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.

    • Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something?
    • I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped. 
    • Rachel/Ada, Mona/Erica, a mother/daughter at LOVING, these are all examples of the Agnes Nixon "troublesome daughter/put upon mother" trope. Are Carla/Sadie by any chance one of the pairs that make up this trope? Another thing that these 2 shows might have in common. OLTL had a very strong thematic approach to socioeconomic differences between groups of people. Class differences. AW at an earlier point had this too but to be clear it was not as much as OLTL. So that is a similarity but marginal.  Besides that, I see no other comparable things. Paul Rauch was a very different EP at different shows. Oh, I've thought of one more thing. Using actors from the Broadway stage.  But, realistically that was something all of the NY shows had in common. So I don't think it has any uniqueness between AW & OLTL.  
    • When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.

    • I’m not speculating anything, but I admit, I’m getting a little worried about James Reynolds. 
    • I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.
    • However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show.  I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough.
    • The title track from the follow-up album Hot On the Trail is also co-written by Val Jean:
