BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

Not Doug acting like people felt Dani might act during this Ted reveal.

 

Awww an Andre/Eva scene. 

 

Oooo Silk Press Sheila and her crazy woman music. 

 

MMmmmm...multiple cliffhangers!!!! Kat vs Eva. Nicole vs Ted. 

 

Awww hell no!!! Not Silk Press Sheila confronting the Duprees. Anita might eat her alive. lol.

And I was never so glad as to not see them. I was already annoyed at Vanessa/Doug interrupting the action. I actually might have felt a way about seeing them. For once. lol. I do think they were edited out though.

 

I mean...it's kinda hard NOT to look so   

 

Ooooo I didn't think about that.

The show has finally figured out the correct scene to have at the end of the episode.

The one thing I loved about the show today was that we got a pretty decent length scene of Silk Press Sheila at the celebration without any cutaways.  It reminded me of an old school soap opera scene that would run several moments (i.e. Renee's long speech going after the upstanding citizens of Salem on Days in 1983 before her murder).  

I think Anita and Silk Press Sheila would be evenly matched.. she would be the one person that Anita would have to work to get the best of.   

I do agree that Derek/Ashley were probably cut from the episode.. and maybe their scenes will be used in a different episode.  The scenes that were included (Bill/Hayley and Vanessa/Doug) had something to do with the scenes going on at the party.   

Unpopular opinion:  I actually prefer Bill with Hayley.. .they make a good couple.

And then next week it will out of sync again.

It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.

 

Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.

 

I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 

[Rmodelboy]

Yes and I also loved how she focused on Chelsea and Naomi when she spilled Bill's involvement in all of this.

[Cheap21]

What consequences are there to suffer? He didnt commit any crime and everyone already hates him. If anything this will set back the progress he's made with Naomi

[Taoboi]

I was thinking more unforeseen ones. I haven't thought of anything yet besides like you said...the setbacks with his daughters. 

 

I also can see Hayley and Eva probably finally bonding.

[kalbir]

That makes sense, as they are both outsiders.

[Taoboi]

I'm starting to wonder that as well.

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah... Trisha Mann-Grant totally stole the show today.

Idk if it was intentional or unintentional, but I've had a lot more sympathy for the characters that we were led to believe were the villains on this show, from the very beginning. And with Dana/Leslie, it was no different, especially after today.

And surprisingly, I was impressed by Brandon Claybon too, in that scene where Martin raged at Ted. I wish it had gone on a little longer. And I love how Smitty was there for him too.

I really hope the effects of this play out for a long time. This could have such a ripple effect across the canvas and I hope it does. Ted/Nicole, Dani/Andre, Kat/Tomas/Eva, Martin/Smitty, Bill/Naomi/Chelsea, there are so many possibilities. 

And I know this is a nitpick, but why weren't Tyrell and Samantha at their grandparents' anniversary party?

I haven't had 1 free second the past few days, so I'm gonna have to catch up tomorrow. Judging by the amount of people posting here... I'm getting the feeling it's going to be GOOD. 

[Toups]

This episode was on fire and definitely the best the show's done so far.  And of course the two big reasons were TMG and Ambyr Michelle who were phenomenal.  This could be both their Emmy reels.  Sad thing is they will probably be in the Supporting category so only one of them will win.  

Claybon was pretty good when Martin confronted his dad. I'm glad to see he's improving.  I also liked that scene with Andre with Eva, showing some compassion with his cousin. 

Now that the secret is out, Eva and Leslie can start to interact with more of the cast, like at the end of today's episode with Leslie showing up at the Dupree's.  And hopefully that will help the show be not as boring - this storyline was the only one that was truly interesting, and now it gets to branch out. 

Minor nitpicks: bad editing during the Eva/Leslie/Ted scene by themselves, and when Bill was rubbing Hayley's feet.  They gotta clean this up. 

[Soapsuds]

They said the teens had gone out for the night. With who? They have no friends to speak of. They should've been there at the party. The excuse was lame.

[AbcNbc247]

Really lame.

That's their grandparents'
