Well I saw today - midway through til the end.  It was bad.

Did Pam die?  I wondered why Charlie was available and giddy. 

The delay on RJ telling Brooke..."grandad....is......is.........he's......dying."  Ker plunk.  Is this supposed to be the most shocking news ever?

Carter staring blankly at Ridge as he semi-gloats....I mean, does anyone not know what's going to happen?  I feel like at least.....they could have had it be a fan vote of the show (that I didn't even see)....but what if there was a fan vote, combined with orders received for the gowns as to who the winner was.  And just from what I saw.....

The winner was Ridge.  Until Carter points out - the Countess cancelled her order.  And fan vote was squarely on Eric's side anyway....it was orders from stores and large buyers that had Ridge in the game....but when they look at also - what fans and the end buyers actually want, it was Eric.  

Or something like that.  At least.  I dunno.  Blah

Fan vote? WTF??

This showdown was dumb as hell.

Looks like a place you hold a baby shower or birthday party. It even looked like a bingo joint.

I haven't watched today's show but boring is the key word concerning the fashion show episodes.

LOL! 
 

I had to howl at Katie’s lifeless narration of the show, like HT put in zero effort. 

Marie Osmond as the countess was totally over the top camp and not in a good way either lol. 
 

Esther and Charlie were corny as hell this whole time…this whole crossover was focused on this and not focused on anything Lauren related? 
 

And I agree with the above, the show’s ending was very Hokey Pokey silly. Surprised Eric didn’t mention the stapler again

I missed all of that the first time around but read about it here.  And I heard him mention the stapler incident (didn't see it when it happened).  They'll have Ridge give Eric a stapler at some point - easy.  "Here.  I know how much it meant to you, I guess.  This belongs to you."

It was bad. Just stupid to have her character do any of it in the first place. and couldn't she have dressed for the occasion?

And why the hell would Esther want a "Forrester Creations Original" in the first place? Couldn't she buy one off the rack at Fenmore's? NONE of those gowns was special in any way.

That contest? Honestly, if you gave me photos of all those gowns, I could NOT put them into a collection. I have no idea who created what, because they all look like they came out of the same design knock-off factory. Couldn't they have created two lines that looked separate and different?

And then all this talk about onlookers "placing their bids." For those gowns? LMAOOOOOOO And why the hell would ANYONE care who "won "?

The entire week has been a FAIL.

It's like the part was written for someone else and they had a last minute cancellation. Marie was so bad.

The whole week was a wild flop. I binge watched it while cooking this weekend. I couldn't believe how low stakes it all felt. Fashion shows were the highest stakes events on B&B and this one just flopped.

    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
