Perhaps this is a chance to point out that, given your degree from an esteemed acting institution, I have always expected of you to write a nice little "technical" post about who are daytime's good and bad actors and why, in terms of technique, bad habits etc. Somehow it never materialized, LOL.

And look where Mariah is now.

It's funny that the Wikipedia article on her doesn't have a Criticism subsection.

Unfortunately. She also takes it on a whole new (terrifying) level.

Except... How many times exactly can you re-record the same songs? Before becoming niche? And then irrelevant? I find her whole persona completely insane. Almost wretched. The songs could be fun, but the message makes them problematic. Not the political or social one, the bizarre occult references and things like that. Furthermore, her message to troubled teenagers isn't really all right at all. If you're asocial and troubled, you shouldn't be celebrating that, you should be seeking professional help from a licensed psychiatrist. D'oh.

I sincerely hope it does, although I am doubtful at this stage.

She's announcing it as the best album of the decade. What?!

They already are.

Well thanks to Y&RWorldTurner and a quick Google search, here is how to get Gaga's "glamazon look": http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/TheGlossip/archive/2011/02/10/exclusive--the-down-low-on-lady-gaga-s-new--glamazon--look.htm LOL. I like the photo, but the song isn't even dreadful. It's just there. Absolutely blah.

So who do you see running in 2012 even now? From both camps.

So Jonas Åkerlund directed the video... The dress has me intrigued: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1657286/britney-spears-hold-it-against-me.jhtml

No Camille? That's awful! Who's going to be vapid and a bit nasty in a fun-to-watch way?

You've all heard that Camilla will make a cameo in The Archers. http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2011/feb/02/archers-addict-camilla-ambridge-cameo

Yes. I will give it a try, but I'm not optimistic. Too bad. I feel as if it's an opportunity missed.

I know! He's also a terrible interviewer, I forgot to add. All this being said, I could do away with all these ladies. Bring in a whole new crew and I'd be happy! Though I would miss the pernicious Camille! The 'cast' looks bland. I was hoping for something hotter.

Why wouldn't it be natural to talk about her too? The side-by-side comparison seems effective in this case. No? Speculations are running wild: people are mentioning drugs, sexual preference of certain people in that triangle, knives and stabbing. It's awful. Well, I don't. LOL. Mine would be too. I just wanted to clearly point out how interestingly fishy it all is.

I just think you've... lost interest in SON. It's as if at a certain point you just couldn't be bothered. You loved DOOL, posted only about DOOL, that produced a few if any results at all, there were just Cat and Dr. Daytime posting in those threads and you could tell their opinions without reading them. I don't know. Just like everyone else, you've just deserted the place. I don't. She was nasty, she made terrible comments. The psychic was a hired gun. I wrote about it before. Yet... And I know it doesn't make things any better, but Kyle did the same. It was just a pre-set battle. Camille/psychic vs. Kyle/decorator. I guess I'm constantly pushing Kyle into it because – you're not. For several reasons, whether it's really true or not, the story about Camille being vicious and vile doesn't hold up. As much as it used to.

Also, people mention how Lisa set Kim with Martin to make fun of her. Might be a long way from the truth, but wouldn't surprise me if she did do it intentionally, nefariously and with a clear plan in her mind.

Apparently not. God knows I'm not saying it was wrong to say no, but it the way to do it was. I win. Plenty. Plenty of stuff about this fishy business Kyle calls "private stuff". So much about it doesn't add up. You are free to ignore it, but I am free to be very annoyed by you ignoring it and painting it pink. I know you do. And it's annoying. LOL. His a bit too... Forced. He came off as forced and unnatural as a host, it just didn't flow. It was question A then answer, question B then answer, just forced, unnatural, with no flow. Add to that those bizarre add-ins, as in him wanting to kiss Nick and that other thing about Lisa's house or something in the previous part of the Reunion. He's a bit too self-enamoured, and I detest that.

Jack, you are so wrong. Which is something I thought would never happen, but ever since your DOOL love started to reflourish, it started happening a bit more frequently than I'm used to. That's the thing: I don't think she does belive she is blameless and faultless. I seriously don't. She even admitted of being wrong, sometimes very effectively. Sometimes, though, laboriously. Which you can't say about Kyle, who came out awfully. Just awfully. You are wrong about this. And I think you know it. You try to push your view, but it ain't working. For me, anyway. Oh, they do. There was so much built up pain and depression when both of them cried, you could read it on their faces. And just two minutes ago I read this comment: Take that as you will.

But why, Jack? Camille seems right up your alley. I'm really sad about Lisa and Ken. I was even before this episode, they increasingly seemed to me like a couple of sad, retired people. I remember some people in this thread liked Cedric from the beginning, but to me – that was always a very off relationship. He seemed completely fake from the beginning, but I didn't want to push it. It's the first thing I've asked in this thread Camille definitely has an amazing team behind her because she got out of the season looking even likeable. Second best, after Adrienne. The dinner, however, destroys her utterly, so many things about it were so wrong. So do those awkward eye lid movements she makes when she apologizes, they always make you doubt the sincerity. Kyle, on the other hand, came like a completely different person. The photos on her BlackBerry didn't help. That was vulgar, nasty and cheap. Poor Kim. Andy trying to set her up with one of the Maloof brothers and Adrienne basically saying: No way, that's never gonna happen. She could've chosen a different way to put it. I often feel like this thread misses the point and goes around important issues: I mean, no one asked about the house Kyle supposedly stole from Kim. How come no one noticed or wasn't intrigued about it? That's just one thing in a bucket full of them. The whole reunion was really nauseating, it left a bitter taste in one's mouth. Andy's voice irritates me. As does the way he elongates certain words or something.
