YRBB

Yes, a transition to the worst, most mind-numbing season yet! Just the names Nicole, Allegra and Ashley are enough to make me shudder. Sadly, there wasn't really anything there to actually miss about Mark. A huge, wasted opportunity for both his years on the show.

Oh, no. No no no no no. Abby's protective mother side was just one of her many dimensions but she was often not very good at it as well. Abby was at her absolute best when she wanted something. Usually something she shouldn't have. When she schemed & lied so convincingly and, yet, you knew. I have no words to describe what a great soap opera moment that is and how visually stunning it was (and that music!).

I love MELROSE's nasty, trashy, soapy dialogue. Taylor: "Amanda, I'm SO sorry Kyle stood you up at the altar!" Amanda: "All roads lead to Taylor McBride." Michael: "Megan, don't be angry, but you've got that 'Someone called me a hooker' look." Ugh, Megan is such a dumb ho for going back to Michael but I do like them together. The whole plot with Spider & the Mancini Medical Center is so damn stupid. Yes! Taylor's the one who orchestrated the Christine plan. Nick is 10x more interesting than Kyle. It's sort of weirdly sweet that he wants to use this whole plan to be best buds with Kyle again. The Billy/Sam/Jennifer/Jeff mess is unbelievably boring. The whole show is again, after a good stretch of episodes. YES at Coop being offered in secret 10 million dollars if he manages to remarry Lexi. That's fun! Nick? Or Billy? Ah! Thanks. I was going to ask because I thought I remembered something like that but, then, I told myself it can't be so. Wow. Poor AS can't even make actual, established backstory that we saw ring true and work.

Season 6 Nick Reardon is a great recurring character for this show (and so, so sexy). And he just showed up and f-cked Susan Walters on her hospital bed (nothing says sexy like an IV), revealing that they're in cahoots. That was such a Season 3 moment. And did Billy just say he used to teach ballroom dancing. Did he really just say that??? God, what a useless lug he is.

RHBH Lisa Vander-fabulous-pump took that fool Brandi and wiped the floor with her--and she didn't even have to lose any class, be nasty or even derogatory at all. Yes, boo, that's how you do it. I knew it was the right decision to watch because of her (and LisaLips and Eileen). I agree that Kyle was an idiot to get involved. If I were Lisa, I would have reacted the same way to hearing Kyle was there, privy to this conversation. Kyle better work to make this right. Way too little of Eileen but the show is not The Eileen Davidson Show, so that's fine. I can't wait for them to reveal more. It doesn't sound like she and her husband necessarily have problems, though. Bickering does not equal disaster in a marriage. It's more of a dynamic, which some people have and some people don't. All I'm hoping is that Eileen the HousewivesPerson doesn't end up coming off negatively and affecting Eileen the Actress in my eyes. LisaLips is greatgreatgreat. Wonderful to watch. Comes off real, nice, funny (in that LisaRinna sort of way) and a joy to observe. And how funny was the call from her mother: It seems the two of them are exactly the same person, at least where their humor is concerned Yolanda is another highlight: I have been enjoying this light material with her trying to be positive, her daughters and then this stuff about her mom (which may or may not turn for the worse in the next episode). Um, Kim: Whatever. I did really like Kathy. I thought Mauricio was hot the past couple of episodes but I saw his teeth in this one and I'll pass (for now. I reserve the right to become thirsty for him again at some later point). Moving Forward Count of the Week: 2

That is not the image I should have in my mind before going to bed....

Were those bitches serious, stalking J.R.? Hiding in bushes and behind curtains. And it all magically helped Brandi get past him. Adrienne reminds me a lot of Marysol and Elsa from MIAMI (what is going on with that? Haven't seen season 3 yet and I miss it!). Mauricio is a hottie. Grrrr. I really like that she's just there to find work and make money. Yes and YES.

Decided to start with this season's BH. Thought it was an interesting episode but I have very little prior knowledge of any of the women. Kyle wanting to be friends with Lisa again seemed genuine. Don't think being drama-free will last, though. Is Lisa serious with that Bitch Boudoir of hers? She is [!@#$%^&*] fierce! She's the main reason I picked this up and I'm not sorry. "I know me and I can go there, like the little anorexic, barking Chihuahua" Anorexic? Hunni, please. The ladies dancing near the end of episode 1 was very visually rich and striking. LisaLips is so much fun. I love that she finds her jokes funny.

Just saw it today for the first time & I think it looks great.

YES!!! I even said it while singing a lot and then had to go, wait... huh?

If it makes you feel any better, I don't want to like Shake It Off cos of the lyrics but... yep....

It is official. Shake It Off and Blank Space just refuse to stop being played in my head. I wasn't crazy about Red but this...

Oh, Jesus.

Hooray! (as long as they keep their 'humorous' shtick well in check)

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jesus Christ, Ronn, my eyes. MY EYES.

It took me a while to catch up because I heard it was a Beth-centric episode and I couldn't have that. It turned out to be better than I thought and the work done on Beth was great (although the actress remains pretty much the same). The episode got Noah/Beth right, the casting was excellent, there were indeed some very exciting moments but also it was sorta boring and I ended up spending the whole time wondering what the point was. Great little twist at the end, though.

LOOKING is back January 11 at 10pm!

Explanation on the Bran move for season 5 http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/11/05/game-of-thrones-why-bran-season-5/ As expected (although I do hate that we live in a time & age where so much is revealed, dissected and analyzed so far in advance and there is almost no hope of hiding anything anymore).

Wow, you took me way, way back.

So Taylor McBride has arrived in BH. Rina's acting experience will come useful. I am tempted to watch.

Ellen's Halloween costume & Halloween set are amazing! Loving it so. much.

This episode was so full of great character moments & interactions. It was what I enjoyed the most. UGH! Clayton Norcross on The Walking Dead. Grab me a sick bag! The ending with Bob being eaten was so shocking and gross. The show still delivers.

Meteor was so good! From David's self-flagellation, to Emily's tearful reaction when she saw him that was so touching. I'm glad David wasn't just being stupid by walking into the store, shoplifting and getting caught but that it was a part of his plan. REVENGE seems to excel at this trashy kind of white woman characters. Louise may be much richer than Amanda but they seem similar somehow lol Daniel has no idea what he's gotten himself into. Such a great moment when Victoria and Charlotte join David at the press conference--"She got to him first." Yes! It was a beat that needed to be played and I'm glad they did it.

So where's that incredible, shinning star of an actor known as Michael Muhney? Is primetime (or other soaps) begging to have him? Has he conquered the whole world with his sexy, unstoppable talent yet?
