Interesting reorganization of the Primetime forum with the streaming services integrated. I do wonder why Fox and FX/Hulu are bunched together when the latter two have been shuttled off to Disney.

I would bet on Jaida. She’s more consistent, professional, and well-rounded than Gigi and Crystal. 
 

Jackie was robbed. I would have loved to see her compete. She offered such a fun, unique perspective, and I thought her lip syncs were fabulous. Like Michelle said, she was Gilda Radner.
 

It’s all shameful because Sherry, in spite of being a disgusting creep and an awful human being, was very talented. (That save when she flubbed her line in the one-woman show: “I just had a horrible stroke and none of you did anything about it!” Hilarious.)

Ugh. I hope they give her a slot in the finale with Sherry disqualified.

Dorinda goes harder with Tinsley than Bethenny did with Kelly Bensimon (bringing out “the heavy artillery against the fly”). The difference is Crazy Kelly deserved it for gratuitously picking fights. Tinsley may not be forthcoming or transparent, but Dorinda is doing waaaaay too much. But that’s a deeper issue that has nothing to do with Tins.

Funny Reddit post that echoes a lot of what’s said here (edit: too long to embed):

Beverlee McKinsey not getting a Lead Actress nomination for GL is the most egregious error by the Daytime Emmys. She could've easily won in 1991, 1992, 1993 as the Lead Actress races in those years were rather weak. Maureen Garrett was nominated for Supporting Actress in 1991, 1992, 1994 but the competition for Supporting Actress in those years was tough.

 

Certainly 1991 and ‘92 Bev could have won. 1993 had Linda Dano (winner) and Ellen Dolan (off the rape story), who were both strong, but she could have had a shot any year. She was the best.

Those early ‘90s Supporting Actress races were stacked. Especially ‘94 with Maureen, Signy Coleman, Sharon Wyatt, and Susan Haskell (the winner).

These witches are way too strategic. 

That’s the thing I don’t like about this show. While I know the “Game of Thrones” exists on all the series to some degree, the BH ladies feel so cold and Machiavellian. Like they’d easily sell each other down the river under the right circumstances.

As much as Michael Zaslow was underappreciated aside from his much-deserved win, Beverlee McKinsey was not once even nominated for playing Alex after being nominated four times in a row for playing Iris on AW. Talk about absurdity. Friggin’ Marj got nominated for playing Alex.
 

I guess they put all their eggs in the Kim Zimmer basket, which paid off with three Emmys from 1985-90.

They hate Kyle on Reddit too, and I feel such schadenfreude.

Patrick Mulcahey looks so cleaned-up and young, lol. 

So funny to see him then looking like a nice young insurance salesman. 40 years later, he’s a leather daddy. All things considered, he’s aged well.

OT: I can’t with how extra both Tony Geary and Robin Strasser were when they won.

OMG. STFU Teddy.

It is scary even when you live in a proactive state but Mississippi, I can only imagine.  I am going to keep good thoughts for your mom, sister and family that they maintain good health and safety.  Hopefully the community will look out for each other and be considerate of one another.

Thank you! I will say that’s what great about her area: people look out for each other. But isolating there can be a struggle. I think folks are scared, though, because people they know are being infected and hospitalized. It’s no longer some crazy thing that’s happening in NYC. My mom was so afraid for me up here, and now the tables have turned.

Much of it is tied to chicken processing plants, which employ a LOT of people in my mom’s county:

Prayers up!  Having my brother struggle with Covid is one of the scariest things I've ever experienced.  He's on the mend...THANK GOODNESS!  

So glad to hear he’s in recovery. I can’t imagine what that’s been like for him, or you.
 

(Thanks for your prayers!)

Also learned that a former co-worker was completely laid out with an illness a couple weeks ago and only just now was informed she had COVID from the antibody test.

Oh no!!! Good energy sending your way.

Thank you! Having an 81-year-old diabetic mother and a sister with lupus/kidney transplant in a COVID hotspot is scary, as I’m sure it’s been for all of us with vulnerable loved ones in hard-hit areas.

My thoughts are with you and your mother as well, @Faulkner.  Now that states are easing up on lockdown restrictions, we all need to exercise more caution.

You're one of my favorite posters even though you're a joker fan..lol. I hope your mom stays safe. My parents had to go out as they were running short  on supplies. I wasn't happy either but they wore their masks and germ x in hand.

Thanks for the love, both of you!
