LOL at JR's rap sheet. I'm sure there a couple of crimes there missing too.

It doesn't matter I still love him, they could have him drown puppies and I would love him.

Scott is a hypocrite though, acting all offended because JR "stole" Cortlandt Ent. from Caleb (which coincidentally enough is probably what will save his sorry behind)

No, what Marissa needs to do is remember the old adage: "If you love someone, set them free. If they don't come back to you, then it wasn't meant to be."

Forget for the moment that Krystal is Marissa's bio mom. Let's just say she was/is a "friend of the family." Provided that she would advise or consul Marissa the same way, how would you look at Marissa's general reaction(s)? If someone gave you advice that you didn't necessarily want to hear, the adult and mature thing to do would be to say, "You know what? I appreciate your taking the time to help, but...Ima be me, and do what I gotta." Conversely, throwing something in their face that's entirely unrelated to the subject at hand - "Oh, you're just saying that b/c," blah blah blah - isn't.

Now, Marissa might have leverage over Krystal, but she should be mature enough to leave it in the past where it belongs. And if she isn't, then Krystal should at least ask, "What does that (the fact that I sold you as a baby) have to do with my seeing that you're heading for heartbreak?".

You all are purposely avoiding the point I'm making just because WE ALL HATE MARISSA!

I'm saying, Marissa has set up boundaries in her relationship with Krystal. Her relationship with Krystal is cool until those boundaries are crossed. Just like, dare I say, in our own lives, some people can get away with telling us things that other people can't because of the boundaries we set in place for those particular relationships. It's not that Marissa doesn't want to hear it. It's just Marissa doesn't want to hear it from Krystal. Why? Because, probably, Marissa feels Krystal is stepping into a role that Marissa doesn't want her in. The Maternal Role. Why doesn't she want her in that role? Because she had a mother she loved dearly and baby-selling Krystal doesn't come close to filling those shoes in her eyes and doesn't want Krystal acting as if she can. So the baby selling remark comes out to remind Krystal to back the hell up and know her position. It has nothing to do with what Krystal is saying. It has to do with what Krystal is doing -- stepping out of bounds. Hate Marissa, think she's a bore all you want -- but it doesn't change the fact that Krystal was being relentless. Marissa clearly wasn't being receptive, but it didn't matter. Krystal was going to smother Marissa with motherly concern whether she wanted it or not. Krystal was being totally selfish in that situation and got slapped back down to size. Krystal didn't just say, "Marissa, I see you're headed for heartbreak," and Marissa went, "What do you care? YOU SOLD ME AT BIRTH!" Krystal kept pushing, and pushing. Marissa said she didn't want to hear it. But still, Krystal pushed and pushed.

Was it the most mature thing to do? No. Was it understandable and within character for this particular situation? Yes. Krystal needs to be reminded that there is that HUGE roadblock in her relationship with Marissa, and that no amount of ignoring it and smothering the grown woman with unsolicited maternal wisdom is going to change that.

I wouldn't say I hate Marissa. I...uh...okay, I hate Marissa.

It's not that Marissa doesn't want to hear it. It's just Marissa doesn't want to hear it from Krystal. Why?

and...

Ah, okay. Now, I understand where you're coming from.

Thanks for the clarification, R!

Marissa can go drive her car into a ditch and die

I get what you're saying R, and I respect it, but I totally didn't see the scene like that at all. I don't hate Marissa, I just think she's extremely weak and in terrible need of some assertiveness training. If you're interpretation is correct, then IMO, Marissa should have said just that to Krystal. "Stop trying to be my mother, because you are not." The way she was talking, it seemed more like she thought Krystal didn't want her to succeed (in her marriage, in her career) because she isn't Babe.

Caught up! Good ol' AMC.

Even after 5 months, still not sure I'm ready for Kendall/Zach... I of course love Alicia, but Kendall/Zach have killed me in the previous 5 years at least. Which for some reason reminds me, Bianca wasn't on at all this week! Guess they are still trying to figure out Reese, and due to the press releases lately, I'm assuming this relationship will go south bc negotations have not been made yet...

AMS --- are you the one from Austin/Round Rock TX???

No, sir

Ugh that is a shame... you have become even smarter and more funny over the years and for some reason I thought you were from this area. Wouldn't mind meeting you

LMAO, I thought the same, though I wish he would have shot David in the hand. I still remember JR was the first one to break David's already hand.

That's my Chandler rebel. I'd still love him.

Yup. Difference is JR accepts he's not good. He knows it.

Aww, you're too kind! Thanks. We'll meet one day, I'm sure. I'll see you at the graveyard when it's time to bury AMC.

You want to have sex with Jacob Young. The lazy pretense is unnecessary.

Wait..you're just figuring out that I do wanna f*ck him?

Nooo. I'm saying you don't have to waste your time coming up with ways to make JR look honorable.

When the hell did I do that? I said difference between Scott and him and most of the town is he accepts it. He knows he ain't perfect, he knows what he does, does he care most of the time? No. Scott that's a different story

Scott steals from a dead person, yet to him JR fisted the Cortlandts buying thier company.

Just make sure no one does what she starts doing @ 2:42.

Since when is being aware of your own douchebag behavior something that merits a pat on the back? If anything, it makes JR look even worse because he knows he's full of [!@#$%^&*].
