Great job FAA!

Post Serena, no one is dominating.  The next gen is being pummeled by the newer gen.  

Please skip the presser and pay the fine (if it comes to that). 

I guess Naomi would crumble into a bunch of pieces if she got a code violation?  If the Chair can't to their jobs because the player is too fragile, the player shouldn't be out there.  Two back to back racket abuse and not one damn word from the Chair   This can't be what Naomi wants.

Someone once tweeted that Carlos Alcaraz looked like the love child of Rafael Nadal and Carla Suarez Navarro and now that tweet seems to make sense, lol.

The remaining matches look good!

Bonnie Burroughs is a hoot as Gladys. She’s the type of actress who would deserve Emmy recognition.

Keep her and lose Howarth, Easton, Parking Lot Pete, Blando and Sasha to start.  

Drunk Gladys is one of the best things I've seen on this show in a minute!  I must've rewound that scene at the garage about 15 times.  Laughed till I cried.  She is a character this show needs.  Some levity when needed.  Howarth tries but he's not good at it.  

I love this character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That frightens me.  

I'm really beginning to hate this [!@#$%^&*] cheater.  Once Mannarino won the 3rd set, the little sh!t took a 7.5 minute bathrooms break.  He was boo'd upon his return.

Now it’s raining inside the upper decks of Arthur Ashe.

I’m in NYC now. Can’t remember rain this hard, and we had a tornado warning.

Prayers up, my friend   Be safe. 

Can y'all call that girl by her name, please?  I happen to like the name Esmerelda/Esme.

I'm not particularly interested in Elmo herself - she seems like a generic soap psycho - but I am interested in the scenes and story she'll bring for my Spencer and Trina. Trina going off on Eczema in front of Spencer? Yaaas.

Stop!

I read that the actress who plays Eggo has some training in stunts and stage combat, so I want a good fight between her and Trina during November sweeps lol. 

I will definitely watch this.  Loved me some Lou Grant!

Is Aga still getting fillers? She looks much older than the last time I saw her.

She definitely did something to her face and it's not flattering at all.  

Tits is a cheater, but the real problem is he is openly cheating and nothing is being done about it.  

I'mma need Tits to make quick work of Murray.  I cannot deal with Murray moving thru this tourney.  It would be too much!

There may be something more going on here that Wendy is covering... Having said that, whenever I see Eddie in scenes with Wendy, hand on heart he always strikes me as genuine and present. In that moment I just cannot see that he would have cheated on her. I don't know how to explain it -- he just seems into his wife.

That was Chris Samuels.  Chris loves him some Monique.  Has her back and always present.  Not many men put their wives before their mothers (as they should) but Chris did. 

And we all know Gizzard is not above lying about couples because no one wants her sour ass.  She was willing to put out a rumor that Chase was not Chris'.  

So its very possible that Wendy is insulted because she knows what she has and does not want her husband maligned on this show.

Considering the fact that perennial fu*ck ups like JG get multiple chances to screw up soaps, why should Giddens get any less of an opportunity, lol? 

That's not love, not from me, it's not. It's just the current reality of the situation. Very few writers actually want to write for these soaps these days. At least it's somebody who hasn't been on the soap merry go round for decades and ruining shows.

And at some point, we move on and wish him well.  I believe that is what's happening here.  

@Liberty CityI don't agree about annoying Wendy.  I think she treasures her husband and family and really does not want to see her man smeared.  

Robyn still believes she has the same type of relationship with her roommate as the other women have with their husbands.  lol    While the other women can take that petty rubbish back to their husbands to discuss, Juan was like "I'll holla later".  Robyn simply does not mind looking stupid 24/7.  

LaDame cannot get away with this candle biz.  She needs to be called to carpet and good.  I like Karen but she may have pulled a fast one on Wendy.  I like the hustle but if Wendy is a friend, this is not acceptable!

Mia needs to work on being a bone collector because at the moment, she stinks at it.

Mikael Ymer is getting absolutely crushed.

Did he even get on the board?  I fell asleep during the repeat.

Speaking of getting crushed...

US Open not doing well with admissions. Ticket prices are rock bottom, as low as $6!! After a year of no spectators allowed, I guess it's not exactly a stampede for seats.

US Open better start preparing for the next phase of the ATP/WTA Tours without the mega-stars that guarantee butts in seats.

You would think they would have stopped stanning the 40 years olds and put more focus on the younguns.

Oh wow I loved his show Ambitions, hated that it was canceled.

Hated Ambitious but I'm super happy he's getting another bite of the apple.  I don't agree with just about all of his past opinions but he loves the genre.

I think they may be having Jason act like he has feelings for Carly now because Sonny may be getting ready to get his memories back/return to PC. I think they want something up the stakes/cause more drama when he returns. And Jason all of a sudden acting like he has feelings for Carly could do that. It could make Sonny even more upset about the way that Carly chose to move on after she thought he died. I do think it doesn't really work, though, largely because IMO Jason/LW's version of Carly don't have romantic chemistry. And IMO Sonny does have nice chemistry with Nina and I think he should be with her instead. 

I think they would have been better off having Carly trying to mostly run things on her own, with support from Jason. But not them feeling they have to get married & then trying to sell a flat romance with them. Heck, they could have also done better with her and Jax. Maybe her and Jax could have gotten a bit closer while she was grieving for Sonny, but still clashed a bit because she was trying to take on a lot while running the business and he felt that increase in control was a still a threat to Joss's safety. They get closer to each other while Nina/Sonny also get closer and fall in love.

And then they could all deal with that once Sonny regains his memories and returns to town. Or they could have just had her running the business with help from Jason and had her possibly reconnect with Shawn who she's always had good chemistry with. I think that Jason/Carly doesn't work as a romance and it kind of feels like they threw them together because they were unsure of what to do with Carly. (I think that Jason does have chemistry with Britt and they could have done more with them). 

Carly's part of that scene was perfect.  The thing she's wanted more than anything, more than Jax and/or Sonny, is right there and it terrified her.  The "thanks for the beer" was played very well. 

The fail?  How in the sam hell did Jason get here?  He's always had Carly's back but also treated her like a mild irritant.  Jason got with Britt way too quickly but there's really no story there.  That was time needed to properly build Jarly in anticipation of Sonny's return.  Jason needed so much work before we get to 3 women in a year, especially getting with Carly!  The time squandered with Britt was a huge cost.  

While I'm super happy this is the route the writers have taken because it yields the most drama and mileage, the beats missed hugely overshadow the story.  

Sonny returning after Nina is not 1/1,000 the fireworks of Sonny returning only to find Carly coming down the stairs in Jason's shirt right into Sonny and  shirtless Jason.  Full circle!  

You may be able to get away with skipping beats in other stories but with Mr. Roboto, if you miss just one, the bottom falls out of the story very quickly.  The huge leap with Jason is a big problem!
