I wasn’t into it either, but Brandy is the MVP IMO. The ladies are all good, but I feel like I’ve seen it all before a gazillion times. And it needs to be on streaming or cable, so we can really see them cuss each other out. It’s too prissy and PG for a soapy hip-hop series.

Joyce Guy is so Zen while Vernee is such a firecracker. I’d love to see how they’d play off each other’s energy.

Indeed. A problem on all these shows, but ESPECIALLY on B&B. They certainly should have been peppering in Carter/Katie scenes before this. Even just giving Quinn some bitchy run-ins with Katie that Carter witnessed would have been better.

I think it’s a huge problem with the show. The newer professional dancers haven’t been properly introduced. In the past, we had the two episodes a week, which gave them more space to do more professionals-only dance performances, etc. I almost feel like they should cut the cast to 10 or fewer due to the fewer episodes. It would feel less rushed. Interestingly, DWTS beat The Voice on Monday in the demo and tied with 9-1-1 for tops on the night. The Voice tends to wane after the blind auditions, but still.

Raphael Santana from Brazil 🇧🇷

Can’t stand her but that’s kinda brilliant. She certainly knows how to produce an unforgettable reality-TV moment and self-promote, for better or for worse.

Could be. It reads as somewhat puzzling. But these things are subjective. These are soaps, after all, and shirtless hunks have been part of the deal for as long as I can remember. JT isn’t bad, but he doesn’t exactly scratch the same itches as Shemar Moore, Don Diamont, Nick Scotti, Josh Morrow, J. Eddie PECK, Scott Reeves, Eddie Cibrian, Thad Luckinbill upon his last return, KSJ, early Doug Davidson, Philip Moon, CLB, Justin Hartley, et al. (Or Ron Carlivati’s parade of himbos on DAYS, Carter/Thomas/Finn on B&B, Drew/Brando/Curtis/Chase/Dante on GH—although GH has become slightly more demure lately, save for Cameron Mathison’s bruised/bloodied torso on constant display lately.)

This is a good point lol.

OMG, that’s something I didn’t know I needed but now I’m OBSESSED with the thought. 😂

I guess folks were meh over Natalie Morales as The Talk’s new moderator. Between that, going co-ed, and Amanda Kloots on Dancing with the Stars, they’re going all out to little effect.

Just saw Camila came back and won it.

Right! Totally forgot. One Aussie for another.

Yeah, someone like Debra Messing probably wouldn’t secure international investors (or Oscar buzz), but NK would. I’ve heard other people suggest Cate Blanchett.

Yeah, they really wanted to keep her face hidden. I can hear that she tried to do the voice, which, ok…

It’s just funny that I seem to see him in shirtless scenes far more than more conventionally ripped/jacked guys on the show. They do show Bryton shirtless a good bit, but not Sean Dominic, who has the best body on the show IMO, because they don’t write much for Nate, and they don’t tend to do the gratuitous nudity like the other soaps. (Y&R certainly did in the past.) Michael Mealor is gone, and they refuse to sexualize Richard Burgi, who’s in amazing shape. I don’t even remember what Adam looks like with his shirt off because they made him into a eunuch. I’m tired of the coitus interruptus with him and Sally.

Anything! This is incredible. She completely transformed Dave Matthews.

The Carter/Katie scenes were actually pretty good today.

Lord, what happened?

First teaser… hmm. First poster:

This show loves to get Jason Thompson shirtless. LOL how quick was Billy and Lily’s second round of lovemaking supposed to be? The time elapsed for Nate and Elena’s chat was not that long.

They polled 206 TV experts from 43 countries. The shows had to start after 2000, which excludes shows like The Sopranos. Here’s the top 10: 1 The Wire (2002-2008) 2 Mad Men (2007-2015) 3 Breaking Bad (2008-2013) 4 Fleabag (2016-2019) 5 Game of Thrones (2011-2019) 6 I May Destroy You (2020) 7 The Leftovers (2014-2017) 8 The Americans (2013-2018) 9 The Office (UK) (2001-2003) 10 Succession (2018-)

Indeed. The View is a well-documented hellhole, but a five-year-old could tell Meghan was a huge part of the problem during her tenure. Partially because she acted like a five-year-old.
