Well, I wouldn't go that far Kenny. There have been many people with issues such as that who are famous and successful. Once she gets with someone who can help her, she will be fine. I don't see her winning anyway as she isn't as likeable as some of the others (especiall Jordin and Melinda) but I think she has improved quite a bit in terms of the way she is in interviews and such.

I wouldn't say Jordin and Melinda is a slam dunk. Those are my two as well but Blake can easily knock one of them out.

Phil - just as boring as ever. He sucked tonight. The judges are on crack. I think they are building up the other people in the competition who suck so Sanjaya will go this week.

Jordin - a little boring in the beginning, but it picked up. I haven't watched every week, but she impresses me every week I do. I really love her. She should be in the final three, if it's based solely on talent. She can be the idol. She has the look, the voice, the talent, the humor, the personality, and the potential.

Sanjaya - hilarious. I love when he flirts with girls and tries to make the songs about girls when he clearly loves boys. I will say it takes guts to come out so positively every week. I am glad Simon was blunt this week. Love Simon.

Lakishia - boring. I don't like her. She should have learned from whatshername from last season. Never pick an Idol's song!!! I don't think she is humble at all.

Chris - I don't think Country is his thing. I love him, but I really wonder if he wants this. He doesn't have the desire and ambition the others do. F Idol. Do Playgirl.

Melinda - What is there to say? She's never looked better either. Give her a free pass to the final two.

Blake - That's not even a country song originally, moron!! (Much love to Ryan Adams, the original writer/performer.) He's not that great. I'm sorry. I hate the way he drabs and draws things out. And I HATE his mouth when he sings. I also hate how he never changes his performance at all. It's the same stupid thing every week.

Ryan Seacrest, I really cannot wait for five years down the line when you are on the unemployment line being a big loser because it's what you are, and it's what you deserve!!!

Everyone but Jordin and Melinda deserve to be in the bottom three.

The world is so cynical. Chris is from Virginia and probably has friends at Virginia Tech. If he hadn't said anything, people would probably be complaining about that.

I thought Lakisha was the worst. Hearing her sing a Carrie song showed me she is not going to win this thing. I just don't like Phil so I don't think he could do anything to change that. I was hoping Sanjaya would sing a real country song and wear a cowboy hat. What a let down.

While I'm sure that the condolences sent by Chris were heartfelt, I'm sure that a small part of him knew that it would work in his advantage by winning sympathy votes. Did anyone notice how Chris more or less interrupted the judges critique of him to bring up the Virginia Tech situation? As soon as Simon said something bad about him, he jumped in with the condolences line... seemed VERY obvious to me that he was trying to cut Simon off at the pass.

I just found out my 11 year old niece has been voting for Sanjaya and I've threatened to throw her cell phone into Lake Michigan. She says "but he's soo cuuuuuute". I'm to the point I can't even look at that kid any more. And I hate Ryan Seacrest even more than I already did because of the way he's been pimping him. I'm so glad Simon shut him up last night. Sanjaya started out as kind of a sweet, clueless young boy who seemed to have a little charm. Now he's an egotistical, arrogant, smirking kid not smart enough to realize he's become a huge joke. Fun and games are over, he needs to leave tonight.

But you no what is so bad about this whole ordeal...Randy, Simon and Paula put Sanjaya through to the top! They could have easily saw how horrible he would have been. They are all supposed to be so good at picking the next big star why did they screw up here. I place some blame at their feet.

    • 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.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
