F*** that dude. Glad he’s getting roasted in the replies.

Yep. I need to break the habit like so many others have. For many longtime viewers, Guza was enough lol. Glutton for punishment right here! Just need to let the Ryan’s Hope YouTube playlist roll during the daytime hours.

This is probably the longest time I’ve actually watched GH on a daily basis since the early 2000s (due to the pandemic and having fewer obligations). But ooof, trash. Can’t do it. Nope. I thought they *might* actually have the balls to really shake things up. Very naive.

Ariana is a nice addition to The Voice, but I’m kinda over that show. It’s always been about the celebs and their banter. Which works if you love the celebs and their chemistry, but it gets old, even with a new panelist every few years. The show I really love is Songland, with a panel of star songwriters like Ryan Tedder judging and workshopping songs with aspiring songwriters, who pitch songs for a different artist each week. It’s a great window into that creative world. I totally agree that ABC saw “old white guy” with Tom, but they didn’t see the value in that particular “old white guy.” If they were aiming for a change, someone with more warmth (like a Nick Cannon or a Cat Deeley, who are great hosts on their Fox shows) would have been better. Last year, I remember Artem’s partner was injured, and he stopped by during the live show to chat with Tyra and update everyone on his partner’s condition. After the interview was over, Artem was just standing there while Tyra was introducing the next performance, and Tyra sorta scooted over so Artem wouldn’t be in her shot. That’s the kinda vibe I get from her.

What’s the point of Ridge siccing Justin on Quinn and Carter?

Which is also telling, yeah, because DWTS has traditionally had an older audience. Even the reliable senior-citizen crowd is bailing, and they’re losing the younger ad demos they’ve been so doggedly pursuing.

By the way, the show premiered much lower than last year, 0.9 in the demo vs. 1.3 last year. Meanwhile, The Voice (with Ariana Grande as a new judge) had a 1.1, down only slightly from a 1.2 last year.

I hate these fücking cheap Wednesday dream episodes.

Josh O’Connor stabbed himself in the forehead with his Emmy. He totally seems like that guy. More in his Variety profile: https://variety.com/2021/tv/awards/josh-oconnor-the-crown-emmys-mothering-sunday-1235070500/

Not to be super dramatic, but it’s a breach of trust. Soaps are asking a lot of viewers to commit to five hours a week in the hopes that stories are going somewhere. If a movie has a crap ending, you’ve only lost two hours lol. There are other stories going on with potential, like you say, but how do we know they aren’t gonna eff those up too, especially with Spencer and Trina, whom I really enjoy? I’m not as loyal to GH as I am to Y&R, which was my very first soap dating back to childhood, so I’m not sure I want to go along for the ride with GH anymore. I dunno. Enjoying the “moments” is one thing and I see how people can stick with the show for those, but GH shows their viewers a lot of disrespect.

What’s notable with these spoilers (and the ones you shared further out) is there’s little to no Nina/Sonny/Carly/Jason. Unless they simply aren’t sharing what happens. It’s almost as if they’re saying, forget the past nine months happened. Nothing to see here. It’s very deflating as a viewer.

They so want those viral moments. I don’t even understand why BAG and Sharna would *want* to dance together. Talk about potentially putting a strain on a new-ish relationship. Maybe BAG wants to brag a bit, considering his ex Megan Fox is all loved up on Machine Gun Kelly everywhere you look.

Oh no! Wow. This year is crazy.

Man, I can’t be bothered with this show LOL. You can’t do nine months of story and have a whoopee-cushion sputter of an ending.

I don’t know why that made me lol so hard, but yes lol.

The ratings have not been fabulous, I think. I’m not able to watch today but this sounds awful.

The Crown swept the Emmys, with wins for Drama Series, Writing, Directing, Olivia Colman (Lead Actress), Josh O’Connor (Actor), Gillian Anderson (Supporting Actress), and Tobias Menzies (Supporting Actor). Menzies, who was absent from the Emmy ceremony, won over the late Michael K. Williams, who had been nominated for Lovecraft Country and actually had been the favorite to win. Menzies accepted the Emmy and offered this tribute to MKW via Twitter:

Totally. Yet, in spite of their toxicity, they were hoisted up like the new Steve and Audrey. It was too boring to be distasteful. I’d love to see Jason and Sonny brutalize each other.

If they don’t mess up the mess, but yes. I’m just glad they blew up Carson, who were just stale and moldy.

Yeah, this show fails on the execution. Again, the ideas are all there for an entertaining show. That seems like a good guess.

Ah yes, I saw Patti’s tribute on Instagram. So sad. They had just performed together. Some sad news for lovers of ‘80s industrial and electronic music:
