B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat

[bannana]

Hahaha!  That was comic genius. Yes, that could never happen, because for one thing, you cannot get a thimble full of water out of those lavatory faucets.  I loved the water just gushing out of there and there being enough room for Liam to slip and conk his head.  

 

But how stupid is Ivy to fly to Australia with a concussion.  That is at least what an 8 hour flight?  Or more.  Stupid girl.  

 

A montage of her electrocution, her tumble down the stairs and Liam's whoopsie I slipped and hit my head in the lav were cycling through my mind all afternoon.

[Zanzibar]

But how stupid is Ivy to fly to Australia with a concussion.  That is at least what an 8 hour flight?  Or more.  Stupid girl.  

 

A flight from Los Angeles to Sydney is over 14 hours long.

 

I haven't watched this show in weeks.  It's far more entertaining reading here.

[bannana]

Oh sheesh, that is even worse.  A recently BBQ'ed and now concussioned Ivy thinks the best thing to do is get on a 14 hour flight!

 

If you haven't watched, Zanzibar, you may want to google the BBQ and tumbles, for sheer entertainment value.

[Snaporaz]

Oh, Quinn, I love you, but STAY.OUT.OF.IT! How frustrating to see Wyatt be self-aware and make some sense, only to have Quinn convince him that it would be a good idea to pursue yet another woman obsessed with his brother.

Today's ending is why I just can't give up on this show. They can (and do) bring the funny, no matter how ridiculous it is!

[grisgris]

Can't Steffy post a better photo of her first wedding to Waffles? Ridiculous bridal attire aside, in that one photo we keep seeing, it looks like she's trying to throttle the groom! Gondola-gate and the mountaintop wedding would be a good repeat the next time there's another holiday or sports preemption.

 

I've never known airlines to let people wander in and off the plane. Once the plane is full and the jetway is closed off, you're stuck. Unless Liam tried to pass of the extra ticket for Ivy as his own. Still, how we he just going to walk off the plane? Yeah, like another person mentioned, after 911, that just wouldn't be allowed, especially at a huge international airport like LAX.

 

Wouldn't if have been cheaper overall, and more logical, to just buy Ivy a ticket in first-class? She'd have more room to try to rest and relax during that long flight.

 

I've also never seen such a spacious lavatory in a plane. It looked like it had a round porcelain sink with designer handles and excessively strong water pressure. I've only seen the flimsy stainless steel sinks where you push on and off to get a teeny trickle of water.

 

Why was Steffy bundled up in a blanket in front of the fire when it had to have been at least 85 degrees outside?

 

Add me to those who have completely given up on any kind of intriguing soapy storylines and just watch for comic and snark value.

[Turtle]

This show is the funniest thing on tv, hands down. I've professed my undying love for all the flashback montages several times, but Steffy's "oh my god- I'm so surprised and terrified by what just happened" lip-trembling, panting reaction poses have had me in stitches every time she's almost killed Ivy. Liam's airplane bathroom folly was just icing on the cake.

Nothing but the hilarity is all that interesting to me right now.

[Anna Yolei]

I'll grant that B&B has that going for it....every once in a great while, we'll get ridiculous cheese like this (which I haven't seen yet, as I just got off work), and the Cabo dune buggy chase of 2012 and the infamous man and....HORSE!

If I can't have good stories, I'll at least stick around for the lulz.

Liam fighting with the evil sink then conking his head was hilarious! As someone said, why not just upgrade Ivy to business class? On a flight back from China, I got bumped up to business class, and it was heaven!

[AussieBabe]

I routinely fly from LAX to SYD/MEL. It's a solid 15+ hours. (I've also been on the DFW-SYD flight which clocks 16 hours.) Flying with a concussion is pure idiocy. And Liam? Gah this show is more comical than Passions was. Maybe that's what Bell is aiming for: the comedic soap.

And boring arse Zende and Nicole will be back on the screen. Maybe she'll wise up and realise bestie boo wants her man. And Sasha will be back with a list of demands for Papa Avant. Ugh.

I knew they'd drag the holy pregnancy along and have Caroline looking like she's in the third trimester a few months after announcing it.

I'm sure JMW is perfectly lovely, but I wish she'd stop with the facial work. She's looking like a cartoon.

[KLovestoShop]

When I flew from LA to Sydney, it was 16 3/4 hours. There's no way in hell that anyone with a recent concussion should fly, and Bell is an idiot for writing that scenario. Once Liam told the flight attendant that she was sick from a concussion, she probably would have reported it to the captain, and I bet they would have escorted her off the plane. I mean, there aren't many places to land a jet quickly in an emergency on a trans-Pacific flight.

I will admit, my sister and I were laughing our heads off when Liam conked out in the loo. What a doofuss. The way he fell, it looked more like he was on the Space Shuttle and not a plane. Those jumbo jets don't take off like a rocket, but that's how they made it look.

Edited January 6, 2016 by KLovestoShop

[jenrising]

Well, given the choice between flying with a concussion and staying in the same city as Cousin Killer, I think Ivy's choice was probably safer. 

 

Hoping for many scenes of Ivy and Liam falling into fountains, tumbling into bushes and slipping off wet sidewalks while they try to get back to LA. Very much not hoping for inevitable Wyatt and Bratz humping. I don't like Wyatt, but he deserves better. 

[blackwing]

So he said she had an extra seat, presumably the extra seat was in his name? Because no TSA agent would have let him past security without a ticket in his name, even if "my friend has a concussion and she needs some help getting settled". If she's that sick she wouldn't be allowed on the plane.

That plane sure went from "we'll be taking off soon" to barrelling down the runway in no time flat. What, no agonisingly slow taxi to the runway?

Still, it was entertaining. The only thing that would have made it better is if Steffy had stowed away in an overhead compartment. And then the plane goes down and the three idiots are the only casualties.

[Cool Breeze]

Does Liam carry his passport with him at all times?  Not sure how he would have gotten through security without it.  And how did he even buy a ticket for an international flight with no luggage?  Post-September 11th, that's got to raise some red flags.  

 

I really hope this show doesn't have a location shoot in Australia.  I can't deal with more montages full of fake enthusiasm and pointing.

[AussieBabe]

I'm open to a location shoot--if they avoid the cheese fest montages in future episodes. I rolled my eyes at Mya and Rick's honeymoon flashback.

[Anna Yolei]

If we have a location shoot,can they pick somewhere other than Sydney? Rick and Phoebe already ruined that for everyone?

As an aside to my Aussie friends here, what was the name of that park in Sydney that's near the botanical gardens and along the way to the Opera House? The one with all the cockatoo birds in it? My ship hit port there around 5 years ago and we had a blast with those guys! I heard the locals consider them a nuisance though, but the little guys trying to pluck my hair made for some funny photos!

[blackwing]

If there was a location shoot, I'm sure it would be in Sydney.  Ivy is from Sydney, and Sydney (and really just the Opera House) is probably the only Australian city that is instantly recognisable to Americans as Australian.  I did a quick internetz search and didn't see any news of a location shoot, unlike before when they pre-announced shoots in Paris and Amsterdam.

 

They will probably have one though, because it involves Beady Eyes.  I'm convinced that Scott Clifton has naked pictures of Bradley somewhere, because there's no other plausible explanation for why he consistently gets to fly overseas and gets the most prominent storylines.  If they are really going on location, no doubt Puffy will find a way to go too, because Jackie Wood must have naked pics of Ambassador Colleen, because she too always gets to go overseas. 

[CountryGirl]

Is it just me or does Quinn love Steffy so much because she's dark and twisty like her?

 

Her hard-on for Steffy is almost bigger than Bill's at this point.

 

Liam get conked on the head while the spray of doom soaked everything in sight will never not be funny.

[Waldo13]

Liam must have been carrying his passport with him because he certainly didn't go home to get it. The only other possibility was that Bell doesn't give a crap about TSA rules. Liam needed his passport to buy a ticket, to get through security, and finally to actually board the plane. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you have to check in at least an hour and a half before the international flight.

For the first time today, Sasha made me feel very sad for her. She was making some very good points and brought out even more flaws in popper Avant. Did anyone catch the reference to Maya hovering over Nicole. Zende, it's only the beginning so run as fast as you can.

To quote Jessica Rabbit, "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way". That can be applied to Ivy's change of character. I don't blame her, I blame Bell. Can't say that about Liam and Steffy because they have not changed one iota.

Edited January 6, 2016 by Waldo13

[jenrising]

I'm still giggling from watching Liam and Ivy have an actually kind of sweet concussed convo on the plane. Anything nonromantic works so much better for Liam. Bonus points for the flight arttendant who clearly wanted to let him out the nearest exit.

 

Wasn't enough to make up for yet another woman pretending to be attracted to Zende Ken Doll.

[AussieBabe]

I'm all for a location shoot outside of Sydney, but Bell is too lazy to look elsewhere. It's easily recognisable and iconic, but there is a tonne more that could be shown. If staying in NSW is important, why not visit Jonah's Whale Beach? Delicious food and gorgeous views.

Why not visit the Gold Coast? Take a trip to Uluru and stay the night at Longitude 101. The sunrise at the Red Centre is beautiful. Tasmania is also pretty awesome. Especially when Aurora Australis is visible. Fly over Lake Hillier and admire the pink colour. Visit Western Australia (Perth, Kimberley, etc.) The rustic beauty is relaxing. There's more to Straya than the Opera House. And there's a new-ish lodge (Jamala Wildlife) just outside of Canberra that allows you to sleep with the animals so to speak. I had breakfast with a lioness. (Glass was separating us but it was a one of a kind experience.) And Patissez in Canberra has the most epic and delicious freakshakes.

Anywho, I almost felt bad for Sasha, but she's going about it wrong. At least she's out of that fugly romper. Thank you wardrobe and hair for giving her a slight upgrade. And when is Nicole going to start showing? I knew we'd get the full treatment for the holy one. Zende is still dull. Carter needs a storyline. Maybe link him and Sasha? He already dated Maya, so it would keep with the siblings sharing partners/former partners theme.

Liam's fall was by far the funniest thing ever.

I'd completely forgotten about Quinn's involvement in pushing Ivy towards a green card marriage to keep Steffy and Liam apart. But unless she has a personal reason to stick it to Liam, I just don't see why she's cheerleading her son, one she claims to love so much, to hook up with yet another one of his brother's leftover.

Liam Spencer is the new Brooke.

[KLovestoShop]

Anna, was the park the Featherdale Wildlife Park?  I was there a few years ago, it's outside Sydney and I got to hold a koala and see the wombats.  Very cool park.  This was a private tour by our cruise line where only 6 of us were part of it.  

 

If they're doing a remote shoot, I vote for them to go to the Adelaide River Queen Cruise where they have the jumping crocodiles.  They could string up Ivy and once the "crocs" have a hold of her, Liam can jump in to save her from the ravenous jaws of the 15 foot croc.  Now that's must see TV.  

[Gudzilla]

I like how i can connect every romantic Steffy/Liam montage moment to Hope being trapped or dumping the waffle.*

 

Why is Carter pushing attractive available women on to Zende ?

 

 

 

*Not counting the parachute men of course, some moments are too special to be sullied.

[Petunia13]

Nicole talking about her water weight gain while her dress highlights an 18 inch waist : /

I think Julius was serious when he said Sasha needed "to stop this. And stop this. right. now."

Steffy's hair and outfit looked absoluted clownish today.

[Joimiaroxeu]

Nicole, sweetie: people get nauseated by things that are nauseous. To call yourself nauseous (and have your boyfriend basically agree with you) would mean you're seriously putting yourself down. /pedantry.

Aw, look at Liam and Ivy with their matching concussions.

Was that flight attendant's Down Under accent authentic? She seemed to me to be laying it on pretty thick. We get it, Show, the flight's going to Australia. Are there going to be kangaroos running up and down the aisle too in case the point still doesn't sink in?

Good thing Liam's not a terrorist who might have been planning to commandeer the plane and send it to the bottom of the ocean. What kind of airline lets people hang out in the bathroom while the plane is taking off? At the very least it would be a huge liability to them if the passenger gets hurt.

Is Steffy working her way to going full blonde? Seems like the ombre effect is creeping higher and higher up her head.

Right? WE GET IT, SHOW. Tomorrow the in-flight meal for Down Under Airlines will be "shrimp on the barbie" and the movie will be Crocodile Dundee, because random writer just googled "Australia in pop culture"

Nope, just a regular park that I was walking through to get to downtown Sydney that was home to wild cockatoos.

I'd pay for that!

UO, but I don't hate JMW's current look. When she first came on the show, her hair was bordering on brown with natural blonde highlights. It certain is more flattering to the can of shoe polish she was borrowing from Ronnnnnnnnnn Moss a few years ago.

When it started out I thought she might be trying out a coloring trend from 2013 called "tortoiseshell." The only reason I know this term is that I have a college-age daughter who had this done to her hair.

 

 

 

 

JMWs colorist is so hamhanded, it's hard to say where this waste of good money after bad is going to end up other than damaged bottle blonde.

[LittleIggy]

Zende and Nicole should be marketed as insomnia relief. The cute "awake" dog on that Belsomra ad would fall asleep as soon as he met them.

[ByTor]

Nicole, sweetie: people get nauseated by things that are nauseous. To call yourself nauseous (and have your boyfriend basically agree with you) would mean you're seriously putting yourself down. /pedantry.

According to Webster, nauseous is defined as 1. Causing nausea or disgust (as you said) and 2. Affected with nausea or disgust. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nauseous). With regard to this show, "causing" will always be the definition!

Any show that features ZZZZZZZZZzzzzende and Naptime Nicole is a snoozer.  It's a great time to do more productive things while watching, like reading a book.

[godfreydaniels]

For the love of God I don't think I've ever seen a character written to be a stupid as Liam..or as dumb as Ivy. If the writers are going for comic relief, they are going about it the wrong way, because it is just too stoooopid for me. I don't suppose Zende and Carter can afford work out clothes as they are always baring their abs, which is okay once in awhile, but it happens way too much and just makes them look dull and boring. Lazy lazy writing. Different, but L A Z Y.  The Avant story line needs to move along also. Sasha  needs to introduce her "father" to everyone involved.

[Anna Yolei]

Yesterday was the first episode I watched with Sasha, and...something about her acting is just off. Not in the JMW realm of bad, but stilted, somehow.

Also, Julius was a part of a golf club? Aren't those usually one step below a country club in its clientele? As I understand, the Avants were a working class family.

Julius had chutzpah to bring his side piece around his own wife and let the daughter make friends with his kids, like Sasha said. And where is all this "Forresters are respectable people" crap coming from? Even putting aside Julius's social climbing aside...he HAS heard of Brooke Logan, right?

[Cool Breeze]

We know "respectable" just means "rich".  With all those divorces, scandals, run-ins with the law, etc., there's no way those people can be considered "respectable".

Those airplane seats look too big and nice for steerage, aka coach. Plus, they have real coffee mugs.

And FC already has a perfectly good photographer - Oliver. Why that gorgeous young man is being wasted, I will never know. They could have paired Ivy with him but of course, that would mean no triangle or quadrangle with two brothers and we know how Bell likes to keep it in the family.

[donovan]

Didn't Maya make mention that Zzzzzzende wanted Oliver's old job?  Does that mean Oliver is off the show now?

[Waldo13]

I was thinking exactly the same think about those airplane seats. 2 and 2 seating is at least business class. Economy class would have seats in a middle row.

Nicole and Zende are like watching paint dry. Zende is actually a younger version of Liam and Nicole is a younger version of Hope. Liam and Hope = Nicole and Zende but Sasha is going to be to Zende as Wyatt was to either Hope or Ivy. I'm wondering if Wyatt is having mommy issues. They say a woman marries a man who's much like her father but is Wyatt intrigued, by Steffy, because she's much like Quinn?

Maya, that dress was ugly and it made you look like a stuffed sausage. Rick, your haircut got to go. It looks like you are wearing a bird nest. A word of advice Zende, fashion photographers don't use tripods with a 35mm SLR camera. It ultimately slows down the inter action with the model's poses.

[Gudzilla]

So, Steffy hears " It's a funny story " and assumes that a breakup is coming ? Or is she just mad that someone got a concussion without her ?

 

Oh well I guess she's got enough reason to sleep with Wyatt now, then poor $Bill will be the only Spencer to not ride the FUN! train.

I got depressed trying to imagine that. But then I remembered that networks don't give a fuck about their soaps and this show will likely be off the air before this horrifying reality came to pass. :)

Steffy knows Liam not to trust him out of arm's reach with any of his exes. Lol :p Given their past history, I don't blame her, really.

I wish they'd stop showing clips from the Aspen wedding, if TIIC really want to pass them off as some deep love story. Almost every scene prior to her return last year was in some way connected to Hope rejecting Liam and him turning to Steffy because her cooch...sorry, her couch was available to crash on until Hope's tantrum passed. That's not the reminder y'all wanna put out there. Just sayin'.

Yup. Maya said Oliver was on "leave," but he's been off Show for a long time.

[grisgris]

Been wondering ...

 

Wouldn't the other passengers on the plane have complained about the lavatory being tied up for so long?  By the same token, when the flight attendants did their final safety check/emergency instructions run-through, why didn't they noticed the "occupied" light on over the lavatory?

 

Also, wouldn't a passenger being knocked unconscious during a flight warrant a medical emergency landing?  Amsterdam would have been perfect!

 

I wish that Liam had amnesia and thought he was still married to Ivy, but it was the real deal. Anything. Just liven up this absurd situation.

 

So Zende is going to be this mediocre photographer and Sasha's natural instincts and lack of inhibition as a "model" will write his ticket to success at FC. /eyeroll.

 

I have nothing to add about Steffy and Wyatt other than that Steffy's hair looks like it's going to break off right above where the blonde is creeping up her head. Khloe Kardashian must be her style muse or something.
