Terrible classic episode choice.

So where are all the B&B stans who bragged last week about taking over the #1 spot from Y&R? Without pre-emptions and shortened shows, apparently they can’t lead the ratings two weeks in a row.

I enjoyed Ambitions a lot, and think it deserved a 2nd season.

Honestly, I think Robin Givens was a mistake as the lead. I’ve liked her in other roles, but as a lead here, she was just too much. The purring, campy voice came out way too often, and I think she hurt the show.

i know I’m in the minority here, but she didn’t work for me.

God, that’s an eye-rolling quote. And Chandler is a fun dude? I guess that means he smirks and grins through every scene.

Y&R losing #1 is a clear sign that Josh Griffith needs to go.

 

Not digging the Kansas rewrite to create another Victor/Adam conflict. Hopefully it'll blow up in Adam's face.

 

The rest of the storylines are garbage time.

Y&R has problems, but it did not lose #1. Those ratings last week were worthless, because Y&R was pre-empted or shortened most days. The ratings that came out today showed a huge surge for #Y&R and it’s securely back on top.

i don’t like the Adam/Victor storyline either. They’ve gone this complete ruination route too many times. I really think the writing has let down Mark Grossman. He’s a great Adam, but his first months were just incredible— there was this mystery and strength about him that’s now gone.

This Adam seems immature and childish and selfish, but without that mystery and strength. I blame the writing.

They're determined to make S2 unlikable - she was written as a complete psycho in Thursday's episode. It was all over the place just today S2 mentioned loving Wyatt, saving Wyatt from 'baby stealer,' sending flowers to Flo, how easy it was to manipulate Katie, actually having real symptoms, badgering that doctor, the WALKER and makeup.

 

Since B&B is literal - S2 'fake' sees a snake, we learn the only thing that scare her are snakes (really?) and Wyatt mentions that to Flo, who will like be on her way to an exotic pet store by Friday! 

 

Bottom line: CH is great, despite this mess because Thally is really the goal here.   

Yeah, crazy Sally is too much for me. B&B ruins female characters by the boatload.

It was fun for about 20 minutes, but by then it was clearly an April Fools joke and grew stale. By the end I was annoyed.

it just didn’t work.

How many times are people gonna pull guns on each other? This is getting ridiculous. Reminds me of this South Park episode where everyone pulls guns on each other. 

 

I agree. It’s just so damn ridiculous with all these guns. Also ridiculous?  Characters having their minds taken over by someone else. This show has been a suckfest.

Quinn is the best thing on B&B right now.  I am happy they are finally playing her.

I don’t like the way Rena Sofer is playing Quinn at all right now. I want her to be meaner, more serious, on a mission.

Instead she smiles like a 10 year old mean girl who’s pranking the neighbor. It’s just awful.

That’s hysterical that B&B surpassed Y&R. It has been building for the last year since the stupid re-hiring of Griffith, who failed twice before as headwriter. Hadn’t Y&R been #1 in viewers every single week for thousands of weeks in a row?? Now that record is shattered. What have though done CBS by allowing Griffith to stay?

I repeat, the week’s ratings are worthless and I’m guessing CBS is ignoring them.

There is NO WAY Y&R loses over 200k viewers in one week whole BOLD picks up over 400k. The only explanation is that Y&R was pre-empted or cut a

most every day.

Wow at the just-posted ratings. And it’s behind both B&B and GH in 25-54.

Those ratings are worthless. YR was pre-empted or shortened 3 or 4 days, and one day it aired for only 4 minutes. The ratings show an enormous loss of over 200k for the week while B&B picks up more than 400k. 
 

Sorry, that makes no sense, and is proof the ratings for that week should be ignored.

These ratings are completely worthless. WAY too many YR pre-emptions and interruptions to mean anything.

You mean the same week YR loses 250k viewers, BOLD picks up over 400k? Sorry — that makes no sense. None. 
 

YR hasn’t been good, but I’ll still take it before B&B, which to me is a repetitive, ridiculous POS. If YR was written that way, people would lose their sh-it over how bad it is.

I'm not digging this rewrite of Cliff's death in order to create Adam vs. Victor round whatever.

It’s really bad. Adam would go through all, this to paint Victor as a murderer — after we just finished with a storyline where Adam almost killed Victor with drugs???

No lies. I hate Kevin. I don't share the dislike for Rikaart though. Leo on DAYS was a much better fit for him. I was so upset to hear he was coming to DAYS but man was Leo a breath of creepy fresh air.

Agree with you about Rikaart on DAYS. Kevin on YR is tired, but I’d hardly call him corrosive. I do think the criticism over his mean tweet is just ridiculous, especially since Rikaart has shown himself to be a pretty damn good person.

As far as tired on YR goes, so is the Mariah and Tessa relationship. My God, I think it sucks, and these recent scenes made me cringe.

i mean, Mariah walks on stage at a concert and outs Tessa for being cheated on in front of a huge audience??? THIS is a love affair??? Who DOES that? Just horrible writing.

Donna was so ridiculous in her over the top reaction to seeing Brooke kiss Bill, and the entire scene with the changing photos on the scene screamed 2005. Awful.

Also awful? Dumb looking Penny, who seems more like a girl on spring break than a doctor. Being so flippant about hating her career in medicine because she wants to be in fashion? Pitiful writing.

Will’s smirking is awful, but Sonny is not hot.

Thanks. Rolling my eyes at the story. 

You should, because it’s terrible. At some point in every story, Brad Bell writes the female as a horrible piece of crap.

Sorry, but Greg Rikaart didn’t kill anyone or ruin their reputation. He wrote a da,n tweet that was gay and salty.

The End.

I’m sick of people going to jail on this show. I mean, it’s just ridiculous.

And the docks? People still go there to hang with all the shootings going on? Really?

Cam and Trina look good together, but that first romantic kiss was a big fail. Both of them pursed their lips so tight I started laughing. They practically missed each others’ lips, too. Someone needs direction.

Is it just me, or did that come completely out of the blue? Seriously, there's been absolutely no hint. OC, I love it because it takes a lot to surprise me.

 

Quote I love from next week: 

  Hide contents

Quinn: "As they say, payback is a YOU!"

 

It’s AWFUL writing, in my opinion. Why can’t a poorly treated woman on this show just walk out on a guy and give him the finger while telling him to kiss her ass? Women are always turned into horrible witches exacting revenge. 
 

This is not in character for Sally and makes her seem like a rotten person.

Keeping it classy Greg... let's put it down to him not feeling well.

Greg Rikaart is a good guy, and I have no problem with him answering a rude mean girl this way. She was bitchy and he responded. So what?

He didn’t attack her personally, but made it clear that she was ignorant. Soap Twitter can get out of hand, so why shouldn’t he respond in kind.

There is NOTHING here to fire him for, either.

I still can’t make sense out of these ratings. In the 3 listed demos, YR shows a total audience gain of +4000.  However, in total audience, it has a total of -55,000.

So what demo has the big loss if those listed show a GAIN? Are we supposed to believe that all the loss occurred in the over-55 age demo???

And how does it make sense that only that demo would show huge losses? Sorry, I think their sample must be reall6 small, and it just doesn’t work.

Wow! That is A LOT! Thank you for recapping all of that for me! Damn, Phyllis has really been around the block and back again many times! That is crazy! I remember JT from many years ago. I do remember vaguely Victoria with him (it was probably the first time she was). Yes, Diane Jenkins, I remember her! I think she was also involved with Victor at one point. Oh yea, I remember Nina was with Jill's son Phillip and then had his son who was also phillip. I used to love Nina and Ryan. I dont remember at all Neil and Dru adopting a child. I only  remember them having Lily. It must have been after I stopped watching the show. Well maybe this time they can make Phyllis and Nick stick? I hate it when they constantly break up couples and put them back together. Once or twice, okay, but more than that is too much.

also I agree with you about Amanda and Nate. I cant stand Billy and they dont have much chemistry. I sense they are going in the direction of a love triangle, though. I hate Nate's hair, though. I dont know what it with the guys on this show but most of them have terrible hair lol

You hate Nate’s hair? HUH???
