LOL!

I keep hoping. I really do. There are occasional GREAT episodes.

And that's the sad thing. There shouldn't be occassionally "good episodes." It should be good all the time, or at least the way it used to be when I started watching.....6 months good, 3 months bad, 3 months watchable. Now it's like, every day is bad with maybe one good week.

Can someone explain the Jackie/Owen story? I know they were originally sleeping together for fun. Then she starts forcing him to sleep with her. Then they had feelings for each other. And now the show is saying he doesn't actually want Jackie and he's just using her?

Pretty much, but I missed the part where he's using her.

I think it's funny that [stephanie]"Jacqueline Payne was a whore?"[/stephanie] and she pretty much did the same thing with Owen by making him her rent boy.

I thought they were setting it up with Nick's suspicions. I hope he's not using her.

Bridget and Nick....boring

Ridge popping pills...ummm...ok...boring

Jackie and Owen....yawn

Rick still [!@#$%^&*] Ridge's daughter...irritating and boring....

What's left??

Oh damn, I was hoping it was just me confused. But they are actually writing it this inconsistently. Not even a naked Beemer can redeem this tale.

Did you hear Taylor offer to PRESCRIBE RIDGE HIS OWN DOSE? After determining he was using too much of hers! WTF??? Does Brad Bell want to grind the character of Taylor into dust, so NOBODY gives a sh!t about what happens to her?

I confess...I want to see Ridge strung out. I want to see him high. I want to see him in agonized withdrawal. I want to see him in an intervention scene with his family around him. I want to see ALL the high-drama drug addiction with him. For he will be GHASTLY in each and every scene...screwed up face and all. And it will be CLASSIC, albeit not in a good way.

ETA: WHAT was up with Taylor's dress today? And did she wear a sports bra to slightly mash down her shelf-bosom?

I hate to hijack this thread with irrelevant information, but is True Blood really that good. I keep hearing about it.

It's really quite good, but it depends on your tastes. I know people who love it and people who just aren't feeling it at all. You could always rent season 1 and see if it suits you.

I had zero zero interest in a vampire show. Couldn't care a less.

And then I saw True Blood. Funny, sexy, perverse, salty, with a shocking cliffhanger EVERY WEEK. Alan Ball realizes he's writing a soap with "Pulp Fiction" notes, and he plays it to the hilt. The thing is beautifully cast, ESPECIALLY the actors who play "Tara" and "Lafayette. Guiding Light fans will love that Michelle Forbes is now a regular (and of course B&B's AJ just started). Even the himbo-brother-of-the-lead-heroine is played by an Aussie hunk who started on Australian soaps (Ryan Kwanten).

This is not a show you can "preview". You have to SEE it and get to know the characters (like a soap). But, with that caveat....

Okay, okay I'm checking this one out! Plus I was a HUGE Buffy fan (oh how Sarah Michelle Gellar was shamefully neglected by the Emmy's), so this should be fun.

Damnit! Just when I was ready to take a week off from watching this cycle of nonsense, I see the promo for

Donna and Pam on The Price is Right

during Y&R. It probably won't be as good as

Keith and Gina on Wheel of Fortune

, but it will at least be fun to watch. Even if everything else sucks.

I wonder if they used a TPIR director or whether they used a B&B director for the scenes.

I'm looking forward to this a lot.

Somewhere I read B&B will do a two day camp deluxe thing out of this. THey better deliver!

LOL.

I would have rather had them do "Pyramid" or "Let's Make a Deal," whichever game show they are slated to greenlight.

But knowing Brad's penchant for repeating history over and over and over again, that will probably be next if this goes over well.

So far two half naked men...mmmm..good start..and the only part of the show I like today.

Let me guess, they were Sky Lounge Extras, right? Or was it Owen and Nick finally giving each other that rubdown they both, deep down, know they want to give to each other? LOL.

It was Owen and Nick. Damn Owen might as well have been naked. Those briefs he was wearing were so small and low cut.

Damn, am I good at guessing or what?

I'm surprised they don't make Brandon Beemer wear boxers. I mean, seriously, his stuff is ALL OUT THERE. No matter what way they try to shoot it, you can visibly see it. It's like the white elephant in the room.

Haha..so true. The guy is hung!
