thursday's show

What's with that stupid poof in Nikki's hair? It gets bigger and bigger every day. Kinda like a huge boil getting ready to pop.

Great scene with Gloria yesterday when she reminded "River"--writers, CHANGE THAT STUPID NAME, WILL YA?!--that he abandoned her and Michael yet managed to "raise that one".

Gawd, once again Jack went over all the wrongs Victor ever did to him. Too bad his memory isn't that long when it comes to the shit he's pulled on Victor. And others.

friday's rant o-rama

The writers have GOT to be shitting us. A week or so ago, Nikki throws a chair through Victor's window and instead of REPAIRING THE DAMN THING, it's still there?! Only Victor Newman would have guards at his gate, guards at his front door and a gaping hole in the side of his house. Oy. Heaven forbid GC gets a rainstorm....

What gives with Daniel’s goofy Charlie Chaplin look? And his "incredible" drawings that simply rocked the art world? Puhleeze. They looked like one of those “draw the turtle” sketches from the “do you think you have what it takes to be an artist?” ad. Although the bowl of fruit did speak to me. Made me hungry for an apple.

I can’t help but laugh every time Phyllis or Nick or Sharon or Jack act like they’ve been putting out RS for years. Today Phyllis said, “This stuff happens all the time.” They’ve only been publishing for a couple months. How would she know it happens “all the time”?

I’m not liking Colleen lately at all. She and Daniel agreed it was a rebound thing and she only went after him when she realized he still had feelings for Amber.

The sum total of Phyllis’ dialogue today was something like this: “Blah blah Nick blah Nick. Nick blah Nick blah blah Nick Nick blah.”

dum(b), dum(b), dum(b), dummmm(b)

I still can't fathom the stupidity it took for Cane to marry Chloe.

How does he think he's going to be a good father to this baby when:

A. He hates the baby's mother
B. He's in love with another woman, who is NOT the baby's mother

BWAHAHAHA!!

Jack to Sharon: "What kind of marriage do we have if you can't tell me the truth?"

The same kind you had when YOU were lying through your teeth to her, Jack.

What is Phyllis smoking? She thinks is FAB to work with her MOTHER-IN-LAW on a daily basis?! One can only assume she ate a lot of lead paint as a child.

I was surprised when Victoria took her job back at Newman. After all, whose going to curate that monstrosity of an art museum that Victor amassed while kissing his wife's ass? Maybe Daniel, the "artist". What happened to Daniel the photographer? For that matter, what happened to Daniel the porno hound?

I'm very proud of Sharon

When she so very cleverly "hid" the letter to Nick under the couch pillow, she followed one of the main rules of soaps:

"If you have something you don’t want anyone to see, draw great attention to it, then “hide” it somewhere anyone can find it."

You go, (stupid) gurl!

yet another surprising reveal

Amber's "Liam" is none other than Billy Abbott. And I'm totally convinvced he's the REAL father of Chloe's baby.

liar liar your briefs are on fire

Is it a good sign when the lawyer you use can lie with ease and proficiency to the Feds?

Course, Michael has been lying so long, it's always a laugh when something happens and he says he's "obligated" to uphold his oath. Pffft.

thursday's rant

How Zappoto lost his groove...
Why he hung around with TGVN, of course. His “poor poor pitiful me” routine is depressing even the dog. What’s with the sketch of Sabrina Victor is staring at? Doesn’t the man have any photos of their time together? To me they seemed like one of those couples who would have their portraits taken in cutesy poses every week, don't you think? Pics of them in identical outfits, identical colors, on the stairs, outside by a tree, with the dog...blah blah, endless poses. And yet, not one picture of Sabrina is sitting on the piano for Victor to pick up and gaze at longingly like Nikki used to do every week with the kids when her "job" used to be walking around the living room wringing her hands. Not even a damn video of Vic & Sabrina's happy times edited together with their favorite love song.


Why does Nikki think Victor is going to answer her phone calls when he won’t even allow her on the property? What part of "leave me alone" doesn't she get?

What’s with Phyllis saying she has a “HUGE stake” in Restless Style? Forgive me if I’m wrong, but Nick shelled out the $ for their half of the investment to begin with, and his daddy covered the loan for Jack’s share this week. So what IS her contribution? Other than being the best (and apparently the only) web master in the Free World? We know this because she reminds us ever so frequently.

Why would the Mexican authorities contact the Genoa City DA’s office? No one knows about Victor’s connection to Walter in Mexico and as far as everyone knows, he drowned during a storm. Even so, Victor has nothing to worry about as far as Heather is concerned. We’ve all seen her case solving “skills”. Gotta laugh though at how the show’s producers aren’t missing the opportunity to show her in her underwear every chance they can. Good thing. Lord knows she has no "assets" when it comes to beings an assistant DA.

Congrats to Nikki on once again magically curing her addiction. First it was the pill addiction she magically cured during a cruise. Now it’s the alcoholism. Even though she drank herself under the table in Mexico, she hasn’t touched a drink since. It must be the power of her love for Victor that’s “curing” her. If I strain really hard, I can hear the sound of tiny violins...

Colleen thinks Daniel wants a “girl who won’t cheat on him the minute his back is turned.” Hmm, guess that leaves her out then. Didn’t she sleep with da Professor while dating JT?

Did Gloria really think getting her hands on some stock would be as simple as telling Katherine she had some lame ass dream in which John told her to ask for some of his shares of Jabot as a gift? Does she think Katherine’s that gullible? “What a wonderful way to honor your friend.“ And how much stock is out there? Jack sold his, Katherine has 51% and Glo and Jeff have been busy “buying up shares” for weeks now. Wouldn’t the Abbott family own the largest portion of the other 49%? As well as Jill? Sounds like another case of the writers thinking the viewers are stupid. BTW, I've been reading that Ashley comes back for good. Wouldn't surprise me. They're not using her at all now on B&B.

HOW LONG is that big baby Jack going to keep boo hoo'ing about losing Jabot? FUCKING get over it already. If he tears up about it one more time, I’m gonna puke.

Kevin still has an IT job with Jabot?! We know this because he’s there all the times. Seriously, I can't remember the last time he set foot in their offices, but I'm sure he was committing a crime at the time.

"I vant to be alone!"

Only TGVN has the unmitigated audacity to go on tv and ask that nothing be written about him. If that’s not an open invitation for mags to write about him, I don’t know what is. Like the whole world cares about him and his life. Hell, the press doesn‘t even hound Trump to that extent. Gotta love how everyone followed his “leave me alone“ edict. Hours after the airing, Neil shows up, then Nicki forces her way in. Tomorrow it’s Adam.

Estelle to Nicki: “I don’t know what to do. The staff have nowhere to go!” She makes it sound like Victor kicked them all out in the middle of a blinding snow storm. They’re adults. I’m sure they know what the process for signing up for unemployment is. But what a stupid move anyway. Unless Victor plans on eating Hot Pockets for every meal, he’s going to have to rehire a new chef anyway. Ditto with the furniture not dusting itself. The whole set up is lame. He doesn’t want to talk to anyone yet we see him every day. Ugh. Leave home already!

I bet Victor never killed Walter. I bet he either fell overboard accidentally or he fell and Victor did nothing to help him.

How dumb was Nick to allow Jack to show his price for the magazine AFTER they tossed the coin? The idiots should have come up with an agreeable price BEFORE the coin toss. Great business savvy, Nick. And again, why is he dumb enough to buy the magazine when he himself said Jack’s asking price was more than the magazine was even worth. Ego. It’s all about the Newman ego.

Why is Nicki so psycho? Why does she insist on mothering Victor? It’s ridiculous. If Nicki is so worried about the help she should hire them herself.

I love how Adam has no clue as to why Victor was pissed off with his actions. He hires a man Victor hates to run the show, and fires a guy Victor loves. Gee, what could Adam have done wrong? Speaking of Adam, who keeps boo hoo’ing that he got nothing from Daddy but the boot, who paid for that Harvard education of his? I don’t think Hope funded it through sales of homemade jellies and jams.

I’ve never seen so many people bouncing from corporation to corporation as on The Young and the Restless. Vicki is with Newman, then she’s with Jabot, now she’s with Newman. Phyllis did the same thing, bouncing from Newman to Jabot to Newman. It’s insane. Nobody seems to hold their jobs longer than a month anymore.

"you are the weakest link!"


Gawd how I LOVED TGVN handing
Adam his ass on a silver platter.
Silver, Adam, cuz you're no longer
living off the Newman $$$$$.

zappato!

You know how I hates me some Victor Newman, but I love how he wanted Zappato brought back to the house PRONTO!!

love hungry or power hungry

I'm curious to see if Heather will be so gung-ho on her golden boy Adam now that Victor is back and has kicked him off the ranch and out of Newman.

And I wonder what that whole "anemia" thing was about? That seemed odd and out of place at the time. There's rarely "much ado about nothing" in soaps.

today's rants

Love the way "family man" Victor leaves Nikki behind and goes home without her. I know he's angry with her, but geez, she IS the mother of his children, alone in a foreign country. (Alone for all he knows.) So much for the Newmans pulling together in tragedy. Ar ar arrrrr.

Adam is dropping the Jr. from Victor Adam Newman? Apparently he thinks he's the second coming of TGVN.

seriously, could she BE any more pathetic?


















Apparently she can....


where there's a will, there's an attorney collecting a fee to write it

Poor Vic. Now he's going to have to spend some time writing a new will and new "touching" letters to each of his kids. BTW, why was there no letter for Abby? And why was Abby given a share like Victor's other "grandkids" when she's his daughter?

How ridiculous that Nikki has to persuade Victor to return to his own family. So he has a vendetta against her because of David Chow. Is that any reason to leave behind the children he claims to love so much?

family is gold

Heather needs to take off the rose colored glasses and see Adam for who he really is: a power hungry, "boo hoo, I don't have a mommy" jerk.

I love how Esther had to explain to Jill that Chloe/Kate really WAS her child. As if she wouldn't recognize her own child. And what's with Chloe's "I wasn't good enough to live at the Chancellor Estate" b.s.? Katherine paid for her schooling. Wasn't that enough?

Monday, September 1, 2008

every picture tells a story

Katherine is Chloe/Kate's godmother and yet she didn't recognize her? All these years, Esther has never shown her a picture of Kate? Sloppy writing there.

I LMAO when Victor wrote "....YOU carry the very spirit and sole of Victor Newman - the best parts of me - charity, generosity and forgiveness..." to Victoria. FORGIVENESS?! The man doesn't know the meaning of the word.

Victor gives Sabrina's things to charity, Heather ships Victor's crap to Good Will and now Katherine sends all the party food to the homeless shelter? Hell, those po' folks in GC are living high on the hog lately.

the young and the yawning

No wonder people don’t react anymore when Victor “dies”. This is the fourth time he’s done it. When he finally does die, the kids won’t even bother with a funeral cuz they won’t believe it. Victor “died” back in ‘83 to fool his secretary Eve; he “died” back in ‘93 when he disappeared to Kansas and was mugged. The mugger died in the crash and they ASSumed it was Vic. Back in ‘99, when he was on an island with Nikki, he found out Brad & Jack took over his company so he flew back home and his plane crashed. Once again he was presumed dead.

This will be HILARIOUS: when Victor returns, he walks in on Heather and Adam sexing it up on the living room couch. He glares at them and walks right past them without a word. I can almost smell the scorn. Or is that sperm? Seriously, have these two ever heard of a “bedroom” or “privacy” since apparently everybody and their mother walks through the front door of the “well guarded” ranch.
Then he calls Michael and has him summon Neil to the ranch because apparently Michael is now Victor’s personal secretary. He reinstates Neil--can’t wait to see the look on smug Brad’s face when he finds out he played both ends and lost. But this upsets me--Victoria and Nicholas race to the ranch to see Victor, but he refuses to see them. He has “some things to straighten out”. Bullshit. Then Victor calls Adam in and in a few short words dismisses him from the company and boots him off the ranch. YAY! Apparently in Victor’s letter to Adam, he asked him to share with his brother and sister, which he refused to do. I just wonder if this means Nick and Victoria will have to give back their crummy “inheritance”? I have to admit, it was an absolute hoot when Victoria tried to make it seem like she and Nick were thrilled with their crappy “gifts” and she said to Adam, “All you got was money. I hope it makes you happy,” and he said with smug smile, “It does.” LOL! I’m with ya on that one, Adam.

Apparently Chloe/Kate hasn’t told mama Esther of her arrival in Genoa City because she’s deeply ashamed of her mother. Yeah, this from a greedy chick who forced an innocent man to marry her and is lying about the father of her baby. I still it’s Billy. They’re not bringing him back for nothing, and the way the results of the DNA test was worded leads me to that conclusion. They did NOT say, “Cane is the father,” they said Cane’s DNA was in the same grouping as the baby’s father. My guess is she found out about Cane while sexing it up with Billy and she moved to GC to stake her claim. Esther shows up at Crimson Lights in that ridiculous maid’s outfit--who WEARS those things outside of Halloween parties?!--and Chloe/Kate is mortified. Sorry, can’t work up any sympathy for poor Chloe. There's nothing shameful in doing an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.

A lot of people online are complaining about Ana’s constant singing. One even asked if “she had a record deal with Sony”. LOL! Funny thing is “Colleen” DOES have a record deal and I was afraid she was constantly going to be singing. Caught me off guard when they brought this obnoxious character in.
