bx he was good. So far he is 2nd best right after Jordin for me.

Im starting to get over Melinda. I think she is one that peaked to early. Ive begun to notice that she really doesnt have much range adn each week seems to sound the same. IA with Simon and that she appeared much older than she is.

Cant argue there. I hope Chris, Jordin and Blake are safe. Sanjaya will be and for once he deserves it. I think Haley is a goner. I like her and she's cute and fun but she isnt that great vocally. I think Phil and Lakisha will join her in the bottom 3

IA with what everyone else said. I think Melinda kind of crossed the line with her comment. For one, she threw the innocent and completely nice image out of the window (something Jordin has kept). She could have just said that she appreciates what Simon has to say, now when she tries to act all "wow" you wonder if it is real or not.

I thought Chris wasn't that great either, but he wasn't bad. Blake was good and Phil was too surprisingly. Simon was right on as usual with all of his comments, especially calling Hayley out (she was bad and besides her legs she's not looking that hot any more must be too much make up). I think Hayley is out.

(1) Blake Lewis ---- by far the best tonight (I'd give him 20 instead of a 10). He's current and did have the best song pick and performance tonight. 1st time I've picked a guy as 1st place this season.

(2) TIE Melinda Doolittle ----- Very good as usual, but I'm starting to think she might do well on today's charts. She always has feeling in her songs. Was a little surprised that she did convey sexiness on "Sway".

& Lakisha Jones ----- Very good tonight too. She did "Conga" very well IMHO.

(4) Jordin Sparks ----- very good tonight as well. Nice to see her put her own spin on "Rhythm Is Gonna Getcha"

(5) TIE Chris Richardson ------ good, but I don't think he followed Jennifer Lopez's advice to sing in higher key, which he should've done.

SHOCKINGLY ----- Sanjaya Malakar ----- he was actually quite good tonight. Color me "SHOCKED!"

MY BOTTOM 2

(7) Phil Stacey ---- again, pretty bad. I think he's only still in this competition because he's in the military. I think Republicans are voting for him as Rolling Stone stated in their new issue I received yesterday.

(8) Haley Scanato------horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible ho, pitiful------karoke yes, tone-deaf. Agree with Simon, that you couldn't tell what she saying in half of the song and with Simon's comment about her not being able to wear much less. This thing should have been voted off weeks ago.

Crossed the line WTF??!??!? Melinda was dead on with Simon. Simon said just last week that he didn't think he'd get to critisize Melinda and then did so tonight. He looked pissed from the get-go, the camera showed him right whene she began. Simon was absolutley horrible to Melinda. She was very good as always. Most of Simon's comments (except for those about Blake & Sanjaya) were absolutley WRONG. His comments were as bad as Paula's were tonight IMHO.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
