I like UB but last night's episode was probably the weakest, most boring so far. Carstanjen (sp?) seemed even more clueless than most; he was certainly the blandest. But now I compare them all to the Joe DePinto/7-Eleven episode, which was my favorite. These CEOs are taking a heck of a gamble. Sure, it's basically a one hour commercial. But I don't think Coby Brooks, for instance, did himself or Hooters any favors. Granted, I don't think there's a whole lot you can do to change people's opinions, whatever they may be, about Hooters. And it revealed that Brooks inherited it rather reluctantly from his father whom he hadn't gotten along with anyway. If anything, that show probably cost him customers. It certainly seems to have made some people angry over the way that misogynist manager was (not) handled. Big contrast with DePinto, from a blue-collar background who had to work his way up...probably the one out of all the CEOS so far that didn't seem to have his head totally up his a$$. Score some major feelgood for DePinto and 7-Eleven.

I saw they renewed the show for a second season but now that it's on air, how the heck are they going to fool anyone when a guy shows up for a job with a camera crew following him around?

I too thought last night's show was weak. I did hear about the 2nd season announcement. I dont know how they will do it with the cameras present. I think its a good show. I am glad it will be on for another season.

    • 5-6   Meh. It already looks like a scattershot week.    5-5 was actually a good episode. Damian and Lily. Phyllis finally going on the warpath that I knew she could get on with Billy and Sally. Nate started to question Audra and Victor's alliance. And I was not even bugged by Kyle and Claire.   But then there's Cole's off-screen story. Kyle and Claire going back to being whiny. And them even wanting Adam's penthouse just sounded like trying to keep the set around. And Diane shouldn't even give a flying frak about Billy's opinion. And Tessa, Daniel, and the guitars...yeeeah no.   But hey...JM looked good in that short. And those pants.  I agree. One of Y&R's good points with fans has always been that you do at least see the vets. And IN stories. 
    • One of the things that I found unnecessary and a bit disturbing about Ambitions was that in almost every episode someone was holding or shooting a gun.  Jamey and Ron seem to have the same fetish.
    • I had thought that there was a Tommy Biddles on there, but then I realized I was thinking of Dr. Biddles on Santa Barbara. Never mind!

    • I have watched the scene where Vanessa reads the letter and it's lovely, but I'm really glad now that I never got around to watching the funeral. Henry ADORED Nola! He treated her like a daughter and Stacy like a granddaughter. That's why Vanessa couldn't stand her. He was crazy about all the Reardons. He spent a lot of time at the boarding house. He and Bea--they never explicitly said it was romantic, but they certainly were loving friends. This sounds worse than Bert's funeral. I really did not think that was possible.
    • It always bothered me from the start that Nicole just took Mona's suggestion and never checked references.  A real psychiatrist would have done more before hiring someone. ** I like that Kat's reporter/investigative type instincts caused her to be suspicious of Eva from the start, and to try to spy on Eva and catch her as weeks went by. However, I think that Kat's so focused on what Eva did wrong -- that she won't see that Leslie is the master manipulator, making some things appear different than they actually are. I hope that Shanice's natural snoopy nature will get her to figure out what actually happened to Laura, and who really caused all the problems. *** edit to add: The show never specified what Mona's job was for Nicole.  Home manager?  Office manager?  Head personal assistant?  I'm sure there would have been a title?    Mona asserted today her upset with Eva and with Leslie.  That they used her and ruined her reputation.  I just wish I knew what Mona's job was. If Mona was an official manager, then it would have made sense for Nicole to trust the recommendation, if Nicole thought Mona had done a proper hiring procedure.  But if Mona is just an informal helper, then why wouldn't Nicole order a background check?
    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy!
