A new No. 1.

Ben’s smile while driving that car was creepy af. If they are aiming for romantic, they are missing the mark by quite a bit. Theo is always an afterthought. I thought DF was a bit shouty but good. There’s zero connection between him and Alison Sweeney, though, even though I think they both gave that scene their all.

So Sally has lost Jack and Lauren for good; she’s vowed revenge once again to Phyllis; we saw Nick annoyed that Phyllis left the Grand Phoenix with Jack… …they HAVE to be setting up a Sally/Nick affair, right? They’d be insane not to be. And Sally should go work for Adam (which would mean she’d be working with Nick, which would annoy Phyllis to no end). And I hear

I’ve posted him before but Pablo from Brazil 🇧🇷

Sinner almost choked this match away.

Indeed. Especially to team up against Phyllis. And if Sally decided to pursue Nick, Adam could help Sally manipulate him.

Wow. Mackie McDonald beat Kei. Makes his first ATP final and will play Jannik Sinner.

You’re both right that their hand was forced by the contractual issues. They really bet on the wrong horse with this story because it’s absolutely dominated the show over the past few months, and they’re left with… this. Tara was such a dreary miscast that I can’t imagine this being drawn out for months and months. (I feared they’d latch her on to Jack to save the character. Glad they weren’t that invested in her.) Usually, low-energy actors spark when their characters go from good to bad, and EL still flatlined every scene she was in after Tara went full-on villain. They could have had Sally target Nick, but if they’re going there, they’re doing a pretty crappy job of moving in that direction. This is the second or third time this year they’ve had to bail on a story because they had issues with the cast (the Chabby marital drama surrounding the baby being the other, and we see how they’ve tried to salvage that one).

Folks are leaving us.

I’ve heard very good things about the clubs in Shanghai. Although I think I’d prefer Taipei. Great gay scene without the authoritarianism lol.

Was Prakash twerking for Coco G?

Indeed. The Chinese rowers. 🇨🇳 231844205_538730614000686_5222815229941504101_n.mp4

So they’re cutting their losses? All for the best, but the show is still an aimless disaster.

Word. Things just feel thrown in (see Justin’s sudden plot against Bill, which at least made *some* sense, yet it’s been seemingly abandoned). “Make it up as you go along” feels like the CBS way these days.

That’s a shame. He loves you. He’s knitting you a jumper. I’ve always found that relationship strange.

The Chinese divers outclass everyone. But why do you hate Tom Daley so much? Lol. If he had blond hair, he’d be firmly in your twink wheelhouse. 😉

Reminds me of the mid-2000s…
