BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

I am loving that Anita's story is off and running. And it's a slow burn.

 

OOoooo another Bill/Smitty scene. But I'm loving that the seed that Bill planted has really been growing over yesterday and now today's episode. Cuz Smitty going to Nicole...uh oh now. 

 

Kat continues to be smart and love it. But hopefully she realizes she's getting played by Silk Press Sheila. 

 

And probably in the minority, but I do like the June storyline so far. And it has not stalled really at all. It feels organic in terms of pacing.

I'll add that I did think the Bill/Smitty scenes were the best--played really well.

[Taoboi]

OMG!!!! ONE OF ANITA'S BANDMATE IS COMMMMMMMMINNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

[Soaplovers]

Dani seems the type that blew through her trust fund before she hit 30.. so she probably doesn't have any liquid assets... and neither she nor Pamela seem like they're money smart.

Vanessa seems to be into experimenting.   I think she and Doug both have addictions (his to gambling and her to the thrill of sex and/or getting caught).

The breakdown for the episode was ok, but some of the lines were a bit off (except during the Anita scenes and the Smitty/Bill scenes)

Bill/Smitty have chemistry.. shame they don't play for the same team.  The messiness if they did.

Kat proves one doesn't need a romantic nor sexual partner to have an active role in a storyline.  Though I hope Eva/Tomas/Kat is revisted soon.

June and Hayley talk alike, act alike, and even kind of look alike facially.   They better be related or why the casting for both actresses?

[Taoboi]

Omg...the way that Bill is manipulating Smitty and messing with his words. Oooo that's the type of scheming man I would think he would be.

 

Not Jacob at Silk Press Sheila's door to take her to the station!!!! 

 

Nice cliffhanger. And look at next week!!!

Oh I actually like that Vanessa has an sex addiction (or more to the dangers of it it seems)--there's a lot that they can do with it.  I just find the interactions we've seen with her and the men she roleplays with, always in restaurants it seems, are really weirdly scripted.  I mean I know a bit about roleplay, and this is just weird *that's all I'll say* LOL

"The breakdown for the episode was ok, but some of the lines were a bit off (except during the Anita scenes and the Smitty/Bill scenes)"

Completely agree with everything in this statement.  (And yeah, actually I find myself enjoying the low-stakes Anita storyline a bit to my surprise.  Far more interesting than just hearing them yet again bragging about how important they were to "the cause" and at all these marches, etc.  Even when Vernon proved such a bad singing--which of course we know the actor who has sung on Broadway isn't...) 
 

[Taoboi]

I agree. But Timon has chemistry with just about everyone but his character's wife. lol. I love the fact that Bill is so spiteful that he's messing with Martin and Smitty's marriage with what he knows.

 

Most def. And I love every moment of it with her Blair Waldorf coded self. I'm sure it will loop back around to the triangle soon enough. 

 

I had a different theory on who Hayley is related to, but if her and June turn out to be related I wouldn't mind. Hayley definitely needs something to do other than stalk her husband.

Oh and love how Leslie seems fixated 24/7 on her agendas but finds time to chill out with a horror film...

[Rmodelboy]

I loved how todays show had so many people mixing it up. 

 

Leslie loving horror films made me love her even more lol

Yes and todays episode has me thinking that shes gonna use Ted's newfound love for his daughter to her advantage and try to re win him 

[Taoboi]

She got taste!

[LondonScribe]

Catching up with the episode now.

Is it me or did the addition of the new Ted in the opening titles come with a slight remix of the theme tune?

[dragonflies]

I love how fast they updated the opening, if this were BOLD it'd take over a year lol 

I gotta admit Keith is winning me over 

[alwaysAMC]

LOL!  You're right, I'm out of my mind   This is me reacting to your post (if you know Phaedra Parks at all):

Anyway, thanks for breaking it down for me. Sounds like I need Friday happy hour!  

[Taoboi]

I can see that...especially after her phone call with her mother.

[kalbir]

Andre having mommy issues is an intriguing thought.

Vanessa is quite the thirsty thot.
