Whatever, Holden, what exactly are these skills of which you speak? Best I can tell, all you excel at is lurking, guzzling Vespers, and copping a bad attitude.

Funny how Chelsea and Adam without question accepted Victor's statement about Tucker being in prison in India. Everyone knows Victor lies. #freetucker

Heh, I bet Sally and Phyllis could make a luggage switcheroo work, but Nikki and Audra trying to wear each other's clothes? Or Victor and Kyle? Hijinks would ensue!

[Joimiaroxeu]

My guy Nate was not here for the shadiness Holden keeps pushing wrt Audra. Not sure Audra is worth such chivalry but kudos to Nate for shutting Holden down hard. A decent man doesn't let someone trash his woman. Looking at you, Billy.

Okay, Sharon, you do not want get snarky with Sally. She's had plenty of experience handling trash with money, going back to her days in L.A. Besides, you and Sally are sorta on the same side as far as Phyllis is concerned, no?

Whee! I'm fine with it myself because I have a pretty good idea who'd win. Audra's been with both Nate and Holden, yet she's not thinking twice about  returning to Holden. Kyle better not whip out the measuring tape against Holden though. O hai Claire.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Whoo chile, Nate basically told Holden to FAFO. The gloves are off, baby. Let's go!

Another hidden camera being used to manipulate people. Yawn. But Sharon and Phyllis will probably have great flashbacks. Thanks, Martin! 🤡

Cut it out, Show. If Victor does know who Dumas is, you're not going to let him reveal it anytime soon if ever. AFAIC, the teasing has become beyond tiresome.

Right? How many times are Chelz and Adam going to have the same argument about it? And in how many different locations? IMO the writers seem to be struggling to find something for Chelsea to do. Perhaps they should send her to wherever they've stashed Chance.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Re today's sartorial splendor:

First, Darth Victor. It looked like he was wearing blue pants and a dark navy shirt, instead of his usual funereal all-black garb. What sorcery is this? 🙀
   
Next, Sally's outfit. Meh. Did she think she was going on a three-hour tour? (Interesting how here and on other soap forums, many viewers have harkened Sally's look back to classic 1960s or 70s sitcoms. And not in a good way.)

Further on the misplaced outfits front, it has to be humid in the Upper Midwest now. The start of summer is less than a week away. So Chelsea in a black leather skirt and leather boots seemed hella sweaty to me. Yikes.

About the thing on Sharon's shoulder, it definitely looked like a chain to me. Apparently it's part of the design. But if it had been indeed bra strap, no biggie to me. Visible bra straps go in and out of style and have been seen on high fashion runways. 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Sheesh, not only is Adam a weasel, he’s a jellyfish too.  And Chelsea is really an idiot.  I’d like to see Adam man up (I know, I know, that’s totally impossible) and say to Chelsea —

Look, idiot, we got our jobs, our big house & every penny we have cuz of Daddy Satan, so if he wants us to do hit pieces on Billy, then that’s what we gotta do.  Do you really want us to be jobless, broke & homeless to protect stupid Billy, you fucking fool?  

But Adam is too much of wimp to say that to Chelsea.  And she may not be crying her eyes out endlessly anymore, but man, she continues to be annoying as shit to watch.

Sally what has Billy👃 done to you?  Did he suck your fashion sense out of you via his cavernous nostrils.  All I can say to Sally is when are you going to read fortunes?  Gipsy tramps and thieves. 

 

Natey Nate Nate vs Holden or should I say Smugly vs Smug.  There is another better of Victor vs Billy👃 or should I say the mongoose and the snake. 

 

When in doubt, Chelsea, play the Conner card.  Adam take your balls back and tell Chelsea to F off.

I think Adam would be okay without Daddy Satan backing him. He’s got an Ivy League education and can probably be a smarmy weasel on his own dime. If he and Chelz haven’t saved anything from the lucrative jobs they’ve held, then they get what they get. Characters on this show treat Victor like he must be obeyed and will inevitably get whatever dreadful end he wants. Walk away. Just walk away. Stop taking his abuse when you can, in fact, function without him. Adam is too spineless and thirsty for approval to do it, but he theoretically could.

Now, Nicholas on the other hand? He’d be mopping up mystery fluids in a porn theatre’s restroom with an old sock if not for his parents. Look at that greaseball stuffing his maw with caviar, probably grabbing handfuls with the same fingers he had surreptitiously stuck up his nose earlier. Does Aristotle DOO-mah need a garbage ape for his private menagerie?

Nikki’s snooty little jabs are very unpleasant. So is her oddly hued top. DOO-mah should have instituted a dress code, because the French fashion police are gonna swarm that train any second now.

Nate shouldn’t crack on eavedropping. It’s one of the few plot devices in JG’s limited bag of tricks for moving the plot forward.

Thanks for posting this!  It’s even fuglier than I first thought, but I didn’t look too closely at that top.  From a distance, it looks like a sloppy-fitting top falling off her & her bra strap is showing.  Uh, which would be the look of a sad drunk.  So this is the look they were going for with Sharon?  Really?  Uh, alrighty then.

And it looks very uncomfortable to wear, with that jewelry thingy digging into one shoulder.  Wtf is it with this show and the fetish for one-shoulder shit?

Anyhoo, combine the awful top (in that hideous grandma's wallpaper pattern) with the graduation cap tassel ear-hangers & man, that’s a whole lotta eye-hurtin’ ugly goin’ on!  And that’s not mentioning Nikki as Mrs. Roper or Sally as I Dream of Jeannie . . . and The Red/Orange Beast hasn’t shown up yet in whatever ugly she’s gonna be in.  Sheesh, wardrobe peeps, you’re killin’ us, throwing out all this ugly!

So who else is a comin’ to this train shindig?  Well, let’s see now, there’s The Red’Orange Beast, dopey Amanda (who was dumb enough to get her invited), Jackie & Diane, Pomp & Audra (sure to show up in a tighty-tight slinky neon thing), and Lils, Damian, Devon and oh yeah, poor Abby, the Newmans’ & Abbotts’ forgotten invisible girl.

So isn’t this a whole lotta peeps to be squished into one train car?  Seems like they’re being forced into “slumming” on the subway in rush hour.  Heavens, is this more than snooty Nikki/Mrs.Roper will be able to stand?  Oh my, so much tension in the air, right?  Eh, not so much.
