B&B: December 2013 Discussion Thread

[YRBB]

Cos we HAVE to talk about Brooke's Vagina Adventures!

[ChitHappens]

Yep!

[Cheap21]

How is it after all these years, she's never had an STD or at the very least, an STD scare?

[YRBB]

She's a rich, white Californian. That doesn't happen to them. It only happens to poor folks and people of other races. Obvs.

[ChitHappens]

Destiny, all 18 of them, are never attached to STDs.

Has Brooke ever just had a casual relationship? I think she would be a lot less of a clown if everyone weren't her destiny.

[JellicleCat]

I think Brooke has a worse reputation than she actually deserves. She has made some horrible choices in men (Deacon and Bill), but she has never been as promiscuous as her reputation might lead people to believe. I would even go as far as to say that she is not promiscuous at all.

[ChitHappens]

I happen to agree. She's Grade A Trash for sure, but Brooke doesn't get around that much. Brooke's rep comes solely from screwing her female relative's men.

Once is soapy, but twice is cartoonish!

[Cheap21]

Its not the quanity but rather the quality of the men she's been with. I don't care how many men you didn't sleep with. The minute you have sex with your daughter's husband, you are automatically a slut IMO

[Chris B]

I can't wait for Ridge, Steffy and isn't there another big casting I'm forgetting that I'm excited about? Well basically, I can't wait for B&B this month.

[Juliajms]

It's nice to see someone excited about the show. I hope it lives up to your expectations.

[Ponds]

Brooke has also slept with Ridge's father, brother and half-brother AND her other daughter's boyfriend.

[edgeofnik]

If Brooke was a man, this wouldn't even be an issue. (The family stuff has always been weird. However, I think that's a matter of B&B being a 30-minute show, which doesn't allow for a lot of "non-core" characters being on the canvas at one time.) Also, noted, with only a couple of exceptions (Deacon and Pose-Pose, which she thought was Ridge), Brooke sexual encounters have been in the context of relationships. It's not like we see Brooke hanging out at "cougar bars," just picking up random men or even purposely targeting attached men and trying to take them away from others for the sake of sport. The Brooke character has always been an enigma. She is supposedly very smart (chemist, has a college degree - a rarity in soaps, worked very hard to get where she is), is a warm-hearted person, yet the writers have constantly dumbed her down.

[YRBB]

OMG Donna just sucked honey off of Eric's finger... I just can't with this show! Quinn basically reacted the way I did

[Chris B]

I have been very entertained! I feel like B&B is the most surprising and best produced soap on the air this year.

[ChitHappens]

The last time I watched, I felt it was worse than GH, and that says a lot!

The show is visually stunning. The exteriors are wonderful and the shots are to die for. The characters, however, are rancid and the "stories" are abysmal. The musical bedmates is cringe worthy.
