EXACTLY!!! smh. I was hoping with Kenya vs Brit...they would build up to Kenya's exit like LVP's exit on BH Season 9. But THIS. As Porsha would say...wrong road, Bravo, wrong road. And judging from the sneak peek Bravo released that everyone dragged because it was clear Kenya was there, but NOT seen...the public has answered. They...want...KENYA.

Hahahaha

A good chuckle.

I saw that and hollered.

I see. lol. I see. lol.

Thank you!! Then I will probably try to keep up mid-month so I'm not completely lost.

No worries. No worries. IKR. Love it!!

I admit...I have come back to that second picture more times today than I feel that I should have.

Just to be sure next month is when the new writers arrive or is it mid-month this month?

Same to both. I will be sooooo heated if it turns out to be that.

You are much better than I. Though I have good eye-avoidant game.

Well, it's not a spoiler to say that there's an article that mentions something (not specific) saying something might happen with those two next week. Now if you read the article, then it might be considered a spoiler. If you read it of course. Your choice. Versus me saying this happens next week with specifics. THAT would be a spoiler. And I did not so...NO. NOT a spoiler. OR saying something in an episode when a person has not watched or mentioning something in an episode when you know the person is watching it in real time or has not reached that point. Which would also be a spoiler. I love colorblind casting. Some of the best characters and actors are discovered that way.

Well I didn't say she wasn't basic. LMAO.

Yep. I love you, Sharon Case, but I can tell this episode is going to drive me up the wall.

I think we can all agree so far Vanessa is the best of that bunch. Which is why I think there is a more intentional reason for Ash by who she is connected to and what stories are connected to those people who she is connected to. Everything else is just me probably looking deeper than I probably should be...but writer mind. Well tbf, If I had to pick, it's Diego over Derek so I can see why Nicole and Vanessa were hot and bothered.

2-25 I agree with @dragonflies. I thought TN did a great job. From the bits of shade I saw on the BTG Thread, I was worried. I thought he did great as Tortured Finn for the Friday cliffhanger last week, but TN and JMW were superb on Monday's episode. In fact, they were my highlight as Finn told her that Luna is his daughter. There was a build to that moment in terms of plot, pacing, and even within the episode. I didn't feel he was just stuttering through it at all. Finn clearly could not find the words to tell her. And the writing and acting build up to him finding them beautifully. If I had to nit-pick, I would say I would have loved to see one tear fall from his eye, but TN at least got to pure teary-eyed which some can't even do. I loved it. He was acting. And I felt that. Speaking of Steffy, I loved watching her connecting the dots in Monday's episode. And even when she would get soooo close to full revelation, she would not get it. JMW did good. And of course, she realized it and had to go all Steffy about it. lol. Soapy silliness, but I still liked it. Ooooo look at Sheila vs Poppy. Not the sister I would like Sheila to square up against, but I liked those scenes. And it felt like foreshadowing because given Sheila wanting to be close to Finn, knowing she wants to be close to a grandchild is screaming that she and Luna will bond. Potential mess for Finn and Steffy. And...Luna and Remy. Well uh hmmmmm. I think Luna was being a little too glib with Remy knowing that he knows. And Remy being fascinated with a murderer is...on brand I guess. Daphne/Carter and Ridge/Taylee total C plot over these few episodes. And I prefer Daphne's attempt to make inroads with Carter over Ridge/Taylee.

Well...looking at the article on the news page for this coming week...

Nope. Not at all. But I'll give credit to the costume designer when it's due. Both him and Josh Morrow have really been popping in their clothes. And I don't know if it's winter bod or they are doing the process of getting bigger to shed the weight for a summer bod, but I don't find it unattractive. Simply noticeable. Though we know I DO check for Joshua Morrow. 😜 Yeah, it's sounding like no much is going on this week. What a lame February Sweeps. BTG for sure took Sweeps for me. Like I've been saying, all the other soaps have paled in comparison. Even GH, which 9 times of 10 has the best February Sweeps, has been horrible until mid-month and I can sense that has colored my viewing of it and why it's been dead last for me to watch. Heck B&B is holding my attention more.

lol. I see that.

I bet she fired off to make them feel as embarrassed as she did. I could see blanks though. As long as it is NOT a fantasy.

Not a thing wrong. I was not at all expecting Picture 2. I see it now. In more ways than one...lmao. As a nerd, I completely understand.

That crossed my mind, too. Moreso given some of the online comments hating just to hate because the people commenting did not see anything but black main characters under the guise of wondering where white characters were. So MVJ beat them to the punch by having a white couple in the first episode. Also, I feel for non-black people who were curious about BTG, but might feel...unsure? if they would try it out, Ashley/Derek could work as a safe space. If that makes sense. But again...I think her intro was intentional from a storyline POV, but also has more layers to it than it first appears. IMHO. Not the best part of the week, but we saw her first day at a job she wanted. We watched her interact with boyfriend, friends-some of who aren't her friends maybe?, interact with her boss, heard her fears, and got to hang with her for-sure-real friends at the bar, before seeing her pass out, carried off by a boyfriend who adores her from Episode 1. Given just who she's connected to rn...Andre, Naomi, now Laura...and their connections to the canvas (Andre-close backstory, Dani, Naomi-police bf, daughter of Dani/Bill, Laura-being her nurse AND friends with Leslie/Eva, Nicole's assistant), Ashley is nicely set-up for something and she's only a MINOR character at the moment. So her intro scenes...bland and all...set up a POV to work with as we get into the meat of it...which just writing those connections out, I would suspect is for the Nicole/Ted/Leslie story, but she could easily be all about her/Andre/Derek. Especially if Dani circles back around to Andre. Poor thing would get ate alive if she does but lmao.

2-24 Well, I lasted 2 minutes into those Adam/Chelesa scenes. And that was just on the basis of how good Mark Grossman's arms looked in that shirt. And no, I'm not here for that 'romance.' Woooow so Giggly Heffa AND Sharon got kidnapped. SMH. I was happy to see Chance connect the dots. And I was here for Mariah speaking for the audience re: Giggly Heffa. Summer don't get to cast stones for her mother given who her mama is. In fact, I enjoyed Mariah vs Summer. Finally, Old Mariah popped out. And trivial note...Josh Morrow looked yummy in that blue shirt. The highlight...not shocking...was Audra telling the truth about Holden to Nate. I thought it was very well done and there was enough wiggle room in the dialogue for reasons Audra did not think anything of telling Nate about it so bonus points for those of us who would be wondering why she had not said anything at the time besides lazy writing. Nate seem like he forgiven her, but not too sure given the look on his face. And Audra said she was honest so she better have been honest. Because Holden is sure to come after her. Given what I've glanced from here of 2-25, this week sounds like it will be a chore. Moreso after the awesomeness of BTG's first week.

Now you know I go up for my Girl of the Diva Hair Toss, but love you more. So...agree. 😜

I think so as well. Haven't people here mentioned that they checked out B&B and Y&R in anticipation for BTG's official start.?
