BTG: September 2025 Discussion Thread

Oh wow! That was terrible. I just look her up. It says she only lasted 16 episodes. I would have loved to be standing at that water cooler listening to the cast light her up. 

Now onto Jan. She caught my interest. Lol! 

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Two things can be true at the same time.... Kat can be an entitled brat and Eva can be a lying enabling schemer.   Tomas could be bad in bed and Kat might just not into him so of course the sex isn't anything to write home about.

The only highlight of this episode was the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story... and Doug going to Bill was a nice way to have two characters interact that normally don't interact... and then having Bill show to talk to Joey/Vanessa was a nice surprise since we all know Vanessa isn't exactly a big fan of Bill's.

It definitely was a nice cliffhanger. Bill walking up to Joey.

Dani Dupree is especially cute when she's drunk.  She sells seashells by the seashore.  Andre appeared to be wearing my grandmother's sofa as a jacket.  The two of them are FAR more entertaining when they're free of the Drab Ghost of Ashley, who hangs around Andre's neck like an albatross.  

Tomas didn't take it very well when Kat suggested their lackluster sex life is potentially attributable to his robotic line delivery and small pee-pee.

I can't stand Joey Armstrong, but his storyline always holds my attention, because it's such a sprawling spiderweb of crime and bad guys.

[Maxim]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeeees. Ahahhahha. Ameeen to all of this.

Andre regularly dresses like he is guesting on 106 & Park 25 years ago.

[MichaelGL]

Accurate.

[Vee]

Like he's on the poorly aged Diddy remix video, too. Idek what top he was wearing last week but it looked like something Sisqo would pass on. Vinyl or something.

Remember, she used play money last month and didn't know the difference? Waitresses need skills with making change etc..

[Antoyne]

Lol you’re a mess for the Camille gif but I died laughing when Kat said this.

Yeah I’ve never heard you can’t drink alcohol weeks after a miscarriage.

There’s not even close competition because say the girl who plays Sofia on Days, I actually think she tries she just sucks. I don’t even know what you would call what AA does. I don’t think he’s ever connected to a single word in his script ever. The fact that the showrunners can see this performance just like the audience and they don’t seem to care, is a serious problem.

For once I actually related to Vanessa when she said it became obvious that she needed more sex than Doug. I’ve been there. I just wish she was having this convo with anyone but Joey.

I wonder if she still has the Monopoly money!

I suspect the Joey/Vanessa saga is one of the clearest signs of Guza's influence on the show. That's a feature for me, not a bug because Golden Corral casino aside I actually think it's been pretty well-written and performed. LB has killed it every step of the way and Vanessa explaining herself to Nicole a few months ago, talking about how this affair (and the rest of the power broker relationship Nicole doesn't know about) has empowered her beyond being the lonely suburban wife she was, really rang strong and true for me. I also think Joey works as a kind of underworld nexus on the show. But I still think it will end with Vanessa taking his empire for herself.

I just hope BTG doesn't dispense with this whole route for Vanessa when Guza's name is off the show. She desperately needs to be woven deeper into the main show though, as do most of the white characters who aren't Smitty tbh. It's just that Vanessa, Smitty (and to a lesser extent) Joey (or even Pamela) are the only ones I care about.

So we just forgot that June has a sister Regina that loves the kids and has been searching for them for years? I guess she fulfilled her plot device required appearances bc its as if she never existed.

 

Peaches too whom Leslie said she'd vowe to pay for her treatment with her first check

-- I have to LOL when I see Randy. Here's a guy who says he wants to stay away from Joey's radar -- so he goes to the very public Orphey Gene's, sits in a booth, and broods loudly.

-- I'm still not feeling Vanessa and Joey at all. They've written her as a slut, and I don't know how anyone can argue with that and just call it "open marriage." Diego, I can see. Joey, I can't. And spare me the idea that no woman can resist Joey's peen.

-- Sue me, but I like Andre's outfit. I don't think he's always properly styled for the scenes he's in, but the fits are fittin'.

-- Andre and Dani scenes are fine, but we need to move on from having Ashley and Bill up all the time. Get this couple moving or end it.

-- I usually like Kat, but she was a complete bitch to Tomas. I've stated dozens of times that I think he's ridiculous, but I can't blame ANY of that or what's been happening on him. She's the one who's been lying from the jump.

-- Telling Tomas that maybe he's the one who isn't good in bed after misinterpreting everything he said was hard to watch. What a complete bitch.
